2025年英语专业四级听力真题 长对话2

W: Hello, Mark, You mentioned that you actually studied automotive engineering?

女：你好Mark，你提到自己学过汽车工程？

M: Yeah, that's correct.

男：是的。

W: Okay. Can you explain what automotive engineering is?

女：能解释下这个专业吗？

M: Uh, it's basically car design and technology, like the engine,the performance,the aerodynamics.

男：主要是汽车设计与技术，涵盖发动机、性能、空气动力学等领域。

So it's basically an overview of all kinds of car aspects for the future.

相当于对未来汽车各方面发展的综合研究。

W: Cool. So you must know a lot about the cars of the future and stuff. I mean, how do you see cars in, let's say,20 years,30 years, 40 years?

女：真酷！那你一定很了解未来汽车。比如说20年、30年后汽车会怎样发展？

M: Well,in the near future,I think the big developments will be alternative fuels.

男：短期内重大突破会在替代燃料领域。

you know, We're going to eventually run out of natural resources.So I think the developments will be toward electric or hybrid cars.

毕竟自然资源终将枯竭，所以电动汽车或混合动力是方向。

W: Right.

女：嗯。

M: Maybe even using fuel cells such as hydrogen.

男：甚至可能使用氢燃料电池。

W: Well, like how many years away do you think this?

女：你认为这需要多少年实现？

M : Major car manufacturers have already started producing electric cars and were nowseeing people diving electric cars on the road.

主要汽车制造商已经开始生产电动汽车，现在我们也看到路上有人驾驶电动汽车。

But it would perhaps be some years away before we see everyone using them, I guess.

但我想，可能还需要几年时间才能看到所有人都使用它们。

W: Right. Now I once met a student who was an engineer and he was saying that they already haves that can drive without people -- autonomous, self-driving cars.

女：对了，我遇到过一个工科生，他说已有无人驾驶技术。

Like you can just say your location and it'll go there. Have you heard about that?

只要说出地点就能自动抵达。你听说过吗？

M: I've seen the technology from a few companies as well. The problem with this technology, um, it's brilliant. It's amazing what it can do, but people's attitude is the problem. People like the sense of freedom from having a car.

男：见过几家公司的技术。问题在于——技术本身很惊艳，但人们的态度是障碍。汽车承载着自由感。

W: right

女：确实。

M: And if your car is driving you, then you lose that It's like being on a train of something, so you lose that individual sense of freedom,

男：如果让车自动驾驶，就像坐火车一样，会丧失个人自由感。

W: Wow. That's right. That's a good point.

女：哇，这个观点很棒。

M: And then,there's the infrastructure

男：此外还有基础设施问题...

W: Oh, so you think that basically it'll never take off,that people will always want to drive their own cars

女：所以你认为人们永远不会接受？永远想自己开车？

M: Possibly. Although maybe they could develop a system where in the inner cities, the system is used basically to help because traffic flow and congestion is a problem

男：有可能。不过或许可以建立城区系统：在拥堵的市中心用自动驾驶疏导交通。

W: Right

女：有道理。

M: So maybe within the cities, the system could be used, but outside the city, people would always want their freedom in the country roads, the thrill of driving the excitement,you know,that sort of thing

男：城外乡村道路人们肯定想要驾驶的快感和刺激。

W: Right. Now, when you watch movies. you often see cars that can fly, or cars that can go underwater, like in some movies. Do you see that? Maybe in the future?

女：说到这个，电影里常有飞车或潜水车。未来可能实现吗？

M: Underwater, I think, would be a bit pointless and very difficult to achieve the engineering. it's possible now. But the engineering is just ridiculously high-tech. But I don’t know about the flying cars. Maybe in hundreds of years, but certainly not in my lifetime. No.

男：潜水车工程难度过高且不实用。飞车或许几百年后出现，反正我这辈子见不到。

W: Alright. Thanks a lot, Mark

女：明白了，谢谢Mark！

M: Pleasure

男：不客气。
