Good design is about comfort. It's about space and it's having those unexpected details that offer something different.
好的設計重點在於舒適度，在於空間，以及讓人意想不到的細節，為人帶來不同的體驗。

4
00:00:21.976 --> 00:00:27.259
As you enter the airplane, we should be going through hotel lobbies and not restaurant kitchens.
你一上飛機，應該是穿越飯店大廳而不是餐廳廚房。

5
00:00:27.752 --> 00:00:35.835
We should be going to lavatories that are of five-star hotel quality with little features that make you have a sense of upgrade.
我們上的廁所應該要有五星級飯店的品質，其中有些小特色能夠讓你有升級的感覺。

6
00:00:37.244 --> 00:00:42.155
At the heart -- or the bottom -- are seats, seats and more seats.
核心重點——或者說臀心重點——就是座椅、座椅，還是座椅。

00:00:42.246 --> 00:00:45.373
It's the cabin's most essential bit of kit.
座椅是座艙裡最重要的配備。

9
00:00:53.148 --> 00:00:55.373
others merely evolutionary.
另外有些設計則純粹只是進化了而已。

10

At four kilos, these are the lightest seats in the sky.

Joyful news to a budget carrier's ears and bottom line. 
在平價航空公司耳裡不但是好消息，對於其財務盈虧更是佳音。

12
00:01:05.302 --> 00:01:09.267
The airlines are trying to pack more and more passengers on the same airplane.
航空公司企圖在同一架飛機上塞進愈來愈多的乘客，

13
00:01:09.870 --> 00:01:13.243
Why isn't it possible to give more comfort?

We tried to work on the back shell, on the seat pan, on everything.

這麼一來，就少了一層累贅。目標達成。

17
00:01:31.070 --> 00:01:38.785
From here with each step up in the cabin class, not only does cost go up, so does complexity.
從這裡開始，艙等每上升一級，不但價格提高，複雜度也隨之增加。

18
00:01:39.440 --> 00:01:45.346
This retractable seat pan gives that passenger the ability to step back into the seat.
這種可內收的座墊可讓乘客退至座位中。

19
00:01:45.748 --> 00:01:48.386
That can speed up boarding and also just adds to the comfort.
這項設計不但能夠加快登機速度，也有助於提高舒適度。

One growing issue for the plane's smaller seats -- increasingly larger behinds.
飛機愈來愈小的座椅有一個愈來愈大的問題，就是乘客日益增大的屁股。

With passengers growing ever wider, Airbus is adding an extra inch and trying to set new industry standards.
由於乘客的體型愈來愈寬廣，空中巴士因此把座椅的寬度額外增加了一英寸，並且企圖為業界立下新標準。

23
00:02:10.127 --> 00:02:20.888
There is value in that extra one inch, and it actually increases the amount of time that they spend asleep and it also increases the quality of sleep that they have.
額外增加一英寸有其價值，實際上能夠增加乘客用在睡眠的時間，也能夠提高他們的睡眠品質。

商務艙約為五萬美元，頭等艙則是二十五萬美元，

26
00:02:31.579 --> 00:02:35.421
probably the most expensive real estate on the planet.
大概可算是全球最昂貴的不動產。

00:02:36.107 --> 00:02:40.107
And here, as you'd expect, it's Park Avenue on a plane,
而這邊，如同你所預期的，算是飛機上的公園大道了，

00:02:40.628 --> 00:02:45.768
now with true private suites -- double beds and videoconferencing.
有如假包換的私人套房——雙人床與視訊會議。

29

For us mere mortals, we'll have to settle for the plain old screen in the back of the seat -- with a few little added extras.

We've integrated into these things like the reading lights --

32
00:03:06.007 --> 00:03:09.694
so now without the light coming above... from above you and disturbing other passengers --
所以現在燈光不會從上面……從上面投射下來而對其他乘客造成干擾，

33
00:03:10.036 --> 00:03:13.402
and also integrating [integrated] into the bottom of the screen, mood lightings.

35
00:03:18.356 --> 00:03:20.511
This is what we call a star ceiling.
這就是我們所謂的星光天花板。

36
00:03:21.135 --> 00:03:28.640
Then we just have the general cabin illumination, only with the advantage now that you can have all colors you want to have.
然後，我們還有一般機艙照明，不過現在多了一個優點，可以呈現出你想要的各種顏色。

37
00:03:28.729 --> 00:03:36.697
With all these never-ending possibilities and products on display, someone has to combine them into one cohesive vision.
看著展示的這些無窮無盡可能性與產品，必須要有人以整體的眼光將它們結合起來。
