Up to 40 percent of road deaths around the world are thought to be caused by alcohol. 世界上40%以上的交通死亡事故都由醉驾造成。 But one day, cars could detect whether a driver’s voice sounds drunk, to stop them from driving and prevent accidents. 但也许有一天，车辆可以根据驾驶员的声音自动检测他们饮酒与否，从而阻止其驾车、预防交通事故发生。 Researchers in Germany have created the first library of drunk speech patterns, which could be used to predict drunkenness by listening for vocal cues. 德国研究人员创立了世界上第一个“醉后语音模式”图书馆。这样通过分析语音信息就能预测驾驶员是否处于醉酒状态。 Called the Alcohol Language Corpus, the database was made between 2007 and 2009 by giving people too much alcohol to drink, before recording conversations conducted in a stopped car, where the drunk person was sitting in the passenger seat. 这个名为“酒后语言语料库”的数据库建于2007年到2009年间。实验场所是在一辆没有开动的汽车上，大量饮酒后的受测者坐在乘客席上，他们说的话都会被录下来。 There are currently conversations from 162 German men and women in the publicly-available audio database. 该音频数据库对大众开放，目前的对话资料来自162名德国男性和女性。 |
