巅峰拍档（2002）

Top Gear S20E02

Part 4 May 28, 2021, 12:14 p.m.

所以简直是特♥价♥ 而且它有903匹马力 903匹!
so it's almost a bargain. And it's
got a 903 horsepower engine. 903.
让我觉得最不可思议的是
What fascinates me is,
它后面可以有个可升降的尾翼
there's a wing that comes out
of the back of it
尾翼上带DRS系统
which has got DRS on it.
众所周知 DRS系统 F1里用的可变下压力系统
You know what DRS is, with the...
In Formula One, it opens.
如果你有903匹马力你什么时候会想到
If you've got 903 horsepower,
when would you ever think,
"好我要更快的直线速度
"Right, I need more straight-line
speed.
"我要开启DRS系统"?
"I'll deploy the DRS wing"?
好吧这还是可能会发生的
Well, it could happen.
"那辆快递货车开得真快看来我得开启DRS了"
"That post office van is getting
a shift on. I'll deploy DRS."
不不不不你需要这个你的DRS
No, you will need that, your DRS,
特别当你碰到在法拉利-法拉利里的我的时候
when you come across me
in the Ferrari the Ferrari,
因为我刚刚没有说清楚
because, I hadn't read this
properly,
它确实有800匹马力但是
it has got 800 horsepower
in the engine, but of course,
他有KERS系统
it's got a KERS system.
当你启用KERS系统用电机一起发力时
When you deploy it
and use the electric bit as well,
嗯哼就变成963匹了
ahem, 963 horsepower.
而且所有这些动力都只传递到后轮?
-是的没错
And is that all going through
the rear wheels? Yes, it is.
等下这马力数据
Hang on, that's broadly
the same amount of power
和布加迪威龙已经不相上下了
you get from a Bugatti,
但威龙车身要比法拉利-法拉利重了一倍
which is almost exactly
twice as heavy
而且还有四驱系统
as the Ferrari the Ferrari,
and it has four-wheel-drive.
这货才叫神作
-没错
That's going to be "an handful".
Yes.
让人激动啊我真想去体验一下
-我很想开开这迈凯轮
Exciting, though. I want a go in it.
I really want to go in the McLaren.
这会是个很壮观的测试
That would be an epic test.
你开着那辆法拉利你迈凯轮我开着Zonda
You in that Ferrari, you in
the McLaren, me in that Zonda.
有人愿意看这个吗?
Anybody want to see that?
观众: 愿意!
AUDIENCE: Yeah!
我也想我们努力一下看看这事能不能成真
So do I. Let's see
if we can put that together.
但你也知道人们通常找到我们然后说
But you know how people often come
up to us and say,
"Top Gear什么时候才会完结"
"When will Top Gear end?"
我们开着这些车起步后大概三分钟
About three minutes after us three
have set off.
恩在一个大火球里结束
Yeah, in a big fireball.
有人愿意看这个吗?
Does anybody want to see THAT?
观众: 愿意!
AUDIENCE: Yes!
好吧我们继续我们这个节目已经播了11年了
Right, let's move on, because it is
now 11 years we've been on air,
但我们惊奇的发现
and in all that time,
从一开始我们就从没测评过这一辆车
there is one vehicle that we have
never reviewed, which is a surprise,
它是最受欢迎的车
because it's the most popular,
最重要的车也是世界上使用最频繁的车
important and used vehicle
in the world.
我说的当然是出租车
I'm talking, of course,
about the taxi,
不管你到哪出租车可谓人类运转的源泉
the lifeblood of people movement
wherever you go in the world.
英国对此的贡献无需多言
And Britain's contribution to
this effort needs no introduction.
它是任何伦敦街景中的标志
It's a staple
of any London street scene.
现在大约有1万9千辆黑色出租车
There are currently
around 19,000 black cabs
在伦敦街头接送着人们
moving people across the capital,
这一大群的出租车每年行驶大约5亿英里的路程
and this vast fleet covers
almost half a billion miles a year.
那边还有一辆他们真的是无处不在
There's another.
They are literally everywhere.
因为伦敦特殊的生活节奏
London life has caused the black cab
