今天来自特斯拉的一些惊人消息。10月1日，新款特斯拉Roadster将以不止一种方式亮相。特斯拉官方账号今天发布了配文“and go for launch”、预告图片以及官方日期。
Some amazing news today from Tesla. 1st of October, the new Tesla Roadster will launch in more ways than one. The official Tesla account today posting the caption "and go for launch", the teaser image, and the official date.
如果你访问tesla.com/roadster，就能看到一个倒计时，在我录制这段内容时是18天20小时11分33秒。
If you head to tesla.com/roadster, you can see a countdown, 18 days, 20 hours, 11 minutes, and 33 seconds as I'm recording this.
我们几乎可以肯定看到的是新款特斯拉Roadster的尾部，以及四个冷气推进器，用于实现绝对疯狂的、打破物理规律的加速。
We are almost certainly looking at the rear of the new Tesla Roadster and four cold gas thrusters for absolutely insane physics-breaking acceleration.
除非特斯拉在这里进行了某种极端的艺术加工，否则几乎可以肯定这就是车辆的尾部，位于四个冷气推进器上方，至少从这张图片的呈现方式来看，这些推进器是向上倾斜的，这将迫使车辆紧贴地面。
Now, unless Tesla has taken some extreme artistic license here, it seems almost certain this is the rear tail of the vehicle positioned above four cold gas thrusters which are angled upward at least based on the way that this image looks, which will force the vehicle to hug the ground.
那么问题就变成了，这辆车能飞吗？答案显然是能，这意味着显然不会只有四个后部冷气推进器。很有可能这些推进器实际上可以万向转动，那将会非常疯狂。
The question then becomes, will this vehicle be able to fly? The answer is obviously yes, which means there'll obviously be more than the four rear cold gas thrusters. High probability this might actually gimbal which would be insane.
但就安全性而言，如果你要这么做，并且很可能借助冷气推进器在约一秒内从零加速到每小时60英里，你需要它们把车辆稍微压向地面以获得抓地力，否则就会出大问题。
But, in terms of safety, if you're going to do this and probably accelerate from zero to 60 miles an hour in about a second flat with assistance from the cold gas thrusters, you need them to be pressing the vehicle into the ground a little bit for traction, otherwise big problem.
这是最大、最明显的暗示，表明这东西，这辆真正的车，至少能暂时飞行。那么，新款特斯拉Roadster能飞吗，至少是暂时飞行？绝——对——他妈的能，是的。
This is the biggest and most obvious hint that this thing, this actual vehicle, will at least temporarily be able to fly. So, is the new Tesla Roadster going to be able to fly, at least temporarily? Absa-fucking-lutely, yes.
不过我很有兴趣看看这些冷气推进器在道路上的合法性，但可以肯定的是，其主要目的就是把0到60的加速时间压到一个快得不可思议的数字。
I'm interested to see though, road legality of these cold gas thrusters, but guaranteed the primary purpose of this is to get the 0 to 60 time down to an impossibly quick number.
也就是说，一个靠传统手段、也就是靠轮胎，在车辆上根本无法实现的0到60加速时间。我强烈怀疑特斯拉的工程师们一直在研究、瞄准1秒以内的0到60加速时间，因为这简直就是史上最大的炫耀资本，大约比当今世界上最快的车辆快一倍。
As in, a 0 to 60 time that's literally impossible to achieve in a vehicle by traditional means, meaning tires. I strongly suspect Tesla's engineers will have been looking, aiming for a sub-1-second 0 to 60 time cuz it's just the biggest bragging right of all time, about twice as quick as the world's fastest vehicles today.
据推测，这是完全相同的图片，但那些冷气推进器看起来背景里几乎像是有星星。更仔细地看这个，我们几乎可以肯定看到的是某种尾部扰流板。
Presumably, it's the exact same image, but those cold gas thrusters almost looks like there's stars in the background. Looking more closely at this, we're almost certainly looking at a rear spoiler of sorts.
不管这玩意儿到底叫什么，但在这张照片里这东西肯定是在飞。我不会推测到他们真的会在发布会上把其中一辆送入轨道的地步，但我们绝——对——他妈的会看到一场飞行/临时悬停演示，毫无疑问。
Whatever the [ __ ] this thing is called, but this thing is for sure flying in this shot. I won't go as far as to speculate they're literally going to send one of these into orbit at the launch event, but we are absa-fucking-lutely going to see a flying {slash} temporary hovering demo, no doubt.
