The Taipei International Flora Exposition gets underway Saturday.
台北国际花卉博览会在周六开始。
It’s the only exhibition hall without any real flowers.
这里是唯一没有真花的展览馆。
The pavilion displays the latest technologies in Taiwan, with sound
and motion sensors that enable digital flowers to interact with
visitors.
这座展馆展示台湾最新的科技,运用声音与动作感应器,让数位花朵与参观者互
动。
The hall, made to look like a futuristic forest, was decorated with a
giant mechanical flower. It moves to music piped through more than
30,000 paper-thin speakers in the shape of leaves.
打造成看起来像一座未来森林的大厅,装饰着一朵巨大的机械花,会随着像纸一
样薄、树叶形状的喇叭、所传送出的音乐移动。
Further into the pavilion, 3D flowers bend with the wave of a hand,
and florabots dance to music, lighting up when people approach.
再进入展馆内部,当人们一接近时,一挥手3D立体花朵就会随之弯下来,机械花
就会随着音乐跳舞。
[Vivian Hou, Asus]: "Humans and nature should be united as one body.
When you observe birds in the sky, they have their v-shaped
formations, or when you observe fish swimming in groups, you can see
that all nature organisms are interdependent. The florabots are also
designed into groups, and they can interact with humans so when they
detect visitors they will light up."
华硕公司的Vivian Hau说:「人类与自然应该结合为一体,当你观察天空中的鸟
儿,牠们有V字的形态,或是当你观察鱼儿成群游泳,你可以看到所有大自然的
有机体都是相互依赖的。花械花开也是以群组的方式设计的,它们可与人类互动
,所以当它们侦测到访客时,就会亮起来。」
The expo costs more than $395 million. Its 14 exhibition halls and
fields of flowers and plants spread over more than 200 acres. They
showcase more than 30 million flowers and the latest green
technology.
这项博览会花费超过3亿9千5百万元,有14个展馆与花田,占地超过200亩,展示
超过3千万朵花与最新的环保科技。
The Taipei City government is expecting 8-million visitors.
台北市政府预期会有800万名参观者。
Taipei is the seventh Asian city to host the international gardening
event.
台北是第7座亚洲城市主办此项国际园艺活动。
The 2010 Flora Expo has more than 30 countries participating, such as
the Netherlands, Japan, and Greece. It runs through the end of April.
2010年花卉博览会有超过30个国家参与,像是荷兰、日本与希腊。

《清醒》
一入红尘千百秋 生老病死从未休
功名利禄带不走 争来斗去苦与愁
辗转轮回为何事 常问自己何来由
冲破谎言找真相 大法能解心中忧
