        　　英国推出世界最安全车锁
        　　I'm Michael and like many of you a victim of bikecrime. Coming out of a
meetup with friends andseeing your bike has been stolen for the second timeis
never a nice feeling. Seeing that your bike lockdidn’t hold up to being cut
through is even worse.After that I was constantly worried about my bikegetting
stolen when it was chained up outside andspeaking to my friends many of them
felt the sameway.
        　　我是麦克，和很多人一样，深受自行车失窃的困扰。每次和朋友聚会后看到自行车又丢了总是让人很愤懑。自行车锁锁不住车实在太糟了。自行车锁被剪开过一次之后，我就总是担心停在外面的自行车会被偷，我的朋友们大多也有相同的感受。
        　　We decided that as a group with different skills: engineers, marketing
professionals, designers,we thought we could do something about this, so we
conceived a Smart Lock. We wanted tostop our bikes getting stolen and to also
track them if they did.
        　　我和我的朋友都从事着不同的行业：有工程师、营销专家、设计师，我们觉得可以做点什么来改变现状，智能锁(Smart
Lock)应运而生，用来防止自行车失窃，也能在失窃后追踪失物。
        　　We obviously realized this was going to be a huge task, but committed two
years of our lives,to prototyping, designing, testing, scrapping and trying
again.
        　　毫无疑问，只是一项艰巨的任务，我们用两年的时间制作样品、设计、测试、重头来过又不断尝试。
        　　The end result of the late nights, hard work and maybe a few tears, is a
product we are veryproud of, possibly the safest lock in the world.
        　　历经熬夜、奋斗和泪水，我们终于发明了这款融入着自豪感、世界上最安全的车锁。
        　　Our lock is made with a hardened stainless steel casing to be tough, GPS
tracking so you cantrack your bike worldwide, motion sensors to alert you of
suspicious activity and a 110dbalarm to alert those nearby.
        　　智能锁外壳由坚硬的不锈钢制作而成，内置全球定位追踪系统，车主可在全球范围内追踪自行车，以及运动传感器，发生可疑行为时可警惕车主，并且以100分贝的音量提醒周围人群。
