22、er say never 56 ！” 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
23、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 7/7 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。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！ ”
