What if you never had to pull out your phone to dismiss an incoming call? That's the type of future Google and Levi's are envisioning.
不用掏出手機(jī)就能拒接來(lái)電，你覺(jué)得怎么樣？這正是谷歌與李維斯正在展望的未來(lái)。

The two companies are partnering to create a pair of "smart" jeans that you can use to perform certain actions on your phone, Google announced during its annual I/O developer conference in San Francisco on Friday.
5月29日，谷歌在舊金山舉行的年度輸入/輸出開(kāi)發(fā)者大會(huì)上宣布，兩家公司正在合作研發(fā)一種“智能”牛仔褲，人們可以通過(guò)褲子來(lái)對(duì)自己的手機(jī)進(jìn)行一些操作。

The move is part of a bigger initiative by Google called "Project Jacquard," which is essentially a type of smart yarn that would allow textile manufacturers to create electronic clothing more easily.
此舉是谷歌更宏大的“雅卡爾計(jì)劃”的一部分，雅卡爾是一種智能紗線，紡織品制造商可以用其更便利地制造出電子服裝。

There's no word on when you'll actually be able to buy a pair of the Levi's pants that are to come from the partnership. But we got an idea of how fabric with Google's special yarn woven inside would work. During a demo we saw on Thursday, we tapped a small section of a piece of fabric to pause and play music. You could also swipe the fabric to control volume.
什么時(shí)候才能買(mǎi)到一條雙方合作的李維斯智能仔褲目前尚不可知。但是我們已經(jīng)知道了谷歌特制的機(jī)織紗布工作原理。在28日的演示中，我們?cè)谝恍K布料上輕敲就可以控制音樂(lè)暫停和播放。你還可以在布料上滑動(dòng)手指來(lái)控制音量。

Google isn't the first to dream up such an idea — plenty of companies large and small are working on creating clothing that can connect to your phone. But it sounds like Google is creating a common type of thread that would make it easier to create such devices.
谷歌并不是第一個(gè)有這種想法的公司——許多大大小小的公司都試圖創(chuàng)造可以連接手機(jī)的服裝。不過(guò)，似乎谷歌創(chuàng)造的是一種常規(guī)布料，制造智能服裝更加容易。

What we're seeing at I/O is just the tip of the iceberg, Google says. Designers and developers will be creating apps that are tailored to these types of smart clothing.
谷歌宣稱(chēng)，我們?cè)谳斎?輸出會(huì)議上看到的只是冰山一角。設(shè)計(jì)師和研發(fā)者將會(huì)為這種智能布料開(kāi)發(fā)專(zhuān)門(mén)的應(yīng)用程序。
