日本电气株式会社红外技术公司最近研发出一款“体温镜”，可以“照”出发烧等流感症状。

Japanese firm NEC Avio Infrared Technologies has announced the development of a mirror that can detect flu-like symptoms, such as a fever. The Thermo Mirror has a built-in thermometer, but an individual does not need to make any physical contact with the device for it to measure their temperature, making it a handy reusable instrument for measuring flu.
这款“体温镜”配有内置体温计，可以在无需接触的情况下测出体温，使之成为方便快捷而且可重复使用的流感测量仪。

While a person admires their beauty or frets about how much extra weight they put on over Christmas, the mirror displays their temperature and an alarm sounds if they are deemed feverish.
当你对镜欣赏容貌，或者为圣诞节长胖了不少而烦恼时，“体温镜”就可以显示出你的体温，如果发烧还会发出警报。

NEC Avio said that it expects that the device will be used in corporate receptions, schools, hospitals and public facilities, but it could also replace more expensive technology used in airports. Many airports currently use thermography cameras to detect feverish travellers to prevent them from travelling in a constricted air space, a perfect condition for spreading disease.
日本电气株式会社表示，这款“体温镜”可在公司接待处、学校、医院、以及其它公共场所使用，而且还可以替代机场使用的更昂贵的体温测量仪。很多机场目前使用热成像摄像机来检测发烧旅客，禁止其登机，因为狭小的机舱极易传播疾病。

These devices are expensive, however, usually costing well over $10,000 each, but the Thermo Mirror can be bought for either 98,000 yen ($1,180) or 120,000 yen ($1,445), depending on the version, which means you can get a lot more for your money.
机场使用的热成像摄像机非常昂贵，每台的单价常超过1万美元，但此次研发出的两款“体温镜”单价仅为9.8万日元（1180美元）和12万日元（1445美元），可以省下一大笔钱。

NEC Avio plans to sell 5,000 units of the Thermo Mirror this year.
日本电气株式会社计划今年售出五千面“体温镜”。

With the recent increases in cases of swine flu, we may in future ditch the doctor to turn to our trusted mirror and say: "Mirror, mirror, on the wall, do I have the flu at all?"
最近甲流病例增加，但将来我们可能不再去看医生，而是照着我们信赖的镜子说：“墙上的镜子，你告诉我，我得流感了吗？”
