Diapers and Kindles delivered to your doorstep not by truck, not by plane or train — but by drone?
你能想象一架无人机，而不是卡车、飞机或火车，将你订购的尿布、电子阅读器送到你家门口吗？
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos says that this reality may be just four or five years away.
亚马逊网站首席执行官杰夫·贝索斯称，这一远景有望在四、五年内成为现实。
In a interview with Charlie Rose on CBS’s “60 Minutes” Bezos showed off Amazon-branded drones that he says can travel 10 miles and carry packages weighing up to five pounds to doorsteps in less than 30 minutes.
杰夫·贝索斯日前做客CBS电视台的《60分钟》新闻节目，在与主持人查理·罗斯的交谈中，杰夫展示了亚马逊研发的无人机。他称这台无人机可以在30分钟之内行驶10英里距离，将5磅重以下的包裹送货上门。
“These are octocopters,” Bezos said in the interview. “These are effectively drones, but there’s no reason these can’t be used as delivery vehicles.”
“这是一种八翼无人机，”贝索斯在采访中说，“它们是非常To be efficient的无人机，没有什么理由它们不能用来送货。”
You won’t be seeing them anytime soon — the FAA has yet to release rules about how unmanned flying vehicles may be used — but Bezos said he thinks Amazon could start offering a “Prime Air” service within four or five years.
这种无人机目前还不会被广泛应用，还有待联邦航空局对无人驾驶飞行器的行为规范做出相关规定。但是贝索斯称，四、五年内亚马逊就应该可以开始提供这种“Prime Air”服务。
“It will work, and it will happen,” Bezos said. The truth is that the FAA will ultimately decide that.
贝索斯说，“这种运输方式不仅行之有效的，而且具备现实的条件。” 此言是否属实，最终还得须由联邦航空局来决定。
