WK: After I dropped out of school, I went to library,
15
67000
4000
WK:我放学之后,就去图书馆。
01:11
and I read a book that would -- "Using Energy,"
16
71000
4000
我就去查阅会“应用能源”的书,
01:15
and I get information about doing the mill.
17
75000
3000
然后我就得到了有关制作风车的信息。
01:18
And I tried, and I made it.
18
78000
2000
后来我就试着做了一个。
01:20
(Applause)

20
90000
4000

01:34
WK: Ah, no. I just --
21
94000
2000
WK:啊,不,我只是--
01:36
CA: What happened?
22
96000
2000
CA:怎么回事呢?
01:38
WK: In fact, a design of the windmill that was in the book,
23
98000
4000
WK:实际上,风车的设计在书里已经有了,
01:42
it has got four -- ah -- three blades,
24
102000
4000
它有四个-嗯-三个扇片,
01:46
and mine has got four blades.

01:52
CA: And you made it out of what?
28
112000
2000
CA:你为什么要这么做呢?
01:54
WK: I made four blades, just because I want to increase power.
29
114000
5000
WK:我用四个扇片,只是因为我想增加电力。
01:59
CA: OK.
30
119000

02:03
WK: Yeah. I test.
33
123000
2000
WK:是的,我测试过。
02:05
CA: And what did you make the windmill out of?
34
125000
3000
CA:你用什么来做这个风车的?
02:08
What materials did you use?
35
128000
2000
用什么材料来做的?
02:10
WK: I use a bicycle frame, and a pulley, and plastic pipe, what then pulls --

03:16
to pump water and irrigation for crops.
57
196000
5000
用来抽水和灌溉--给农作物灌溉。

61
205000
5000
