　　：飛翔的夢想與現實

　　Oh, to be free like a bird. It's been the stuff of fantacy, and of reality. Sort of. A self-contained flying man. This jet pack from 1960s had barely enough fuel to fly 30 seconds. So the dream languished for decades. Everyone agreed it was completely impractical , except Micheal Moshier.

　　Micheal Moshier: The pilot controls the flaps with the right-hand control stick.

　　Moshier, a former Navy-pilot-turned-entrepreneur, has spent the last five years of his life working secretly on a tiny twin blade strap helicopter called The Solotrek.

　　He said he had made his first cautious***謹慎的*** flight only two feet up at first. But to Moshier, two feet up was like being in the heaven.

　　Micheal Moshier: It was exhilarating beyond description. I will tell you I didin't sleep that night or for several nights thereafter. It was a monumental moment.

　　With a little more work, he says, the machine will zip around the treetops at 80mph, stabilized by computer. He can picture the army using it to get over rugged terrain, police on search and rescue missions, and if an occasional daredevil wants to beats traffic, well, Moshier believes a pilot who can walk and chew gum with minimal training should be able to get on the aircraft suitably. There's just this one nagging question, the machine will fly, but will the idea? True , Moshier has help from the Defense Department and from NASA, but won't the machine be noisy or dangerous or hard to park?

　　Jeffrey Schroeder ***NASA scientist***: I think we can do it but it would be expensive. The challenge is to make it so that it has more of a mess appeal.

　　Perhaps we are only destined to dream of only flying without wings and never do it. On the other hand, Micheal Moshier was two feet up.

　　：我的人生追求

　　Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, in a wayward***任性的，不規則的*** course,are over a deep ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair.

　　I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy-ecstasy***狂喜，入迷*** so great that I would often have sacrificed all my rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it, next because it relieves loneliness-that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable***深不可測的*** lifeless abyss. I have sought it, finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what-at last-I have found.

　　With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flux. A 1ittle of this, but not much, I have achieved.

　　Love and knowledge, so far they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate***迴響*** in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a hated burden to their pain make a mockery***嘲弄*** of what human life should be. I long to alleviate***減輕，緩和*** the evil, but I can't, and I too suffer.

　　This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.
