Hey students! Do you know what's cool? Flying cars! They can drive on roads like regular cars. But they have wings that let them fly in the air, too!
飛天汽車很酷吧！這台車在陸地跟一般的車子一樣，但它也有翅膀，可以讓它飛起來！
Today, I want to talk about a company called Samson. Samson wants to make a flying car called the Switchblade. When the car flies, the wings swing out from under the car. They fold back when it is on the road, so the wings are hidden.
有一家叫做Samson的公司做了一台叫飛天車，名字叫做「彈簧刀」。它的翅膀可以折疊收起來。
The Switchblade has just three wheels, not four. But it can go really fast, like a sports car. On land, it can travel 200 kilometers an hour. In the air, it can go even faster… 305 kilometers an hour!
他只有三個輪子，但是可以跟跑車一樣快！在陸地上可以跑到時速200公里，飛起來可以達到時速305公里。
The Switchblade also comes with a parachute. If the motor stops in the air, the parachute will come out. Then the car can just float down to the ground.
這一台車還有降落傘，如果車子突然壞了也可以安全降落。
It would be great to have a flying car! I would no longer get stuck in traffic jams.
有了飛天車，我就不會塞到車了！
But it would be expensive, more than $4 million NT!
但是它要四百萬台幣，好貴！
I don't think I can pay for that. I guess I'll just have to keep taking the MRT.
