微软公司发明的汽车【1】(笑话,译文)
译自法语by me, 英语由Gemini proofread过
The Microsoft Car
Our dear Bill Gates, the boss of Microsoft, is going to present the latest invention of his computer scientists to the President of General Motors. It's a concept car with very advanced technology.
“Thanks to Microsoft, you could own a car you could never imagine. In addition to flying, the car drives itself. It has a maximum speed of 500 km/h (explanatory note: =310.7 miles/h). It is also very economical because it consumes only 10 centiliters of gas per 100 km (explanatory note: = 2362.8 miles/gallon). I haven’t even talked about the comfortable interior or the gadgets it will include. And do you know how much? Only $2,000. What do you think, Mr. President?”
“All of this sounds pretty,” the President of GM answered, “but who wants to drive a car crashes five times a day?”
微软公司发明的汽车
我们的宝贝比尔盖茨,微软公司的老板,要向通用汽车公司总裁展示微软计算机科学家的新发明。一辆包揽一切高端科学技术的概念汽车。
“只有微软公司,您才能拥有一辆您想象也想象不出来的汽车,它可以飞翔,它可以无人驾驶。它可以达到500 km/h (译注:=310.7 英里/小时) 的速度。它还非常省油,用0.1 升汽油可以开100公里(译注:=2362.8 英里/加仑)。我还没告诉您舒适的车内装饰或小玩意都应有尽有。您猜猜价钱?只要2000刀!您怎么想,总裁先生?”
“好倒是好,” 通用汽车公司总裁回答,“但是有谁想开一辆一天在行驶时要熄火5次的车呀?”
