Unit 3　Inventors and inventions 单词注释 难句剖析 导读诱思 瑞典发明了一种颇具时尚感的自行车头盔,它能够有效地保护骑车人的安全,同时又不会破坏骑车人的发型。 It is the perfect invention for those people who are unwilling to wear a helmet while riding bikes.A Swedish design house has created a potentially life-saving airbag for cyclists.It not only keeps them safe,but also looks fashionable. The Hovding airbag collar1 has been designed to cover around the cyclist’s neck like a scarf.The Hovding will get an airbag in the form of a hood2 working if its sensors3 inside discover a potential head impact.The sensors are able to sense an over-the-handlebars accident and even if the rider simply falls off the bike sideways.It is designed for those cyclists who’d prefer not to wear a helmet,as it provides the safety aspects of a helmet without destroying their hairstyles. 单词注释 难句剖析 导读诱思 The designers of the Hovding,Terese Alstin and Anna Haupt,predict that the airbag collar will be a big hit when it goes on sale in Europe,priced at about $500.The pair worked together at Sweden’s University of Lund,completing a paper on helmet use,which made Sweden introduce a law for all children under the age of 15 to wear helmets. In 1991,Australia became the first country in the world to introduce mandatory4 helmet use for cyclists.However,a lot of people don’t like a bicycle helmet because of the way it looks.So despite the law,many people don’t want to wear helmets,and this is the same not just in Sweden,but also in many other countries. 单词注释 难句剖析 导读诱思 The Hovding airbag collar has been designed particularly for those who travel regularly to and from work,and more extreme cyclists should still wear regular helmets. 单词注释 难句剖析 导读诱思 1.collar /̍kɒlə(r)/ n.领子 2.hood /hʊd/ n.兜帽 3.sensor /̍sensə(r)/ n.传感器 4.mandatory /̍mændətəri/ adj.强制的 难句剖析 导读诱思 单词注释 It is the perfect invention for those people who are unwilling to wear a helmet while riding bikes. 译文:对于那些不愿戴头盔骑自行车的人来说,这是一个完美的发明。 剖析:这是一个复合句。主句是It is the perfect invention for those people;who are unwilli
