We're talking about obsoleting the internal combustion engine--and do it in terms of its affordability, add skill volumes, its performance and its durability.
我們打算淘汰內燃機,并在提高可購性,增加技能,提高性能和耐用性方面努力。
So that's what we're driving to for 2010.
這就是2010年我們要傲的工作。
We haven't seen anything yet in our development work that says that isn't possible.
目前還沒發現在研發過程中有任何跡象表明我們的想法不可行。
We actually think the future's going to be event-driven.
我們相信未來將成為具體事件的導向。
So since we can't predict the future, we want to spend a lot of our time trying to create that future.
雖然我們無法預測未來,所以我們會努力花時間去創造未來。
I'm very, very intrigued by the fact that our cars and trucks sit idle 90 percent of the time: they Parked all around us.
我們的汽車以及卡車有90%的時間是停放著的,我對如何挖掘這段時間內車子的潛能很感興趣。
They're usually parked within 100 feet of the people that own them.
這些車就停在我們周圍,停在距離他們的所有者不到100英尺的范圍內。
Now, if you take the power-generating capability of an automobile and you compare that to the electric grid in the United States, the power in 4 percent of the automobiles, equals that of the electric grid of the U.S.
比較汽車和美國電網的發電能力,汽車電力的四分之一相當于美國電網的供電能力。
That's a huge power-generating capability, a mobile power-generating capability.
所以由此可看出汽車發電能力的強大,而且還是可移動的發電。
And hydrogen and fuel cells give us that opportunity to actually use our cars and trucks when they're parked to generate electricity for the grid.
氫燃料電池讓我們能夠充分利用資源,即使汽車和卡車停著的時候也能發電,為電網所用。
And the key to all of this is to make it affordable, to make it exciting, to get it on a pathway where there's a way to make money doing it.
但最重要的是我們要讓汽車物美價廉,變得令人興奮,并且有足夠的資金進行研發。
And again, this is a pretty big march to take here. And a lot of people say: how do you sleep at night when you're rustling with a problem of that magnitude?
要實現我們的設想還有很長的路要走。許多人擔心,如果考慮這樣一個巨大的工程,晚上怎么睡得著。
And I tell them I sleep like a baby: I wake up crying every two hours.
我告訴他們我睡覺時就像小嬰兒一樣,每兩個小時就醒來哭一次。
Actually the theme of this conference, I think, has hit on really one of the major keys to pull that off--and that's relationships and working together. Thank you very much.
我認為這次研討會的主題,實際上就是策劃出關鍵要素,并予以實現。那就是關系網的建立與相互合作。謝謝。
