计算机眼镜 Computer glasses

Hello and welcome to 6 Minute English, I’m Finn and with me is Neil .
大家好，欢迎收听本期BBC六分钟英语。我是Finn，这是我的搭档Neil。
Hello.
你好。
And, we have a technology theme today – Neil, you carry a smartphone, don’t you?
今天我们要谈论的话题和技术有关。Neil，你用的智能手机，对吧？
Yes – my phone can take photos and search the internet, I can watch videos, send messages and even…hang on (phone rings)
是啊，我手机能拍照上网、观看视频、发送短信，还可以。。。额，等下（电话铃响起）
Even make phone calls?
打电话吗？
Sorry about that.
刚刚不好意思啊。
And – I can see that you are wearing a very fine pair of glasses.
没事。对了，Neil，你今天戴的眼镜很不错嘛。
Why thank you. They do make me quite… handsome, don’t you think?
谢谢夸奖。让我看起来很帅气，是吧？
Of course. But how would you like to combine the two things – put them together?
当然。但你能把这两样东西结合起来吗？换句话说，把它们放在一起？
Combine my smartphone and glasses?
智能手机和眼镜？
Well, that’s what Google hope people will do. Their new product Google Glass is a kind of small computer you wear on your face.
是的，这正是谷歌所想。你现在戴的，就是它们的新产品——小型计算机谷歌眼镜。
Yes, several companies are now developing wearable tech – that’s technology you can wear – just like my glasses.With Google Glass, when you wear them you can see the real world, as normal, but also a small kind of computer screen, hanging in space…
没错，几家公司正在研发可穿戴技术，比如我的眼镜。戴上它，你可看到真实世界。它不仅可作为普通眼镜，还可作为腾空计算机屏幕。
Interesting, isn’t it? And it makes me think of an action movie.
很有趣吧？这让我想起一部动作片。
Neil, which action movie character had special eyes that were like computers – giving information about the world around him?
Neil，哪部电影中角色拥有像计算机一样的眼睛，可为他提供周边世界信息？
That’s a difficult question. I’m not sure, science - fiction is not my favourite type of movie. I will say, though, Terminator.
这个问题很难。我也不确定，因为平常不太喜欢看科幻电影。不过，我觉得是终结者吧。
Ok, you’re not a science fiction fan. We’ll find out at the end of the programme if that was right.First, let’s take a closer look at the se specs – or glasses - themselves.
的确，你不是科幻电影影迷。节目最后我会揭晓答案。首先，咱俩来详细谈谈眼镜。
We don’t have a pair, but our BBC colleague Rory Cellan- Jones went to Google to try a pair out.Now listen carefully - which three different things does he do with them ?
我们现在没有，不过BBC同事Rory Cellan- Jones前往谷歌公司试戴了一次。现在仔细听，看他用眼镜做了什么事？
Ok Glass. Take a picture! There, I’ve got a picture of the cameraman. I’m going to go back.OK Glass. Let’s record a video. I’m now recording everybody that’s in this room. And I’m going to stop that.How do I say ’thank you for the flowers’ in Japanese? Hana arigatou gozaimashita. Excellent, so I can now speak Japanese via these glasses.
眼镜，来拍张照！好的，得到张摄影师照片。现在请返回。眼镜，来拍段视频！现在，我正拍摄屋里的每个人。好了，就拍到这。我该怎样用日语说“谢谢你的花？” Hana arigatou gozaimashita。太棒了，我现在可以用眼镜说日语了。
So, which different things did Rory Cellan- Jones do?
那么，Rory Cellan- Jones刚做了哪几件不同事？
Did you hear them? Number one - he took a picture:
你听到了么？首先，他拍了张照片。
Take a picture!
来拍张照！
Number two – he recorded a video:
其次，他拍了段视频。
Let’s record a video.
来拍段视频。
And three…
最后。。。
How do I say ’thank you for the flowers’ in Japanese?
我该怎样用日语说“谢谢你的花？”
He learned how to say a phrase in Japanese.
他学会了一个日语短语。
Very good, yes. Neil, I know you speak Japanese, what was the phrase?
很好，Neil，我知道你会日语，那个短语怎么说？
Oh right. It was: hana arigatou gozaimashita.
是：hana arigatou gozaimashita。
Wonderful pronunciation.
发音不错！
Hana arigatou gozaimashita.
hana arigatou gozaimashita
Which means ’thank you for the flowers’. But anyway let’s get back to English!
意思就是“谢谢你的花”。不管它，咱们还是说回英语吧。
With all the things these glasses can do, some people find them creepy – a bit strange and scary.
一些人认为，眼镜能做这些事情很奇怪，甚至有点可怕。
Yes, because you can use them while walking along the street,for example, nobody will know what you’re doing, and some people are worried that they might be used to find out information about their private, or personal lives.
是啊，因为走在街上便可用它。没人知道你在做什么。有人担心用此种眼镜可获取他们的私人信息。
Some are concerned about drivers using the glasses – saying it could be dangerous when driving.
还有人担心司机使用这种眼镜，称开车会很危险。
And casinos – places where people play games – like card games – to win money, are concerned they could be used to cheat.Anyway, what do you think about them Neil?
赌场（人们玩游戏赢钱的地方）则担心人们用此种眼镜作弊。不管怎样，Neil，你认为它们怎样？
I have to say I don’t like the idea.
我只能说，不太喜欢这个想法。
OK, why?
好吧，为什么？
Because I like to be separate from technology sometimes. I’m worried that my brain will stop working if I have a computer on my head.
因为有时，我喜欢远离技术。我害怕头上有计算机后，大脑会停止思考。
If there’s a computer in your head, you might become a cyborg, which is part man, part machine.
嗯，如果你头上有计算机，那就成为半机械人了，即一半人，一半机器的结合体。
Which takes me back to the question I asked you earlier, what was the name of the action movie where there was a character with a robot eye?
这倒让我想起了最开始问你的问题。哪部电影里的角色带有机器人眼睛？
I said Terminator.
我说是终结者。
That was absolutely correct, very good. The Terminator with ’Terminator vision’.So, what do you think of Google Glass and wearable tech in general?Let us know on the BBC Learning English Facebook page. Now, Neil, could you remind us of some of today’s language?
完全正确，非常棒。终结者里有种电子隐形眼镜。那么，大家认为谷歌眼镜和可穿戴技术怎样呢？请在BBC英语Facebook上留言，讲出你的想法。好了，Neil，带我们回顾下今天听到的短语吧？
smartphone, to combine, wearable tech, specs, creepy, private, casino, cyborg.
smartphone（智能手机）, to combine（结合）, wearable tech（可穿戴技术）, specs（眼镜）, creepy（奇怪的，令人毛骨悚然的）, private（私人的）, casino（赌场）, cyborg（半机械人）
