Part 4 May 28, 2021, 11:09 a.m.

Look, I can demonstrate it.
对着它，大家能看见
Fire on there, you can actually
完美虐杀木制桌面。噢！
see it burning the table nicely. Oh!
这是两块货真价实的皮萨饼，以及货真价实的哈蒙德
This is a real, well, two layers of pizza, and a real Richard Hammond.
准备见证奇迹了吗？
Everybody ready?
是的！
Yes!
想得美
Wouldn't do it to him.
好吧，骗你们的！
Oh, yes, I would!
噢，不！
Oh, no!
杰瑞米，是不是停留的太久了？还不够
Jeremy, that's quite a long time,isn't it? Not really.
停下来！我能闻见香肠燃烧的味道
Stop it!I can smell burning sausage.
这是预兆吗？
Is that alarming?
瞧？批萨
Can you see? Pizza.
把它们贴车上吧。不！
Pop it on your car. No!
女士们先生们，完好无损的哈蒙德
Ladies and gentlemen,Hammond is still here.
愚蠢，愚蠢
Stupid, stupid.
这是...
That is...
这是TopGear热辣小贴士
I think that is a Top Gear hot tip.
继续下个话题
We're going to move on.
在很久很久以前，詹姆士43岁时
Because, you see, in the olden days,when James was 43,
汽车商会像今天一样卖♥♥你辆整车
car makers would sell you a complete car like they do now.
又或者卖♥♥你这种
Or they would sell you something like this
引擎，底盘，悬挂组成的半成品
an engine, a chassis,and some suspension.
之后你再把它送到改装公♥司♥
And then you would take this to a coach building company
定制个性化车身，内饰
who would then fit a personalised body, personalised interior,
以及任何你喜欢的部分
you could have anything you wanted.
也就是说，30年代那会
And in the '30s,
充满了各种精美的汽车杰作
this meant there were some truly amazing creations.
回到过去，世界遍布车辆定制公♥司♥
Back then, there were coach building companies all over the world,
他们为有钱人实现无数梦想
helping the wealthy to fulfil their wildest dreams.
只有想不到，没有做不到
Anything was possible,and everything was done.
私人定制意味着克拉克·盖博不会开着
（美国男星，《乱世佳人》主演，
99年获百年最伟大男演员第7名）
Coach building meant that Clark Gable didn't have to have
这种德性的俗车
a car that looked like this.
而是开上这种漂亮货
It meant he could have one that looked like this.
如今，汽车各种各样
Today, though,cars are built differently.
底盘和车身不是分离的
You don't get a chassis with a body on the top.
多数采用承载式车身
Because the body sort of is the chassis.
车柱，车顶，门框
The pillars, the roof,the doorframes,
都是负载件，所以更换任何部分都是大手术
they're all load-bearing,so changing anything is a nightmare.
这也是为什么这么多年来
And this has meant that for many years,
私人定制汽车早已被人遗忘
coach building has been a lost art.
但今天，我很高兴的宣布...
Now, though, I'm delighted to say...
它又回来了
it's back.
女士们先生们，欢迎阿尔法·罗密欧Disco Volante闪亮登场
Welcome, everyone,to the Alfa Romeo Disco Volante.
这是我期盼多年的
One of the most striking,intelligent,
一件汽车杰作
and unusual cars I've seen in a very long time.
脱胎于阿尔法·罗密欧8C
It started out in life as an Alfa Romeo 8C.
但车身和内装由一家叫做“Touring”的
But was totally re-bodied and re-upholstered
米兰老字号♥定制公♥司♥完成
by an old coach building company in Milan called Touring.
50年代，他们设计制♥造♥阿尔法运动车型
In the '50s, they styled and built sports cars for Alfa Romeo.
之后，他们设计了阿斯顿马丁DB5和DB6
Later, they designed the Aston Martin DB5 and DB6.
以及詹森截击机
Along with the Jensen Interceptor,
还有兰博基尼第一款车
and the very first Lamborghini
350GT
the 350GT.
这是份漫长的履历
That is quite a CV.
近些年，他们沦为一家改装
In recent years, however,they've been reduced to making
庸俗宾利和玛莎拉蒂的公♥司♥
mildly modified Bentleys and Maseratis.
这就像看着朱迪·丹奇
（英国女星，007系列M夫人扮演者）
It's been like watching Dame Judi Dench
沦为哑剧演员
reduced to appearing in a regional pantomime.
但如今，他们决定
But now, they've decided to bring
在Disco Volante身上
the lost art of proper coach building back,
重拾失落的艺术
with the Disco Volante.
当然主体结构和安♥全♥部♥分不会改变
Certain structural and safety related things can't be changed.
