* * * The differential is a device that splits the engine torque two ways,allowing each output to spin at a different speed.(Fig.3.3) The differential is found on all modern cars and trucks,and also in many allwheeldrive (fulltime fourwheeldrive) vehicles.These allwheeldrive vehicles need a differential between each set of drive wheels,and they need one between the front and the back wheels as well, because the front wheels travel a different distance through a turn than the rear wheels［1］. The differential has three jobs: To aim the engine power at the wheels［2］. To act as the final gear reduction in the vehicle,slowing the rotational speed of the transmission one final time before it hits the wheels. To transmit the power to the wheels while allowing them to rotate at different speeds. (This is the one that earned the differential its name.)［3］ ［1］对于科技英语，可以适当调整词的顺序，符合习惯表达法，不必拘泥于语法。原文中“ travel a different distance ”可以翻译为“……的距离和后桥……的距离是不同的”。 ［2］“aim…power at”意思是“传递动力”。 ［3］在翻译时将代词转化为相应的名词，更加明确。句中“allowing them to rotate at different speeds”翻译为“允许车轮以不同的速度转动”。 词汇学习 词汇学习 参考译文 什么是差速器 差速器（图3.3）把发动机传来的力矩分成两半，允许每个输出端以不同的速度转动。 在各种不同类型的车辆上到处可见差速器：在轿车和卡车上，在很多全驱（全时段四驱）车辆上。对于全驱的车子，每一组驱动轮之间都需一个差速器，而且，前桥和后桥之间也需要一个差速器。因为前桥车轮通过的距离和后桥通过的距离是不同的。 参考译文 差速器完成三大任务： 将发动机动力传递给车轮。 汽车的最后一级减速。将传动系统的输出速度再次减速，然后传给车轮。 传动到车轮时，允许车轮以不同的速度转动（这就是被称为“差速器”的原因）。 知识拓展 知识拓展 思考练习 翻译下列词组： 1、all-wheel-drive(full-time four-wheel-drive)vehicles 2、 front wheel 将下面的短文翻译成英文： A car has two differentials,one located between the two front wheels and one between the two rear wheels.They send the torque from the driveshaft or transmission to the drive wheels.They also allow the left and right wheels to spin at different speeds when you go around a turn. 在线教务辅导网： 更多课程配套课件资源请访问在线教务辅导网 馋死 PPT研究院 POWERPOINT ACADEMY * 了解汽车传动系的相关知识，掌握 有关词汇、词组 掌握离合器、变速器、万向传动装 置、主减速器、差速器和半轴等英 语的习惯表达方法 学习目标 会看汽车传动系方面的文章 会查找相关资料 能力目标 离合器安装在发动机
