狗狗翻譯器：汪星人你究竟在叫什麼

Dog owners often have an incredible affinity with their canine companions, but a prototype technology could soon take pet-to-human communication to the next level.
主人和狗狗之間的關係通常非常密切，而現在出現的一個技術可以很快把他們之間的關係增進到下一個階段。

No More Woof is a headset that uses brain-scanning technology to detect a dog's thought patterns, analyse them and translate them into the spoken word.
“讀懂狗狗心”是一款高科技耳機，它可以利用大腦掃描技術檢測小狗的想法，進而分析、翻譯成人類的語言。

Potential dog phrases already identified by the developers include: "This is splendid!", "Leave me alone", "I am so very weary", "Who are you?" and "Erm, why are you guys leaving?"
目前已被開發者識別的小狗語言包括：“這簡直太棒了！”，“讓我自己待會兒”，“我累癱了”，“你是誰？”以及“嗯，爲什麼你們都走了？”

The technology used in No More Woof is a combination of the latest technologies in three different tech-areas, Electroencephalography (EEG) sensoring, micro-computing and special brain-computer interface software.
“讀懂狗狗心” 耳機中的技術運用集合了三個不同技術領域中的最新成果，分別是腦電波傳感技術、微運算技術和特殊的腦機接口軟件。

In the last decade, huge discoveries have been made to map out the human brain’s functions, but the developers say it is the first time anyone made a serious attempt to apply this groundbreaking technology on man’s best friend.
過去十年中，對人腦各功能的研究有了重大發現。但開發者稱，嘗試將這種開創性的技術運用到人類最好的朋友——狗的身上尚屬首次。

Developers say they are only scraping the surface of possibilities. They want to go on and personalise the device to distinguish even more thoughts, and produce a combination of thoughts, like: "Who is that woman, she looks nice!"
開發者們說他們現在的研究還只是冰山一角。他們想進一步開發並個性化這個裝置，讓它分辨出小狗們更多的想法並加以結合，例如“那個女的是誰？好漂亮！”

They also hope to use the device to let hurt or disabled pets control artificial limbs or other appliances.
他們也期待這個耳機能幫助那些受傷的或殘疾的寵物控制義肢或其他設備。

Finally, two-way communication is their "Holy Grail". A similar device to No More Woof could eventually be hooked up to humans translating our thoughts into "dog".
達到雙向交流是開發者們的“最終夢想”。他們希望一種類似於“讀懂狗狗心”的裝置也可以運用到主人身上，把人類語言翻譯成小狗能聽懂的語言。
