Three-quarters of agricultural land is used for livestock, for example, so it is easy to see how steaks made from plant-based protein, or grown in vats from cells, could greatly reduce factory farming and land and water use, and produce fewer emissions.
例如，四分之三的农业土地用于饲养牲畜，因此，用植物蛋白制作的，或者由桶中培养的细胞长成的牛排，能够大大减少工厂化养殖、土地和水的使用，并产生更少的排放，这些好处是显而易见的。

At the start of the year, executives at electric carmaker Polestar drew up ambitious sales plans for the UK. Within weeks, they had to tear them up. Demand was rising so quickly that the new targets were a third higher. Today the Volvo-backed company runs around 1,000 test drives a month in the UK alone. Each week, new spaces are booked up within an hour of becoming available.

今年年初，电动汽车制造商北极星的管理层起草了英国地区雄心勃勃的销售计划。不到几周，又不得不全部推翻这些计划。需求上升非常迅速，以至于新目标比之前高出了三分之一。如今，这家沃尔沃投资的公司一个月内仅在英国就进行了上千次试驾。每周，新的试驾机会都会在放出后一小时内被预订一空。
Until four years ago, Polestar specialised in tuning high performance combustion engines: now it has been transformed into one of the companies trying to tap the booming demand for battery cars. “This isn’t the niche market it was two or three years ago,” says Polestar’s UK boss Jonathan Goodman. This extraordinary surge in demand is being felt right across the world, from Shanghai to Stuttgart, Tokyo to Toronto, and from new brands to the established giants of the industry.

直到四年前，北极星都还专门从事高性能内燃机的调校工作，如今，它已转型为一家试图利用电动汽车日益增长的需求的公司。北极星的英国老板乔纳森•古德曼表示:“这不再是两三年前的那个小众市场了。”从上海到斯图加特，从东京到多伦多，从新品牌到行业巨头，全世界都感受到了这种非同寻常的需求激增。
Electric vehicles still only make up about 1 per cent of the global fleet of passenger cars, but sales are taking off rapidly. Within four years, one quarter of new cars bought in China and nearly 40 per cent of those purchased in Germany are expected to be electric, according to BloombergNEF. Global sales of EVs are forecast to reach 10.7m by 2025 and then 28.2m by 2030.

电动汽车仍仅占全球乘用车总量的1%左右，但销量增长迅速。根据彭博社NEF的数据，预计在4年内，中国四分之一的新购车辆会是电动汽车，而德国这一数据将接近40%。预计到2025年，全球电动汽车销量将达到1070万辆，到2030年将达到2820万辆。
Until recently for many drivers, electric vehicles seemed a subject for the future: but now it is commonplace to imagine their next car being electric. Every now and then, a slow-burning shift in the way the world works suddenly starts to gather pace at a rapid rate. That is what is happening with electric vehicles. In a relatively short space of time, the transformation in the auto industry has gone from first gear to fifth.

直到不久前，电动汽车对许多司机来说似乎都是一个遥远的话题：但现在，设想他们的下一辆车是电动汽车是很平常的事。时不时地，世界本来正进行缓慢地转变，却一下子急剧加速起来。这就是电动汽车目前的情况。在相对较短的时间内，汽车行业的转型已经从一档变成了五档。
Given the importance of auto manufacturing to many economies, the shake-up that is starting to convulse the industry has enormous implications for jobs, urban development and even geopolitics.
