| Today I'm going to show you an electric vehicle that weighs less than a bicycle, that you can carry with you anywhere, that you can charge off a normal wall outlet in 15 minutes, and you can run it for 1,000 kilometers on about a dollar of electricity . |
今天我给大家看一个电动交通工具 它比自行车还轻, 你可以随身带到任何地方 在墙上插座充电15分钟, 你就能够跑1000公里远 电费大约就1块钱。 |

所以我们做了个东西。 |
| I've got some of the pieces in my pocket here. |
我这儿有几个零件在口袋里。 |
| So this is the motor. |
这是马达。 |
| This motor has enough power to take you up the hills of San Francisco at about 20 miles per hour, about 30 kilometers an hour, and this battery , this battery right here has about six miles of range, or 10 kilometers, |
这个马达有足够的能量带你 在旧金山以每小时20英里的速度爬坡, 大约每小时30公里, 这个电池 能支持大约六英里,或10公里的范围 |
|
battery:n.[电]电池,蓄电池;n.[法]殴打;n.[军]炮台,炮位;
|
| which is enough to cover about half of the car trips in the U.S. alone. |
足够走大约一半的 美国境内的汽车旅程。 |
| But the best part about these components is that we bought them at a toy store. |
最妙之处是这些零件是 我们在一家玩具店买来的。 |
|
components:n.部件;组件;成份(component复数);
|
| These are from remote control airplanes . |
这些是遥控飞机上的。 |
|
remote control:遥控; airplanes:n.(美)[航]飞机(airplane的复数);
|
| And the performance of these things has gotten so good that if you think about vehicles a little bit differently, you can really change things. |
这些零件的性能太好了 你要是从不同的角度来考虑交通工具, 你真能改变事情。 |
|
performance:n.性能;表现;业绩;表演;
|
| So today we're going to show you one example of how you can use this. |
今天我们给你们示范一下 如何使用这个工具。 |
| Pay attention to not only how fun this thing is, but also how the portability that comes with this can totally change the way you interact with a city like San Francisco. |
别光看它多有趣, 也看看它的轻便是如何 能够完全改变你与像旧金山这样的城市的互动的。 |

| [Regenerative Braking] |
（再生制动） |
| (Applause) |
（掌声） |
| (Cheers) |
（欢呼） |
| So we're going to show you what this thing can do. |
我们将展示它能做什么。 |
| It's really maneuverable . You have a hand-held remote, so you can pretty easily control acceleration , braking, go in reverse if you like, also have braking. |
很容易操作的。它有一个手动遥控器, 很容易控制加速,刹车, 倒着走也可以,同样可以刹车。 |

我要告诉你们这个技术和这种的交通工具的 最引人注目的事实之一。 |
|
compelling:adj.引人入胜的; v.强迫; (compel的现在分词) technology:n.技术;工艺;术语;
|
| This uses 20 times less energy for every mile or kilometer that you travel than a car, which means not only is this thing fast to charge and really cheap to build, |
比起汽车来, 它每英里或公里能节约20倍的能量, 也就是说这个不仅充电快 做起来也很便宜, |
| but it also reduces the footprint of your energy use in terms of your transportation . |
就运输而言也减少了 能量的消耗。 |
|
footprint:n.足迹;脚印; transportation:n.运输;运输系统;运输工具;流放;
