From VOA Learning English, this is the Technology Report.
美國(guó)之音，英語(yǔ)教學(xué)，這里是科技報(bào)道!
There are increasing calls for lawmakers to reconsider copyright laws that protect the owners of 3-D printing designs. But there is also concern that extensive laws could suppress new ideas. 3-D printers have spread from scientific labs to industrial workshops to private homes. And prices of 3-D printers continue to drop.
越來(lái)越多的人呼吁立法者重新考慮版權(quán)法，以保護(hù)3D打印技術(shù)的版權(quán)所有人。但也有人考慮過(guò)度的法律會(huì)限制新的想法的誕生。3D打印機(jī)被廣泛應(yīng)用于科學(xué)實(shí)驗(yàn)室，工廠以及家庭。3D打印機(jī)的價(jià)格也在持續(xù)下降。
Designers demonstrate a large number of different machines at 3-D print shows. There are models that can produce complex copies of human organs. There are less costly 3-D printers that make toys for children or parts for home electrical devices.
在3D打印展上，設(shè)計(jì)者展出大量各不相同的機(jī)器。有些可以制造復(fù)雜的人類器官。還有些相對(duì)便宜的可以制造孩子的玩具或者家用電器的零部件。
One German automaker recently demonstrated an example of a car structure printed in one piece. And a Chinese manufacturer advertised a house created in a 3-D printer.
一家德國(guó)汽車制造商最近展示了一體打印的一種汽車部件。而一家中國(guó)制造商在宣傳一種3D打印機(jī)造出來(lái)的房子。
With the help of computer, almost anyone can print exact copies of many kinds of objects. But they also violate the law in doing so.
有了電腦的幫助，幾乎每個(gè)人都可以精準(zhǔn)制作出許多物品的復(fù)件。但是這樣做是違背法律的!
Julie Samuels is a lawyer with the civil liberties group, Electronic Frontier Foundation. She says people should be careful about what they create when using 3-D printers.
Julie Samuels是電子前沿基金會(huì)的律師，這是一家公民自由組織。她說(shuō)，人們?cè)谑褂?D打印機(jī)的時(shí)候，應(yīng)當(dāng)注意自己是在打印什么。
"If a certain design that you want to print is covered by copyright, then if you print that you are infringing, arguably, someone's copyright," said Julie Samuels.
“如果你想要打印的東西有某種設(shè)計(jì)版權(quán)，那么你的行為就是侵犯他人的著作權(quán)。”
But 3-D companies are concerned about passing more restrictive copyright protection laws. They think these laws could place bans on the rights of citizens. They also believe restrictive copyright laws could suppress technological invention.
但各3D技術(shù)公司擔(dān)心會(huì)通過(guò)更嚴(yán)格的版權(quán)保護(hù)法。他們認(rèn)為這些法律會(huì)限制公民的權(quán)利。他們還認(rèn)為，過(guò)于嚴(yán)格的版權(quán)法會(huì)限制技術(shù)發(fā)明。
Cydni Tetro is the founder of the website 3DPlus.me. She says she expects to see special permission documents for 3-D printing very soon.
Cydni Tetro是3DPlus.me這家網(wǎng)站的創(chuàng)始人。她表示自己希望很快就可以看到對(duì)3D打印的特別許可文件。
"All of those companies are in very active engagements right now about how they'll deploy 3-D printed products over the next year, and we're going to see that," said Tetro.
Tetro說(shuō)到“所有那些公司都在就明年如何部署他們的產(chǎn)品進(jìn)行積極協(xié)商，我們拭目以待!”
Diego Porqueras designs 3-D printers. He says owners of 3-D printers and copyright owners should reach an agreement.
Diego Porqueras參與設(shè)計(jì)3D打印機(jī)。他表示3D打印機(jī)所有者與其版權(quán)所有者應(yīng)當(dāng)達(dá)成一項(xiàng)協(xié)議。
"If companies really take advantage of that and just charge nominal fees to download your favorite character off 'Star Wars' and 3-D print it, I think that's going to prevent a lot more piracy," said Porqueras.
Porqueras 說(shuō)“如 果真正利用這些優(yōu)勢(shì)，只要象征性付費(fèi)就能從《星球大戰(zhàn)》下載自己喜歡的角色并打印出來(lái)，我認(rèn)為這將能阻止很多盜版。”
The lack of legislation related to 3-D printing will not stop the technology from spreading, but experts say they hope new laws will not punish people for printing a copy of something for their personal use.
3D打印技術(shù)相關(guān)立法的缺失不會(huì)使這項(xiàng)技術(shù)停止傳播，但是專家表示他們希望新的律法不會(huì)去懲罰那些打印一些東西自己用的人。
