-[Jared]今天的影片我們要提及軍事

情態副詞

We'll look at the caterpillar tracks, the turret,

and the engine in the back that powers it all.

The M1 Abrams Tank was introduced in the year 1980.

of United States Army General Creighton W. Abrams Jr,

美國陸軍將軍小克雷頓·W·艾布蘭

allowed enemy fire to deflect off the side.

During operations, the crew may spend hundreds of hours

在操作過程中，乘組員可能要花費數百小時

We have the M1, then came the M1A1, and then the M1A2.

我們有M1，然後來了M1A1，然後是M1A2

There's also minor variants of the tanks,

with many different enhancement packages.

But to keep things simple, let's not worry about these,

但是為了簡單起見，我們不用擔心這些

Each new version is generally heavier, and slower,

I'm gonna focus specifically on the M1A2 Abrams Tank.

will be true of the previous versions as well.

the length is 32 feet, and the width is 12 feet.

長度是 32 英尺(9.8公尺)，寬度為 12 英尺(3.7公尺)

For comparison, here's the size of a person.

為了比較，這裡是一個人的大小。

That's equal to the weight of about 35 cars.

the tank is capable of speeds of up to 42 miles per hour.

坦克有速度的能力高達每小時 42 英里 (68公里)

It has a fuel capacity of just under 500 gallons.

most cars can only hold about 16 gallons.

because they only get about point six miles per gallon,

因為他們只能每加侖開到 6 英里 (9.7公里) 遠

compared to the average car 25 miles per gallon.

與平均水平相比每加侖行駛 25 英里 (40公里)

So it's a gas guzzler but it's heavy and powerful.

所以這是一個耗油量大，但它又重又強大

Let's look at some other features of a tank.

the wheels, they're seven on the ground on each side,

and the Turret, which is the part that spins on top,

and holds the weapons and other equipment.

Now that we're familiar with the outside of the tank,

and we'll start with the caterpillar tracks.

They are made of steel with replaceable rubber pads.

它們由鋼製成，帶有可更換的橡膠墊

There are seven road wheels on each side of the tank,

and it's the only one that's powered by the engine.

引擎提供的動力只會傳輸到這個輪子

The road wheels also have suspension built into them.

車輪也有內置於其中的懸吊系統

The whole reason we use caterpillar tracks,

is to allow the tank to go over some very rough terrain.

是為了讓坦克走在一些非常崎嶇的地形上

Most barriers don't pose any problem for the tank to pass.

大多數障礙都沒有構成坦克通過的問題。

Regular vehicles with four wheels have limited surface area

一般四輪車的車輪接觸地面面積有限

That's why it's a good idea to stay on paved roads.

這就是為什麼普通車留在鋪好的道路上

has a much larger surface area to displace all that weight.

具有更大的接地面積承受所有的重量。

Obstacles in the way are usually not a problem.

The tank can even climb some very steep hills.

坦克甚至可以爬一些非常陡峭的山丘

Most of the time it's still a smooth ride

在大多數情況下，它仍然很平穩

The tank is steered by altering the speed of the tracks.

坦克改變方向的方法為改變履帶的速度

the right tracks need to move faster than the left tracks.

右邊的屐帶需要運轉的比左邊快。

are the most likely part of the tank to break.

The good news is that the tank usually carries tools,
