Reporter： 2013 promises to bring an 1）assortment of brighter， faster and larger gadgets certain to gain a widespread attention. Today technology expert Charlie Brown joins us now. So， tell us about the Watch Finds.

Reporter： Yeah， we thought Shoe Finds before， but now its a Watch Find.

Charlie Brown（Technology expert）：Yeah， well， look， whats interesting is three years ago LG brought out a 3G watch-find； beautiful piece of engineering， but the problem was it cost $2，000 2）outright…

Reporter： Uhm hm.

Charlie： And…and it was a bit 3）chunky on your 4）wrist. Now the one that were talking about these days is smaller and lighter and its gonna be a lot cheaper at a few hundred dollars， so the the…the idea is that because this device improves on those two key areas， in size and in price， its gonna be adopted a lot more heavily by people. Now， again， what were talking about here is…is not just the time but making calls through your watch， but also getting your…your social media updates and things like that instantly. It can…it can pull…it can create its own content but also stream content from devices around you， so it can pull music from your…your mp3…

Reporter： Yeah.

Charlie： Your Smart Phone in your pocket， for example. But the idea is make it cheaper and make it do more stuff， and， potentially， people will buy it. So were looking at something like that coming out in 2013.

Reporter： Its like Dick Tracy. Remember Dick Tracy…

Charlie： Yeah， I do.

Reporter： …used to spend a…

Charlie： I do.

Reporter： If youve got 5）chubby fingers like me， thats gonna be hard. Now what about another innovation？ Its the Google glasses. How do these work？

Charlie： Well this is the idea of 6）augmented reality being built into glasses. So you put them on and then， as youre looking around the room or looking around the suburb， information is fed live into…in…in front of your eye. Now Googles been working on this for a number of years and shown us this technology in a number of…a number of different times. They…theyre 7）directional as well， so theyve got GPS built into them， so as you turn， it knows which way youre standing on the planet， for example. It knows how high you are in your altitude. This…it…it can stream information from your Smart Phone， but it could also have a small android operating system built in. Now， Googles working on this， and look， you know， they make billions in profits a year， but weve also got an Australian company， a…a start-up…

Reporter： Really？

Charlie： …which is actually pulling 8）funding at the moment to do its own version of Google goggles， and， look， its so…and the interesting thing is its not just Google， its other companies who are trying to create this thing， so what were…what were thinking is， because so many people are doing it and this technologys developing so fast， well see something commercially in 2013.

記者： 2013年有望帶來各式更智能、更快捷、更大型的電子電器，一定會獲得廣泛的關注。今天，技術專家查理·布朗正和我們在一起。那么，請跟我們說說手表探測器。

記者：是的，我們有想過鞋型探測器，不過現(xiàn)在是一款手表探測器。

查理·布朗（技術專家）： 好吧，有趣的是3年前LG公司推出了一款3G手表探測器。做工精美，不過問題就是售價高達兩千美元。

記者：嗯嗯。

查理：而且戴在手腕上顯得有點笨重。現(xiàn)在我們在探討的這款產(chǎn)品會更加小巧輕便，同時價格也會便宜很多，只需幾百美元。因此，我們認為由于這款設備在尺寸和價格這兩個重要方面的改進，它將會更加受到人們的青睞?，F(xiàn)在，再說明一下，我們在此討論的這款手表不僅能報時，而且能打電話，還能即時更新你的社交媒體等。它能拉……能創(chuàng)建自己的內(nèi)容，也可以從你身邊的設備中提取內(nèi)容。所以你可以從你的mp3播放器里拉音樂過去……

記者：是的。

查理：例如，從你口袋里的智能手機中（拉取歌曲）。而且，讓它更廉價，更多功能的想法，將會吸引人們?nèi)ベ徺I。因此，我們很期待有類似這樣的一款產(chǎn)品能在2013年面世。

