Red Hot Seat Surprises Man

Narrator: Let's go jogging. We're so full of energy!

Electricity is full of energy too. It moves. Think of water flowing in a river. That's how electricity moves.
電力充滿能量，電力流動的方式就像水在河裡流動一樣。

Circuits start and end in the same place. Running tracks are circuits. Hey … let's jog on a circuit! We can jog around and around and around… Circuits help electricity flow safely around and around.
Circuit指的是環形的路線，像是操場跑道。Electric circuits則是電路，讓電流穩定流動。

Electric particles: Oh, there's a shorter way to go! Let's take it!

Narrator: When electricity finds a shorter way to go, it takes it. This is called a short circuit. Short circuits can be very dangerous. They make electricity flow faster! This makes lots of heat. Too much heat can start a fire!
當電力找到更短的路線的時候，就會發生短路，導致過熱而電線走火。

Anything electric can short circuit… Smart toilets can!
任何電器都有可能短路，智慧馬桶也會喔!

Thanks to electricity, smart toilets have nice, warm seats. Smart toilets wash your bottom. Some dry it too. Some can play your favorite songs!
智慧馬桶因為電力可以暖座、沖洗、烘乾，甚至可以播放你喜歡的歌。

In China, a smart toilet short-circuited. It started a big fire! A man was surprised… but not hurt.
在中國，有個智慧馬桶因為短路而燒了起來，幸好沒有人受傷。

But don't worry. Short circuits in smart toilets almost never happen. This toilet wasn't so smart, was it!
