English to Chinese: BMW X6 Press Release General field: Marketing Detailed field: Automotive / Cars & Trucks
Source text - English The xDrive permanent four-wheel drive takes charge of applying the engine's power to the road or ground, with the drive torque split variably between the front and rear wheels. The xDrive fourwheel drive is underpinned by the new Dynamic Performance Control on the BMW X6: this ensures that the power is also distributed appropriately between the right and left wheel. This drive technology, which BMW is using for the first time here, increases agility, driving stability and traction, thus heightening the customer's driving pleasure in everyday driving situations, too. If there is a risk of oversteering, xDrive reduces the amount of drive torque at the rear wheels that seek to push the car outwards. Dynamic Performance Control in addition reduces the drive torque at whichever rear wheel is on the outside of the bend – because its centrifugal force will be particularly high – and diverts it to the rear wheel on the inside of the bend. Conversely, the tendency to understeer that is particularly noticeable in four-wheel-drive vehicles with a high centre of gravity is also suppressed. xDrive reduces the power diverted to the front wheels which want to push outwards; meanwhile Dynamic Performance Control shifts the drive torque's emphasis towards the rear wheel on the outside of the bend, thus stabilising the car. A technical innovation compared with similar systems is that the torque is now distributed variably by Dynamic Performance Control even when the driver abruptly moves off the accelerator on a bend.	Translation - Chinese xDrive全时全轮驱动系统负责将发动机的动力传递到路面或地面上，并以可变方式向前后车轮分配驱动扭矩。BMW X6上的全新动态性能控制系统与xDrive全轮驱动系统相结合，确保动力在左侧和右侧车轮之间也达到正确分配。BMW X6是第一款应用这种驱动技术的BMW车型，而该技术能够提升车辆的灵活性、行车稳定性和牵引力，进而使客户在日常行驶状态下也享受到高度的驾驶乐趣，举例而言，如果车辆出现转向过度的危险，xDrive能够降低后轮的驱动扭矩，以防止后轮向弯道外侧偏移。与此同时，动态性能控制系统会降低位于外道外侧的后轮的扭矩（因为这个后轮的离心力尤其大），并将这部分扭矩转送给位于弯道内侧的后轮。反之亦然，重心较高的全轮驱动车辆存在明显的转向不足趋势，而xDrive同样可以抑制这种趋势，换言之，xDrive会降低有可能向弯道外侧偏移的前轮所分配到的动力，与此同时，动态性能控制系统使驱动扭矩的分配重点向位于弯道外侧的后轮迁移，进而使车辆恢复稳定状态。与类似系统相比，xDrive的一项技术创新体现在：即使当驾驶者在车辆转弯过程中突然松开油门，动态性能控制系统仍能以可变方式分配驱动扭矩。
English to Chinese: Jeep Wrangler Magazine Article General field: Marketing Detailed field: Automotive / Cars & Trucks
Source text - English NORTH TO ALASKA Alaska. The very name conjures an image of a vast, icy wilderness studded with glaciers and frozen lakes, populated by bears and moose. Yet more than 600,000 people live in America’s 49th state, and I’ve come here to take a drive through Alaska to learn a thing or two from the hardy souls who call the place home. But could I – a city softie – armed with a Jeep® Wrangler Unlimited, tackle the Alaskan wilderness, a state that makes Yellowstone look like Central Park? This trip will put the DNA of the Jeep Wrangler to the test. Everyone who talks about Alaska begins in the same place – the landscape is so indescribably big, the distances so vast and mountains so overwhelming that they warp even the most reasonable sense of scale. Everywhere else, distances seem to be measured in millimetres compared with Alaska’s endless kilometres. The old joke is, cut the state of Alaska in half and Texas would still only be the third largest state in the USA. The truth is, statistics fall short in conveying anything meaningful about the place. To know Alaska, you have to be there.	Translation - Chinese 北上阿拉斯加阿拉斯加——每当听到这个名字，人们脑海中都会浮现出这样一幅画面：辽阔而蛮荒的冰原，散布着冰川和冰湖，有棕熊和驼鹿在那里繁衍生息。然而作为美国的第49个州，这里还居住着超过60万人口，我驾车来到这里是为了做一次深入阿拉斯加的长途旅行，从以此为家的勤劳勇敢的人们那里，我希望多多收获见闻和体验。但是，在阿拉斯加——这个让黄石国家公园相比之下都像纽约中央公园那样舒适宜人的州，我——一个在城市长大的文弱男孩——是否能够在一辆Jeep® Wrangler Unlimited的陪伴下穿越茫茫冰原旷野？这次旅行将对Jeep Wrangler的越野基因来一次全方位检验。每当人们说起阿拉斯加，开头总是一成不变——那里的地域是多么难以形容地宽广辽阔，那里的路途是多么令人生畏地艰难遥远，那里的山峦是多么令人胆寒地高昂险峻，哪怕是平时对路程距离和地域面积感知再清醒准确的人，在那里也会感到困惑迷茫。和阿拉斯加似乎永无尽头的路程相比，其它任何地方的路程都会变得像只需用毫米度量一样微不足道。正如一则古老的笑谈中所说的，即便把阿拉斯加一分为二，德克萨斯也仍不过是美国的第三大州而已。事实上，任何数字都远不足以描述这片土地。要想了解阿拉斯加，你必须亲自置身其中。
