伟大的赛车手马尔科姆·坎贝尔爵士是第一个以超过每小时300英里的速度驾车的人。
The great racing driver, Sir Malcolm Campbell, was the first man to drive at over 300 miles per hour.
1935年9月，他在犹他州博纳维尔盐滩创下了新的世界纪录。
He set up a new world record in September 1935 at Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah.
"蓝鸟"号——他当时驾驶的那辆车——是专门为他建造的。
Bluebird, the car he was driving, had been specially built for him.
它车身超过30英尺长，配备了一台2500马力的发动机。
It was over 30 feet in length and had a 2,500-horsepower engine.
尽管坎贝尔达到了超过每小时304英里的速度，但由于第一次试跑时轮胎爆了，他很难控制住汽车。
Although Campbell reached a speed of over 304 miles per hour, he had great difficulty in controlling the car because a tyre burst during the first run.
尝试结束后，坎贝尔失望地得知，他的平均速度只有每小时299英里。
After his attempt, Campbell was disappointed to learn that his average speed had been 299 miles per hour.
然而，几天后，他被告知，此前有过一个错误。
However, a few days later, he was told that a mistake had been made.
他的平均速度其实是每小时301英里。
His average speed had been 301 miles per hour.
从那时起，赛车手们已经达到了超过每小时600英里的速度。
Since that time, racing drivers have reached speeds over 600 miles an hour.
许多年后，效仿父亲的足迹，马尔科姆爵士的儿子唐纳德也创下了一项世界纪录。
Following in his father's footsteps many years later, Sir Malcolm's son, Donald, also set up a world record.
和父亲一样，他驾驶的也是一辆名叫"蓝鸟"的赛车。
Like his father, he was driving a car called Bluebird.
