"Studies show they only meow in order to communicate with humans," the video adds. "So we set out on a mission to get to know them better. By analysing different cat noises, we've designed a digital sensor that detects a cat's meow and uses a unique program to turn it into a human voice."
視頻中還講,"研究表明,貓為了和人交流才會(huì)叫.所以我們進(jìn)行此項(xiàng)任務(wù)來(lái)更好地了解它們.通過分析貓的不同叫聲,我們?cè)O(shè)計(jì)出一個(gè)可以探測(cè)貓叫的數(shù)字傳感器,用特別的程序把貓叫轉(zhuǎn)化成人聲."
So by using the collar, owners can speak to their cats and expect a meaningful response – well, about as meaningful as a cat's meows can get. The sassy responses are delivered in a British accent, in a voice of the owner's choice, selected through a smartphone app paired with the collar. A few sample responses are demonstrated on the company's YouTube channel – they are quite hilarious, but obviously not very convincing.
因此,通過這款項(xiàng)圈,貓奴們可以和喵星人對(duì)話,期待著有意義的回應(yīng)——嗯,貓叫有多少意義就差不多能傳達(dá)出多少意義.這種時(shí)髦的應(yīng)答裝置發(fā)出的聲音是英式英語(yǔ),主人可以通過與項(xiàng)圈連接的智能手機(jī)應(yīng)用自己選擇嗓音.這個(gè)公司的YouTube網(wǎng)頁(yè)上列著幾個(gè)應(yīng)答的示例,非常搞笑,但顯然并不能令人信服.
In all probability, Catterbox is just a tongue-in-cheek albeit very clever marketing gimmick. If you really want to learn the meaning of cat meows, you're better off keeping an eye on "Meowsic" (short for "Melody in Human-Cat Communication"), a Swedish study carried out over the next five years.
貓語(yǔ)匣子十有八九只是個(gè)唬人的玩意,盡管市場(chǎng)營(yíng)銷做得非常巧妙.如果你真的想要了解貓語(yǔ)的意義,你最好關(guān)注一下Meowsic（"人貓對(duì)話旋律"的縮寫）,這是瑞典的一項(xiàng)研究,五年之后才能得出結(jié)果.
