[00:00.00]From VOA Learning English, [00:02.68]this is the Technology Report. [00:05.75]You could find all the latest technology products [00:09.75]at the International Consumer Electronics Show [00:13.50]in Las Vegas, Nevada. [00:15.61][Sound] [00:19.10]The show took place in early January. [00:22.06]It was a major event for technology lovers [00:26.12]and product manufacturers alike. [00:29.63]Thousands of people travelled to Las Vegas for the show. [00:33.99]Many businesses were showing products with curved displays, [00:38.90]the rounded edges were on everything, [00:42.41]from televisions to mobile phones. [00:45.51]Sony, Samsung, and LG all displayed [00:50.42]curved ultra-high definition televisions, [00:53.93]some models as big as 279 centimeters. [00:58.79]Bridget Carey is with CNET, an electronics website. [01:04.35]"You can buy a curved TV, [01:05.50]but if you can't decide if you want it flat or not, [01:07.06]you can choose a flexible one. [01:09.37]Curved is supposed to be a more immersive experience [01:12.43]when it surrounds you. [01:13.84]But maybe not everyone wants curved all the time," said Bridget Carey. [01:16.55]Another hot idea was wearable technology. [01:19.99]Sony, Intel, and others demonstrated smart watches [01:25.54]that interact wirelessly with your telephone. [01:29.41]Samsung's Galaxy Gear watch can connect with an automobile [01:34.66]- the BMW i3 electric car. [01:38.42]Bridget Carey says a smart watch is a good idea. [01:43.74]"It has apps now that can give you a quick glance [01:46.79]at the sports score with an ESPN app. [01:49.05]You can see who texted you, what calls you missed," she said. [01:52.56]Self-driving shuttles and solar cars were also on display at the 2014 show. [01:59.47]Car maker Renault demonstrated an electric race car, [02:04.13]that trick excite automobile fans worldwide. [02:08.09]Audi was showing a self-driving A7. [02:12.35]Last year, the technology needed for their driver-less A7 [02:17.17]took up the whole rear end of the car. [02:20.62]This year, the computer is about the size of an Apple iPad. [02:25.93]Another company called Induct showed off its self-piloted shuttle, [02:31.95]called the Navia. [02:33.75]The vehicle is 100 percent electric. [02:37.34]Ford Motors made news with its solar powered car [02:42.38]- the C-MAX Solar Energi. [02:45.04]Ford's Dave McCreadie says the trick is the vehicle's solar canopy. [02:51.20]"It boosts the power of the solar panels by essentially magnifying the sun.

From VOA Learning English, this is the Technology Report.

這里是美國(guó)之音慢速英語(yǔ)科技報(bào)道。

你可以在內(nèi)華達(dá)州拉斯維加斯市的國(guó)際消費(fèi)電子展上找到所有最新的科技產(chǎn)品。這次展覽于一月初舉行，它是科技愛(ài)好者和產(chǎn)品制造商的一大盛事。

Thousands of people travelled to Las Vegas for the show. Many businesses were showing products with curved displays, the rounded edges were on everything, from televisions to mobile phones.

成千上萬(wàn)人去往拉斯維加斯參加這次展覽。許多企業(yè)展出了曲面屏產(chǎn)品，從電視到移動(dòng)電話應(yīng)有盡有。

Bridget Carey is with CNET, an electronics website.

布里奇特·凱里(Bridget Carey)就職于CNET，這是一家電子產(chǎn)品網(wǎng)站。

"You can buy a curved TV, but if you can't decide if you want it flat or not, you can choose a flexible one. Curved is supposed to be a more immersive experience when it surrounds you. But maybe not everyone wants curved all the time," said Bridget Carey.

她說(shuō)，“如果你無(wú)法決定是否購(gòu)買一臺(tái)平面電視，你可以選擇購(gòu)買一臺(tái)可以彎曲的曲面電視。據(jù)稱曲面電視圍繞著你，可以給你更加身臨其境的體驗(yàn)。但不是所有人都想購(gòu)買曲面電視。”

Another hot idea was wearable technology.

