from different stages of Solar Impulse 2's round-the-world voyage to promote
renewable energy.
以下來自陽光動力2號環球航行不同階段的照片，其目的提倡再生能源。
Solar
Impulse 2 has landed in Abu Dhabi, the United Arab Emirates, successfully
completing the first solar-powered flight around the globe.
陽光動力2號降落於阿拉伯聯合大公國首都阿布達比，成功完成第一架太陽能飛機航行全球。

Borschberg (left) and Bertrand Piccard, the Swiss founders of the project, took
turns to pilot the aircraft during an epic 16-month voyage to promote renewable
energy.
此計畫的瑞士創辦人，伯爾斯貝格(Andre Borschberg)(左邊)和皮卡德(Bertrand Piccard)，在這長達16個月史詩級的航行，輪流掌舵此架飛機，展現再生能源。
"The
future is clean. The future is you. The future is now. Let's take it further,''
Mr Piccard said. "I'm sure that within the next 10 years we'll see electric
carrying 50 passengers on short- to medium-haul flights."
皮卡德表示：「未來是乾淨無害的，未來由你開始做起，未來從現在起，讓我們一起向前邁進，我很肯定接下來不到十年，電能可以乘載50名乘客進行短程及中程的飛行。
The
17-stage journey - which began on 9 March, 2015 - covered more than 40,000km
(25,000 miles), taking in four continents, three seas and two oceans.
於2015年3月9號啟航，這17段旅程，涵蓋超過4萬公里(2萬5千英哩)，歷經4大洲、3大海洋及2大太平洋。
With
a cruising speed of no more than 90km/h, the pilots showed mental stamina,
tackling vast distances. "We were facing the oceans... We had to build up
this mindset, not just the plane and technology," Mr Piccard said.
The
longest leg, an 8,924km flight from Nagoya in Japan to Hawaii, lasted nearly
118 hours and saw Mr Borschberg break the absolute world record for longest
(time duration) uninterrupted solo flight.
最長的路程是，從日本名古屋飛往夏威夷的8,924公里，長達近118小時，藉此伯爾斯貝格打破耗時最長且不間斷的單獨飛行的世界紀錄。
Solar
Impulse is a little heavier than a car, but has the wingspan of a Boeing 747. It
is powered by 17,000 solar cells. Excess energy is stored in batteries.
陽光動力只比汽車重一點點，但有同波音747的機翼。其動能來自1萬7千片的太陽能板。多餘的能量則存在電池裡。
The
aircraft is very sensitive to the weather, and had to wait for weeks in some
countries for the right conditions to present themselves.
這架飛機容易受天氣影響，在某些國家展示必須等上好幾周，等待合適的情況。
