A: So Josh, in another interview you were talking about Google Glasses.
乔什,在另一期节目里你提到过谷歌眼镜。
B: Yeah, that's right.
对,没错。
A: So, what do you think about Google Glasses?
你怎么看谷歌眼镜?
B: Google Glasses. Well, right off the bat I think privacy issues.
谷歌眼镜。嗯,我马上就想到了隐私问题
A: Right.
好。
B: Just because probably everyone's read the articles about how it might makethere be no privacy.
因为可能所有人都看了那篇谷歌眼镜可能会造成没有隐私的报道。
A: Like well explain, like how so? How would there be no privacy?
我们要解释一下,为什么?为什么会没有隐私?
B: Well, if everyone's wearing these glasses and they have cameras on them,you wouldn't know when they have their camera on and when they have it off so ifyou're just talking with someone on the street they could be recording you andplanning some lawsuit against you or anything like that. And if you're notthinking about it then for all you know they're recording whatever you're sayingand they could use that against you. And it's hard to be that careful.
A: But couldn't you do that with another device? Like you could already dothat with hidden cameras or recorders as well, right?
可是,用其他设备也能做到吧?比如可以用隐藏摄像机或录音机之类的,对吧?
B: Yeah, that's absolutely true, which is why a lot of people say it won't bea problem. But the issue is I guess is just if everyone starts wearing them thenthere's so much footage of everything that the other problem would be if that'sall running through Google servers, some people get nervous about Google beingable to hand over just loads of video data to the government or to anyone whoasks, right, because who knows what they do with it.
A: Yeah, that's true. So actually, what can these glasses do? Like what arethe functions of the glasses?
没错。那这种眼镜能做什么?这种眼镜有哪些功能?
B: So actually, the functions are really cool and when you watch the video ofhow they work online, you can see that it'll put a screen in the upper left handarea of your view and it'll look like it's floating in front of you. So thenthat screen that you see, you'll be able to say things like, "Take a picture"and then you'll see a flash in front of you and then you'll see the picture saveto the hard drive of the glasses. And then that screen can also display like aGPS data or it could display text messages or emails, whatever you want. And youjust talk to it and you can tell it to scroll down or read it to you or whateveryou need it to do. So it's like a virtual assistant that you always have on.
A: That sound pretty incredible. What about like just depth perception? Itseems to me that it must be really hard for your eyes to be, you know, observingsomething so close to it. I can't think of anything else where you can see itand it's that close to your eye.
B: Yeah, that's right so they're using these new technology in screens. Idon't remember the name but it's a micro screen and because the pixels are sosmall in the screen, your eye will actually be able to pick it up well, it'sthat's close to your eye.
A: So, how about these glasses, like would you want to be an earlyadopter?
那你想做这种眼睛的早期采用者吗?
B: I actually applied to be one because last month they were going to accept2,000 people to try them out early. And I applied, I didn't get in. You had tohave a good story for why you'd want to do that and I didn't spend much time onit but I thought it was interesting.
A: So, what was your story? What did you tell them?
那你写了什么理由?你跟他们说了什么?
B: What was my story? Again I didn't spend much time on them but I said thatI was in Japan and that being able to travel and have that on, I could takereally cool pictures and make interesting YouTube videos or whatever to helpother people see what I'm seeing and be able to explore with me.
A: Yeah, that sounds like it's pretty competitive. It would be pretty hard tomake it the final cost?
嗯,听起来非常有竞争力。决定最终成本是不是很难?
B: Yeah.
对。
A: So do you know the price tag on these glasses, how much they'll cost?
那你知道这种眼镜的定价吗,大概要多少钱?
B: So Google's actually put a cap on it. They said that it will be under$1500.
谷歌设置了上限。他们说价格不会超过1500美元。
A: That's it?
是这样吗?
B: Yeah.
对。
A: Wow! And it's basically it has all the power of a computer?
哇哦!它是不是有和电脑一样的功能?
B: All the power of a computer with a lot less memory so you will have to goto your computer and upload things. And it will also be connected to theinternet. So with 3G, you'll be able to upload things to Facebook, and yeah,basically like a computer.
