Unit 1 Automotive Basics
Automobiles， trucks, and buses are essential forms of transportation. They are complex
machines made up of many parts. These parts can be grouped into a number of systems. An
understanding of how the system work will help you understand how the automobile works.
轿车、卡车和客车是交通运输的重要组成部分.它们都是由许多部件组成的复杂机器.这些部件可以归类为汽
车的几个组成系统。了解这些各个小系统是如何工作的将有助于我们理解整个汽车系统是如何工作。
An automobile can be divided into two basic parts： a body and a chassis. The body is the
enclosure that houses the engine， passengers， and cargo。 It is the part of the automobile that you
see。 The chassis is that part of the automobile beneath the body。
汽车可以分为两个基本部分：车身和底盘。车身包围发动机、乘客和行李，它是汽车你所看到的部分。而
车身以下的部分就是底盘.
1.1 THE BODY An automobile body is a sheet metal shell with windows， doors， a hood, and
a trunk deck built into it。 It provides a protective covering for the engine， passengers， and cargo。
The body is designed to keep passengers safe and comfortable。 For example， insulation in the body
reduces noise and protects against heat and cold。 The body styling provides an attractive， colorful，
modern appearance for the vehicle。 It is streamlined to lessen wind resistance and to keep the car
from swaying at driving speeds。
轿车车身是一个钣金件壳体，它上面有车窗、车门、发送机罩和行李舱门等部件，它给发动机、乘客和行

The automobile body has two basic parts-the upper body and the under body。
车身有两个基本部分-车身上部和车身下部。
1。2 The chassis The chassis is an assembly of those systems that are the major operating parts
of a vehicle。 The chassis includes everything except the body. The three important parts of the
chassis are the frame, the engine， and the power train (also called the drive train). Each of these three
parts is made up of a number of systems. A system is a mechanical or electrical unit that performs a
specific function。 Thus, each system (such as steering， brake， or fuel) has a certain job to do in
running a vehicle。 We shall look at each of these parts and systems to see how they fit together to
form the automobile chassis。
底盘集中了汽车大部分的运动组件，它包括除了车身以外的所有部件。底盘有三个重要的系统:车架、发动
机和传动系统.这三个系统又都有许多个完成某一个特定功能的机械或电气系统组成。为了保证汽车正常运转，
每个系统（比如:转向、制动或燃油系统）都要实现一定的功能。下来我们看看这些系统和组件是如何相互连接
从而组成汽车底盘的。
1.2.1 The frame The first major part of the chassis is the frame。 It is made from tough steel
sections welded, riveted， or bolted together。 The frame looks like a steel ladder， though it
sometime has an X shape for extra strength。 It forms a foundation for the car body and the parts of
the several systems. The body is joined to the frame with bolts. Rubber shock mounts or washers are
used at each joint。 These reduce vibration and road noise。 In most modern cars the frame is built
into the body。 A car with the frame built into the body has a unitized body or unibody。 The frame
supports the suspension system， steering system， and the braking system。
底盘最重要的部分就是车架.车架由钢件通过焊接、铆接或螺栓联接而成，看上去就像一架钢梯。有时为了