如果你懂哪怕是最基本的物理，你就会意识到不可能只有那四个冷气推进器。否则，这辆车所能做的就只是以远超历史上任何其他车辆的速度从零加速到60，大概只需一半的时间。但它无法飞行，至少无法安全地飞行。
If you understand even basic physics, you'll realize that there can't possibly just be the four cold gas thrusters. Otherwise, all this vehicle be able to do is [laughter] go zero to 60 faster than any other vehicle in history by far, probably half the time.
But, it won't be able to fly, at least not safely.
也就是说，至少必须再有四个推进器，每个角一个，左前、左后、右前、右后。
Meaning, there has to be at least at a minimum four additional thrusters, one on each corner, front left, rear left, front right, rear right.
这样一来，无论它们是否具备万向转动能力——想必是有的——我们都能获得向上的推力，也就是说推进器朝下，把车辆向上推，从而减缓下降速度，实现更柔和的着陆。
That way, whether they gimbal or not, presumably they would, we can have some upward thrust, meaning the thrusters are pointing down, pushing the vehicle up to slow its descent for a gentler landing.
这很可能也意味着车辆可以直接垂直悬停或垂直起飞，而且如果后部推进器和底部推进器同时工作，还能进行长距离跳跃。它们将推动车辆向前，实现长距离跳跃。
This is also likely to mean the vehicle could just hover vertically or take off vertically, and also do long hops if you have the rear thrusters as well as underneath at the same time.
They're going to propel the vehicle forward to be long hop.
但是，还有另一个有趣的特点。如果你这么做——这一点我现在要正式记录下来——那绝对会至少配备四个额外的推进器，也许是六个，也许中间还有一个，那样总共就是10个，4加6。几乎可以肯定，会是8到10个推进器。
But, there's another interesting feature. If you do, which at this point I'm going to put on the record, that absolutely will have at least four additional thrusters, maybe six, maybe one in the middle there as well, which would be a total of 10, 4 + 6.
It's going to be 8 to 10 thrusters, almost certainly.
另一个有趣的可能性或特点是，这些推进器同样朝上，从而产生向下的力。它们既把车辆向前推，也向下压，让车辆贴住地面。
Another interesting possibility or feature is that these thrusters, which again are pointed upwards, which creates a downward force. They're pressing the vehicle both forward, but also downwards, having it stick to the ground.
你实际上可以用它来增加抓地力，进而提升操控性，进而提升过弯的能力和速度。但是，等等，还有更多。如果底部的推进器也能万向转动，那么它们还可以被用来做一些真正荒谬的事情，比如以令人难以置信的、近乎脑残的速度过弯。
You could actually use this to increase traction and therefore handling and therefore the ability and the speed at which you can take corners. But, wait, there's more. If potentially the underbody thrusters also gimbal, and these could also be used to do some truly absurd things about handling corners at just unbelievably brain dead speeds.
想象一下你从这边过来。你有一个非常急的弯要过。多漂亮的一个弯啊。而你就在这里，开着Roadster以荒谬的高速冲进弯道。
Imagine you're coming this way. You got a real sharp corner to take. What a beautiful corner. And here you are driving like a [ __ ] in the Roadster at absurdly fast speed into the corner.
然而，如果你有这些冷气推进器，而且它们能万向转动，前部和后部两侧至少各有一个，甚至中间也有。你可以在这样过弯时喷出冷气，其结果就是把车辆推回弯道并绕着弯道转过去，
However, if you have these cold gas thrusters and they gimbal, got at least one on either side of the front and the rear if not ones in the middle as well. You could blast cold gas out as you're taking a corner this way, the result of which is going to push the vehicle back into and around the corner,
这意味着，有了这些额外的冷气推进器，可能就能做到——不只是后部那些提供实际加速和速度的推进器，还能提供一些抓地力，因为它们朝上，意味着有向下的力，同时还有可能实现绝对疯狂的过弯。
meaning it might be possible with these additional cold gas thrusters, not those on the rear just providing the actual acceleration and speed, but also some traction because they're pointed upward meaning some downward force, but also potentially for absolutely insane cornering.
