　没有声音的闹钟：让香味唤醒你
This scent-producing alarm clock wakes you up with the smell of coffee and croissants
Nobody likes waking up in the morning to the nagging, electronic bleep of regular alarm clocks or smartphones, but the smell of just-baked croissants and freshly roasted coffee? Now you're talking.
没有人喜欢早晨普通闹钟或智能手机里闹铃发出的吵闹不休的声音，那刚烤好的羊角面包和刚煮好的咖啡的味道呢?这还差不多。
The Sensorwake, currently debuting at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, takes a vastly different approach to getting your attention when it's time to wake up. Instead of using sound to stir you, the clock uses smell, thanks to the &timed release of an aroma of your choice&.
气味闹钟最近在拉斯维加斯举行的消费电子展上首次登台亮相，它采用一种完全不同的方式喊你起床。比起利用声音来刺激你，这个闹钟会利用你事先选择好的香味喊你起床。
The brainchild of 19-year-old Guillaume Rolland, an engineering student from France, the Sensorwake was successfully crowd-funded last year to the tune of US$200,000, and Rolland is now taking pre-orders for retail units that will ship in the first half of 2016.
法国19岁的工科学生纪尧姆&罗兰德想出了气味闹钟这个主意，去年他成功地利用这个想法众筹到了20万美元。现在罗兰德接受零售单位预定，第一批产品将在2016年上半年陆续发出。
The device functions a little bit like a toaster, with reusable scent capsules inserted into a slot along the top edge of the clock. Each capsule lasts for &30 awakenings&, meaning you'll get about a month out of a scent before you need to replace it.
气味闹钟的工作原理有点类似烤面包机，人们需在闹钟顶部插入能重复使用的气味胶囊。每个胶囊能叫醒你30次，意味着你在需要替换气味胶囊之前，可以闻一个月的香味。
At launch, there will be six aromas available via the Sensorwake website, with plans to sell them via retail outlets later (provided the product is enough of a success, we're guessing).
该闹钟面世之后将在气味闹钟网站上推出六种香味胶囊，罗兰德打算随后通过零售商来出售香味胶囊(如果产品足够成功的话)。
Aromas are bundled in packs. There's the delicious-sounding 'Continental Breakfast Pack', which comes with one Espresso aroma capsule and one Hot Croissant capsule. The 'Enjoy the Break Pack' includes Seaside (monoi, tiare flower) and Lush Jungle (cut grass, leaves). There's also the 'Vitalisation Aromatherapy Pack', which offers a Chocolate aroma plus Invigorating Peppermint. Mmm!
香味胶囊以组合套装的形式出售。有听起来很美味的&欧式早餐套装&，使用者们能闻到浓缩咖啡和热羊角面包的香味。&享受休憩时光套装&则能让你闻到海的味道(摩诺伊油、提亚蕾花)和热带丛林的味道(草和树叶割开的味道)。还有&活力香味套装&，能让你闻到巧克力和让人精力充沛的薄荷气味。
But do scents work as well as a regular audio alarm in terms of waking you up? While we might hate the sound of conventional alarms, they seem to be jarringly effective for most regular sleepers. Rolland claims that the Sensorwake is just as good as audio alarms, with internal testing showing his scent-based alarm wakes 99 percent of people in 2 minutes.
但气味真的能像普通闹钟一样把你叫醒吗?虽然我们很厌恶闹钟的声音，但其实对于大部分沉睡者来说它们才是最有效的闹钟。罗兰德宣称气味闹钟和发出声音的闹钟一样好，内部测试表明他的气味闹钟能在两分钟内叫醒99%的人。
While the Sensorwake could be as effective as Rolland claims, previous research on the rousing abilities of scents hasn't been so positive. A 1997 study by fire and rescue workers in Irondale, Alabama was designed to test whether adults woke up in the presence of smoke, water and citrus odours. Of 10 sleeping participants, only two woke up when exposed to the aromas.