安全带位置，挡风玻璃
The seatbelt mounting points,the windscreen,
悬架设计
the suspension mounting points,
这些和8C一样
they'll be the same on this car as they are on this one.
就像做整形手术
It's like plastic surgery.
骨头不能整，但皮肉能整
You can't change the skeleton,but you can change the flesh.
这就是他们做的事
And that is what they've done.
但结果如何呢？
But has it worked?
简单的回答，是的
The simple answer is, yes.
没有震动，没有异响
It doesn't shake, it doesn't rattle.
这整容手术很成功
It doesn't feel like botched plastic surgery.
过沟沟坎坎时你不用大叫
You don't think every time you go over a bump,
“噢，不，我鼻子掉下来了”
"Oh no,my nose is going to fall off."
绝不像迈克尔·杰克逊
Doesn't feel like Michael Jackson.
猜它感觉如何？感觉...
Do you know what it does feel?It feels...
很扎实
solid.
感觉就像，我将说的话是对手工车的最高赞美，它感觉像...
It feels, and this is high praise for a hand-built car, it feels...
量产车
mass-produced.
换言之，它和原型车毫无相似
That said, it does not feel like the car that spawned it.
与8C完全不一样
It doesn't feel like an 8C.
悬挂调校的更柔软
That's because they've softened the suspension,
不再是以前僵硬死板的感觉
they've turned it from a stiff, B-road barnstormer
更舒适，我喜欢
into a comfortable cruising machine,and I like that.
如今大多数车的设计目的是征服
There are loads of cars built specifically to attack
这样的道路
a road like this.
而像这种让人享受旅途的车
So it's quite refreshing to find one
却不多
that allows you to savour it.
享受风景，享受时光
Savour the views, savour the moment.
所以，它不像8C
So, it doesn't feel like an 8C.
声浪也不一样
And it certainly doesn't sound like one either.
噢，这是...
Oh, it's the most...
..我开过声浪最让人着迷的车
..soulful-sounding car I think I've ever heard.
整个排气系统就像是
It's as though the entire exhaust system
奥蒂斯·雷丁一样（美国灵魂乐歌♥手）
is actually made out of Otis Redding.
#离开乔治亚的家...#
# Left my home in Georgia... #
#向旧金山港出发...#
（奥蒂斯·雷丁歌♥曲，独坐在码头上）
# Heading for the Frisco Bay... #
它就是奥蒂斯！
It's Otis!
别误解
Don't get me wrong, though.
这不是辆慢车
This is not a slow car.
它有台444马力4.7升玛莎拉蒂V8引擎
It has a 444 horsepower 4.7 litre Maserati V8.
配上超轻的碳纤维铝制车身
Couple that to a super-light carbon fibre and aluminium body,
加速感就像从悬崖坠落一样
and you end up with a car that accelerates like it's fallen off a cliff.
极速181英里（291公里）
The top speed is 181.
但是，驾驶这样一辆精致、华丽
Thing is, though, driving a car this exquisite, this elegant,
迅猛的车，感觉很怪异
quickly, feels wrong.
就像穿着盛装参加体育比赛
It would be like pogo dancing to I Heard It Through The Grapevine.
不不不，你不能这么干！
No, no, no, you can't do that!
现在这速度，才最适合它。半速巡航
This, this kind of speed, this is where it's at its best. Half speed.
我甚至没有提速的冲动
I don't even feel inclined to drive it fast.
我不想在弯里甩尾
I don't want to hang the tail out on the hairpins.
切入自动档，手♥机♥接上音响，像这样
Just want to put it in auto, put some tunes on the stereo, like so.
戴上墨镜...
Pop on a pair of sunglasses...
放慢心情
and slow on down.
很快，你就想停下来坐在一旁
And pretty soon, you'll want to stop altogether and get out.
因为欣赏这车
Because looking at this car,
也是种享受
that's really what it's all about.
有意思，从它身上我能看见许多其它元素
It's interesting how many elements from other things are in that shape.
有点像克尔维特，又有点像捷豹E型...
I can see a little bit of Corvette,a bit of E-Type...
还有点像...发现者号♥
Then there's the, um... I think it was called the Discovery,
电影《2001太空漫游》里的那艘飞船
the spaceship in 2001:A Space Odyssey.
前脸神似
I see that at the front.
我喜欢它红色漆面下的金色底漆
And I love the way they paint it gold
让这车看起来非常华贵
before they paint it red to make the colour richer.
还有就是"Disco Volante"
Then there's the name - "Disco Volante"
椅背上的名字
picked out in the seats.
意大利语意思是飞碟
I know, in Italian, Disco Volante means "flying saucer"
但对我而言，它就像007电影《雷霆万钧》
