US Fire, Police Departments Welcome China’s DJI Drones, Despite Warnings

The recent rescue of a deaf child at Fremont California was possible in part,because of the drones infrared¹ camera that could see the child’s body at night.

最近在加利福尼亚州弗里蒙特市营救一名失聪儿童是可能的，部分原因是无人机的红外摄像头可以在晚上看到孩子的身体。

This eye in the sky offers invaluable² information to first responders. And it comes from DJI, a Chinese drone maker³ that dominates the market. The drones have become an integral part of our day-to-day operations.We use them from everything from all of our fires, no hazardous⁴ material senses to search and rescue.But buying Chinese-made technology has become more fraud.

天空中的这只眼睛为急救人员提供了宝贵的信息。它来自主导市场的中国无人机制造商大疆。无人机已经成为我们日常工作中不可或缺的一部分。我们到处使用它们，从救火，感应非危险物质到搜索和救援。但购买中国制造的技术变得更有欺诈性。

Recently the US department of homeland security repeated warnings that Chinese made drones could transfer US data back to China,accusations that DJI denies. For the Fremont Fire Department, the warnings serve as a reminder⁵ of best practices for storing and transferring information.And so there there are ways that we can localize our data, so that it doesn’t go out.

最近，美国国土安全部多次警告称，中国制造的无人机可能将美国数据传回中国。大疆否认了这一指控。对于弗里蒙特消防部门来说，这些警告是对存储和传输信息的最佳实践的提醒。有很多方法可以数据本地化，让它不会泄露。

You know there are ways we don’t have to be connected to the Internet, we don’t have to transfer things over the Internet. We can isolate⁶ our data within our system. And so we’re confident with that. About a thousand US public safety departments use drones says Romeo Durscher with DJI. The company works with these agencies to train and prepare for disasters such as the wildfires in California.

你知道有些方法我们不需要连接到互联网。我们不需要通过互联网传输东西。我们可以在系统中隔离数据。我们对此很有信心。大疆的Romeo Durscher说，大约有一千个美国公共安全部门使用无人机。该公司与这些机构合作，为加州野火等灾难进行培训和准备。

As the US has raised concerns about drones, DJI has increased the kinds of security and data controls it offers its customers. We are not in the business to control data but we want to give the tools to the operator to say how the data is being stored or processed or Transmitted.And those pieces are in Place.

正如美国对无人机的担忧一样。大疆增加了为客户提供的安全和数据控制的种类。我们的业务不是控制数据，但我们希望为操作人员提供工具，让他们知道数据是如何存储、处理或传输的。这些部分都就位了。

Fremont fire but someday to have hazardous material sensors⁷ on its drones, to know the dangers of a situation before sending in people. And maybe one day autonomous⁸ drones will go out to a scene to take a look before first responders arrive.Drones are only going to become more important to the agency.

弗里蒙特市发生火灾，但有一天，它的无人机上安装了危险物质传感器，在派遣人员之前就知道情况的危险。也许有一天，无人驾驶飞机会在第一批救援人员到达之前先到现场查看一下。无人机对这些机构来说只会变得更重要。

In the next 10 years it will be as common as seeing fire hose on the back of the engine.You’re going to have a drone in there because the intelligence gathered by a drone is you know irreplaceable now. It really has become an everyday tool in everyday technology that saves lives but has also caught up in suspicious between two tech superpowers.

在未来的10年里，这将像在发动机后面看到消防水管一样常见。你会有一架无人机，因为无人机收集的情报是不可替代的。在拯救生命的日常科技领域，它真的已经成为日常的工具。但也陷入了两个科技超级大国之间的猜疑之中。