气味闹钟的效果如何我们尚无法判定，不过先前有研究发现气味叫醒人们的能力不容乐观。1997年一项测试了阿拉巴马州艾昂戴尔消防员的研究，利用烟味、水和柑橘味来叫醒他们。在十名参与者中，仅两人在闻到味道之后醒了过来。
A subsequent study at Brown University in 2004 also found that scents were not particularly effective at waking sleepers. Pepperment and pyridine scents were presented in different concentrations to sleepers at different stages of sleep. The odours scored mixed results, while audio tones played over a speaker were significantly more effective at rousing the sleepers, leading the researchers to conclude that &human olfaction is not reliably capable of alerting a sleeper&.
2004年布朗大学一项后续研究也发现，气味并不能有效地叫醒沉睡者。他们给陷入不同睡眠阶段的参与者闻不同浓度的薄荷味和氮苯味，参与者们的反应不一，但发出声音的闹钟效果明显更好。这促使研究人员们得出&人类的嗅觉并不足以叫醒一名沉睡者&的结论。
The Sensorwake comes with an insurance policy for any sleepers who aren't roused by its primary feature. For extra-heavy sleepers or those with stuffed noses who don't register the scent, there's a backup audio alarm that's triggered to go off if the aroma hasn't woken you up within 3 minutes.
气味闹钟还为每个沉睡者们准备了保险措施，避免他们出现醒不来的情况。对于那些酣睡者或闻不到气味的鼻塞者，如果气味闹钟在3分钟内还没有叫醒你，那么备用的声音闹钟就会被触发。

Song Lyrics: Beauty and the Beast
[Lumiere:]
Ma chere Mademoiselle, it is with deepest pride
and greatest pleasure that we welcome you tonight.
And now we invite you to relax, let us pull up a
chair as the dining room proudly presents - your
Be our guest
Be our guest
Put our service to the test
Tie your napkin 'round your neck, cherie
And we provide the rest
Soup du jour
Hot hors d'oeuvres
hy, we only live to serve
Try the grey stuff, it's delicious
Don't believe me? Ask the dishes
They can sing
They can dance
After all, Miss, this is France
And a dinner here is never second best
Go on, unfold your menu
Take a glance and then you'll
Be our guest
Oui, our guest
Be our guest
Beef ragout
Cheese souffle
Pie and pudding "en flambe"
We'll prepare and serve with flair
A culinary cabaret
You're alone
And you're scared
But the banquet's all prepared
No one's gloomy or complaining
While the flatware's entertaining
We tell jokes
I do tricks
With my fellow candlesticks
And it's all in perfect taste
That you can bet
Come on and lift your glass
You've won your own free pass
To be out guest
[Lumiere:]
If you're stressed
It's fine dining we suggest
Be our guest
Be our guest
Be our guest
[Lumiere:]
Life is so unnerving
For a servat who's not serving
He's not whole without a soul to wait upon
Ah, those good old days when we were useful
Suddenly those good old days are gone
Ten years we've been rusting
Needing so much more than dusting
Needing exercise, a chance to use our skills
Most days we just lay around the castle
Flabby, fat and lazy
You walked in and oops-a-daisy!
[Mrs Potts:]
It's a guest
It's a guest
Sakes alive, well I'll be blessed
Wine's been poured and thank the Lord
I've had the napkins freshly pressed
With dessert
She'll want tea
And my dear that's fine with me
While the cups do their soft shoeing
I'll be bubbling, I'll be brewing
I'll get warm
Piping hot
Heaven's sakes! Is that a spot?
Clean it up! We want the company impressed
We've got a lot to do
Is it one lump or two
For you, our guest?
She's our guest
[Mrs Potts:]
She's our guest
She's our guest
Be our guest
Be our guest
Our command is your request
It's ten years since we had anybody here
And we're obsessed
With your meal
With your ease
Yes, indeed, we aim to please
While the candlelight's still glowing
Let us help you
We'll keep going
Course by course
One by one
'Til you shout, "Enough! I'm done!"
Then we'll sing you off to sleep as you digest
Tonight you'll prop your feet up
But for now, let's eat up
Be our guest
Be our guest
Be our guest
Please, be our guest
Little town
It's a quiet village
Like the one before
Little town
Full of little people
Waking up to say:
[Townsfolk:]
Bonjour! Bonjour! Bonjour!
