程度副詞

contrary to their sleepy daytime Personas, hamsters are also super energetic during the night.

跟牠們白天看起來懶洋洋的樣子不同，倉鼠晚上其實超有活力。

Have you ever seen one of those little dudes run on their wheels?

They can easily run for five or more miles every night.

牠們每晚可以輕鬆跑個五英里或更多。

That's a lot for a human, much less a couple inch long rodent.

對人類來說這已經很驚人了，更別說是一隻幾吋長的齧齒動物了。

It's no wonder that the entire Life Noggin world is powered by little hamster generators.

難怪整個 Life Noggin 世界都是靠小小的倉鼠發電機在運轉的。

And that fact got Triangle Bob thinking of a very strange question.

而這個事實讓 Triangle Bob 產生了一個非常奇怪的問題。

Could the human world be powered by hamster wheels?

人類世界有可能靠著倉鼠輪運轉嗎？

It sounds like a random question, and that's cause it is.

聽起來是個隨機的問題，因為它確實是。

但背後有一些有趣的科學原理。

Let's start with something small, like what it would take to power your house first before we bite off more than we can chew.

我們先從簡單的開始，在你吞下太多東西之前，先想想把你的房子點亮需要多少能量。

這是什麼東西，一個「袋子」嗎？

那個笑話是給我的 DND 玩家們聽的。

According to the US Energy Information Administration, the average American household used an average of a little over 914 kilowatt hours hours per month in 2018, or around 30 kilowatt hours per day.

根據美國能源資訊局的數據，2018 年美國家戶平均每月使用約 914 度電，或每天約 30 度電。

While it's a little harder to pin down just how much energy a hamster could produce, an older Georgia Tech study gave us a bit of an idea.

雖然要精確估計一隻倉鼠能產生多少能量有點難，但喬治亞理工學院一項較早的研究給了我們一些想法。

After hooking up some hamsters to tiny vests with electricity generating thread sewn into them, one of the little speedsters was able to generate 1/20 the power of a AA battery.

把一些倉鼠連上裝有發電線的迷你背心後，其中一隻小跑者產生的能量是 3 號電池的 1/20。

For comparison, a standard AA battery contains a little under 4Wh, or 0.004 kilowatt hours, or quite a bit less than what we would need to power a house.

比較一下，一顆標準的 3 號電池大約有 4 瓦特小時 (Wh)，也就是 0.004 度電，遠遠不足以點亮一間房子。

So unless you have a giant hoard of hamsters to power your house, and

所以除非你有一大堆倉鼠來發電，而且

I'm not judging here, you're probably going to need a different way to turn motion into power.

我不是在評判喔，你大概需要另一種方式來將動能轉化為電力。

Like, maybe we should be looking at you humans as a power source.

像是，也許我們可以把你們人類當成一個電力來源。

While I don't see a bunch of you in giant hamster wheels, and

雖然我沒看到你們一群人跑在巨大的倉鼠輪裡，而且

again, I'm not judging, I do see a bunch of y' all going on treadmills and stationary bikes.

再說一次，我沒有在評判，但我看到你們很多人在跑步機和健身車上運動。

為什麼不試著利用一些那樣的能量呢？

Again, it's a little difficult to pin down just how much energy you could really generate, but

再說一次，要精確估計你到底能產生多少能量有點難，但是

a lone cyclist could probably produce around 0.1 kilowatt hours if they hopped on a bike for an hour.

如果一個單車騎士騎一小時，大概可以產生 0.1 度電。

And let's be real, most people would cap out at around an hour.

說真的，大部分人大概一個小時就差不多了。

So one person could barely make a dent in the 30 kilowatt hour per day that you would need to produce.

所以一個人要產生你一天所需的 30 度電，根本是杯水車薪。

That said, theoretically, if you had an army of 300 cyclists, they would be able to generate enough power in an hour for your home to stay lit for for a day.

不過話說回來，理論上，如果你有 300 名騎士大軍，他們一小時產生的電力，就足夠你家亮一整天了。

Not really a sustainable way to lower your electricity bill when you factor in all the food that it would take to feed your spartan army.

但如果考慮到要餵飽你的斯巴達大軍所需的食物，這根本不是個能降低電費的永續方法。

And you're also gonna need to find 300 people.

I don't even know 300 people and I live in the Internet, but

我連 300 個人都不認識，我可是住在網路上耶，但是

I gotta say, it would be a funny experiment.

我必須說，這會是個很有趣的實驗。
