大世界之旅（2016）

然后,在我弄坏了手刹之后
[Jeremy] And then, after I'd ruined the handbrake...
我们进入了某种拉力赛环节
We joined a sort of rally track.
我们在此证明了,一辆车抵达目的地和完成任务的能力
What we're proving here, I think, is that a car's ability to get places
完全取决于
and do things is governed entirely
司机到底有多么不在乎它
by the driver's willingness not to care about it.
请不要被这些噪音吓到
Please don't be alarmed by those noises.
它们并不意味着任何问题
They don't really mean anything.
这只是一个典型的法国人在非洲拉力赛上
This is only what a typical French person would do
开着自己妈妈的雷诺4
on a rally in Africa
会做的事情
in their mum's Renault 4.
让我们不要忘记
[James] It was, let us not forget,
发明耐力拉力赛的是法国人
the French who invented endurance rallies.
比如巴黎-北♥京♥拉力赛
Such as the Paris-Peking.
巴黎-达喀尔拉力赛
the Paris-Dakar,
以及所有其他横跨非洲的车赛
and all the other Trans-Africa races.
而且,最重要的是
And, most importantly,
他们通常会随便开一辆停在路边的车
they usually used what was parked in the drive.
嗯,这颠簸得足以赶走你的“高卢人”
Well, this is bumpy enough to dislodge your "Gaulois."
该死
Merde.
谢谢
Merci.
再见,先生.
Au revoir, monsieur.
谢谢你,先生
Merci, monsieur!
目前来说都是小菜一碟
Well, this is une pièce de gâteau so far.
噢，前面有...
Oh, that's a...
梅先生！
Monsieur May!
继续
Go on.
老天 该死
Oh, dear. Oh, merde.
您好,先生
Bonjour, monsieur.
随着我们离山顶越来越近
[James] As we got closer to the summit,
前进就变得更加艰难
the going got even tougher.
现在这里稍微有些不便
[Jeremy] Now this is an inconvenience.
挡风玻璃
The windscreen.
好的,这边走
[Richard] Right, this way.
不,我的洗碗机
Oh, no, my dishwasher.
你好
Hello.
我的家用车也可以从这里下去一点问题都没有
My family car can go down here no problem at all.
我不明白…我为什么会需要G级越野车？
I don't see... Why do I need a G-Wagon?
该死
Merde.
继续前进！
Allez!
老天！妈的！这该死的！
[James] Jesus! Fuck! Bloody hellfire!
我失去了电动调节的
[Jeremy over mic] I've lost the electrically-powered
左侧后视镜
door mirror on the left-hand side,
但是手动的还在那里
but the manual one is still there.
我不能打开窗户调整我这一侧的后视镜
[Richard] I can't open the window to adjust my mirror,
但没关系因为它已经没了
but that's okay because it's gone.
最终 随着壮丽的威尔士山丘
[Jeremy] Eventually, with the glorious Welsh hills
沐浴在温暖的午后阳光下
bathed in warm afternoon light,
我们到达了悠闲自驾的终点
we reached the end of our leisurely drive.
哈蒙德
Hammond.
哇.看看那边的景色. -那是…
Wow. Look at the view over there. -That is... -
真是太特别了 -看那个...那里甚至有一所房♥子
[Richard] That is just something else. -Look... It's even got a house
就像是为模型铁路设计的一样
like it's been designed for a train set.
简直完美 -美妙绝伦
It's just perfect. -Absolutely gorgeous.
哦 你好
[James] Oh, hello.
你好,先生 -看看那边
Bonjour, monsieur. -[Richard] I mean, look at that.
难以置信 不是吗？
[Jeremy] Unbelievable, isn't it?
我告诉你们一件趣事…
And I tell you what's interesting.
工作人员们,开着那些四轮驱动车,他们上来了
The crew, using all those four-by-fours, they've made it.
是的. -但我们也做到了
Yeah. -But, so have we.
的确如此 -是的
Exactly. -Yeah.
稍微受了一些损伤
[Jeremy] Some damage was done.
那只是小磨损 -这是沧桑的痕迹
[Richard] Wear and tear. -[James] It's patina.
这记录了发生过的事情.法国人可能是对的
It's what happens. The French might be right.
我觉得他们是对的
[James] I think they are.
我突然想起一件事 -什么？
[Jeremy] I just had a thought. -What?
你的洗碗机
Your dishwasher.
天啊.因为哈蒙德开车撞到了我
Oh, God. Because Hammond drove into me.
我很抱歉
[Richard] I'm sorry about that.
你的后备箱开关在哪？
[Jeremy] Where's your boot release?
