CarloRatti_2011-_建造的感应和回应_
Good afternoon, everybody. 大家下午好。
I've got something to show you. 我有些东西想展示给大家。
(Laughter) （笑声）
Think about this as a pixel , a flying pixel. 把这个看作一个像素,一个飞行的像素。
pixel:n.象素;图像的基本单位;表示显示在萤幕上的一点;
This is what we call, in our lab, sensible design. 我们在实验室里,叫它感应设计。
sensible:adj.明智的; n.可感觉到的东西;
Let me tell you a bit about it. 让我为你们介绍一下这个东西
Now if you take this picture -- I'm Italian originally , and every boy in Italy grows up with this picture on the wall of his bedroom -- but the reason I'm showing you this is that something very interesting happened in Formula 1 racing over the past couple of decades. 现在如果你拿着这张照片--我是意大利人, 每个意大利男孩卧室墙上都有 这张照片来伴随他们长大。 但是我给你看这个原因是因为 一些有趣的事情 发生在F1方程式赛上 在过去的几十年里。
originally:adv.原来;起初; Formula:n.公式; adj.(赛车)方程式的(指赛车要符合规定的体积,重量及汽缸容量等);
Now some time ago, if you wanted to win a Formula 1 race, you take a budget , and you bet your budget on a good driver and a good car. 以前, 如果你想在F1赛上夺冠, 你只需要有预算,然后把你的预算赌在 一个好车手和好车上。
budget:n.预算,预算费;v.安排,预定;把…编入预算;adj.廉价的; bet:n.打赌;赌注;预计;估计;v.下赌注(于);用…打赌;敢说;八成儿;
And if the car and the driver were good enough, then you'd win the race. 如果你的车和车手够好的话,那你会夺冠。
Now today, if you want to win the race, actually you need also something like this -- something that monitors the car in real time , has a few thousand sensors collecting information from the car, transmitting this information into the system, and then processing it 现如今,如果你想夺冠, 事实上你还需要其他一些东西比如这个-- 一些能实时检测赛车的装备 它连接着上千感应器 能把收集到的车的相关数据, 传输进系统中, 并处理
real time:adj.实时的;接到指示立即执行的; sensors:n.[自]传感器,感应器;感测器(sensor的复数); transmitting:v.传送;输送;发射;传播;传染;(transmit的现在分词) processing:v.加工;处理;审核;数据处理;v.列队行进;缓缓前进;(process的现在分词)
and using it in order to go back to the car with decisions and changing things in real time as information is collected. 并用这个来反馈决定给车本身 使其实时地改变 做到与信息收集同步。
This is what, in engineering terms, you would call a real time control system. 这就是,用工程师的说法, 叫做实时监控系统。
engineering:n.工程;工程学;v.密谋策划;设计制造;改变…的基因;(engineer的现在分词)
And basically , it's a system made of two components -- a sensing and an actuating component. 基本上,这个系统包括两个部件 一个是感应器一个是驱动器
basically:adv.主要地,基本上; components:n.部件;组件;成份(component复数); actuating:adj.启动的;v.驱使(actuate的ing形式);开动;
What is interesting today is that real time control systems are starting to enter into our lives. 如今,有趣的是 这个实时监控系统 正开始渗透到我们的生活中。

Our cities, over the past few years, just have been blanketed with networks, electronics . 我们的城市,在过去的几年中, 已经被网络,电子工业 所覆盖。
electronics:n.电子学;电子工业;
They're becoming like computers in open air. 它 们变得好像无线收放电脑。
And, as computers in open air, they're starting to respond in a different way to be able to be sensed and to be actuated . 同时,作为无线收放的电脑, 它们开始做出不同的回应 能传感和制动。
respond:vi.回答;作出反应;承担责任;n.应答;唱和; actuated:adj.开动的;动作的;v.驱动;激励(actuate的过去分词形式);使运转;
If we fix cities, actually it's a big deal . 如果我们能优化城市,实际上这是个飞跃。
a big deal:na.要人;重要的事;
Just as an aside , I wanted to mention, cities are only two percent of the Earth's crust , but they are 50 percent of the world's population. 说句题外话,我想说, 城市只占了地球表面的百分之2, 但是它们却占据了世界人口的百分之50。
as an aside:闲话一句; crust:n.壳;表面;厚颜无耻;[美国]雪壳;v.用外皮覆盖;结成硬皮;生痂儿;形成硬壳;
