In a year of startling upheaval for the aviation industry, one seismic change, at least, had already been predicted.在航空业发生惊人剧变的一年里，至少有一个巨大的变化早已被预测到了。For years, China has been en route to become the world's biggest aviation market, eclipsing the United States. The International Air Transport Association predicted it would happen by 2024, but it seems the Covid-19 crisis has fast-tracked the takeover.多年来，中国一直在努力成为世界上最大的航空市场，从而让美国黯然失色。国际航空运输协会预测，这将在2024年前实现，但Covid-19危机似乎加快了超越进程。China snatched the crown of largest country market in May 2020, according to data from aviation analysts OAG, and, while the US sputters, IATA now says that China "continues to lead the global recovery of aviation activity."根据航空分析师OAG的数据，中国在2020年5月抢占了全球最大国家市场的桂冠，而在美国的气急败坏的诉说声中，国际航协现在表示，中国将“继续引领全球航空活动的复苏”。Underpinning this transition is a huge migrational shift of China's workforce towards urban centers, which, at least before the pandemic, was generating a burgeoning demographic of middle-class consumers with higher disposable incomes and an insatiable appetite for air travel.支撑这一转变的基础是中国劳动力向城市中心的大规模迁移，至少在疫情大流行之前，城市人口正在迅速增加，中产阶级消费者拥有更高的可支配收入，对航空旅行有着永不满足的欲望。As of the beginning of this year, more than 200 extra airports were scheduled to be built in China over the next 15 years to cope with the relentless growth spurt. And, not so long ago, Boeing's 2019-2038 Commercial Market Outlook was saying that China would require 8,090 new passenger aircraft deliveries plus associated support services over the next 20 years -- a market that Boeing estimated as being worth $2.9 trillion.截至今年年初，中国计划在未来15年内增建200多个机场，以应对不断增长的势头。不久前，波音公司发布的2019-2038年商业市场展望称，未来20年，中国将需要8090架新客机交付以及相关的支持服务，波音公司估计这个市场价值2.9万亿美元。Meanwhile, transportation dots are finally being joined up across the country's vast expanse, helping to drive the extraordinary scale of China's infrastructural ambitions.与此同时，中国广袤的土地上的交通运输点终于被连接起来，这有助于推动中国基础设施非凡规模建设的雄心壮志。"China has become criss-crossed with direct domestic air routes," says Cristiano Ceccato, director of Zaha Hadid Architects, the firm behind the recently opened Beijing Daxing International Airport.最近开通的北京大兴国际机场背后的扎哈哈迪德建筑师事务所负责人克里斯蒂亚诺·塞卡托表示：“中国国内直航航线已变得纵横交错。”。"This fine-grain reticulum of connectivity mirrors China's High Speed Rail network and reflects the exponential growth in need for small and medium-sized airliners which can satisfy the traveling public's demand for safe, fast and inexpensive means of travel."“这种精细的互联网络映射出了中国的高铁网络，反映了对中小型客机需求的指数增长，这些飞机能够满足广大旅客对安全、快速和廉价的旅行方式的需求。”exponential growth：按指数律增长
