Unit 1 Automotive BasicsAutomobiles, trucks, and buses are essential forms of transportation. They are complex machines made up of many parts. These parts can be grouped into a number of systems. An understanding of how the system work will help you understand how the automobile works.轿车、卡车和客车是交通运输的重要组成部分。
它们都是由许多部件组成的复杂机器。
这些部件可以归类为汽车的几个组成系统。
了解这些各个小系统是如何工作的将有助于我们理解整个汽车系统是如何工作。
An automobile can be divided into two basic parts: a body and a chassis. The body is the enclosure that houses the engine, passengers, and cargo. It is the part of the automobile that you see. The chassis is that part of the automobile beneath the body.汽车可以分为两个基本部分:车身和底盘。
车身包围发动机、乘客和行李,它是汽车你所看到的部分。
而车身以下的部分就是底盘。
1.1 An automobile body is a sheet metal shell with windows, doors, a hood, and a trunk deck built into it. It provides a protective covering for the engine, passengers, and cargo. The body is designed to keep passengers safe and comfortable. For example, insulation in the body reduces noise and protects against heat and cold. The body styling provides an attractive, colorful, modern appearance for the vehicle. It is streamlined to lessen wind resistance and to keep the car from swaying at driving speeds.轿车车身是一个钣金件壳体,它上面有车窗、车门、发送机罩和行李舱门等部件,它给发动机、乘客和行李提供防护。

CHAPTER 1 AUTOMOTIVE BASICS1.1 Principal Components 主要构成零部件Today's average car contains more than 15,000 separate, individual parts that must work together. These parts can grouped into four major categories: engine, body, chassis and electrical equipment. 现在,一般汽车由大约一万五千多个独立的零部件组成。
这些部件分为四大类,即发动机(引擎系统),车身,底盘和电气设备。
1.2 Engine 发动机/引擎系统The engine acts as the power unit. The internal combustion engine is most common: this obtains its power by burning a liquid fuel inside the engine cylinder. There are two types of engine :gasoline(also called a spark-ignition engine) and diesel(also called acompression-ignition engine).Both engines are called heat engines; the burning fuel generates heat which causes the gas inside the cylinder to increase its pressure and supply power to rotate a shaft connected to the transmission.引擎的作用是动力产生的部件。

Both engines are called heat engines;the burning fuel generates heat which causes the gas inside the cylinder to increase its pressure and supply power to rotate a shaft connected to the transmission .
内燃机是最常见的,其动力来自气缸里液体燃料的燃烧。
发动机有汽油机和柴油机两种,都称为热机。
燃料燃烧产生热量,使得气缸内气体压力升高,从而提供动力,带动连接变速器的轴旋转.(3)The internal combustion engine is most common: this obtains its power by burning a liquid fuel inside the engine cylinder.There are two types of engine: gasoline and diesel .
