騎自行車也能除霾?

A new project hopes to use pedal power to help free China of smog.

一項新的計劃希望利用自行車幫助中國除霾。

The Smog Free Bicycle will absorb carbon and other particles from the atmosphere in major cities like Beijing.

該除霾自行車可吸收北京等主要城市空氣中的碳及其他微粒。

The plans are part of a wider project that includes towers which use the technology, with the pollutants they collect then turned into jewellery.

這些計劃是一個更廣泛的項目的一部分，該項目還包括能利用科技將收集的污染物製成珠寶的除霾塔。

Dutch artist and designer Daan Roosegaarde who kick-started the scheme has signed a deal with Chinese bike-sharing startup OFO to make the Smog Free Bicycle a reality.

荷蘭藝術家、設計師丹?羅斯加德啓動了該方案，且已與中國新興共享單車企業OFO簽署協議，旨在將除霾自行車變爲現實。

The innovative bike will feature a front facing module that inhales polluted air, cleans it, and then releases clean air around the cyclist.

該創新單車的特點是，車身有一個朝前的組件，可吸收並淨化污濁空氣，而後在騎車者周圍釋放潔淨的空氣。

It is hoped it will provide a healthy and energy friendly option for city dwellers, which will help to combat both traffic congestion and pollution.

人們希望除霾自行車會給城市居民提供一個健康節能的出行選擇，有助於緩解交通擁堵並減輕環境污染。

The partnership was announced at the World Economic Forum, held in Dalian in China.

在中國大連舉行的夏季達沃斯論壇上，共享單車公司OFO和羅斯加德宣佈建立合作關係。

The bikes are currently in the first stage of development, but further details will be released about its design and implementation in the autumn.

目前，除霾自行車計劃尚在研發初期，不過今年秋季將公佈更多關於其設計和實施的細節。

During the summit Mr Roosegaarde emphasised his vision for Schoonheid, a Dutch word meaning beauty and cleanliness.

論壇期間，羅斯加德強調了他的願景——“Schoonheid”，一個荷蘭單詞，意思是美麗和潔淨。

'True beauty is clean air and it should not be taken for granted', he said.

他說道，“真正的美麗是潔淨的空氣，且人們不應視之爲理所當然。”

'Beijing used to be an iconic bicycle city.

“北京曾是典型的自行車城市。”

'Together with Chinese and Dutch expertise we will bring back the bicycle as a cultural icon of China and as the next step towards smog free cities.'

“與中國和荷蘭的專家攜手一道，我們會讓自行車重新成爲中國的一個文化典範，繼而邁向無霾城市。”

Mr Roosegaarde also announced the next stages of development for his Smog Free Tower at the summit.

在峯會上，羅斯加德先生也公佈了除霾塔開發計劃的下一階段。

The towers provide parks with cleaner air than the rest of the city, acting like giant outdoor vacuum cleaners.

除霾塔爲公園提供比城市其他地方更爲潔淨的空氣，如同一個巨型的室外真空吸塵器。

The Project began life in 2007 and opened last Autumn in Beijing, drawing thousands of visitors.

除霾塔項目始於2007年，於2016年秋季在北京啓動，吸引了成千上萬的參觀者。

The smog which is harvested by the machine is compressed into cubes that are used to make quirky jewellery.

除霾塔收集的霧霾會被壓制成小方塊，這些方塊可用於製作獨特的珠寶。

Each cube is made from smog collected from 35,315 cubic feet (1,000 cubic metres) of poor quality air.

每個方塊都由從35315立方英尺（1000立方米）的污濁空氣中收集的霧霾製成。

The effect of the Smog Free Tower has been validated by the results compiled by the Eindhoven University of Technology.

埃因霍溫理工大學收集彙編的結果已證實了除霾塔的效果。

Studio Roosegaarde is now planning to open a Smog Free Tower in India later this year.

羅斯加德設計工作室正計劃今年下半年在印度安裝除霾塔。

Versions are also expected in Columbia and Mexico in the near future.

不久的將來，哥倫比亞和墨西哥也有望安裝其他形式的除霾塔。

The technology could become integrated into numerous elements of the urban environment, from buildings to public transport.

該除霾技術可以同城市環境中的許多元素融爲一體，小到建築物，大到公共交通系統。
