The Flying Person

People can fly in airplanes... but can people fly without an airplane?
人可以像飛機一樣在空中飛嗎？

No? Actually, the answer is "yes"!

For many years, people have used "wingsuits" to help them stay in the air for
a long time.

They look like flying squirrels! 看起來就像飛鼠。

But you can't fly forever. After a while, you have to use a parachute and
come back down to earth. 可是沒辦法飛很久，就需要用降落傘回到地面。

But, a man in Austria did something really cool. He used an electric motor
and a wingsuit! 有個奧地利男子，用電動馬達，做電動飛鼠裝！

The wingsuit helps him stay in the air and the electric motor pushes him
forward!

And that's real flying! It's fast too!

His electric motor can help him fly as fast as Taiwan's High-Speed Rail!
電動飛鼠裝讓他在空中飛得像台灣高鐵一樣快。

So, maybe one day… you and I could be able to fly without an airplane!
說不定有一天，我們不用搭飛機，就可以在空中飛。

Would you like to try it? I would! Yeah! I want to fly! I would fly all over
Taiwan. It would be so cool!
