12、：Good evening，and welcome to Between the Pages.This evening，Ill be talking to Dr Richard Fairhurst，whose new book The New Age of Invention has just been published.Welcome，Richard!Richard：Thank you.Its a pleasure to be here.Interviewer：I guess you have been asked about the title of your book before.I
13、t suggests that the present day is a new age for inventions，but many people might think that the great age of invention is over.Richard：Well，thats an interesting point.There have been golden ages of invention throughout history.Think of the four great inventions in Ancient China: gunpowder，papermaki
14、ng，printing and the compass.These things changed the world forever.Then there were the great Western inventions：the steam engine，the telephone and the radio.And now，we find ourselves in the great new age of technology.Interviewer：So are most of the new great inventions techbased?Richard：A lot，yes. F
15、or example，advances in virtual reality and wearable tech，as well as the flexiblebattery，mean we should soon be seeing further developments.In addition，important advances have been made in medicine and environmental science thanks to increasing computer power.Interviewer：Can you give us some examples
16、? Richard：Sure.New inventions like 3D printers have been used to make replacement hearts and bone parts.In terms of the environment，it is now possible to create an intelligent walking house.It is capable of using GPS technology to travel to different places，with computing technology controlling its“
17、legs”.Whats more，huge advances in solar technology mean it can beecofriendly，too.Interviewer：Impressive stuff！I have also been told that youre an inventor yourself.Is that correct? Richard：Yes，I am，but Im only one member of a big team most inventors now work as part of big international teams.Interv
18、iewer：I see.So what is it thatinspires us to invent things?Richard：Most inventions start with recognising a problem that needs a solution.This was no doubt the reason behind the invention of the wheel in ancient times，which much laterdeveloped into the car.Now，reduced energy supplies andenvironmenta
19、l pollution haveled to more advances in the technology of new energy vehicles.But what remains important is that we have an incredible desire to think and create，and thats the real spirit of invention.Interviewer：One last question.This is the one everyone really wants to know：will anybody ever inven
20、t a time machine?Richard：I think youve been watching too many movies！Nothing like thishas been invented yet and Id say were a long way from an invention like that at the moment！But，as they say，“Never say never！”译文参考发明的新时代记者：晚上好，欢迎来到字里行间。今晚，我将和理查德费尔赫斯特博士交流，他的新书发明的新时代刚刚出版。欢迎，理查德！理查德：谢谢你。很高兴来到这里。记者：我想以
21、前有人问过你这本书的书名。这表明当今是一个发明的新时代，但许多人可能认为发明的伟大时代已经结束了。理查德：嗯，这是个有趣的观点。历史上有过发明创造的黄金时代。想想中国古代的四大发明：火药、造纸术、印刷术和指南针。这些东西永远地改变了世界。然后是西方的伟大发明：蒸汽机、电话和无线电。现在，我们发现自己正处在一个伟大的新技术时代。记者：那么，大多数新的伟大发明都是以科技为基础的吗？理查德：很多，是的。例如，虚拟现实以及可穿戴技术方面的进步，以及可折叠电池，意味着我们应该很快就会看到进一步的发展。此外，由于计算机能力的提高，医学和环境科学也取得了重大进展。记者：你能给我们举几个例子吗？理查德：当然。
22、像3D打印机这样的新发明已经被用来制造替代心脏和骨骼部分。在环境方面，现在有可能创造一个智能步行屋，它可以使用GPS技术各处旅行，用计算技术控制它的“腿”。而且，太阳能技术的巨大进步意味着它也可以是环保的。记者：令人印象深刻的东西！我还听说你自己就是个发明家。对吧？理查德：是的。但我只是一个大团队中的一员现在大多数发明家都在大型国际团队中工作。记者：我明白了。那么，是什么激励我们去发明东西呢？理查德：大多数发明都是从认识到需要解决的问题开始的。毫无疑问，这就是古代发明轮子的原因，很久以后轮子就发展成了汽车。现在，能源供应的减少和环境污染导致了新能源汽车技术的进步。但仍然重要的是，我们有极大的渴望去思考和创造，这才是真正的发明精神。记者：最后一个问题。这是一个每个人都想知道的问题：会有人发明时间机器吗？理查德：我觉得你看的电影太多了！目前还没有这样的发明，我想说，现在我们离这样的发明还有很长的路要走！但是，正如他们所说，“永不言弃！”7/7
