　　今天和小编来一同学习新闻翻译:鼠标时代或将结束，双手取而代之，希望对大家有帮助。

　　据报道称，用户以后不必在鼠标垫上通过滑动鼠标，来使光标在屏幕上移动了。戴上一双特制手套，来操作一个名为G-Speak的系统就可以了。

　　Rather than navigate a cursor across thescreen by sliding a mouse across a mat, userswould don a pair of special gloves to operate thesystem known as G-Speak, telegraph.co.ukreported.

　　2002年，斯蒂文-斯皮尔伯格一部电影中的人物在研究复杂的刑事案件时，就运用了复杂的手势把数据从一个大屏幕转移到另一个大屏幕。

　　In the 2002 Steven Spielberg film characters use elaborate hand gestures to move dataacross giant screens as they study complex crimes.

　　G-Speak和电影中的电脑之所以相像并不是偶然的：John Underkoffler是这一系统的设计者，同时也是那个制片团队的一名科学顾问。

　　Any resemblance between G-Speak and the computers in the film is more than incidental:designer John Underkoffler, who developed the system, was one of the scientific advisers tothe production team.

　　与传统的(鼠标)“拖动、点击”的方式相比，通过人手的复杂运动，用户可以更加自由地进行屏幕操作。

　　该系统由洛杉矶电脑公司Oblong Industries开发。目前，该系统要占据整个房间的空间，但设计者希望能开发出更小一点的版本。

　　The system, developed by Oblong Industries, a Los Angeles-based computer company, cancurrently take up whole rooms but the designers hope to be able to develop much smallerversions.

　　大家希望，用于个人电脑的版本造价可以低至20英镑。

　　It is hoped that a desktop version could cost as little as ￡20.
