高科技口罩能防病毒，還能翻譯多國語言

高科技口罩的出現(xiàn)只是時間問題。

Japanese company Donut Robotics has developed a face mask with "smart" capabilities, including the ability to translate what the wearer is saying into eight different languages.

日本公司“甜甜圈機器人”研發(fā)出了一種智能口罩，可以將佩戴者說的話翻譯成8種不同語言。

The C-FACE Smart Mask still protects from the spread of COVID-19, but can also translate the wearer's speech from Japanese into Vietnamese, English, Spanish, Chinese, Korean, Thai, Indonesian, and French.

這款名為C-FACE的智能口罩不但可以用來防護新冠病毒，而且可以將佩戴者說的話從日語翻譯成越南語、英語、西班牙語、漢語、韓語、泰語、印尼語和法語。

It works by connecting to a smartphone app via Bluetooth to translate the words into text messages and can also dictate speech and make calls.

這款口罩通過藍牙和智能手機應(yīng)用連接，將文字翻譯成文本信息，還可以語音聽寫和打電話。

Taisuke Ono, chief executive of Donut Robotics, said, "We worked hard for years to develop a robot and we have used that technology to create a product that responds to how the coronavirus has reshaped society."

甜甜圈機器人公司的首席執(zhí)行官大野大介說：“經(jīng)過多年的努力，我們研發(fā)出了一款機器人，我們運用該技術(shù)發(fā)明了一款可以應(yīng)對疫情后社會形勢的產(chǎn)品。”

The white plastic face mask was developed as the company searched for a product to help them survive the pandemic. When the pandemic struck Donut Robotics had finalized a deal to supply robot guides and translators to Tokyo's Haneda Airport, but this deal remains up in the air.

該公司在尋找一款可以助其渡過疫情難關(guān)的產(chǎn)品，于是就研發(fā)了這款白色塑料口罩。當(dāng)疫情來襲時，甜甜圈機器人公司已經(jīng)達成了一筆為東京羽田機場供應(yīng)機器人向?qū)Ш头g的交易，但目前這一交易還未落實。

Estimated to cost $40 per mask, the first 5,000 masks will be available to Japanese buyers in September before expanding to China, the US, and Europe, too.

這款口罩單價預(yù)計是40美元(約合人民幣280元)，首批5000個口罩將于九月份在日本上市，然后再推向中國、美國和歐洲市場。
