Forrest North: The beginning of any collaboration starts with a conversation. And I would like to share with you some of the bits of the conversation that we started with. I grew up in a log cabin in Washington state with too much time on my hands.
Forrest North:任何合作的开始 都起源于一段交谈 而我非常愿意和你们一同分享 我们刚开始时的一些谈话 我是在华盛顿州的一个小木屋里长大的 拥有相当多的空闲时间
Yves Behar: And in scenic Switzerland for me.

FN: I always had a passion for alternative vehicles. This is a land yacht racing across the desert in Nevada.

YB: Combination of windsurfing and skiing into this invention there.
YB:那结合了风帆和滑雪的技术
FN: And I also had an interest in dangerous inventions. This is a 100,000-volt Tesla coil that I built in my bedroom, much to the dismay of my mother.
FN:另外我还有一项非常危险的发明 这是一个十万伏特的泰斯拉变压器 是我在自己的卧室里搞出来的 对此,我老妈非常恼火
YB: To the dismay of my mother, this is dangerous teenage fashion right there. (Laughter)

FN:我对清洁能源的热情终于落到了现实 我曾经开着一辆太阳能车横穿了澳大利亚 还有美国和日本
YB: So, wind power, solar power -- we had a lot to talk about. We had a lot that got us excited. So we decided to do a special project together. To combine engineering and design and ...
YB:风能,太阳能,我们谈论了很多话题 太多让我们兴奋不已的话题 于是,我们决定一起做一个独具一格的项目 把工程学、设计学等都结合起来
FN: Really make a fully integrated product, something beautiful.

YB: And we made a baby. (Laughter)
YB:然后就有了这个宝贝 (笑声)
FN: Can you bring out our baby? (Applause) This baby is fully electric. It goes 150 miles an hour. It's twice the range of any electric motorcycle. Really the exciting thing about a motorcycle is just the beautiful integration of engineering and design. It's got an amazing user experience. It was wonderful working with Yves Behar. He came up with our name and logo. We're Mission Motors. And we've only got three minutes, but we could talk about it for hours.
FN:现在能请出我们的宝贝吗? (掌声) 这位美女是全自动的 每小时能达到150英里的速度 是其他普通电动摩托车速度的两倍 对于电动摩托车来说这确实是一个令人振奋的事情 正是工业设计的完美结合 它有令人惊奇的用户体验 跟Yves Behar合作真是太棒了 他想出来了我们的名字和logo,我们是Mission Motors(该品牌名) 尽管我们只有3分钟的时间 但是我们能够谈论它好几个小时
