美国企业号是宇宙飞船，官方名称是“星舰”。比现在的海军巡洋舰有点大，它是Starfleet服务中规模最大，最现代化的船只。它有一个430人的船员，其中约三分之一是女性。
The U.S.S. Enterprise is a spaceship, official designation "starship." Somewhat larger than a present-day naval cruiser, it is the largest and most modern type vessel in the Starfleet Service. It has a crew of 430 persons, approximately one-third of them female.
船的“碟”部分（在其顶部是我们的指挥桥）在中心是十一个甲板厚，两个发动机舱附接的工程部分同样大而复杂，包含在后面一个大到足以挂接整个舰队的衣架的吊架甲板，可以纵向和横向运行的涡轮升降台互连了这艘巨大船只的每个甲板和隔间。
The "saucer section' of the vessel (at the top of which is our command bridge) is eleven decks thick at the center. The engineering section (to which the two engine nacelles are attached) is equally large and complex, contains at the rear a hanger deck large enough to hanger a whole fleet of today's jet liners. Turbo elevators, which can run both vertically and horizontally, interconnect every deck and compartment of this huge vessel.
企业引擎（两个外舱机舱）使用物质和反物质进行推进，湮灭双重物质，创造出扭曲空间所需的梦幻般的力量，超越光速。
The Enterprise engines (the two outboard nacelles) use matter and anti-matter for propulsion, the annihilation of dual matter creating the fantastic power required to warp space and exceed the speed of light.
企业有二次推进系统。这些是位于“碟碟部分”后部的脉冲发动机（与火箭动力相同的原理）。当使用脉冲发动机时，船速度小于光速。在所有发动机电源完全故障的情况下，船舶的重力和寿命支持系统可以切换到电池电力，满载能力约为一周。
The Enterprise has a secondary propulsion system. These are impulse power engines (same principle as rocket power), located at the rear of the "saucer section." Vessel speed, when using the impulse engine, is less than the speed of light. In case of total failure of all engine power sources, the vessel's gravitational and life support systems can be switched to battery power, with a full-load capacity of about one week.
超光速度或空间扭曲在WARP因素中测量。变形因子一是光速，每秒186,000英里（或每小时超过六百万英里）。变形因数2实际上是光速的8倍;变形因子三是光速的二十四倍;变形因子四是光速的六十四倍，依此类推。最大安全速度为六号。
Hyper-light speeds or space warp are measured in WARP FACTORS. Warp Factor one is the speed of light?186,000 miles per second (or somewhat over six million miles per hour). Warp Factor two is actually eight times the speed of light; Warp Factor three is twenty-four times the speed of light; Warp Factor four is sixty-four times the speed of light, and so on. Maximum safe speed is Warp six.
即使是游艇特许巡航也无法与像“企业”这样的星舰相媲美。豪华的游艇租赁可能被认为是在地球上豪华的旅行，但星舰是太空旅行中奢华的高度。
Even a yacht charter cruise cannot compare to the smooth ride of a starship like the Enterprise. A luxury yacht charter may be considered luxurious travel on Earth, but a starship is the height of luxury in space travel.
