(1.1)
Many (: A great number of)
things
(that) we use today (: nowadays/currently)
run on batteries (以電池為動力發動).
(1.2)
These (This 的複數) (batteries)
are often (adv.) made (V-pp & Adj.)
using lithium-ion (鋰離子) technology,
which is heavy (: 很沉重的) but powerful (: forceful/full of energy).
(1.3)
Unfortunately (: Haplessly),
these batteries
can also be dangerous (危險的).
(1.4)
While (: Although/Though/As)
it’s not a common (: usual/regular) problem (: issue),
lithium-ion batteries can overheat
while (batteries are) charging (充電時) and
(lithium-ion batteries can)
start fires or even explode (: blow off 爆炸).
(1.5)
Electric skateboards, phones
and tablets,
and electronic cigarettes
have all been affected (: badly influenced)
by these terrible failures (失靈).
(1.6)
In some cases (: samples/instances/examples),
the explosions have hurt (: impaired/damaged) people
and damaged (: caused harm or damage to) houses.
Paragraph 2
(2.1)
These fires happen (: take place/occur/break
out)
because (: on account that) the temperature
溫度 inside (prep.) the batteries increases (: goes up) until it’s out of
control (失控).
(2.2)
To stop (: hold back/prevent/keep/deter) explosion
from (免於) happening (: occurring),
engineers (工程師) and scientists
are looking for (: seeking for/searching
for)
new things (: items) to use
when or while (engineers and scientists
are)
making lithium-ion batteries.
(2.3)
Right now, lithium-ion batteries have a
special liquid inside them.
(2.4)
The liquid can store (: save) a lot of
energy (: 能量),
but it can also catch fire (著火).
(2.5)
Replacing (: Taking place of) it (: the liquid)
with
something that doesn’t cause (: give rise
to) a fire
would be safer (更安全些),
but the batteries might not
be as effective (as the original ones).
(2.6)
Maybe (: Perhaps adv.) in the (near or distant 不久的) future (將來),
batteries will be made from
something completely (: entirely/totally/wholly/thoroughly/fully)
fireproof (防火的).
