Flying Race Cars
Narrator: 哇! 賽車好快喔! Do you like race cars? Many people enjoy watching
these cars race. That’s why they are called race cars.
Narrator: Race cars are fun. But I also like helicopters. 直升機你有坐過嗎?
Narrator: Riding in helicopters is cool because you can fly! 那 …
不然併在一起吧! Let’s put helicopters and race cars together! Just think
about it – a flying race car.
(sfx: dream music)
Vo: Here I am in my flying race car. I’m going so fast, faster than a bird!
Narrator: Well, guess what? We don’t have to just dream about race cars that
can fly. Somebody has already made one. Yes, it’s true. 是真的喔! It even
looks like a cool race car.
Narrator: This flying race car has a good name, too. It’s called the
Airspeeder. 會飛的賽車有個好名字，叫做[空氣速度機] That’s a great name. The
word “air” is because it flies in the air. The word “speeder” is good, too.
That’s because the Airspeeder speeds through the air. It can go 200
kilometers per hour! That’s faster than most cars!
It flies pretty low, too. 這種賽車也可以低飛! Just four meters above the
ground. How high is that? Let’s see. A tall man is about two meters. So, four
meters is like one tall man standing on another tall man’s shoulders………….
Narrator: There’s one more great thing about the Airspeeder. ……….
It doesn’t use gas. 它不是用油. It runs on electricity. That means it doesn’t
hurt the environment. 用電的本來就比較環保. Electric cars and airplanes are
great! I really hope I can ride in a flying race car. Hope to see you flying
one in the sky, too! 這樣我們就可以一起比賽! ………
