论文部分内容阅读
Can you imagine if we had the ability to 1）converse with anyone in the world in the same language， ours or theirs？ Communication， expression and understanding are a 2）vital part of our lives， and yet， so often we are lost in translation.
I can imagine a free App， an instant download that could direct our brains for 3）simultaneous translation of our every word， no matter where we are under any 4）circumstance. This is not something for our mobile phones， but for our brains. For example， need directions to the library while visiting Rome？ Just ask. Want to meet with the 5）tribal elder in 6）Borneo to discuss politics？ Just walk into his village and start talking. Of course there needs to be an instant 7）dialect 8）affliction 9）embedded as an upgrade so that the 10）Parisian lost in the 11）bayous of 12）Louisiana can effectively find his way out， and the New Yorker in Scotland can order a proper 13）pint. This all means a grand 14）hybridization of 15）Silicon Valley and the Harvard Medical School. And while the 16）tech-savvy brain surgeons are developing this， let’s work on an App to 17）stimulate love and 18）compassion while we’re at it.
你能想象我们有能力用与自己或者他人相同的一种语言与世界的任何一个人交流吗？交流、表达和理解是我们生活中重要的一部分，然而，我们却经常在翻译方面受到阻碍。
我能设想有一个能即时下载的免费软件，无论我们在何时何地都能让大脑同步翻译出每个单词的意思。这种软件不是给我们手机使用的，而是适用于我们的大脑。例如，在罗马旅游时需要有人给你指路去图书馆吗？尽管问就是了。想在婆罗洲与部落的长老探讨政治吗？你只要走进他的村庄开讲便是了。当然我们需要一个能够即时植入（大脑）的方言升级软件，这样的话巴黎人如果在路易斯安那州的河畔迷失就能很快地找到出路，在苏格兰的纽约人也能点上一杯合适的啤酒。这全都意味着需要美国的硅谷和哈佛大学医学院（精英们的通力合作）。当这些精通科技的“脑外科医生”在开发这项技术时，让我们一起来研究出一个能够传递爱与仁慈的应用软件吧。
