According to the Daily Mail on December 26, a refrigerator of the future that tells you what to cook with your leftovers and automatically re-orders fresh food is being designed in the UK.
英国正在研制一种新型冰箱，可以用它拿剩菜做出美味佳肴，它还可以根据新鲜程度自动调整食物的摆放顺序。

The self-cleaning "refrigerator of the future" will automatically place supermarket home delivery orders when required and move food near its use by date to the front of the shelves.
这种冰箱会自动下订单，让超市送货上门，还会把保质期快到的食物放在最前面。

With Brits putting in 36 million hours every year of free overtime - leaving little time for household chores - the refrigerator could help save precious time during hectic modern-day lives.
由于英国人工作繁忙，几乎没有时间做家务，这种冰箱就可以为上班族节省宝贵的时间。

Ultrasound-scanning technology built into the door will allow the refrigerator to "swipe and capture" the food on a plate before and after mealtime, meaning it can assess what type and amount of food is wasted.
冰箱门所采用的超声波扫描技术可自动“捕捉”盘子里的食物，评估被浪费的食物的种类和数量。
