1、第四篇 Motoring Technology第四篇汽车技术1.2 million road deaths worldwide occur each year, plus a further 50 million injuries. To reduce car crash rate, much research now is focused on safety and new fuels. though some electric vehicle and biofuel1 research aims at going faster. 在世界范围内,每年发生 120万起交通死亡事故,加上 500
2、0万起伤残事故。为降低车祸发生率,现在有很多研究的重点是安全问题和新燃料问题。尽管一些电动车和生物燃料的研究旨在达到更快的速度。1. biofuel:生物燃料。 bio(-)用于名词或形容词前,表示“使命”或“生物”。Travelling at speed has always been risky.
