真正不可思议的麦克风：扩音器将日语自动翻译成三种不同的语言，包括英语



In TV series Star Trek, the crew of the Starship Enterprise overcome communication barriers with alien lifeforms with the help of a universal translator.

在电视剧《星际迷航》中，企业号星舰在一名宇宙翻译人员的帮助下克服了与外星人的交流障碍。

Now, electronics giant Panasonic has unveiled a megaphone that makes at least part of this fictional technology a reality. 

现在，电子巨头松下公司发布了一款扩音器，至少可以让这种虚构技术的一部分成为现实。

Described as 'magic', the megaphone automatically translates what is being spoken into the microphone into three different languages that are then played out through the speaker. 

对这种扩音器讲话，所说的语言可自动翻译成另外三种不同的语言，并从扩音器中播放出来。

The loudspeaker has been called Megaphoneyaku - a combination of the word megaphone and the Japanese word for translation.

这种扩音器被称为Megaphoneyaku——即Megaphone（扩音器）和yaku（在日语中是翻译的意思）的结合。

It is currently is being trialled at Narita International Airport to help staff provide better information to foreign travellers.

现在正在成田国际机场进行试用，以帮助工作人员为外国旅客提供更好的信息服务。

When the user speaks into the megaphone in Japanese, software automatically translate what is said into English, Chinese and Korean. 

当使用者对着这种扩音器说日语时，软件会自动的将讲话内容翻译成英语，中文和韩文。

Moving towards it being an international translator would be impressive.But why not make it into something more compact other than a loudspeaker...?

将这种东西研发成国际翻译器，那倒是不错。但是为什么不做得紧凑点，偏偏要做成扩音器？

Totally unnecessary. All you need to do is talk loudly and slowly until they get it.

完全没必要。你必须得大声说话并且要慢点，直到人们听明白。

this will come in handy when I am placing take out orders at a Japanese restaurant and the hostess is hard of hearing

我去日本餐馆用餐时，这种玩意迟早可以派得上用场，否则服务人员都听不懂我说啥。