記者：就像狄克·崔西偵探。還記得他……

查理：是的，我記得。

記者：曾花了一……

查理：我記得。

記者：如果你的手指和我的一樣胖的話，操作起來就會困難些?，F(xiàn)在說說另外一款創(chuàng)新之作——谷歌眼鏡。它是怎樣操作的？

查理：這個想法就是將增強現(xiàn)實（注：也被稱之為混合現(xiàn)實。它通過電腦技術，將虛擬的信息應用到真實世界，真實的環(huán)境和虛擬的物體實時地疊加到了同一個畫面或空間同時存在。）增加到眼鏡中。你只要戴上眼鏡，當你環(huán)視房間或郊區(qū)四周時，信息就會在你眼前實時更新。目前，谷歌公司已經(jīng)在這個項目上研究了好幾年，也曾在不同時期向我們展示過這項技術。這副眼鏡同時也能導航，因此內(nèi)置了GPS。例如當你轉向的時候，它就知曉你在地球何方，還能知道你身處的海拔高度。它可以從你的智能手機中提取信息，同時還內(nèi)置了安卓系統(tǒng)。目前谷歌正在開發(fā)這些技術，并期望每年能從中獲利數(shù)十億。但我們也得知一個剛剛起步的澳洲小公司……

記者：真的嗎？

查理：正在集資開發(fā)自己的谷歌眼鏡。有趣的是不僅是谷歌，還有其他公司在嘗試創(chuàng)造這種產(chǎn)品。由于開發(fā)這種產(chǎn)品的人很多，這項技術發(fā)展也很迅速，我們認為在2013年這款產(chǎn)品將會商業(yè)化。

Reporter： I get so easily distracted walking around anyway， Im bound to walk into some walls now. But now， before Steve Jobs died， he said hed cracked the code—Apple TV； he thinks hes got it—are Apple gonna release it this year？

Charlie： Well， were seeing…you cant go and drop a couple of million television units onto the planet without somebody somewhere having to create the parts and the technology to go around doing it…

Reporter： Yeah.

Charlie： …so…so weve seen discussions in…in…in Shenzhen， at the back of Hong Kong， that theres…that theyre 9）tooling up to create this massive TV experience for people. Apples got a product that they…that they plug into a television that streams your…your iTunes content already. But the idea is build all that…those apps and that cool series technology into your televisions， sell it commercially. They need a revolution this year. I hope they bring something out. Itd be great to see the TV market have a new Apple product， but then， were also seeing other TV technologies rolled out this year as well from other players.

Reporter： Alright， thanks Charlie. Its very exciting stuff. Coming up…

記者：反正我走路的時候很容易分心，一定會撞墻的。在史蒂夫·喬布斯逝世前，他聲稱自己已想好開發(fā)蘋果電視。他認為自己已經(jīng)成功了，那蘋果公司今年會發(fā)布這項技術嗎？

查理：這個，我們在期待著……首先如果沒人在研發(fā)電視部件和相關技術的話，就不可能有成千上萬的電視。記者：的確。

查理：因此，我們在香港后面的深圳展會上已經(jīng)聽到了不少的討論，表明他們正在著手開發(fā)這種大型電視體驗技術。蘋果手上的產(chǎn)品接駁電視后，就能提取你iTunes上的內(nèi)容。但最終的想法是能將那些應用程序和一系列新潮的技術添加到電視上，并將其市場化。他們今年必須做出一些改革創(chuàng)新。我希望他們能推出這款產(chǎn)品。能在電視市場上看到蘋果產(chǎn)品會很棒。不過我們也要注意到今年也有另外一些電視技術像其他播放器一樣在推出。

記者：好的，謝謝你，查理。這情況很激動人心。接下來……

小鏈接

《至尊神探》（Dick Tracy）是根據(jù)美國暢銷漫畫書改編拍攝的大型偵探片，由沃倫·比蒂執(zhí)導并主演，講述正義警探狄克·崔西為自己洗刷冤情、挽回女友的心、以及將歹徒繩之以法的故事。麥當娜出演劇中女主角，兩名金像獎影帝阿爾·帕西諾和達斯廷·霍夫曼則飾演反派。本片的美術設計出類拔萃，全片只用了七種色彩，主要是黃色，以鮮明的視覺影像將20世紀30年代大都會很“酷”的感覺發(fā)揮得淋漓盡致，麥當娜演唱的由著名音樂家斯蒂芬·桑海姆度身定做的懷舊歌曲極有味道，其中一首獲奧斯卡最佳歌曲獎。以真人演出卡通的戲劇效果也有一定的趣味性。
