China Daily原文：

Although failing to qualify for the FIFA World Cup finals soccer tournament now underway in Qatar, China is making a huge contribution to the largest global sporting event. Chinese products, infrastructure projects and sponsors have won praise from appreciative fans and potential customers. In recent months, Luo Yang, a sales manager at the overseas business unit of Higer Bus Co, a bus and truck manufacturer based in Suzhou, Jiangsu province, has kept a close eye on the 1,815 buses the company delivered to Qatar last year. These vehicles operate shuttle services for the thousands of fans, officials and journalists from different countries during the tournament, which is being staged from Nov 20 to Dec 18.

虽然未能获得正在卡塔尔举行的国际足联世界杯足球锦标赛的比赛资格，但中国正在为这项全球最大的体育赛事做出巨大贡献。中国产品、基础设施项目和赞助商赢得了来自球迷和潜在客户的好评。近几个月来，总部位于江苏苏州的客车和卡车制造商海格尔客车股份有限公司海外业务部门的销售经理罗阳一直在密切关注该公司去年交付给卡塔尔的1815辆客车。在11月20日至12月18日的世界杯期间，这些车辆为来自不同国家的数千名球迷、官员和记者提供接送服务。
