Diapers and Kindles delivered to your doorstep not by truck, not by plane or train — but by drone?
你能想象一架無(wú)人機(jī)，而不是卡車、飛機(jī)或火車，將你訂購(gòu)的尿布、電子閱讀器送到你家門口嗎？

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos says that this reality may be just four or five years away.
亞馬遜網(wǎng)站首席執(zhí)行官杰夫·貝索斯稱，這一遠(yuǎn)景有望在四、五年內(nèi)成為現(xiàn)實(shí)。

In a interview with Charlie Rose on CBS’s “60 Minutes” Bezos showed off Amazon-branded drones that he says can travel 10 miles and carry packages weighing up to five pounds to doorsteps in less than 30 minutes.
杰夫·貝索斯日前做客CBS電視臺(tái)的《60分鐘》新聞節(jié)目，在與主持人查理·羅斯的交談中，杰夫展示了亞馬遜研發(fā)的無(wú)人機(jī)。他稱這臺(tái)無(wú)人機(jī)可以在30分鐘之內(nèi)行駛10英里距離，將5磅重以下的包裹送貨上門。

“These are octocopters,” Bezos said in the interview. “These are effectively drones, but there’s no reason these can’t be used as delivery vehicles.”
“這是一種八翼無(wú)人機(jī)，”貝索斯在采訪中說，“它們是非常有效率的無(wú)人機(jī)，沒有什么理由它們不能用來(lái)送貨?！?/div>

You won’t be seeing them anytime soon — the FAA has yet to release rules about how unmanned flying vehicles may be used — but Bezos said he thinks Amazon could start offering a “Prime Air” service within four or five years.
這種無(wú)人機(jī)目前還不會(huì)被廣泛應(yīng)用，還有待聯(lián)邦航空局對(duì)無(wú)人駕駛飛行器的行為規(guī)范做出相關(guān)規(guī)定。但是貝索斯稱，四、五年內(nèi)亞馬遜就應(yīng)該可以開始提供這種“Prime Air”服務(wù)。

“It will work, and it will happen,” Bezos said. The truth is that the FAA will ultimately decide that.
貝索斯說，“這種運(yùn)輸方式不僅行之有效的，而且具備現(xiàn)實(shí)的條件。” 此言是否屬實(shí)，最終還得須由聯(lián)邦航空局來(lái)決定。