There goes the baker with his tray, like always
The same old bread and rolls to sell
Ev'ry morning just the same
Since the morning that we came
To this poor provincial town
Good Morning, Belle!
'Morning, Monsieur.
Where are you off to?
The bookshop. I just finished the most wonderful story
about a beanstalk and an ogre and a -
That's nice. Marie! The baguettes! Hurry up! )
[Townsfolk:]
Look there she goes that girl is strange, no question
Dazed and distracted, can't you tell?
Never part of any crowd
'Cause her head's up on some cloud
No denying she's a funny girl that Belle
[Woman I:]
How is your fam'ly?
[Woman II:]
[Woman II:]
How is your wife?
[Woman III:]
I need six eggs
[Man III:]
That's too expensive
There must be more than this provincial life
[Bookseller:]
Ah, Belle.
Good Morning. I've come to return the book I borrowed.
[Bookseller:]
Finished already?
Oh, I couldn't put it down. Have you got anything new?
[Bookseller:]
Ha Ha! Not since yesterday.
That's all right. I'll borrow . . . . . this one!
[Bookseller:]
That one? But you've read it twice!
Well, it's my favorite! Far off places, daring swordfights,
magic spells, a prince in disguise -
[Bookseller:]
If you like it all that much, it's yours!
[Bookseller:]
Well, thank you. Thank you very much!
[Townsfolk:]
Look there she goes that girl is so peculiar
I wonder if she's feeling well
With a dreamy far-off look
And her nose stuck in a book
What a puzzle to the rest of us is Belle
Oh, isn't this amazing?
It's my fav'rite part because you'll see
Here's where she meets Prince Charming
But she won't discover that it's him 'til chapter three
Now it's no wonder that her name means "beauty"
Her looks have got no parallel
[Shopkeeper:]
But behind that fair facade
I'm afraid she's rather odd
Very diff'rent from the rest of us
[Townsfolk:]
She's nothing like the rest of us
Yes, diff'rent from the rest of us is Belle
Wow! You didn't miss a shot, Gaston! You're the greatest
hunter in the whole world!
No beast alive stands a chance against you. Ha ha ha! And
no girl, for that matter.
It's true, LeFou. And I've got my sights set on that one.
Hm! The inventor's daughter?
She's the one - the lucky girl I'm going to marry.
But she's -
The most beautiful girl in town.
I know, but -
That makes her the best. And don't I deserve the best?
Well, of course! I mean you do, but -
Right from the moment when I met her, saw her
I said she's gorgeous and I fell
Here in town there's only she
Who is beautiful as me
So I'm making plans to woo and marry Belle
[Bimbettes:]
Look there he goes
Isn't he dreamy?
Monsieur Gaston
Oh he's so cute
Be still my heart
I'm hardly breathing
He's such a tall, dark, strong and handsome brute
[Man III:]
You call this bacon?
[Woman I:]
What lovely grapes!
Some cheese
[Woman II:]
'scuse me!
[Cheese merchant:] I'll get the knife
Please let me through!
[Woman I:]
This bread -
Those fish -
[Woman I:]
it's stale!
they smell!
Madame's mistaken.
There must be more than this provincial life!
Just watch, I'm going to make Belle my wife!
[Townsfolk:]
Look there she goes a girl who's strange but special
A most peculiar mad'moiselle
It's a pity and a sin
She doesn't quite fit in
'Cause she really is a funny girl
A beauty but a funny girl
She really is a funny girl
That Belle
Is he gone? Can you imagine? He asked me to marry him.
Me, the wife of that boorish, brainless . . .
"Madame Gaston!"
Can't you just see it?
"Madame Gaston!"
His "little wife"
No sir! Not me!
I guarantee it
I want much more than this provincial life
I want adventure in the great wide somewhere
I want it more than I can tell
And for once it might be grand
To have someone understand
I want so much more than they've got planned
Who does she think she is? That girl has tangled with
the wrong man! No one says "no" to Gaston!