你也可以利用这些推进器。我们或许能看到特斯拉的Roadster不仅加速比历史上任何车辆都快，而且过弯也比历史上任何车辆都快得多。
You could also utilize these thrusters. We might be able to see Tesla's Roadster not just accelerate faster than any vehicle in history, but take corners much faster than any vehicle in history.
哦对了，顺便说一句，它还能飞／悬停。这简直要疯得离谱。现在，还有一件显而易见的事你肯定在想：好吧，如果它能更快过弯，假设我们这里有一个推进器，这里一个，这里一个，这里一个，还有这里和这里。
漂亮的推进器。如果它们能万向转动，也就是说能指向和转向，那有什么能阻止它们也被用来刹车呢？
And oh yeah, also by the way, it can fly / hover. This is going to be batshit insane. Now, one additional thing obviously you're thinking, well, if you can take corners quicker as well, let's say we have a thruster here, a thruster here, thruster here, thruster here, and here and here.
Beautiful thrusters. If they gimbal, meaning they could point and turn, what's to stop these also being used for braking?
只需朝这个方向喷出一些冷气，这同样会产生朝这个方向的反作用力，从而大幅减慢车辆的速度。这可能是人类历史上加速最快、刹车最快、过弯最快，而且是唯一能飞的汽车。
Simply shoot some cold gas this direction, which again is going to cause force back this way, which is going to dramatically slow the vehicle. This might be the fastest accelerating, fastest braking, fastest cornering, and only flying car in the history of humanity.
事实上，我要说所有这些都会成真。这不仅仅会是0到60英里加速比你见过的任何车都快，而且它还能飞。它还会以创纪录的速度飞驰过弯——不是字面意义上的飞——并且凭借冷气推进器，刹车比历史上任何车辆都快。
In fact, I'm going to say all of these things are going to be true. This isn't just going to be 0 to 60 time faster than you've ever seen, and it flies. It's also going to be flying around corners, not literally, but at record speed.
And braking faster than any vehicle in history thanks to the cold gas thrusters.
这东西会疯得离谱。演示、发布，都会疯狂。我现在的主要问题是，人类，一个普通人，能否承受——这里是双关——承受这辆车将能实现的疯狂加速和减速？
This thing is going to be bonkers. The demo, the launch, is going to be crazy. My main question now is, will human beings, a typical human, be able to handle, pun intended, handle the insane acceleration and deceleration this vehicle will be capable of?
所以，这些就是我的——是的，它会飞／悬停。是的，它的加速会远远超过历史上任何车辆，大概只需一半的时间，大约一秒左右，可能略多一点，也可能略少一点。我相信他们想做到一秒以内，但我的意思是，物理就是法则，所以我们拭目以待。
So, those are my my Yes, it's going to fly / hover. Yes, it's going to accelerate faster than any vehicle in history by far, probably about half the time, roughly a second, give or take, might be a tiny bit over, might be a tiny bit under.
I'm sure they wanted to get under, but I mean, physics is the law, so we'll see.
它的过弯也会比任何车辆都快，刹车比任何车辆都快，而且还会把互联网彻底炸翻。
It's also going to take corners faster than any vehicle, brake faster than any vehicle, and also break the [ __ ] internet.
现在，以防你们忘了，很多年前，我们确实曾一睹 Tesla Roadster 的风采。此后我们就再没看到过任何东西，但这就是我们上次真正看到这辆车时的样子。
Now, in case you guys forgot, many years ago, we did get a peek at the Tesla Roadster. We haven't seen anything since, but this is what it looked like last time we actually saw the vehicle.
显然，有几处发生了变化，包括冷气推进器的位置，在最初的视频里它们似乎位置更低一些，就在车牌所在的地方。看起来像是一个小小的下拉面板之类的东西。
Clearly, a few things have changed, including the location of the cold gas thrusters, which in the original video appear to have been a little bit lower where the license plate was.
Looked like a little drop-down panel or something along those lines.
我迫不及待想看到最终成品。这将是一场史诗级的活动，会为 Tesla 的其他产品带来巨大的关注，而且它毫无疑问将是有史以来最酷炫的车辆。
I can't wait to see the final product. This is going to be an epic event that will draw a huge amount of attention to Tesla's other products, and it's going to be the most badass vehicle of all time, hands down.
