2031年一級方程式賽車新規則
Introduction
The FIA and car companies are talking about new rules for 2031. They want simpler engines and lighter cars.
FIA 與各車廠正在討論 2031 年的新規則。他們希望簡化引擎並減輕車身重量。
Main Body
Some people want V8 engines because they make a loud sound. Mercedes likes this idea. Audi wants turbo engines because they are like road cars. Now, they are talking about a 2.4-litre turbo engine to make everyone happy.
有些人希望使用 V8 引擎，因為其聲浪較大。Mercedes 認同這個想法。Audi 則傾向於渦輪增壓引擎，因為這與道路用車較為相似。目前，他們正在討論採用 2.4 升渦輪增壓引擎，以滿足各方需求。
The FIA wants cars to weigh 700kg. They want cars to get more fuel during the race. This means the fuel tanks can be smaller. But some people do not like this because it is bad for the environment.
FIA 希望將車重控制在 700 公斤。他們希望賽車在比賽過程中能進行加油。這意味著油箱可以縮小。但有些人並不認同，認為這對環境不利。
New engines will cost less money. They will cost 700,000 euros instead of 1.5 million euros. The FIA can make these rules alone, but they want the car companies to agree first.
新引擎的成本將會降低。價格將從 150 萬歐元降至 70 萬歐元。FIA 雖然可以單方面制定這些規則，但他們希望先獲得車廠的同意。

FIA 與各公司仍在協商中。他們希望 2031 年能擁有最優異的引擎與最輕量化的賽車。
Vocabulary Learning
💡 The "Want" Pattern
In this text, we see a very important word for A2 learners: Want.
It is used to describe goals and desires. Look at how it changes based on who is talking:
- They want → simpler engines
- Some people want → V8 engines
- The FIA wants → cars to weigh 700kg
⚖️ Comparing Things
To reach A2, you need to describe differences. The text uses "instead of" to show a change in price:
700,000 euros instead of 1.5 million euros
It means: Not the expensive one, but the cheaper one.