在门上吗？ -是的
Is it in the door? -Yes.
好吧 -那是设计缺陷
Right. -[Richard] That's a design flaw.
第二天 我们开着自己的车出发
[Jeremy] The next day, we set off in our own cars
去往下一个目的地
to the next destination.
在路上,我们开始意识到它们的怪异之处
And on the way, we began to realize their strangeness
实际上让它们更可爱了
was actually making them more endearing.
显然，你不需要两个挡风玻璃雨刷，只需要一个
Obviously, you don't need two windscreen wipers, just the one.
你把玻璃水直接放进雨刷里
And you put the washer in the wiper blade itself,
为什么不这样做呢？
because why would you not do that?
这与众不同.很有意思
It's different. It's interesting.
然后是两侧的后视镜
Then there's the door mirrors.
很好看很有未来感
So good and so futuristic-looking,
甚至被用于阿斯顿马丁Vantage系列
that they were used on the Aston Martin Vantage,
文丘里大西洋,雷诺运动蜘蛛
the Venturi Atlantique, the Renault Sport Spider,
莲花精灵
the Lotus Esprit,
捷豹XJ-220和大多数特威尔
the Jaguar XJ-220 and most TVRs.
一方面,这个方向盘是典型的法式方向盘
On the one hand, this steering wheel is typically French.
有点奇怪 它只有一根辐条
It's weird. It's got one spoke
它有点深盘设计还是平底
and it's sort of deep-dish and a flat bottom.
另一方面
On the other hand,
感觉棒极了.是完美的尺寸、厚度和直径
it's brilliant. It's the perfect size, perfect thickness, perfect diameter,
我可以看到仪表因为没有辐条遮挡
and I can see the dials 'cause there isn't a spoke in the way.
我想说,在很多层面上,怪异使它们更讨人喜欢
[James] I mean, in many ways, the weirdness makes them more likeable.
我们眼中的离经叛道其实是创新
What we see as bloody-mindedness is actually innovation,
因为法国人一直是汽车的先驱
because the French have been pioneers in motoring.
不会是我们
It wasn't gonna be us.
我们当时还在生产莫里斯玛丽娜
We were making the Morris Marina.
不要以为奇怪的只有车子
[Jeremy] And don't think it's just the cars that are odd.
他们的一些道路规则也很奇怪
Some of their rules of the road are quite strange as well.
例如,与其他人不同,法国人相信
For example, the French believed, unlike everyone else,
使用白色的大灯是错的
that white headlights were wrong
它们应该是黄色的
and that they should be yellow.
如果你喜欢开车听音乐
And if you like driving along to music,
有一条规则规定法国电台播放的流行歌♥曲中
there's a rule which says that 35 percent of pop songs
必须有百分之三十五
played on French radio
是法语歌♥曲
must be French.
这首歌♥是本来就这样的
Is that how it's supposed to be
还是说又有一块巧克力面包的碎屑
or has un morceau de pain au chocolat tombéed
掉进我的立体声音响里了？
into my stereo again?
看吧,这就是来自德彪西和梅西安诞生的国家
There you go, that was from the country that gave you Debussy and Messiaen.
我最喜欢的法国事物之一就是他们对待路标的懒散态度
One of my favorite French things is their slovenly attitude
看,以这个为例
to road signs. I mean, take this one as an example.
你在整个法国都能看到类似这样的路标
You see this all over France.
上面写的是市政厅是那个方向
What it says is that the town hall is that way
而其他的一切“在那边”
and everything else, "Toutes Directions,"
其他的一切都在那里 印度、巴黎
everything else is over there. India, Paris,
堪察加半岛
Kamchatka Peninsula,
无论你想要什么,都在另一边,走开吧
whatever it is you want, just there, go away.
然后是如何使用环岛的问题
[Jeremy] And then there's the issue of how to use a roundabout.
在世界其他任何地方
[Richard] Everywhere else in the world,
都认为汽车应该让路给那些已经在环岛内的车
countries decided that cars should give way to those already on it.
但法国人不这么想
But not the French.
他们决定反过来操作
They decided to do it the other way round.
因此,环岛内的汽车会停下给需要进入环岛的车让路
So, cars on the roundabout would stop for those wanting to get on.
像这样
Like this.
继续
Carry on.
走啊
Carry on.
为什么他们会认为这是正确的做法？
Why would they think this was the right way to do it?
环岛的意义就是避免这种情况
The point of a roundabout is to avoid this.
你知道吗全世界有一半的环岛路口在法国？
Did you know that half the world's roundabouts are in France?
真的是这样吗？
[James on radio] Is that really true?
