Mattias Pettersson is the man in charge of bringing the first rooftop wind turbine to a Swedish apartment block.
马提亚斯彼得森是负责将第一个屋顶风力涡轮机引进瑞典公寓街廓区块的人。
Pettersson is heading the project for one of Sweden’s largest property owners.
彼得森正在领导这个瑞典数一数二的地产业主专案。
[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."
[马提亚斯彼得森，风力涡轮专案协调人]：
“我们这里看到的发电涡轮机，将可用来点亮停车场和楼梯间的灯光，它将会提供洗衣间、电梯，以及通风系统所需的电力。”
The model was originally developed by China’s army to bring electricity to its remote bases.
这个发电模型当初是由中国军方发展的，主要是为了将电力传送到远方的基地。
Its size makes it ideal for use on apartment blocks and should make powering elevators much cheaper.
它的尺寸非常适合用在公寓街廓区块，而且它应该会让电梯的电费变得极为便宜。

9. cut down ph. 缩减
10. recoup v. 收回
11. capacity n. 容量
12. overtake v. 追赶上
[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."
[马提亚斯彼得森，风力涡轮专案协调人]：
“我们希望这对我们的房产来说，可以帮助缩减部分购买的电力。也就是说，降低有安装涡轮机的房产的总能源使用量。”
One turbine is only able to recoup around 10 percent of the building’s energy usage.
一个涡轮机只能够收回大约整栋建筑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，进一步发展的涡轮机，应该可以涵盖所有的能源需求。
But some residents have already complained about the noise the turbine makes in high winds.
但是已经有一部分住户已在抱怨涡轮机在高速风力下的噪音。
Europe now generates 55 percent of global capacity in wind generation.
欧洲现在占全世界风力发电容量的百分之五十五。
Germany was the world leader in the technology.
过去德国这种科技领先全球。
It’s since been overtaken by the United States, as that country looks for greener sources of energy.
但现在已经被美国追赶过去了，因为美国寻找更环保的能源来源。
