Unit9 Part1 Explaining how something works

一、Dialogue(一)

CLIVE HARRIS: Can I get you a cup of tea or something?

克萊夫.哈里斯：給你拿杯咖啡或別的?

MS WONG: No, thanks, I' m fine.

黃女士：No， 謝謝， 不用了。

CLIVE HARRIS: Please have a seat.

克萊夫.哈里斯：請坐。

Well, Sally, you' re seen the company. You' re seen our products.

薩利，你參觀了公司，也見過了我們的產(chǎn)品。

What do you think?

你認為怎么樣?

MS WONG: You have a wide product range, but they' re all dependent on the same chip technology.

黃女士：你們的產(chǎn)品樣式很多，但都依賴同樣的芯片技術(shù)。

I think we may be able to supply you with some of the necessary circuitry

我認為，我們可以為你提供必要的電路元件

...but,of course, we need to speak further about this.

……當(dāng)然，我們還要就此再深入交談。

CLIVE HARRIS: Well, thanks for coming in.

克萊夫.哈里斯：噢，謝謝你的來訪。

MS WONG: It has been most interesting.

黃女士：這次參觀很有意思。

DEREK JONES: This is the latest prototype.

德里克.瓊斯：這是最新的模型。

PHIL WATSON: How does it work?

菲爾.沃森：怎么用?

DEREK JONES: Say something to the boss.

德里克.瓊斯：對“大老板”隨便說點什么。

PHIL WATSON: Like what?

菲爾.沃森：比如?

DEREK JONES: Anything.

德里克.瓊斯：什么都行。

There' s a microphone in Boss' s ear, and it will recognise certain commands.

“大老板”的耳朵里有個麥克風(fēng)，它可以識別某些指令。

It records what you say and stores it.

它會錄下你講的內(nèi)容，并保存起來。

When it hears the trigger word, it plays it back.

在聽到觸發(fā)字后，就會播放出來。

PHIL WATSON: I' m sorry, could you repeat that?

菲爾.沃森：對不起，能再說一遍嗎?

I don' t understand what you mean by trigger word.

我不太明白觸發(fā)字的意思。

DEREK JONES: Okay, I' ll try to explain it more simply.

德里克.瓊斯：好的，我會盡量簡單地解釋。

We can programme the Boss to say something like "I don' t want problems, I want solutions".

我們可以編程使“大老板”說類似“我不管問題，只要解決方案”的話。

And we do that like this: you press his nose and that activates the voice card.

我們是這樣做的：你按一下它的鼻子，這樣就激活了聲卡。

Then you say the phrase.

然后你說個短語。

"I don' t want problems, I want solutions"

“我不管問題，只要解決方案”

Then you press the nose again.

然后你再按一下鼻子。

PHIL WATSON: Why do you do that?

菲爾.沃森：為什么要這樣做?

DEREK JONES: You do that in order to stop the recording.

德里克.瓊斯：這樣做是為了停止錄音。

Then you select your trigger word.

然后再選擇觸發(fā)字

PHIL WATSON: What is that?

菲爾.沃森：那是什么呢?

DEREK JONES: The trigger word makes the Boss speak.

德里克.瓊斯：觸發(fā)字可以使“大老板”開口說話。

Every time he hears that word,

它每次聽到這個詞，

he will say "I don' t want problems, I want solutions."

就會說“我不管問題，只要解決方案”。

PHIL WATSON: So, let me clarify this:

菲爾.沃森：讓我來澄清這點：

each time the Boss hears the trigger word, he' ll repeat the phrase.

每次“大老板”聽到觸發(fā)字，就會重復(fù)這個短語。

DEREK JONES: Exactly.

德里克.瓊斯：正確。

So give him the trigger.

那就給它個觸發(fā)字吧。

PHIL WATSON: Okay ummm ...The trigger can be the word "problems".

菲爾.沃森：好的， 嗯 ……觸發(fā)字就用“問題”這個字吧。

DEREK JONES: Fine. Say it in his ear, then.

德里克.瓊斯：好。對著它的耳朵說，然后。

PHIL WATSON: "Problems."

菲爾.沃森：“問題”。

DEREK JONES: Okay, now say a sentence with the word "problems" in it.

德里克.瓊斯：好的， 現(xiàn)在說個帶“問題”這個字的句子。

PHIL WATSON: Excuse me, Big Boss, I' m having some problems with the project.

菲爾.沃森：打擾一下，“大老板”，我在這個項目上有些"問題"。

BIG BOSS: Problem! I don' t want problems. I want solutions.

“大老板”：問題!“我不管問題，只要解決方案”。

PHIL WATSON: Brilliant! How is it powered?

菲爾.沃森：太好了!它的動力是怎樣的?

DEREK JONES: Aha! You' ll enjoy this:

德里克.瓊斯：啊哈! 你會很喜歡的：

light energy. It won' t need new batteries.

光能。不需要新電池。

Both the eyes contain photo-sensitive cells which absorb the solar energy.

它的雙眼都有可以吸收太陽能的感光電池。

These cells then power the motors located here under each arm.

這些電池給每支手臂下的發(fā)動機提供動力。

Now, as everybody knows, when you have this kind of configuration there is a...

大家都知道，如果你有這種設(shè)置，就會……

EDWARD GREEN: Sorry, Derek would you mind explaining that in another way?

愛德華.格林：對不起， 德里克?？梢杂昧硗獾姆绞浇忉屢幌聠?

DEREK JONES: Sorry. I' ll keep it simple.

德里克.瓊斯：抱歉。我會簡單地說。

The important thing is that this is a major breakthrough.

重要的是這是個重大突破。

All the toys will represent the very latest in technology.

所有的玩具都代表著科技的最新進展。

PHIL WATSON: I can see that. It' s very impressive.
