Mattias Pettersson is the man in charge of bringing the first rooftop wind turbine to a Swedish apartment block.
馬提亞斯彼得森是負責將第一個屋頂風力渦輪機引進瑞典公寓街廓區塊的人。
Pettersson is heading the project for one of Sweden’s largest property owners.
彼得森正在領導這個瑞典數一數二的地產業主專案。
[Mattias Pettersson, Wind Turbine Project Coordinator]:
“The power turbine we see here will power lights in the car park and staircases, it will supply the electricity needed for the laundry room, the lifts and the ventilation systems.”
[馬提亞斯彼得森，風力渦輪專案協調人]：
「我們這裡看到的發電渦輪機，將可用來點亮停車場和樓梯間的燈光，它將會提供洗衣間、電梯，以及通風系統所需的電力。」
The model was originally developed by China’s army to bring electricity to its remote bases.
這個發電模型當初是由中國軍方發展的，主要是為了將電力傳送到遠方的基地。
Its size makes it ideal for use on apartment blocks and should make powering elevators much cheaper.
它的尺寸非常適合用在公寓街廓區塊，而且它應該會讓電梯的電費變得極為便宜。

9. cut down ：ph. 縮減
10. recoup ：v. 收回
11. capacity： n. 容量
12. overtake ：v. 追趕上
[Mattias Pettersson, Wind Turbine Project Coordinator]:
“We hope that this will become a part of our cut downs on bought electricity to our properties. It is meant to lower the amount of energy usage in the property where the turbine has been installed.”
[馬提亞斯彼得森，風力渦輪專案協調人]：
「我們希望這對我們的房產來說，可以幫助縮減部份購買的電力。也就是說，降低有安裝渦輪機的房產的總能源使用量。」
One turbine is only able to recoup around 10 percent of the building’s energy usage.
一個渦輪機只能夠收回大約整棟建築能源使用量的百分之十。
Pettersson says further turbines should be able to cover all its energy needs.
彼得森表示，進一步發展的渦輪機，應該可以涵蓋所有的能源需求。
But some residents have already complained about the noise the turbine makes in high winds.
但是已經有一部分住戶已在抱怨渦輪機在高速風力下的噪音。
Europe now generates 55 percent of global capacity in wind generation.
歐洲現在占全世界風力發電容量的百分之五十五。
Germany was the world leader in the technology.
過去德國這種科技領先全球。
It’s since been overtaken by the United States, as that country looks for greener sources of energy.
但現在已經被美國追趕過去了，因為美國尋找更環保的能源來源。
