- [Jared] The Hindenburg is the famous airship

- [Jared] 興登堡號是一艘有名的飛船

that met its fiery death in the year 1937.

情態副詞

Surprisingly, more than half of the people on board

令人驚訝的是，超過一半的乘客

In this video, I want to take you on a detailed tour

這部影片，我想要帶你更深入的探討

and why they are mostly a thing of the past.

and steering was near impossible at first.

A man by the name of Count Zeppelin created his own company

一位男士叫Count Zeppelin開創了自己的公司

and helped perfect the design of airships.

At the time, passenger air travel was not commonplace yet,

在那時候，航空旅行還未盛行，

so this was the fastest way to travel across the ocean.

所以這是跨越海洋最快的方法。

It was about twice as fast as an ocean liner.

Construction of the Hindenburg was completed in 1936.

To this day, it's still the largest flying object

時至今日，仍是有史以來最大的

It was built in Germany and funded by the Nazis,

which is why the swastika is on the tail.

If we remove these, you can see the frame of the ship.

如果把這些拿掉，你可以看到飛船的骨架。

The B deck is where the passengers board the airship.

There's angled windows to get a panoramic view

of the scene below, bathrooms, areas for the crew,

的有角度窗戶、廁所、船員的區域、

It was pressurized so that there was no chance

We'll talk more about this gas later in the video.

which is where the passengers spent most of their time.

乘客花大部分的時間都在這個地方。

There are more windows on both sides of the ship.

and the lounge area, complete with a grand piano.

還有休息區，有的一台三角鋼琴。

Normally, grand pianos can weigh as much as 1,000 pounds,

一般三角鋼琴重量可達1,000磅（454公斤），

but that's a lot of weight to put in an airship.

但這對要放在飛船裡來說太重了。

且只有大約356磅（162公斤）重。

The passenger cabins have two bunks each,

and the dining room was on the other side.

So now we've seen all the areas where passengers can go.

所以現在我們已經看完了乘客能去到的地方。

Let's see where the crew members could go.

我們換來看看船員的去的地方。

the keel corridor, which led to a walkway

This is the rudder wheel, which helps move the ship

to the left or right by controlling the rudders

Ideally, we want the ship as level as possible

理想中是要盡可能讓飛船保持水平

This is done by the elevators on the very back.

這是由最後面的升降器所達成。

so that they are close to the control car.

Along the side of the ship are four engine cars

with propellers to help move the ship forward.

配著能幫助飛船現前移動的螺旋槳。

There was always a crew member stationed at each engine car

每一座引擎會有一位在旅途所有時刻

This walkway is how the crew could get to the engine car.

Along the keel corridor are several shafts with ladders

沿著龍骨走到，有好幾跟有著梯子的軸

so the crew members could climb up higher.

These shafts were also used to ventilate gas.

This walkway through the center of the ship

These 16 gas cells are what hold the ship up in the air.

這16個氣體室是讓船能飛在天空的原因。

The cells were originally intended to be filled with helium,

這些氣體室原本打算要裝滿氦氣，

If we look at the periodic table of elements,

which means it will provide the most lift.

Unfortunately, it's also highly flammable,

so the intent with the Hindenburg was to actually

use helium, slightly heavier, but also much safer.

要使用氦氣，稍微重一點，不過也安全許多。
