  It's an age-old dilemma facing pub regulars and clubbers – how to enjoy a quiet conversation over the racket of fellow revellers and blaring music。
  如何在与会者的吵闹和喧嚣的音乐声中求得一份宁静呢?这是长久以来一直令酒吧会员们头疼的问题。
  Now a Scots design student has invented a revolutionary device, shaped like a goldfish bowl, that allows drinkers to enjoy a quiet chat – no matter how loud their fellow drinkers are shouting or how high the volume is on the jukebox。
  现在一名苏格兰学生巧妙的发明了这种革命性的装置,它像一个金鱼缸一样,戴上它的人不管周围的人怎么喧哗,音乐声音多么嘈杂,都不会影响自己安静的交谈。
  The lightweight speech bubbles, which filter out noise, come in two sizes – large for couples and a smaller version for individuals。
  这种特殊的能够过滤掉噪音的交谈装置,有两种类型,一种专门为情侣设计,一种是较小的为个人设计的类型,
  Called Social Spheres, the device for two is stationary and has a headsized hole at either side, creating a haven of peace for the participants。
  这种装置叫做“交际球”,它是固定的,在每一边上都有头部大小的一个洞,能给戴上它的人一个安静的天堂。
  The individual Social Sphere is mobile and also has the holes。
  为个人设计的型号同样也有洞,但是人们可以戴上它移动。

  People using it have to lean close to each other so they can talk and listen to each other. The design cuts out most of the ambient noise。
  人们在球里交谈的时候需要互相靠近,这样他们才能交谈并倾听对方。而这种设计会过滤掉大部分的环境噪音。
