情態副詞

You want a new car but you only have $3,000.

你想要一臺新車，但你只有 3,000 美元。

This tiny, funny looking car from India is the Tata Nano.

這臺來自印度的、小巧又造型奇特的車就是 Tata Nano。

And it is quite simply one of the cheapest new production cars to ever exist.

它簡直是史上最便宜的新量產車之一。

Tata produced the Nano from 2008 to 2018.

Tata 在 2008 年到 2018 年間生產了 Nano。

And that engine is a 2 cylinder 624 cc liquid cooled engine making about 37 horsepower which is actually fairly good for a car this size.

那具引擎是 2 汽缸 624 cc 液冷引擎，可輸出約 37 馬力，以這尺寸的車來說其實算不錯了。

It has a four speed manual transmission and later Nanos were even offered with a semi automatic transmission.

它配備四速手排變速箱，後來的 Nano 甚至還提供半自動變速箱。

Would you like to see that engine because it's right in here.

你想看看那具引擎嗎？因為它就在這裡面。

This is where the extreme attention to cost cutting starts to become apparent.

這就是為什麼極致的成本削減在這裡開始變得明顯。

Because even though this looks like a hatch, it it is not.

因為雖然這看起來像掀背，但它不是。

Later Nanos did have a hatch here, but this one does not have that.

後來的 Nano 在這裡確實有掀背，但這一款沒有。

To access the engine you have to pull the back seat forward like so.

要打開引擎蓋，你得像這樣把後座往前拉。

And then the engine is under this little hatch.

然後引擎就在這個小小的掀背下面。

And of course the attention to cost cutting doesn't stop at the lack of a hatch.

當然，成本削減的考量不只在於沒有掀背。

The car is made out of very thin sheet steel because that was cheaper.

這臺車是用非常薄的薄鋼板做的，因為那樣比較便宜。

The doors are very light because they're very thin and they have no detents on them.

門板很輕，因為它們很薄，而且沒有定位點。

They just float around much like a Trabant.

它們就這樣飄來飄去，很像 Trabant。

The wheels only have three lug nuts because that saved four lug nuts per car which was slightly cheaper.

輪子只有三個輪轂螺母，因為這樣每臺車可以省下四個輪轂螺母，比較便宜。

There is no wing mirror on this side, only on the driver's side.

這一側沒有照後鏡，只有駕駛座側有。

This is a right hand drive car by the way.

There is only one windshield wiper where two would have been slightly better.

只有一個雨刷，兩個會好一點。

You have to access the fuel by opening the hood.

Base models of this car not only didn't have air conditioning, but

這臺車的基礎款不只沒有冷氣，

they didn't have heat or any ventilation through the climate control whatsoever.

甚至連暖氣或任何空調的通風都沒有。

The only ventilation you got was from rolling down the windows and hoping for the best.

你唯一的通風方式就是搖下車窗，然後祈禱一切順利。

They also had unassisted steering and unassisted brakes.

它們還配備了無動力輔助的轉向和煞車。

When you look at how extreme the cost cutting was on this car, it becomes amazing that they did things like this, make custom headlights just for this car.

看看這臺車的成本削減有多極端，竟然還會為了這臺車訂製頭燈，這點很令人驚訝。

這些都不是來自其他車子的零件。

I mean the whole rest of the car body is made for the Nano because it is the Nano.

我的意思是，車身的其他部分都是為了Nano而做的，因為它就是Nano。

But just amazes me that they didn't use an off the shelf part.

但讓我驚訝的是，他們沒有使用現成的零件。

但這才是真正讓我驚豔的地方。

I keep mentioning the base level Nano, but the one I'm sitting in isn't the base model.

我一直提到基礎版的Nano，但我坐的這款不是基礎款。

It's the LX trim Nano or the deluxe version.

這是LX等級的Nano，也就是豪華版。

So despite having no detents in the doors and no hatch in the back to save money, this specific one has power windows, power and central locking.

所以儘管為了省錢，車門沒有定位點，車尾也沒有掀背，但這款特別的車卻配備了電動車窗、電動中控鎖。

This car, according to the museum staff, it cost about $3,200 when it was new, has air conditioning.

這輛車，根據博物館人員說，剛出廠時大約是3,200美元，竟然有冷氣。

As you can quite clearly see, the Nano has four doors.

And you would be surprised how much legroom there is in here.

你會驚訝這裡的腿部空間有多大。

I have no trouble sitting in this back seat, and

I sat in the front seat to make sure that it was in my position.

我坐在前座，確保它在我習慣的位置。

It's almost more spacious than my Fiesta, which is mind blowing.

它幾乎比我的 Fiesta 還寬敞，這真是太令人驚訝了。

Now, of course, one of the reasons it is so spacious in here, aside from the engine being in the back, is because there's not much in the way of crash structures.

現在，當然，它之所以這麼寬敞，除了引擎在後面，也是因為沒有太多碰撞結構。

As you might imagine, the way this car performs in a crash is.

你可以想像，這輛車在碰撞中的表現是。

Have you ever stepped on an empty soda can?

If you're looking for actual numbers, this car got a zero star crash safety rating.

如果你想要實際數字，這輛車的撞擊安全評級是零顆星。

This is, after all, a very cheap car, and

畢竟這是一輛非常便宜的車，而且

it certainly is better than your family of four riding on the back of a motorcycle.

它絕對比你一家四口擠在機車後面好多了。

In the middle we have the gauge cluster, which consists entirely of the speedometer and the fuel gauge, also the odometer and some idiot lights.

中間是儀錶板，裡面只有速度表和油量表，還有里程錶和一些警示燈。

We have the climate vents just below that, and

just below that, the optional climate controls, which unbelievably includes air conditioning in front of the passenger, is basically nothing.

再往下是可選配的空調控制，令人難以置信的是，前面乘客這邊竟然沒有冷氣。

這裡只是一個儀錶板上的凹槽和一個出風口。

As you might expect, this car has no glove box and no airbags.

正如你所料，這輛車沒有手套箱也沒有安全氣囊。

You can roll down your windows via crank and you can open the doors and you can lock the doors, but

你可以搖下車窗，打開車門，鎖上車門，但是

我們現在來短暫試駕一下，好嗎？

Now, unfortunately, I can't take this anywhere outside of the parking lot because this one has a coolant leak and therefore overheats.

喔，很可惜，我沒辦法開這臺車離開停車場，因為它有冷卻液洩漏，所以會過熱。

或者，也許這只是他們告訴我的。

Typical stuff, except I'm on the right hand side of the.

這是很常見的狀況，只是我是在右駕的這邊。

I mean, it's actually kind of normal car esque.

Very, very small, but normal car feeling.

非常非常小，但有一般汽車的感覺。

Two cylinder shifting with the wrong hand.

This car only weighs about 1400 pounds and it has 12 inch wheels.

這臺車大概只有 1400 磅重，而且配備 12 吋的輪胎。

It actually feels quite sprightly at these low speeds.

在這種低速下，感覺其實相當輕快。

I won't know anything until I get to higher speeds, which I will never be able to do, but

我不知道，除非我開到比較快的速度，但我永遠不可能開到那麼快，不過

I wish I could take it on a longer drive.

我真希望可以開著它去跑一趟長途旅行。

This is the only one in the country, I'd have to imagine, and

我想這應該是全國唯一的一臺吧，

I will not be able to Import1 for 25 years.

而且我得等到 25 年後才能進口。

There is minimal sound deadening because cost, but it's pretty quiet in here.

因為成本考量，隔音效果很差，但這裡面其實挺安靜的。
