The Teen That Beat the Blind Spot

Modern cars have safety features that can help drivers brake faster, drive straighter, and maintain a safe distance from the car in front. However, one big problem still remains, and it causes hundreds of thousands of accidents each year─blind spots. The solid pillars that give a car its structure block the driver's view of important parts of the road. And getting rid of them isn't an option, as they provide important protection should your car roll over. But now there is a solution, and its inventor─Alaina Gassler from Pennsylvania, USA─isn't even old enough to have a driver's license; she's just 14 years old!
Her solution is simple but ingenious: a camera on the outside of the car is linked to a projector inside the car, and the live footage is projected onto the car's pillars. When it's all set up, the pillars magically appear see-through.
Alaina originally presented her solution at a national science competition for middle school students, and the judges were so impressed that they awarded her the grand prize of US$25,000. While Alaina's invention isn't ready to be installed in vehicles around the world just yet, maybe down the road the feature could become an industry standard.

 
解決汽車視線死角的創意發想

現代的汽車具有可以幫助駕駛人煞車更快、開得更直,以及與前車保持安全距離的安全性能。然而,有一個大問題依舊存在,而它每年造成數十萬起車禍——視線死角。構成車子骨架的堅固柱子會擋住駕駛人對路上重要部分的視線。而且移除柱子不可行,因為萬一你的車子翻覆,它們能提供重要的保護功能。但現在有個解決方案,而發明人(來自美國賓州的艾蕾娜.蓋瑟勒)年紀甚至還沒大到可以拿駕照;她才十四歲!
她的解決方法簡單卻很巧妙:一台車外的攝影機與車內的一台投影機相連接,而即時影像就會投射到車柱上。安裝完成後,柱子會神奇地看起來像可透視一般。
艾蕾娜原本是在一個全國中學生科學競賽中提出她的解決方法,評審對此極為讚賞而將兩萬五千美元的大獎頒給她。雖然艾蕾娜的發明目前尚未準備要安裝在世界各地的車輛上,但也許未來這項功能會是業界標準配備。

infodemic
嗜好興趣

新冠肺炎(COVID-19)導致人心惶惶,許多相關的訊息真假難辨,諸如疫情消息或特效療法等,使得相關單位防疫之外還需要花心力去釐清。世界衛生組織(WHO)稱此為「資訊傳染病」,並攜手科技巨擘研討解決方法。

fake news n. phr. 假新聞
false information n. phr. 錯誤資訊(也可以用misinformation)
search engine n. 搜尋引擎
third-party adj. 第三方的
fact-check v. 事實核查
spread v. 傳播
globally adv. 全球地

The COVID-19 outbreak caused an infodemic, the spread of excessive information─both accurate and false─that made it difficult to find out facts about the new virus.
新冠肺炎爆發引發一種資訊傳染病,即過多的資訊傳播(包括正確的和錯誤的)使得難以查明關於新病毒的事實。