Heh heh. Darn right.
Dismissed! Rejected! Publicly Humiliated! Why, it's
more than I can bear.
More beer?
What for? Nothing helps. I'm disgraced.
Who, you? Never! Gaston, you've got to pull yourself
Gosh it disturbs me to see you, Gaston
Looking so down in the dumps
Every guy here'd love to be you, Gaston
Even when taking your lumps
There's no man in town as admired as you
You're ev'ryone's favorite guy
Ev'ryone's awed and inspired by you
And it's not very hard to see why
No one's slick as Gaston
No one's quick as Gaston
No one's neck's as incredibly thick as Gaston
For there's no man in town half as manly
Perfect, a pure paragon
You can ask any Tom, Dick or Stanley
And they'll tell you whose team they prefer to be on
No one's been like Gaston
A king pin like Gaston
No one's got a swell cleft in his chin like Gaston
As a specimen, yes, I'm intimidating
My what a guy, that Gaston
Give five "hurrahs!"
Give twelve "hip-hips!"
Gaston is the best
And the rest is all drips
No one fights like Gaston
Douses lights like Gaston
In a wrestling match nobody bites like Gaston
[Bimbettes:]
For there's no one as burly and brawny
As you see I've got biceps to spare
Not a bit of him's scraggly or scrawny
(That's right!)
And ev'ry last inch of me's covered with hair
[Cronies:]
No one hits like Gaston
[Townsman:]
Matches wits like Gaston
In a spitting match nobody spits like Gaston
I'm espcially good at expectorating
Ten points for Gaston!
When I was a lad I ate four dozen eggs
Ev'ry morning to help me get large
And now that I'm grown I eat five dozen eggs
So I'm roughly the size of a barge
No one shoots like Gaston
Makes those beauts like Gaston
Then goes tromping around wearing boots like Gaston
I use antlers in all of my decorating
Say it again
Who's a man among men?
And then say it once more
Who's the hero next door?
Who's a super success?
Don't you know? Can't you guess?
Ask his fans and his five hangers-on
There's just one guy in town who's got all of it down
And his name's G-A-S- T -
[Maurice:]
Help! Someone help me!
[Tavern keeper:] Maurice?
[Maurice:]
Please! Please, I need your help. He's got her - he's
got her locked in the dungeon!
[Maurice:]
Belle. We must go. N-not a minute to lose!
Whoa! Slow down, Maurice. Who's got Belle locked in a
[Maurice:]
A beast! A horrible, monstrous beast!
[Patron I:]
Is it a big beast?
[Maurice:]
[Patron II:]
With a long, ugly snout?
[Maurice:]
Hideously ugly!
[Drinker III:]
And sharp, cruel fangs?
[Maurice:]
Yes! Yes! Will you help me?
All right, old man. We'll help you out.
[Maurice:]
You will? Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you!
[Tavern keeper:] Crazy old Maurice.
[Patron I:]
He's always good for a laugh.
Crazy old Maurice, hmmm?
Crazy old Maurice. Hmmm.
LeFou, I'm afraid I've been thinking
A dangerous pastime
But that whacky old coot is Belle's father
And his sanity's only "so-so"
Now the wheels in my head have been turning
Since I looked at that loony, old man
See, I've promised myself I'd be married to Belle
And right now I'm evolving a plan
If I . . . {whisper}
Then we . . . {whisper}
No! Would she . . .
{whisper} Guess!
Now I get it!
No one plots like Gaston
Takes cheap shots like Gaston
Plans to persecute harmless crackpots like Gaston
So his marriage we soon'll be celebrating
My what a guy!
The Beast will make off with your children.
He'll come after them in the night.
We're not safe till his head is mounted on my wall! I
say we kill the Beast!
We're not safe until he's dead
He'll come stalking us at night
Set to sacrifice our children to his monstrous appetite
[Man III:]
He'll wreak havoc on our village if we let him wander free
So it's time to take some action, boys
It's time to follow me
Through the mist
Through the woods
Through the darkness and the shadows
It's a nightmare but it's one exciting ride
Say a prayer
Then we're there
At the drawbridge of a castle
And there's something truly terrible inside
It's a beast
He's got fangs
Razor sharp ones
Massive paws
Killer claws for the feast
Hear him roar
See him foam
But we're not coming home
'Til he's dead
Good and dead
Kill the Beast!
