Hey There! Welcome to Life Noggin!
大家好！欢迎来到脑洞大开的生命奇想！
About two-thirds of the American population lives in the city. Sure, the convenience and excitement are great, but city living can be rough.
大约三分之二的美国人住在城市。当然，城市很便利，很有活力，但是城市生活可能会很艰苦。
Ya know...because some cities look like this... But how can we make this better? I'm thinking a beautiful utopia from scratch. Best city ever.
你知道……因为有些城市是这样的……但是我们怎样才能让城市更好呢？我在想建一个美丽的乌托邦。史上最棒的城市。
My friend Brian from Real Engineering is here to help me with this video! So Brian, let's give it a go, shall we? How Can We Make The Perfect City? First things first, location.
来自真正的工程频道的，我的朋友布莱恩来帮助我一起完成这个视频！布莱恩，让我们试一试，好吗？我们怎样才能打造一个完美的城市？重要的是位置。
We'll want somewhere with a good water supply, so near a lake would be great. Somewhere scenic obviously with moderate but not extreme seasons.
我们要找一个有良好水源的地方，所以靠近湖泊会很好。风景优美，四季温和。
We'll want our city to be small enough to avoid lots of congestion and overcrowding, but still large enough to have all the amenities all city folk know and love.
我们希望我们的城市小一些，以避免许多交通堵塞和过度拥挤，但也要大一些，容纳所有城市人都知道和热爱的所有设施。
Let's say 25 square miles/65 sq km and about half a million people. A square, 5m x 5m/8km x 8km grid layout would make the city super easy to navigate.
假设25平方英里/65平方公里，大约50万人。一个正方形，5m×5m/8km×8km的网格布局，非常有利于城市发展。
We'd have timely, efficient subways running in straight lines, criss-crossing under the city. But above ground, transportation would be limited to bike paths and walkways.
我们会有及时、高效的地铁，在城市的地下纵横交错。但在地面上，交通将仅限于自行车道和人行道。
A car-less city might sound a bit extreme but cities like Paris are already losing expressways to favor bikes and walking. This keeps citizens healthier and reduces pollution.
一个没有汽车的城市听起来可能有点极端，但像巴黎这样的城市已经开始放弃高速公路，转而青睐自行车和步行。这使市民更健康，也减少污染。
Solar panels and wind turbines outside the city and on top of buildings would also lessen emissions and help our utopian city stay green. A city with no pollution sounds ideal.
城市外缘和建筑顶部的太阳能电池板和风力涡轮机也将减少排放，帮助我们乌托邦式的城市保持绿色。没有污染的城市听起来很理想。
The city that I currently live in...is very smokey! We get it! You vape! Our buildings would follow this eco-friendly path.
我现在住的城市……很烟！我们知道了！讨厌的电子烟！我们的建筑将遵循这条生态友好的道路。
We'd construct a densely-packed city with a mix of green office high-rises and residential buildings.
我们将建设一个人口密集的城市，由绿色办公大楼和住宅楼组成。
Vienna does this to help reduce transport time and to keep the city feeling home-y.
维也纳就是这样做的，目的在于减少交通时间，让这座城市有家的感觉。
All our buildings would be nice to look at and the skyscrapers would be covered with vertical gardens, like they are in Singapore.
我们所有的建筑看起来都很漂亮，摩天大楼将被垂直花园覆盖，就像新加坡一样。
People could reach out their window and pick some veggies for their salad or some flowers for their loved ones.
人们可以从窗户伸出手，选择一些蔬菜做沙拉或为爱人摘些花。
Or gather all their tomatoes and throw them at bad comedians.
或者把他们所有的番茄都捡起来丢差劲的喜剧演员。
Whichever you'd prefer. We'd also want to put a lot of focus on the social aspects of our city, making it as enjoyable as possible.
随便你选哪个。我们还想把重点放在城市的社会建设方面，让它尽可能地给人舒适感。
Think good schools, fun extracurricular activities, and close-knit communities.
想想好的学校，有趣的课外活动，以及紧密团结的社区。
Speaking of, does anyone wanna join my hot air balloon petting zoo club? Space is very limited.
说到这里，有人想加入我的热气球宠物动物园俱乐部吗？空间有限哦。
The legal system would also favor rehabilitation over punishment.
法律体系也倾向于改造而不是惩罚。
Prisoners are super expensive and have very high re-incarceration rates, so we'd focus on treating offenders to keep our city's population safe and sound.
监禁囚犯成本非常昂贵，而且再监禁率非常高，所以我们将重点处理罪犯，以确保我们城市的人口安全和健康。
We'd also keep our city green with street lamps that have sensors to adjust their brightness depending on how many people are out and about, like they do in Amsterdam.
我们还会让我们的城市保持绿色，我们的路灯装有传感器，可以根据外出人数调整亮度，就像阿姆斯特丹的路灯一样。
In order to keep the cost of living down, the government would construct many of the apartment buildings and offer them up for sale at a low cost.
为了降低生活成本，政府将建造许多公寓楼，并以低成本出售。
80% of people living in Singapore live in these type of government buildings and it supposedly fosters a nice sense of community and belonging.
生活在新加坡的80%的人住在这种类型的政府大楼里，据说它能培养一种良好的社区意识和归属感。
So why haven't we created the perfect city yet? On paper, it doesn't sound that hard.
那么为什么我们还没有创造出一个完美的城市呢？从纸面上看，这听起来并不难。
But the execution would definitely be costly and require a lot of government collaboration.
但执行起来肯定会耗资巨大，需要政府的大量合作。
It's hard to put a price on a hypothetical city, but based on the costs of other cities constructed from the ground up, it could be anywhere from $20-40 billion.
很难给一个假设的城市定价，但是基于其他城市从头开始建设的成本，这个价格可能在200 - 400亿美元之间。
So, not cheap. One thing's for sure though, if we can get this utopian city funded and up and running, it'd be one amazing place to live.
所以，不便宜。但有一件事是肯定的，如果我们能够为这个乌托邦式的城市提供资金，让它运转起来，那将是一个非常适合居住的地方。
What type of amenities would you want in the perfect city? Also I'm gonna head to the deli down the street, so let me know if you want anything.
在完美的城市里，你想要什么样的便利设施？我还要去街边的熟食店，如果你需要什么，请告诉我。
