autonomous electric vehicles 自动电动车 长难句解析 In 2016, Elon Musk wrote that once regulators approved self-driving cars, owners would only need to “tap a button on the Tesla phone app” to send their cars off to generate income “potentially exceeding the monthly loan or lease cost.”
2016 年，埃隆·马斯克写道，一旦监管部门批准了自动驾驶汽车，车主只需“点击特斯拉手机应用程序上的一个按钮”，就可以派出自己的汽车，从而产生“可能超过每月贷款或租赁成本”的收入。
我们先来看逗号前面的部分，In 2016, Elon Musk wrote that once regulators approved self-driving cars, 就是“早在 2016 年，Elon Musk 就说，一旦监管部门批准了自动驾驶汽车”。后面 owners would only need to “tap a button on the Tesla phone app” to send their cars off to generate income “potentially exceeding the monthly loan or lease cost”，这半句话中间有些部分引用了马斯克的原话，所以有些长，理解起来也有相应的困难。我们不妨以每个 to do 为节点，对句子进行拆分。首先是 need to tap a botton on the Tesla phone app, 对应中文中的“需要点击特斯拉手机应用上的一个按钮”。这样做的目的是 to send their cars off. “把车辆派出去”，从而， to generate income, 产生收入。文中接下来的引号部分是对“income”的进一步解释，“potentially exceeding the monthly loan or lease cost”, “可能能够超过每月贷款或租赁成本的”收入。
