This ‘Tesla hoverboard’ is what dreams are made of—but it’s just that.
這款“特斯拉單輪電動滑板車”是所有人的夢想，但也僅此而已。

If you see people on the internet freaking out over a Tesla hoverboard today, we hate to break it to you, but it’s fake.
如果你現(xiàn)在看見網(wǎng)上有人站在特斯拉單輪電動滑板車上嚇壞了，我們不忍心告訴你，但其實都是假的。

A video of Tesla’s alleged newest product was posted to YouTube, and it seems to have generated quite the buzz on social media.
一段所謂特斯拉最新產(chǎn)品的視頻被發(fā)布到了YouTube上，好像在社交媒體上引起了軒然大波。

Alas, the hoverboard in the video is completely computer-generated.
唉，視頻中的單輪電動滑板車完全是電腦合成的。

But then again, maybe Elon Musk will see it and decide to try to give making one a go.
但還需要說明一下，可能埃隆·馬斯克會看到這個視頻，并決定試一試。

It’s no crazier than his flamethrowers, after all.
畢竟這個還沒有他的火焰噴射器瘋狂。

Last February, Elon Musk sold $10 million worth of flamethrowers in four days.
去年二月份埃隆·馬斯克四天內(nèi)賣出了價值1000萬美元的火焰噴射器。

Musk announced that all 20,000 of the Boring Company-branded flamethrowers have sold out.
馬斯克宣布Boring Company生產(chǎn)的共20,000個火焰噴射器已售罄。

Given that they were $500 each, that means Musk moved $10 million worth in the four days since they went on sale.
假設(shè)每個售價500美元，這就意味著這些產(chǎn)品上市后的4天內(nèi)馬斯克就賣出了1000萬美元。

Musk also announced that every flamethrower will ship with a “complimentary Boring fire extinguisher.”
馬斯克還說每個火焰噴射器都附贈“免費的Boring滅火器”。

Still, not everyone is happy about the flamethrower success. Though flamethrowers are legal in America if their flames don’t extend more than 10 feet, a Californian politician has said he will seek a ban on the Boring Company selling the flamethrowers in his state.
但不是所有人對于火焰噴射器取得的成功都感到高興。雖然在美國火焰不超過10英尺的火焰噴射器是合法的，但一位加州政客說他將在本州范圍內(nèi)禁止Boring Company銷-售火焰噴射器。
