英语新闻听写 以塑料为原料的衣服 让你清凉一整夏!（在线收听）

Engineers at Stanford University developed a plastic-based textile that can be woven into fabric for clothing, in order to help people in hot climates stay cool without air conditioning. The new clothing material cools the body more than synthetic or other natural fabrics that are used to make clothes we see today. Yi Cui, Associate professor of Materials Science and Engineering said, "If you can cool the person rather than the building where they work or live, that will save energy," The new material is based off polyethylene. According to the report, wearers would feel nearly 4 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than in cotton clothing. The research team plans to add more colors, textures and clothing characteristics to their new material.

斯坦福大学的工程师们开发了一种以塑料为原材料的纺织品，可以织进布料中制作衣服，为了让热带地区的人们没有空调也能感受到凉爽。这种新型衣服材料的降温效果比我们现在用来制作衣服的人工纤维或其它天然纤维效果更好。材料科学与工程学副教授奕翠说，“如果你能够给人降温而不是给他们工作和生活的房子降温，那样会节省能源。”这种新型材料的基础是聚乙烯。根据这份报告，穿着这种材料的人会比穿棉制品的人感觉凉快4华氏摄氏度。研究团队打算给这种新材料添加更多颜色、图案以及服装特点。