另一大熱點(diǎn)是可穿戴技術(shù)。

Sony, Intel, and others demonstrated smart watches that interact wirelessly with your telephone. Samsung's Galaxy Gear watch can connect with an automobile - the BMW i3 electric car.

索尼、英特爾和其它公司展示了可以和電話無(wú)線交互的智能手表。三星的Galaxy Gear手表可以和寶馬的i3電動(dòng)汽車連接。

Bridget Carey says a smart watch is a good idea.

凱里表示智能手表是個(gè)好點(diǎn)子。

"It has apps now that can give you a quick glance at the sports score with an ESPN app. You can see who texted you, what calls you missed," she said.

她說(shuō)：“它現(xiàn)在有各種應(yīng)用程序，通過(guò)ESPN的應(yīng)用程序可以快速瀏覽體育比賽的比分。你可以看到誰(shuí)給你發(fā)了短信和漏接了什么電話。”

Self-driving shuttles and solar cars were also on display at the 2014 show. Car maker Renault demonstrated an electric race car, that trick excite automobile fans worldwide.

無(wú)人駕駛汽車和太陽(yáng)能汽車也在這次2014年展覽上展出。汽車制造商雷諾公司展出了一款電動(dòng)賽車，這招震撼了全世界的車迷。

Audi was showing a self-driving A7. Last year, the technology needed for their driver-less A7 took up the whole rear end of the car. This year, the computer is about the size of an Apple iPad.

奧迪展出了一款無(wú)人駕駛的A7汽車。去年，這款無(wú)人駕駛的A7汽車所需的技術(shù)設(shè)備占據(jù)了整個(gè)汽車尾部。今年，它所需的計(jì)算機(jī)只有蘋(píng)果iPad大小。

Another company called Induct showed off its self-piloted shuttle, called the Navia. The vehicle is 100 percent electric.

另一家名為Induct的公司推出了它的無(wú)人駕駛汽車，這款全電動(dòng)的汽車被稱為Navia。

Ford Motors made news with its solar powered car - the C-MAX Solar Energi. Ford's Dave McCreadie says the trick is the vehicle's solar canopy.

福特汽車公司以其太陽(yáng)能汽車C-MAX Solar Energi引爆熱點(diǎn)。福特公司的戴夫·麥克格雷迪(Dave McCreadie)表示，其關(guān)鍵之處是這輛車的太陽(yáng)能頂棚。

"It boosts the power of the solar panels by essentially magnifying the sun. So it takes a larger square footprint area of the sun and concentrates down onto the solar panels. The purpose of this is to enable the customer to recharge their vehicle off the grid," he said.

他說(shuō)，“它通過(guò)放大太陽(yáng)提升了太陽(yáng)能電池板的功率，從而獲得了太陽(yáng)更大的照射面積，并向下集中到太陽(yáng)能電池板。這樣做的目的是讓客戶能夠脫離供電網(wǎng)給汽車充電。”

Three dimensional printers at the show produced more complex, high-quality designs than other 3D printers on the market. And the price of 3D printers is falling. Some cost less than $500.

和其它市面上的三維打印機(jī)相比，展會(huì)上的三維打印機(jī)能夠制造更加復(fù)雜和高質(zhì)量的產(chǎn)品。而且三維打印機(jī)的價(jià)格也有所下降。有些打印機(jī)只需要不到500美元。

One company, 3D Systems has created something new: 3D-printed food. ChefJet and ChefJetPro use melted sugar to create sweet creations. The sugary 3D printers are expected to cost between $5,000 and $10,000 when they go on sale.

一家名為3D Systems的公司創(chuàng)造出了新事物，即三維打印食物。ChefJet和ChefJetPro使用融化的糖制作創(chuàng)意糖果。預(yù)計(jì)這款三維糖類打印機(jī)上市銷售時(shí)的價(jià)格將介于5千到1萬(wàn)美元之間
