青岛希尼尔翻译公司（www.sinosenior.com）2016年8月12日了解到：Last
week, a futuristic traffic-straddling bus, raised over the road so cars
can drive underneath, was road-tested in China. There was great
excitement about this possible solution to traffic woes, but questions
are now being asked about whether the project is feasible or even real.
上周，一辆未来主义的空中巴士在中国进行了路面实验，这辆巨大巴士的下部镂空，汽车可从中穿行而过。这套有望解决交通拥堵的方案一度引发了人们极大的兴趣，但现在人们开始质疑这个项目的可行性甚至是真实性。
The idea of a traffic-straddling bus first appeared in China in 2010,
but it did not make much impact until the model was presented at the
Beijing International High-Tech Expo this year as a solution to traffic
congestion.
空中巴士的概念最先于2010年在中国出现，但起初并未激起多少波澜，直至它的模型在今年的北京国际科技产业博览会上作为治堵方案被展出之后。
The Transit Elevated Bus, dubbed Batie, was described as a revolution in
public ground transportation, but only a few days after its much-lauded
test-run in Qinhuangdao city, Hebei province, all test-runs have been
halted and doubts have emerged.
这款立体快巴（又名巴铁）被形容成是地面公共交通的一次革命，但就在它于河北省秦皇岛市举行了备受称赞的运行测试的几天之后，所有的运行测试被叫停了，质疑声也渐渐出现。
Will it work?
它真的有用吗？
Batie stands 2m above the road, but the test run covered only 300m on a
local road with just two traffic lanes. Many doubt the vehicle would fit
under footbridges in Beijing, and critics have asked how it will turn
corners, whether it is strong enough to bear its own and passengers’
weight and how long its battery would last.
巴铁的镂空高度为2米，但这次运行测试仅仅在当地一条双车道路段上运行了300米。很多人质疑这辆车能否通过北京的天桥，也有人质疑它将如何转弯，是否足够结实以承受自身和乘客的重量，以及它的电池能维持多久。
The Beijing News pointed out that the model used in the latest test run
was the same one as six years ago, suggesting the project has made no
real technical progress since then. And the model is far from finished
as workers were still working on parts of the bus just before the test.
《新京报》指出，最近的运行测试中使用的模型和六年前的一样，暗示这个项目从那之后并未取得实质性的技术进步。而且这个模型还远未完工，因为就在测试之前工人们还在为巴士的零件忙碌工作。
Many people commenting online also raised Batie’s "lack of real
science", saying Song Youzhou, the vehicle’s designer, has only a
primary school education, although he owns more than 50 patents for
different inventions.
很多网友同时也质疑巴铁“缺乏真正的科技含量”，说巴铁的设计师宋有洲只有小学学历，尽管他拥有50多项不同发明的专利。
Mr Song says none of China’s great inventions were made by university
graduates. "I hate it when people make fun of inventors and enjoy the
result of their hard work in the meantime," he said.
宋先生说中国的伟大发明里没有一项是由大学毕业生创造的。“我讨厌人们一边嘲笑发明者，一边又享受着他们辛勤工作的成果，”他说。
Does it really have government backing?
巴铁真的有政府支持吗？
Public reports show that the company behind Batie signed a strategic
partnership with the Qinhuangdao government in April, but when the
Beijing News got in touch, both the Qinhuangdao and local Beidaihe
governments denied any active involvement in the project, saying there
was only a "skeleton" agreement.
公开报道显示，巴铁的幕后公司四月份和秦皇岛市政府签订了战略伙伴协议，但是当《新京报》和当地政府取得联系时，秦皇岛市政府和当地北戴河区政府都否认积极参与了这个项目，说只和巴铁签订了一份框架协议。
The city’s top economic planning department, the National Development
and Reform Commission of Qinhuangdao, was quoted as saying the bus
project had not been approved.
《新京报》援引该市的最高经济规划部门秦皇岛市发展和改革委员会的话称该巴士项目并未获得批准。
The company later clarified that the trial was not a formal "road test,"
but simply part of "internal testing".
巴铁的幕后公司事后澄清说这次实验并非正式的“路面实验”，而仅仅是“内部测试”的一部分。
Batie also says it has signed contracts to co-operate with the Tianjin
and Henan governments, but when Chinese journalists visited their
production base in Henan, it is reported that they saw no activity
inside the factory site, and that it was overrun with weeds.
该公司还说它和天津以及河南政府签订了合作合同，但据报道，当中国记者走访他们在河南的生产基地时，记者们在厂区内没有看到任何动静，而且厂区里长满了荒草。
Mr Song has repeatedly called Batie a "major national innovation", but
faced down by his critics, he has admitted that the project has not gone
through the stage of officially qualifying as one yet.
宋先生多次将巴铁称为一项“重大的国家级创新”，但在一片批评声的重创之下，他承认了该项目并未通过官方的资格认证。
