双语军事新闻：无孔不入的蝇式间谍

　　Just below a half-opened garage door a tiny device can be seen at the feet of someone lurking in the shadows. It looks like a blue dragonfly. Then its miniature wings begin to flap as it slips under the door and darts along the street. After rising through the air it stops to hover outside the window of a building several storeys high. There is an opening on the roof, and it slips inside. As it flits from room to room its video-camera “eye” transmits pictures to a screen on a remote-control unit strapped to the wrist of its clandestine operator.

　　This is not a scene from a James Bond film, in which 007 tests a new device from “Q”, but an animated video produced by Onera, France's national aerospace centre, to explain REMANTA, a project to develop the technologies needed for miniature robotic aircraft. More bug-like flying devices are being developed in other research laboratories around the world. A few are already small enough to be carried in a briefcase; others are the size of a jet fighter and need a runway for take-off.

　　就在半开的车库门下面，一个微小的装置出现在躲藏在阴暗处的某人的脚边。它看上去像只蓝色蜻蜓。当它从门下溜出后，它的微型翅膀开始扑闪并沿着街道飞去。在空气中上升后，它在一幢几层楼高的建筑物的窗前停止升高，进入盘旋状态。屋顶上有一处裂缝，它钻了进去。当它从一个房间飞到另一个房间时，它的摄像头将图片传输到了它的秘密操纵者手腕上的一个遥控装置的屏幕上。

　　这不是《詹姆斯·邦德》电影中007测试从“Q”那里拿来的新装置的一个场景，而是一部由法国国家宇航中心制作的动画片，用以解释REMANTA发展微型机器人飞行器所需的技术。世界上其他的实验室正在发展更多的像小虫一样的飞行装置。有一些已经小到可以放在手提箱中；另一些大小与喷气式飞机差不多，需借助跑道来起飞。
