导读:还记得小时候看过的小人书，特别是漫画书上，经常出现一种运行在管道中列车。当时觉得很流弊的样子，其实现在看起来已经过时了，来看看最新黑科技。 据每日邮报报道，美国创业家马斯克（Elon Musk）提出的“超级高铁”构想。
Elon Musk’s vision of a Hyperloop transport system that carries passengers in pressurized tubes at near-supersonic speeds is set to be demonstrated in a public test later today.
伊隆·马斯克的“超级高铁构想”于今天进行首次公开演示，它让乘客进入压力管道，以近乎音速的时速运行。
The Paypal founder and boss of SpaceX and Tesla Motors, outlined his futuristic idea in 2013 as a way of carrying passengers from Los Angeles to San Francisco in under 35 minutes.
Paypal的创始人、SpaceX和特斯拉的老板马斯克，在2013年就提出了这个未来主义的概念，构想能有一种方式让乘客从洛杉矶到旧金山只用35分钟。
He challenged innovators to bring the dream to life and Hyperloop Technologies, one of the startups that picked up the gauntlet, is hosting a ’sneak preview of the future of transportation technology’.
马斯克曾鼓励发明家们将其创意变成现实，洛杉矶一家初创企业Hyperloop Technologies就是其中之一，它正在主导尝试对“未来运输技术进行预览”。
It will be showcased in a two-day event billed as involving a demonstration at a test site outside Las Vegas.
它将在美国拉斯维加斯郊区的一个测试场进行为期两天的公开演示。
A series of tweets fired from the Twitter account @HyperloopTech teased ’big announcements you don’t want to miss’ and included a video snippet of construction in the desert.
HyperloopTech已经在Twitter账号上发布了一系列推文，宣传这个“你不能错过的大事件”，同时还上传了沙漠测试场的视频短片。
A caption in the video clip heralded a ’milestone event’ that would be live-tweeted from Las Vegas beginning at Tuesday 5pm PDT (Wednesday 1am BST).
这段视频短片的字幕称，这个“里程碑式的事件”将会于星期二（5月10日）下午5点（太平洋夏令时）在推特上直播（英国夏令时星期三凌晨1点）。
Late last year, Hyperloop chief executive Rob Lloyd said in an online post that the team was working toward a ’Kitty Hawk’ moment in 2016.
去年底，Hyperloop 公司的首席执行官洛伊德就在网上公告 ，他们即将在2016年迎来自己的“基蒂霍克”时刻（背景知识：莱特兄弟1903年于北卡罗来纳的基蒂霍克首次试飞飞机成功）。
The post came with word of an agreement to use an industrial park in the city of North Las Vegas to conduct a Propulsion Open Air Test of the blazingly-fast rail system.
同时还公布了这项协议，将在拉斯维加斯市北部的一个工业园区进行超级高铁的“推进系统户外测试”。
Lloyd described it at the time as a very important step on the way to realizing the full potential of Hyperloop Tech.
当时，洛伊德将此描述为实现公司全部目标的非常重要的一步。
South Africa-born Musk has become one of America’s best-known innovators, having launched a payments company, electric carmaker Tesla Motors, SpaceX and SolarCity, which makes solar panels for homes and businesses.
