- 參考譯文

Three university students in Santiago, Chile have developed a plant-powered device to charge their mobile phones.
在智利首都圣地亞哥, 3名智利大學(xué)生已經(jīng)研發(fā)一種植物充電設(shè)備來為他們的手機充電。
The three engineering students got the idea for the device while sitting in their school's courtyard. Their invention is a small biological circuit they call E-Kaia. It captures the energy plants produce during photosynthesis.

As free as they make us, mobile phones still need to stay close to a power source. Soon that may change with “green” power. VOA’s Jessica Berman reports. |
這三名工程專業(yè)的學(xué)生在間歇坐在學(xué)校的戶外庭院休息時萌發(fā)出用植物為手機充電的創(chuàng)意。這3位在校學(xué)生的發(fā)明是一種名為E-Kaia的生物充電器，原理是利用植物在光合作用中產(chǎn)生的能量。
A plant uses only a small part of the energy produced by that process. The rest goes into the soil. E-Kaia collects that energy. The device plugs into the ground and then into a mobile phone.
植物只會用掉一小部分—而E-Kaia則會收集其余進入土壤的能量。將這種設(shè)備埋入土壤之中,然后與你的手機相連接。
The E-Kaia solved two problems for the engineering students. They needed an idea for a class project. They also needed an outlet to plug in their phones. visit the website www.chinavoa.com to get more information!
E-Kaia為工程系的學(xué)生們解決了兩個難題,首先完成了他們的課程項目,其次是手機也有了充電設(shè)備。
One of the student inventors, Camila Rupcich, says the device changes the energy released from the plant into low-level power to charge phones.
其中一個學(xué)生發(fā)明者，卡米拉聲稱該設(shè)備將植物釋放的能量轉(zhuǎn)化為低功耗電力以供手機充電。
The E-Kaia is able to fully recharge a mobile phone in less than two hours.
E-Kaia足以在不到2個小時內(nèi)為手機充滿電力。
