Elevators are automobiles. 汽车就是自己会移动，对吧？那电梯也会自己动。 And theyre not very emotional; they solve a purpose; 它们都没有情感，它们用作某种用途 and certainly automobiles have been around for 100 years 当然汽车已经有100年左右的历史了 and have made our lives functionally a lot better in many ways; 而且在很多方面让我们的生活更好。 theyve also been a real pain in the ass, 它们也一直带来问题 because automobiles are really the thing we have to solve. 因为汽车是我们必须要解决的东西 We have to solve the pollution, we have to solve the congestion -- 我们得解决污染的问题，解决交通阻塞的问题 but thats not what interests me in this speech. 但那不是我这次想说的 What interests me in this speech is cars. Automobiles may be what you use, 我这次想说的是车子。汽车可能是你们所使用的， but cars are what we are, in many ways. 但是汽车在很多方面就是我们自己 And as long as we can solve the problems of automobiles, 只要我们能解