黑色出租车进化成了让人惊叹的高效运载工具
to evolve into
an amazingly efficient vehicle.
比方说它著名的极小的转弯半径
Its famous tiny turning circle,
for example,
就是专为萨沃伊酒店门口的小环岛而设计的
(Savoy 伦敦最著名豪华酒店之一)
is the result of the need to tackle
the roundabout outside the Savoy.
还有就是出租车司机
Then there's the black cab driver.
世上没有其他的出租车司机需要像他们一样
No cabbie in the world
has to go through
通过名为"知识"的恐怖试炼
an ordeal as fearsome
as The Knowledge,
所有的伦敦出租车司机都要认得2万5千条路
which requires that all London
taxi drivers memorise 25,000 streets.
这个测试非常严格事实上
The test is so tough, in fact,
所有的伦敦出租车司机都进化出了非常肥大的海马回突
that cabbies develop an extra large
hippocampus,
这是大脑中负责记忆导航
which is the area of the brain
associated with memory, navigation
和对移♥民♥观点的部分
and views on immigration.
人车结合
Put this combination of man
and machine together,
结果那当然是毋庸置疑
and what you have is indisputable.
毫无疑问无比明显无可非议的
What you have is, without doubt,
obviously, unquestionably,
世上最好的出租车
no arguments,
the best taxi in the world.
真是这样吗？
Or is it?
纽约的出租车司机
The thing is, a New York taxi driver
对此说法很可能会不同意吧
would probably disagree
with that statement.
他会说"是啊你们车的后排空间确实更大
He'd say "Yeah, you may have
more space in the back,
"但是你们伦敦出租车又慢又不舒服
"but your London taxi is slow
and the ride is terrible,
"我的黄色出租车有个大大的V8发动机还有更好的悬挂"
"whereas my yellow taxi has
a big V8 and proper suspension."
但德里的出租车司机会说
But then a cabbie in Delhi would
say,
"我的印度出租车更经久耐用"
"My Indian taxi is built
to last longer".
总体上来说世界上任何地方的出租车司机
Basically, every cabbie
everywhere in the world
都会抓住一个理由说自己的出租车是世上最棒的
could argue for one reason or another
that their taxi is the best.
也就是说如果他们真想知道
Which means, if we really want
to find out
哪个是世界上最棒的出租车
which is the greatest taxi
in the world,
只有一个方法才能评判
there is only one way to do it,
这就一如往常要做到真金不怕火炼
and that is, as ever,
in the prism of the furnace
只有通过赛车的历练
through the looking glass
of the crucible of motorsport.
这就是我们全球大决战的地点
That means a race, and the venue
for our global showdown
是肯特郡的林登山
will be Lydden Hill in Kent,
在世界赛车界以唯一拥有自己的出租车办公室
famous throughout the motorsport
world
而久负盛名
for being the only race track
with its own cab office.
这个胶板搭的出租车办公室看上去离赛道也太近了点
That plywood cab office looks
perilously close to the track.
我真心希望它不会受到啥伤害
I sincerely hope no harm befalls it.
不管怎样
来看看我们这次出租车全球大决战的参赛车辆吧
Anyway, let's now meet our grid
of taxis from around the world.
代表大不列颠帝国我们有1997年的Fairway
Representing Great Britain,
we have a 1997 Fairway driver which,
里程表上只有32万英里新得像还没出磨合期一样
with a mere 320,000 miles
on the clock, is barely run in.
代表墨西哥 1970年大众甲壳虫
From Mexico,
a 1970 Volkswagen Beetle.
单单在墨西哥城就有5万辆这样的车在努力营生
50,000 of these things ply
their trade in Mexico City alone.
代表美国出租车世界中的泰坦
From America,
one of the titans of the taxi world,
纽约黄色出租车
a New York yellow cab.
福特皇冠维多利亚后轮驱动
This particular one is a Ford Crown
Victoria, rear-wheel drive,
4.6升V8 想当年开到130英里时速完全没问题
4.6 litre V8
and in its day, good for 130.
这是我们需要担心的对手
That's one to worry about.
