| [00:01.00] | The annual contest aims to direct young people toward careers in science and technology. |
| [00:05.75] | It is sponsored by a consortium of professional and technical societies and some major U.S. corporations. |
| [00:11.65] | The students-built tabletop scale models of their designs using recycled materials, costing no more than $100. |
| [00:18.36] | The teams also had to write essays about their solutions, |
| [00:21.61] | explain their ideas to the crowd and answer the questions asked by a six-member expert panel. |
| [00:27.19] | Gregory Bentley, CEO of Bentley Systems Incorporated, one of the competition's major sponsors, |
| [00:32.69] | said this year’s theme was ’urban transportation’ -- an increasingly important issue for the world's cities. |
| [00:38.64] | “We sort of have the first generation, I think now, in the United States, |
| [00:41.73] | who are not committed to having a car to be a part of their life,” |
| [00:44.95] | Eighth-graders from the southern state of Georgia -- David Straub, Katherine Barri and Rebecca North |
| [00:49.20] | -- envisioned their city far into the future. |
| [00:51.66] | David said they predicted that public transport would be effortless and eco-friendly. |
| [00:56.26] | “It’s a new system that focuses, has a focus on magnetic frequency, |
| [00:59.88] | which will allow people to levitate and float along the magnetic fields,” |
| [01:03.69] | Leila Mezza, Oha Hassan and Mousa Seid from Houston, Texas, |
| [01:08.32] | imagined a city in Brazil in 2084, with transport relying on electric cars. |
| [01:13.88] | “These garages have photovoltaic cells |
| [01:16.66] | and whenever our cars are parked over here, they get their energy to drive later on," |
| [01:21.20] | Bentley said the Future City competition, now in its 22nd year, is deliberately focused on young teens. |
| [01:28.11] | “Because at that age in the United States, they have to elect the math courses, the advanced math courses. |
| [01:33.59] | If they don’t at that age, they will never be an engineer,” |
| [01:36.66] | The grand prize of $7,500 went to St. John Lutheran School in Michigan. |
| [01:41.77] | The team members won a trip to U.S. Space Camp. |
| [01:44.57] | Even if they didn't win, the experience of working on an engineering project |
| [01:48.19] | has encouraged many of the kids to think about a career in science and technology. |
| [01:52.72] | One of them is Eric Swyler from New Mexico, who said, |
| [01:55.29] | “I plan to become a scientist of some kind, but I’m not sure exactly what kind.” |
| [02:00.48] | Swyler does not have to worry. |
| [02:02.56] | He has plenty of time to decide. |

| [00:01.00] | 一年一度的比赛目的在于引导年轻人从事科技事业 |
| [00:05.75] | 它由一个专业技术协会和一些美国主要公司组成的联合会赞助 |
| [00:11.65] | 学生们用可回收的材料去建造桌面模型，成本不超过100美元 |
| [00:18.36] | 这些团队还必须撰写关于他们的解决方案的论文 |
| [00:21.61] | 向大众阐述他们的想法，并回答由六人组成的专家小组提出的问题 |
| [00:27.19] | 宾利系统公司(Bentley Systems Incorporated)的首席执行官格雷戈里·宾利(Gregory Bentley)是这次竞赛的主要赞助商之一 |
| [00:32.69] | 他表示今年的主题是“城市交通”--一个世界城市来说越来越重要的问题 |
| [00:38.64] | “我认为，现在在美国，我们拥有了第一代人 |
| [00:41.73] | 他们没有认定拥有一辆汽车应当成为他们生活的一部分” |
| [00:44.95] | 来自佐治亚州南部的八年级学生--大卫·施特劳(David Straub)、凯瑟琳·巴里(Katherine Barri)和丽贝卡·诺斯(Rebecca North) |
| [00:49.20] | --设想着他们的城市的未来发展方向 |
| [00:51.66] | 大卫说，他们预测那时的公共交通将是节能和环保的 |
| [00:56.26] | “这是一个新的系统，重点放在磁频率 |
| [00:59.88] | 这将允许人们沿着磁场悬浮和漂浮 |
| [01:03.69] | 来自得克萨斯州休斯敦的莱拉·梅萨(Leila Mezza)、奥哈·哈桑(Oha Hassan)和穆萨·赛德(Mousa Seid) |
| [01:08.32] | 设想了2084年的一个巴西城市，交通将依靠电动汽车 |
| [01:13.88] | “这些车库有光伏电池 |
| [01:16.66] | 只要我们的车停在这里，它们就能充满电之后继续行驶” |
| [01:21.20] | 宾利表示，关于未来城市的竞争，现在已经是第二十二年了，主要集中于青少年群体 |
| [01:28.11] | “因为在美国，在那个年龄段，他们必须选择数学课，高等数学课程。 |
| [01:33.59] | 如果他们不在这个年龄(做出选择)，他们就永远无法成为工程师” |
| [01:36.66] | 7500美元的大奖颁给了密歇根的圣约翰路德教会学校 |
| [01:41.77] | 队员们赢得了去美国太空营的旅行 |
| [01:44.57] | 即使他们没有赢，在工程项目上的实践经验 |
| [01:48.19] | 也鼓励了很多孩子去考虑从事科技方面的职业 |
| [01:52.72] | 其中一位来自新墨西哥州的埃里克·斯威勒(Eric Swyler)说 |
| [01:55.29] | "我打算成为某个领域的科学家，但我不确定到底是什么样的科学家" |
| [02:00.48] | 其实斯威勒不必担心 |
| [02:02.56] | 他有足够的时间来做出决定 |
