10-Year-Old Boy Invents A Genius Device To Stop Children Dying In Hot Cars After His Neighbor’s Death

邻居死后，十岁男孩发明了一个天才装置以防儿童闷死在车里



According to statistics, since 1998 around 712 children are thought to have died from heatstroke in the US alone after being left in hot vehicles. But thanks to one bright 10-year-old boy called Bishop Curry from McKinney, Texas, tragic and preventable deaths like these could soon be a thing of the past.

据统计，1998年以来，据认为单单在美国就有大约712名儿童因为被闷在车里而中暑死亡。但是因为一名聪明的十岁小男孩Bishop Curry，来自德州麦金尼，这种悲剧的可预防的死亡或许将成为历史。

The fifth grader has invented something called the Oasis, a clever little gadget that monitors the temperature inside the car. Once it gets to a certain level, the device emits cool air while simultaneously alerting parents and authorities via an antenna. The idea for the Oasis came to Bishop after he learned that his neighbour’s 6-month-old infant had died from being in an overheated car, and although he only has a 3-D clay model of the device at the moment, he and his father have so far managed to raise over $24,000 for their invention on GoFundMe. The money will go towards manufacturing the device as well as securing the patent for it, so if you haven’t already, head on over to their fundraising page and help to bring this brilliant project to life.

这个五年级学生发明的东西叫做Oasis，一种聪明的小装置，可以监视车里的温度。一旦温度达到某个程度，它就会喷出冷气并通过天线向父母和当局发出警报。他在得知自己邻居6个月大的婴儿闷死在车里后才有了这个创意，虽然现在还只是一个3D的粘土模型，但是他和父亲目前已经在GoFundMe众筹网上获得了2.4万美元的资金。这些钱将用来制造这种小设备以及专利申请，所以如果你还没捐款的话赶紧行动吧，帮助实现这个绝妙的项目。

The problem is bad parenting.... You can never substitute that with a tool.

问题在于糟糕的父母。。。父母的责任无法用任何工具替代。

Even the best parents make mistakes. Ones they have to live with for a lifetime. There but for the grace of god go I (and I'm not religious)

即使是最好的父母也会犯错误。这是他们无法改变的。为了上帝的荣耀（我不信教）

Even if this doesn't work out well, I see better things down the road. He really is a genius. His home made trebuchet, and his mastery of English, at his young age, tend to set him apart.

即使这玩意不完美，我也觉得以后会越来越好。他真是个天才。他的自制投石机，他对英语的掌握，年纪轻轻，与众不同。

He has a good heart and means well. I hope he never stops caring to find ways to make our world better and safer.

他心地善良，怀有善意。希望他继续努力，让这个世界更美好更安全。

Here is a solution, don't leave living things in vehicles on a hot day. Sad that a child had to come up with this because people are so irresponsible. I applaud his effort it's just sad.

这里有一个解决方案：不要将活物留在酷暑天的车里。就因为大人的不负责任导致孩子遭受那样的惨剧，太悲哀了。我很赞赏他的这个创意。

The vast majority of these accidents aren't intentional. They most often occur when there is a change in either the parent or the child's schedule and a different parent is supposed to take them to daycare. Don't be so quick to judge.

大部分的这类事故不是故意的。通常是父母的日程或者小孩的日程发生变化，所以父母在由谁送孩子上日托这件事情上没沟通好才导致的。所以不要那么快下结论。

Hmm, there's no information about how it would create cold air and something that small doesn't look like it could do that to any significant degree. It's a bit odd to report this without this important information.

没有说明这个装置怎么产生冷气，而且这么小感觉效果不大。这么重要的信息没提供，所以这篇报道还真是奇葩。

Cute kid and sweet idea but not exactly viable from a technical perspective. Should he be praised for his kindness and initiative? Yes. Does this merit a gofundme campaign that raises tens of thousands of dollars? No.

可爱的孩子，美好的想法，但是从技术角度来看不太可行。他的善良和倡议应该受到赞扬？是的。应该为此发起众筹筹得几万美元？不应该。

" he only has a 3-D clay model of the device at the moment" Well if you don't at least have a working prototype, you haven't invented shit, just came up with a nifty idea.

现在还只是一个3D的粘土模型，至少得是一个可行的原型，否则的话就不叫发明，还只是个想法而已。

There is another thing that could prevent children from dying in hot cars: DON'T LEAVE YOUR CHILDREN IN A HOT CAR, YOU FUCKING IDIOTS!

还有一种办法可以阻止儿童被闷死在汽车里：你们这些白痴，不要把孩子留在闷热的汽车里。

It's sad we have to invent devices to prevent kids/animals dying because their parents/owners are simply stupid and have no imagination.

就因为父母/主人愚蠢没有想象力，导致我们不得不发明装置防止小孩/动物死亡，太悲哀了。

I am a mom of 5. I don't think I've ever had a quiet moment which would lead me to forget my kids were in the car, or the house, or .... anywhere. In fact, it is when it is quiet - I know to be alarmed. Yes, I do understand busy but... taking a moment to look over your vehicle - inside and out before rushing forward > can save lives. My kids are grown > but I still do it - preparing for my senior years. I really want to keep driving but I want to be responsible and not cause harm. You know?

我有5个孩子，我从来没有将孩子单独留在车里或者房子里，所以我感觉自己没有一刻是清静的。事实上，如果我的周围很安静的话，我会很警觉。我知道人们很忙，但是我总是会先看看车里车外，再开车。
