VOA常速英语2019--通过科技手段与大屠杀幸存者对话

（单词翻译）

What’s your name? My name is Pin Haas Goethe. Imagine that you’re going to be able to sit down and talk with a holocaust¹ survivor² about their life and ask them questions just like you might do in the present in future. This is what the project dimensions and testimony³ allows users to do to explore history in a real and personal way. “Do you hate the perpetrators?” “I don’t hate those perpetrators.” To make this possible, it starts with a recorded interview with a survivor. “So each interview we’ve done ranges from 12 hours to almost 30 hours, which means that we come out of each interview with over a thousand unique questions answered. Once we have all the questions in the database, we use voice recognition software, a little bit like you would use Siri iPhone. The speech is converted into text. It then searches the database to say, in my database of answers do I have something that matches the query⁴ that’s being asked? And then responds as if it’s answering the question, but what you see is a video. The video of the interviewees is filmed in a unique way. We don’t just film one camera angle them straight on.”

你叫什么名字？我叫皮恩·哈斯·歌德。想象一下你可以坐下来跟一位大屠杀幸存者聊他们的生活，也可以问他们一些问题，就像现在一样，但场景是未来的。这个项目进行的方式和期间获得的证词可以让使用者以真实、个性化的方式探索历史。“您恨行凶的人吗？”“我不恨他们。”为了实现这一切，要先从录音采访幸存者开始。“每个采访大概要在12-30小时，也就是说，每个采访要问1000多个不同的问题。等问题都录入数据库之后，我们就会通过语音识别软件，类似苹果手机的智能语音助手（Siri），从而将语音转换为文字。然后，它会检索数据库，也就是回答的数据库，看看数据库里是否有能与问题匹配的回答。然后再做出响应，就好像回答问题一样，但呈现在人们眼前的是视频的形式。受访者的视频是以独特方式拍摄的。我们不是简单地用一架摄像机单角度地进行采访”

We film a 360 degrees multiple different camera angles. So a 3D model can be created in the future when technology advances to one day allow users to be able to walk around a 3D video footage of the survivor. Are you a hopeful person? For now, this experience has been installed in several Holocaust Museums in the United States.

我们拍摄的角度是360°三维模型未来可以产生，那时候，科技已经进步到可以让用户畅游幸存者的三维视频。你是乐观的人吗？目前，这种体验在美国的几家大屠杀纪念馆中已经上线了。

So far, twenty people have participated in this project. 19 are holocaust survivors⁵. There is also one participant who survived the Nanjing Massacre⁶ in China in the 1930s. Survivors will also be interviewed in their native language as the project expands.

目前已经有20人参加了该项目，其中19人是大屠杀的幸存者。此外还有一位参与者曾经历过上世纪30年代中国发生的南京大屠杀。随着项目的扩大，幸存者也会接受母语采访。
