Passage Three
段落三
Thank you for coming, everyone. Today's presentation will show how we see the development of the motor car in the short to medium term, and that is why we have invited all of you here today.
感謝大家的光臨。今天的演講將展示中短期內我們將看到的汽車的發展，這就是邀請你們來的原因。
Let's start with power. It's clear that petrol-driven engines have no future. Already there are many alternative fuel vehicles on the market, powered by anything from solar power to natural gas.
讓我們先從功率說起。顯然汽油發動機沒有未來。市場上已經有很多替代性的燃料汽車靠太陽能和天然氣給予動力。
Some independent thinkers have even produced cars that run on vegetable oil. But as we all know, of all these alternative fuel vehicles, the most practical are electric vehicles.
一些獨立思考者甚至生產出使用植物油的汽車。但是我們都知道，所有替代性的燃料汽車中最實用的是電動汽車。
Sure, in the past electric vehicles have their problems, namely, a limited driving range, and very few recharging points, which limited their use.
當然，電動汽車在過去有一些自身的問題，也就是汽車可行駛里程受限、充電地點很少。這些都限制了它的使用。
Now, however, recent developments in electric vehicle technology mean they can match conventional petrol engines in terms of performance and safety.
然而現在電動汽車技術的發展可以使其在性能和安全上匹敵傳統的汽油發動機汽車。
Let's not forget that electric vehicles are cleaner. Plus, importantly, the power source is rechargeable, so this does not involve using any valuable resources.
不要忘了電動汽車更清潔。另外，更重要的是使用充電電源，所以不會浪費任何寶貴的資源。
Moving on to communications, very soon, cars will be linked to GPS satellites, so they'll do all the driving for you.
至于通訊系統，不久汽車將會連接衛星定位系統，這樣它們就可以為你開車了。
What controls remain for the users will be audio-based, so, for example, you'll just have to say “a bit warmer”, and the air conditioning will adjust automatically.
用戶可以通過聲音控制汽車，比如你只要說“再暖和一點”，空調將會自動調節溫度。
You'll also be able to receive email, music and movies, all via an internet link. So just type in the destination you want, sit back, sleep, watch your movie, whatever.
你還可以通過網絡連接接收郵件、音樂和電影。所以只要輸入你的目的地，然后放松休息、看電影，干什么都行。
