A new project hopes to use pedal power to help free China of smog.
一项新的计划希望利用自行车帮助中国除霾。
The Smog Free Bicycle will absorb carbon and other particles from the atmosphere in major cities like Beijing.
该除霾自行车可吸收北京等主要城市空气中的碳及其他微粒。
The plans are part of a wider project that includes towers which use the technology, with the pollutants they collect then turned into jewellery.
这些计划是一个更广泛的项目的一部分，该项目还包括能利用科技将收集的污染物制成珠宝的除霾塔。
Dutch artist and designer Daan Roosegaarde who kick-started the scheme has signed a deal with Chinese bike-sharing startup OFO to make the Smog Free Bicycle a reality.
荷兰艺术家、设计师丹o罗斯加德启动了该方案，且已与中国新兴共享单车企业OFO签署协议，旨在将除霾自行车变为现实。
The innovative bike will feature a front facing module that inhales polluted air, cleans it, and then releases clean air around the cyclist.
该创新单车的特点是，车身有一个朝前的组件，可吸收并净化污浊空气，而后在骑车者周围释放洁净的空气。
It is hoped it will provide a healthy and energy friendly option for city dwellers, which will help to combat both traffic congestion and pollution.
人们希望除霾自行车会给城市居民提供一个健康节能的出行选择，有助于缓解交通拥堵并减轻环境污染。
The partnership was announced at the World Economic Forum, held in Dalian in China.
在中国大连举行的夏季达沃斯论坛上，共享单车公司OFO和罗斯加德宣布建立合作关系。
The bikes are currently in the first stage of development, but further details will be released about its design and implementation in the autumn.
目前，除霾自行车计划尚在研发初期，不过今年秋季将公布更多关于其设计和实施的细节。
During the summit Mr Roosegaarde emphasised his vision for Schoonheid, a Dutch word meaning beauty and cleanliness.
论坛期间，罗斯加德强调了他的愿景??“Schoonheid”，一个荷兰单词，意思是美丽和洁净。
'True beauty is clean air and it should not be taken for granted', he said.

The smog which is harvested by the machine is compressed into cubes that are used to make quirky jewellery.
除霾塔收集的雾霾会被压制成小方块，这些方块可用于制作独特的珠宝。
Each cube is made from smog collected from 35,315 cubic feet (1,000 cubic metres) of poor quality air.
每个方块都由从35315立方英尺（1000立方米）的污浊空气中收集的雾霾制成。
The effect of the Smog Free Tower has been validated by the results compiled by the Eindhoven University of Technology.
