小科技大用处! 三星推出针对早产婴儿APP

The thing about premature babies is that they arepremature, meaning that they don't get to spend asmuch time in the womb developing as they should.This means that when they are born, there is risksand dangers with regards to their development, andone of the ways to help deal with that is for the babyto hear their mother's voice.

早产婴儿未能在母亲的子宫中停留足够长的时间，这意味着他们在出生后会面临一定的生命危险。而帮助他们健康成长的方法之一就是让他们聆听母亲的声音。

Research has found that when they do, it helps theirbrains develop correctly, but when placed an incubator, it is obviously hard to do that.

研究发现，给早产婴儿听他们母亲的声音能够帮助他们的大脑良好发育。但是在他们还呆在保育器中时，这非常难实现。

This is why Samsung is developing an app called Voices of Life that will help with thedevelopment of premature babies. Basically with the app, it allows a mother to record herheartbeat and her voice.

这就是三星开发名为“生命之声”的app的原因。在这款app的帮助下，基本上，一位母亲可以录下她的声音和心跳声给孩子听。

The app will then remove any high frequencies to help mimic the sounds that a baby mighthear in the womb. The recording will then be played on speakers placed next to theincubator, thus allowing the baby to keep hearing their mother's voice even if the mom isn'tthere.

这款app可以消除所有高频声音，从而模拟婴儿在子宫内听到的声音。放置在保育箱旁边的扬声器会播放录音。就算母亲不在身边，婴儿们也能听见母亲的声音。

With statistics showing that there were 15 million premature babies born last year, no doubtthat this app will come in handy for the millions of parents and babies out there.

数据显示，去年有一千五百万名早产婴儿出生。那么毫无疑问这款app能够帮助上百万父母和他们的孩子。

Unfortunately Samsung has not stated when the app will be released or for which markets it isbeing released for, but hopefully we'll have more details soon.

可惜，三星公司到目前为止还是没公布这款app会在何时在哪个市场上架，但是我们希望能尽快得到更多细节信息。