No! I won't let you do this!
If you're not with us, you're against us!
Bring the old man!
[Maurice:]
Get your hands off me!
We can't have them running off to warn the creature.
Let us out!
We'll rid the village of this Beast. Who's with me?
I am! I am! I am! )
Light your torch
Mount your horse
Screw your courage to the sticking place
We're counting on Gaston to lead the way
Through a mist
Through a wood
Where within a haunted castle
Something's lurking that you don't see ev'ry day
It's a beast
One as tall as a mountain
We won't rest
'Til he's good and deceased
Sally forth
Grab your sword
Grab your bow
Praise the Lord and here we go!
We'll lay siege to the castle and bring back his head!
I have to warn the Beast! This is all my fault! Oh, Papa,
what are we going to do?
[Maurice:]
Now, now, we'll think of something.
We don't like
What we don't understand
In fact it scares us
And this monster is mysterious at least
Bring your guns
Bring your knives
Save your children and your wives
We'll save our village and our lives
We'll kill the Beast!
[Cogsworth:]
I knew it! I knew it was foolish to get our hopes up.
[Lumiere:]
Maybe it would have been better if she had never come at all.
Could it be?
[Mrs Potts:]
Is it she?
[Lumiere:]
Sacre Bleu! Invaders!
[Cogsworth:]
Encroachers!
[Mrs Potts:]
And they have the mirror!
[Cogsworth:]
Warn the Master! If it's a fight they want, we'll be
ready for them! Who's with me?
Take whatever booty you can find. But remember, the
Beast is mine!
[Objects:]
Hearts ablaze
Banners high
We go marching into battle
Unafraid although the danger just increased
Raise the flag
Sing the song
Here we come, we're fifty strong
And fifty Frenchmen can't be wrong
Let's kill the Beast!
[Mrs Potts:]
Pardon me, Master.
Leave me in peace.
[Mrs Potts:]
But sir! The castle is under attack!
Kill the Beast!
Kill the Beast
[Lumiere:]
This isn't working!
[Featherduster:] Oh Lumiere, we must do something!
[Lumiere:]
Wait, I know! )
Kill the Beast!
Kill the Beast!
[Mrs Potts:]
What shall we do, Master?
It doesn't matter now. Just let them come.
Kill the Beast!
Kill the Beast!
Kill the Beast!
Tale as old as time
True as it can be
Barely even friends
Then somebody bends
Unexpectedly
Just a little change
Small to say the least
Both a little scared
Neither one prepared
Beauty and the Beast
Ever just the same
Ever a surprise
Ever as before
Ever just as sure
As the sun will rise
Tale as old as time
Tune as old as song
Bittersweet and strange
Finding you can change
Learning you were wrong
Certain as the sun
Rising in the east
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the Beast
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the Beast
There's something sweet
And almost kind
But he was mean and he was coarse and unrefined
And now he's dear
And so I'm sure
I wonder why I didn't see it there before
She glanced this way
I thought I saw
And when we touched she didn't shudder at my paw
No it can't be
I'll just ignore
But then she's never looked at me that way before
New and a bit alarming
Who'd have ever thought that this could be?
True that he's no Prince Charming
But there's something in him that I simply didn't see
[Lumiere:]
Well, who'd have thought?
[Mrs Potts:]
Well, bless my soul
[Cogsworth:]
Well, who'd have known?
[Mrs Potts:]
Well, who indeed?
[Lumiere:]
And who'd have guessed they'd come together on their own?
[Mrs Potts:]
It's so peculiar. Wait and see
[Lumiere and Cogsworth:] We'll wait and see
[All three:]
A few days more
There may be something there that wasn't there before
[Cogsworth:]
You know, perhaps there's something there that wasn't
there before
[Mrs Potts:]
There may be something there that wasn't there before
