New York City's Flying Taxis
Nobody likes sitting in traffic! Cars, buses, and trucks move very slowly.
They make lots of bad smells, dirty air, and noise! People get angry. They
honk their horns.
沒有人喜歡塞車。塞車的時候,車輛很緩慢地移動。這樣會製造很多噪音、廢氣。駕駛也容易生氣,一直按喇叭。
How can we get away from all that slow, stinky, noisy traffic?
我們如何避免慢吞吞,臭烘烘,而且吵鬧的塞車呢?
There's great news! New taxis are coming to New York City. They're electric,

Why? Because these taxis can fly!
好消息!

Electric air taxis look like very big drones with car seats! They fly with
six small propellers. These make flying easier.
空中計程車看起來像大型的無人機, 裡面有汽車座椅,還有六個螺旋槳。
Electric air taxis can fly in all directions. They can go up and down, left
and right, to the front and to the back!
空中計程車可以飛上下、左右、往前、還往後。
Electric air taxis can carry a pilot and four passengers. These air taxis are
fast. They take seven minutes to fly from the airport to the middle of the
city. That's much, much faster than driving!
空中計程車可以搭載一名駕駛跟四位乘客。從機場到市中心只需要7分鐘,比汽車快得多。

People in Sweden made a flying ferryboat! Wait... what's a ferryboat?
Ferryboats are buses on water. They carry many people. People use them to go
to work or school. Some ferries carry cars too.
Ferryboat渡輪就像水上的公車,載人上班、上學,也可以載車子。
Ferries need to push lots of water so they can move. That takes a lot of
energy. All that water makes ferries slow. It also makes ferries move side to
side and up and down. Many people feel seasick.
渡輪需要很大的動力才能往前走。水流會讓渡輪的速度變慢,也會搖晃。很多人會因此暈船。
The flying ferry from Sweden can carry thirty people. It doesn't carry cars.
It starts in the water. Then it flies close above the water!
瑞典的飛行渡輪可以搭載30個人,它不載車子。它從海上起飛並在海面上飛行。
This flying ferry doesn't need to push water to move, so it doesn't use a lot
of energy. It's very fast. And it doesn't move side to side or up and down.
People don't get seasick.
這艘飛行渡輪速度非常快,而且不需要消耗很多的動力,也不會搖晃。
And this ferry is electric! That helps the Earth. Electricity costs ninety
percent less than the fuel for other ferries. What a huge saving! That helps
ferry companies.
這艘渡輪是電動的!
電力的花費比燃油便宜九成,所以電動飛行渡輪幫助地球也幫助渡輪公司。
Electric flying ferries are good for people, ferry companies, and the Earth!
Can we have them in Taiwan?
