Dog owners often have an incredible affinity with their canine companions, but a prototype technology could soon take pet-to-human communication to the next level.
主人和狗狗之間的關(guān)系通常非常密切，而現(xiàn)在出現(xiàn)的一個技術(shù)可以很快把他們之間的關(guān)系增進(jìn)到下一個階段。

No More Woof is a headset that uses brain-scanning technology to detect a dog's thought patterns, analyse them and translate them into the spoken word.
“讀懂狗狗心”是一款高科技耳機(jī)，它可以利用大腦掃描技術(shù)檢測小狗的想法，進(jìn)而分析、翻譯成人類的語言。

Potential dog phrases already identified by the developers include: "This is splendid!", "Leave me alone", "I am so very weary", "Who are you?" and "Erm, why are you guys leaving?"
目前已被開發(fā)者識別的小狗語言包括：“這簡直太棒了！”，“讓我自己待會兒”，“我累癱了”，“你是誰？”以及“嗯，為什么你們都走了？”

The technology used in No More Woof is a combination of the latest technologies in three different tech-areas, Electroencephalography (EEG) sensoring, micro-computing and special brain-computer interface software.
“讀懂狗狗心” 耳機(jī)中的技術(shù)運(yùn)用集合了三個不同技術(shù)領(lǐng)域中的最新成果，分別是腦電波傳感技術(shù)、微運(yùn)算技術(shù)和特殊的腦機(jī)接口軟件。

In the last decade, huge discoveries have been made to map out the human brain’s functions, but the developers say it is the first time anyone made a serious attempt to apply this groundbreaking technology on man’s best friend.
過去十年中，對人腦各功能的研究有了重大發(fā)現(xiàn)。但開發(fā)者稱，嘗試將這種開創(chuàng)性的技術(shù)運(yùn)用到人類最好的朋友——狗的身上尚屬首次。

Developers say they are only scraping the surface of possibilities. They want to go on and personalise the device to distinguish even more thoughts, and produce a combination of thoughts, like: "Who is that woman, she looks nice!"
開發(fā)者們說他們現(xiàn)在的研究還只是冰山一角。他們想進(jìn)一步開發(fā)并個性化這個裝置，讓它分辨出小狗們更多的想法并加以結(jié)合，例如“那個女的是誰？好漂亮！”

They also hope to use the device to let hurt or disabled pets control artificial limbs or other appliances.
他們也期待這個耳機(jī)能幫助那些受傷的或殘疾的寵物控制義肢或其他設(shè)備。

Finally, two-way communication is their "Holy Grail". A similar device to No More Woof could eventually be hooked up to humans translating our thoughts into "dog".
達(dá)到雙向交流是開發(fā)者們的“最終夢想”。他們希望一種類似于“讀懂狗狗心”的裝置也可以運(yùn)用到主人身上，把人類語言翻譯成小狗能聽懂的語言。
