不知道你有沒有過自行車被偷的經(jīng)歷？根據(jù)調(diào)查，在美國(guó)每年至少有150萬輛自行車被偷！來自美國(guó)舊金山的丹尼爾歷時(shí)六個(gè)月，想到了一個(gè)狠招：小偷會(huì)把鎖鋸開，那如果讓鎖即使被鋸開也還是能防盜，問題不就解決了嗎？

The aptly-named SkunkLock is an ingenious bicycle lock that blasts would-be thieves with a disgusting cocktails of chemicals that most of the time causes them to vomit uncontrollably.
“臭鎖”是一種有創(chuàng)意的自行車鎖，恰如其名，它會(huì)向想要偷車的賊噴一種令人惡心的氣體，大多數(shù)時(shí)候會(huì)讓他們控制不住地嘔吐。

When San Francisco-based Daniel Idzkowski learned that over 1.5 million bikes are being stolen across the United States, every year, he decided it was up to him to come up with a more efficient means of theft prevention. After six months of work, he came up with the SkunkLock, a hollow steel U-lock system which houses presurized noxious chemical deterrent that’s even detectable through some of the most advanced gas masks. The proprietary formula, known as D_1, was developed by Idzkowski and his partner Yves Perrenoud, and is perfectly legal.
當(dāng)美國(guó)舊金山人丹尼爾-伊茲柯夫斯基了解到每年美國(guó)有150萬輛自行車被偷走之后，他決定想出更有效的防賊方法。經(jīng)過六個(gè)月的辛苦努力，他做出了臭鎖，這種空心鋼U型鎖中存有加壓的有毒化學(xué)物質(zhì)，即便某些最先進(jìn)的防毒面具也無法抵抗它的威力。這種名為D_1的專利配方由丹尼爾與他的合伙人伊夫斯-佩勒努共同研發(fā)，并且它符合美國(guó)法律規(guī)定。

The SkunkLock is made out of hardened medium-carbon steel that exceeds 450 brinell, and is painted in black and white stripes reminiscent of a skunk. They hope that the pattern and SkunLock logo will scare away thieves, but if they insist on cutting through it, they will be in for a nasty surprise. The smell is apparently so bad that it will stun perpetrators and cause them to either run in disgust or vomit almost instantly. And if they somehow find away to avoid the smell, it will certainly catch the attention of passers-by and increase the chances of preventing the theft.
臭鎖由硬化中碳鋼制作而成，其硬度超出450布氏硬度，臭鎖的黑白花紋會(huì)讓人聯(lián)想到臭鼬。他們希望這種花紋和臭鎖的商標(biāo)能夠嚇走偷車賊，但如果偷車賊堅(jiān)持要剪斷車鎖，那么他們就會(huì)收到難聞的驚喜。車鎖里面化學(xué)物質(zhì)的味道如此難聞，它會(huì)把偷車賊臭暈，并讓他們惡心地逃走或者立即嘔吐。即便偷車賊不知怎的找到了避開難聞氣味的方法，這種臭味也會(huì)引起路人的注意，增加偷車賊偷車的難度。

“No lock can guarantee someone will not go the extra mile to steal your bike or motorcycle, especially if it’s expensive and worth the risk,” the SkunkLock team claims. “However, the SkunkLock does provide you the best chance of deterring theft by being the least attractive lock to compromise on your block. Thieves will generally take a slightly less profitable bike if the risk is significantly less. If a thief compromises the SkunkLock, not only are they exposing themselves to noxious chemicals, someone nearby may be asking what that smell is.”
制作臭鎖的團(tuán)隊(duì)表示：“沒有鎖能夠保證自行車和摩托車不會(huì)被偷走，當(dāng)車子非常昂貴且值得冒險(xiǎn)的時(shí)候尤為如此。然而，安裝了臭鎖，你的車就成為街區(qū)中賊最不愿去偷的車，是防止車輛被盜的最好辦法。通常情況下，如果風(fēng)險(xiǎn)能大幅降低，偷車賊就會(huì)去偷盜一輛獲利略微減少的自行車。如果偷車賊決定對(duì)付臭鎖，那么他們不僅要聞?dòng)卸净瘜W(xué)物質(zhì)的氣味，還必須接受路人的盤問?！?/p>

In case you’re afraid the SkunkLock might malfunction and accidentally release the gas in your face, its creators assure us that the only way to puncture the hollow chamber inside is by attempting to cut through it. And just so you never have to do that yourself, they are issuing a standard unique code for each unit sold that can be used to request additional keys in case you misplace the original. The company even offers an overnight key shipping option.
為免你擔(dān)心臭鎖失靈并意外將臭氣噴到你的臉上，其創(chuàng)造者們向我們保證只有剪斷車鎖，里面的臭氣才會(huì)跑出來。為了防止你不得不因?yàn)閬G失車鑰匙而自己剪斷臭鎖，他們還會(huì)給每把鎖配備唯一識(shí)別碼，你可以借此找他們要備用鑰匙。該公司甚至提供隔夜郵寄服務(wù)。

Bike thieves will be relieved to hear that they won’t need to worry about the SkunkLock about another year. Idzkowski and Perrenoud are currently seeking to crowdfund their product through Indiegogo. Their goal is $20,000, of which they’ve only managed to raise $5,598, with a month left to go. If the campaign is successful, they estimate SkunkLock will be available in June 2017.
偷車賊們聽說這種臭鎖不會(huì)很快面市的消息后，肯定都松了一口氣。最近丹尼爾和伊夫斯正在Indiegogo上眾籌，他們的目標(biāo)是兩萬美元，但他們現(xiàn)在只籌集到了5598美元，籌集時(shí)間只剩一個(gè)月了。如果眾籌成功的話，他們估計(jì)臭鎖將在2017年6月面市。
