一位澳大利亚出租汽车司机新近发明了一种装置,能阻止汽车驾驶员在喝醉酒时驾驶汽车。这种装置叫做“保雷斯”,它实际上是一个高灵敏度的小型酒精检测器,其形状就象是一个话筒。驾驶员在开车前,只要对着“话筒”吹口气,保雷斯就开始进行分析。如果保雷斯记录到的酒精率超过法定的极限,它就会切断汽车的点火装置,从而阻止汽车的起动。这种装置不一定需要24小时不停地工作,比方说,可以把它按程序编制在只在夜间工作,因为在这个时间里吃醉酒是经常会发生的。 An Australian taxi driver recently invented a device that prevents car drivers from driving a car while drunk. This device, called the Bores, is actually a small, highly sensitive alcohol detector shaped like a microphone. Before the driver drove, as long as the “microphone” breath, Borel began to analyze. If Borel records the alcohol rate exceeds the legal limit, it will cut off the ignition of the car, thus preventing the car from starting. This device does not have to work 24 hours a day, for example, it can be programmed to work only at night, as drunkenness often happens during this time.
