CNN新闻英语第 36 课：Wireless Widgets 无线装置的王国-1HATTORI 哈托利
Remember when the term "wireless" referred to that new fangle, AM radio? No? Me neither. Ask your grandfather. But today wireless ranges from making a call on your cell-phone, to connecting all your gadgets with Bluetooth Technology, even surfing the web on a PDA. 还记得"无线电"就是指那种新发明的中波收音机吗？不？我也不记得了。问问你的爷爷吧。今天的无线技术包括从用你的手机打电话，到用蓝牙技术同你所有的装置连起来，甚至是用掌中宝在网上冲浪。
All that and more is part of a high-stakes industry gathering here in Las Vegas. No surprise wireless handsets nearly outnumbers slot machines when the CTIA, the Cellular Teller-Communications and Internet Association comes to Las Vegas, but these high rollers, after suffering through the high-tech bust, are optimistic that new toys and technology will attract new business. 所有这些新技术已被运用到拉斯维加斯博彩业中。毫不奇怪，当手机通信和互联网协会触及到拉斯维加斯的时候，无线下注手机的数目超过了老虎机。但是在高科技的兴旺中吃了苦头的这些赌场老仟们对前途颇为乐观，新玩意和新科技将吸引新的商
机。

There is a real trend that is developing. Wireless data is now here and it's alive. 目前形成了一种真正的趋势。这里就在用无线数据传输进行现场报导。
HATTORI 哈托利
Wireless data-like SMS Short Message Service, tapping a few words into your cell phone and zapping them into another cell-phone, kind of like passing notes in high school. 比如短信息这样的无线数据传输，你可以敲几个单词到手机里，传到另外一台手机，就象在高中传条一样。
TOM WHEELER 汤姆·惠勒
June 2001, there were 30,000 SMS messages sent in all the United States for the whole month. Last June, June 2002, one year later, there was one billion SMS messages sent. 2001年6月，全美整个月份发送3万条短信息。2002年6月，一年之后，共发送了10亿条
短信息。
HATTORI 哈托利
And wireless data like photos ("This little device goes here."), taken on your digital cell-phone. 无线数据，包括用你的数码手机拍照。（这个小装置插在这儿）
TOM WHEELER 汤姆·惠勒
You are looking really good, James. Okay. 詹姆斯，你看起来很不错。好的。
