双语：梦想成真2014年实现15个预言.docxVIP

As 2014 comes to a close, its time to reflect on the most futuristic breakthroughs and developments of the past year. Here are 15 predictions that came true in 2014. 2014年已经过去，现在来总结过去一年中最具前瞻性和影响力的重大发现和成果正是时候。下面就一起来看看2014年里那些已成为现实的15个预言吧。 1. Technologically-assisted telepathy was successfully demonstrated in humans 1. 心灵感应 For the first time ever, two humans exchanged thoughts via mind-to-mind communication. 2014年人类第一次实现了通过心对心的交流来交换想法的梦想。 Remarkably, the system is completely non-invasive. By using internet-linked electroencephalogram (EEG) and robot-assisted image-guided transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) technologies, an international team of researchers were able to get two subjects —one in India and one in France — to mentally transmit the words hola and ciao. 这套心灵感应系统完全是非侵入式的。通过使用联网式脑电图以及机器人辅助成像的经颅骨磁力刺激法技术，这个国际合作研究团队实现了让两个分别在印度和法国的人在心里交换了单词“hola”和“ciao”。 And in a similar breakthrough, a different team developed a system that allowed a human subject to control the movements of another person. The University of Washington researchers showcased the technology by having participants collaborate on a computer game where a sender sent mental instructions to a receiver to control their hand movements. 另外一项与此类似的重大突破是另一个团队开发的系统，这套系统可以让一个人控制另一个人的动作。华盛顿大学的研究人员对该项新技术做了如下展示：在一款电脑游戏中，指令发出者通过在心里默念指令来控制指令接受者的手部活动。 2.NASA emailed a wrench to the space station 2. 传送门 In whats being seen as a precursor to a Star Trek-like replicator, astronauts aboard the ISS used their 3D printer to manufacture a socket wrench. Remarkably, the 20-part wrench was designed on Earth and emailed to astronaut Barry Wilmore who ran it through the printer. Its a prime example of how 3D printing is poised to change space travel, allowing astronauts to produce equipment on demand and in emergency situations. 这可以被看作是《星际迷航》中复制器的原型，宇航员用3D打印机做了一个管钳子。值得一提的是，这个由20个零部件构成的管钳子，先是在地面上被设计出来，之后再通过电邮传给宇航员巴里·威尔莫尔，然后他再用打印机做出这个管钳子。这个过程不仅展示了3D打印技术在太空航行中的应用，也标志着宇航员可以根据需要随时制造新工具。 3.
