CNN News:人類(lèi)未來(lái)的理想城市馬斯達(dá)爾

You probably haven`t heard of Masdar City. It`s located near the Persian Gulf in the United Arab Emirates, it`s basically this large scale experiment, a model for the city of the future. But its cost is $18 billion. Its success is uncertain. As Erin Burnett found out on the tour of Masdar City, part of the project`s value lies in what could be.

你可能沒(méi)有聽(tīng)說(shuō)過(guò)馬斯達(dá)爾城，它位于阿拉伯聯(lián)合酋長(zhǎng)國(guó)波斯灣附近，這廣大的土地面積基本用來(lái)做未來(lái)城市模型。但是這將花費(fèi)180億美元，并且成功與否還是未知數(shù)。在艾琳伯內(nèi)特在馬斯達(dá)爾城游覽的途中，這項(xiàng)工程的價(jià)值都決定在了它將會(huì)變成什么。

About 20 miles outside Abu Dhabi, Masdar City is striving to be the greenest city on Earth.

大約在距離阿布扎比20英里以外的地方，馬斯達(dá)爾城正在努力打造成地球上最環(huán)保的城市。

So, I think a city of the future is going to be based on people walking to where they live, to where they work and to where they play.

所以，我認(rèn)為未來(lái)城市的建造將基于人類(lèi)居住環(huán)境，工作環(huán)境和休閑環(huán)境而建。

And if you aren`t walking, city director Tony Mallows says you can take a magnetically controlled car wherever you need to go.

如果你不走路的話，城市項(xiàng)目負(fù)責(zé)人托尼瑪洛斯告訴我們說(shuō)，你可以乘坐一個(gè)磁懸浮汽車(chē)去任何想去的地方。

Welcome to Masdar City.

歡迎來(lái)到馬斯達(dá)爾城市。

This is a little car?

這種小型汽車(chē)?

Yeah, this is personal rapid transit. This is how you get around this city. It`s driveless, it`s electrical and the solar power. It comes when you want it and it takes you anywhere - you want to go and you leave it alone.

是的，這是一種個(gè)人快速汽車(chē)。你可以乘坐這輛車(chē)在城市里轉(zhuǎn)一圈。不用你開(kāi)車(chē)，依靠電力和太陽(yáng)能為動(dòng)力。當(dāng)你需要它的時(shí)候它就會(huì)到達(dá)你身邊，然后開(kāi)車(chē)帶你去任何你想去的地方，然后你自己逛街就可以了，不用管它。

So it`s driveless.

它是自動(dòng)駕駛的。

Yes.

是的。

Navigating the city`s 2.4 square miles is relatively easy.

它對(duì)城市2.4平方英里的地形還是很熟悉的，這還相對(duì)容易一些。

This is a dream of what the future could be, but is it really going to happen? I mean is this going to be anything more than a demo?

這就是城市未來(lái)的樣子，但是這真的會(huì)實(shí)現(xiàn)么?我的意思是它真的不僅僅只是一個(gè)演示畫(huà)面么?

It`s a model for open development that is really sustainable because it`s not only environmentally sustainable, socially and economically.

這是對(duì)所有現(xiàn)有事物開(kāi)放的發(fā)展平臺(tái)，真的需要可持續(xù)發(fā)展，因?yàn)橄胍獙?shí)現(xiàn)這種生活方式不僅要環(huán)境可持續(xù)發(fā)展，還需要社會(huì)和經(jīng)濟(jì)的可持續(xù)發(fā)展。

Fewer than 500 people live here. That falls far short of the original goal of 40,000 by next year. A goal set at the pick of the economic boom. Right now, about 1200 people work here every day, in buildings that are specially designed to help produce water and energy

現(xiàn)在有不到500人居住在這里，距離明年4萬(wàn)人的最初目標(biāo)相距甚遠(yuǎn)。一個(gè)設(shè)立在經(jīng)濟(jì)繁榮基礎(chǔ)上的目標(biāo)?，F(xiàn)在，大約每天有1200人在這里工作來(lái)建造專(zhuān)門(mén)設(shè)計(jì)用來(lái)幫助代替水和能源

consumption, by as much as 40 percent, according to city officials. With more than 87,000 solar panels, the city produces its own electricity, of setting 15,000 tons of carbon emissions a year. City engineers say that`s the equivalent of taking about 3,300 cars off the road in Abu Dhabi. And

消費(fèi)的項(xiàng)目，據(jù)市政府工作人員統(tǒng)計(jì)大約有40%。在擁有超過(guò)87000塊太陽(yáng)能電池板的情況下，城市可以自己發(fā)電，減少了每年15000噸的碳排放。城市工程師表示這相當(dāng)于阿布扎比道路上少了3300輛車(chē)。

walking around the city innovation can be seen everywhere.

行走在城市中各種創(chuàng)意隨處可見(jiàn)。

So, you are looking at a wind tower, which is a traditional Arabic designed, cool, right?

所以你現(xiàn)在正在琢磨建造一座風(fēng)塔，這也是阿拉伯傳統(tǒng)設(shè)計(jì)風(fēng)格，用來(lái)降溫，對(duì)吧?

Yes, absolutely. So, you take a traditional Arabic element on cooling, totally pass of energy, totally sustainable. And then you use modern technology to make it even more efficient.

是的，當(dāng)然。把阿拉伯傳統(tǒng)元素運(yùn)用到降溫上來(lái)，完全是能量的傳遞，也完全是可持續(xù)發(fā)展的環(huán)保舉措。然后再利用現(xiàn)代技術(shù)達(dá)到效果更佳。

The Masdar Institute is also partnered with MIT to develop new renewable energy sources, like making jet field from the seed of a weed that grows here, in the desert.

馬斯達(dá)爾學(xué)院也和麻省理工學(xué)院進(jìn)行合作來(lái)共同開(kāi)發(fā)出新的可再生能源，就像在沙漠里灑滿(mǎn)種子，生長(zhǎng)出來(lái)之后可以作為飛機(jī)場(chǎng)。

So, this is obviously happening here.

所以這些其實(shí)都已經(jīng)成為事實(shí)了。

Yes.

是的。

In the middle of a desert. Your ambition on what you are trying to prove is much bigger.

在沙漠中部，你的夢(mèng)想要比你現(xiàn)在正試圖證明完成的要大的多。

Absolutely. I mean globalization is a key issue for the future, not only because cities are going to attack global warming. We have to understand how to build cities that are low carbon, and that`s why Masdar City is such an important contribution to globalization and urbanization.

當(dāng)然，我是說(shuō)全球化是整個(gè)未來(lái)發(fā)展的主題，不僅是因?yàn)槌鞘幸庥鋈驕厥倚?yīng)。我們必須需要明白的是該如何建造出一座低污染的城市，這也是馬斯達(dá)爾城為什么對(duì)全球化和城市化貢獻(xiàn)如此之大的原因。
