雙語(yǔ)閱讀：飛行汽車(chē)誕生了

　　Flying cars has always captivated the world's imagination. Now, one company claims it is one step closer to making the technology a reality after releasing new designs for its revolutionary vehicle known as the TF-X.

　　飛行汽車(chē)一直以來(lái)都吸引著全世界的想象力。如今，一家公司發(fā)布了一款名為T(mén)F-X的革新運(yùn)載工具的最新設(shè)計(jì)，聲稱(chēng)他們朝著把技術(shù)變?yōu)楝F(xiàn)實(shí)又邁進(jìn)了一步。

　　Terrafugia's concept vehicle - which doubles as both a plane and a land car - has fold-out wings with twin electric motors attached to each end.These motors allow the TF-X to move from a vertical to a horizontal position, and will be powered by a 300 hp engine.

　　Terrafugia公司的概念車(chē)既可作飛機(jī)又可以作汽車(chē)，一對(duì)可折疊機(jī)翼各按有一個(gè)馬達(dá)，保證TF-X可以從縱向朝水平方向移動(dòng)，其引擎驅(qū)動(dòng)達(dá)300馬力。

　　Thrust will be provided by a ducted fan, and the vehicle will have a cruising speed of 200 mph (322 km/h), along with a 500 mile (805 km) flight range.

　　導(dǎo)管風(fēng)扇提供推力，飛行汽車(chē)的巡航速度可達(dá)每小時(shí)200英里(322千米/小時(shí))，巡航里程可達(dá)500英里(805千米)。

　　The company says its aim is to provide 'true door-to-door transportation,' with the vehicle capable of being parked in a home garage like an ordinary car.The planned four-person TF-X will be semi-autonmous and use computer-controls so that passengers can simply type in a destination before taking off.

　　公司稱(chēng)他們的目標(biāo)是提供真正的“門(mén)對(duì)門(mén)的交通運(yùn)輸”，飛行汽車(chē)可以像普通汽車(chē)一樣停在自家車(chē)庫(kù)里。TF-X計(jì)劃四人座，由電腦半自動(dòng)控制，乘客只要起飛前輸入目的地即可。

　　However, Massachusetts-based firm Terrafugia says the TF-X will still be another 8-12 years in development.

　　然而，總部設(shè)在馬薩諸塞州的Terrafugia公司稱(chēng)，TF-X還要8至12年才能成形。

　　They have been dreaming about flying cars since the turn of the 20th century. The Transition street-legal airplane is the first step on the road to the practical flying car.They're making personal aviation progressively safer and more accessible to a broader segment of the population.

　　Terrafugia公司稱(chēng)自20世紀(jì)之交，他們一直夢(mèng)想做飛行車(chē)。Transition這款飛機(jī)可以在路面行駛，這是他們邁向真正飛行汽車(chē)的第一步。他們?cè)诓粩鄡?yōu)化其安全性，并讓更多人接觸到私人飛行。
