十大新興技術：未來會有多酷炫？

The 2015 list of the greatest emerging technologies was recently published by Bernard Meyerson, chief innovation officer of IBM and chair of the World Economic Forum’s Meta-Council on Emerging Technologies.
最近IBM的首席創新官兼世界經濟論壇新興科技委員會主席伯納德·邁耶森發佈了2015年最棒的新興技術清單。

The council, made of 18 technology gurus, uses its shared intelligence and discretion to identify the year’s most captivating, promising and interesting innovations. The annual list represents an effort to bring attention to the new technologies and to close the gaps in funding and regulation that often inhibit progress.
委員會由18位科技專家組成，羣策羣力鑑定了年度最有魅力、最有前途以及最有意思的創新技術。這份年度榜單着力於呼籲人們關注新興技術，並彌補因資金和規則阻礙發展帶來的差距。

Here is the 2015 list:
以下是2015年榜單：

1. Fuel cell vehicles
1. 燃料電池車

These cars will be powered by batteries more efficient and environmentally sound than electric and hydrocarbon-powered predecessors.
比起以前靠電力和碳烴化合物驅動的車輛，這些車將由電池更加高效且環保地驅動。

2. Next-generation robotics
2. 下一代機器人

The next generation of robots will interact with humans and even enhance them, in the form of prosthetics.
下一代機器人將能夠和人類互動，甚至能用假肢擁抱人類。

3. Recyclable thermoset plastics
3. 可回收熱固性塑料

A recyclable version of a plastic that formerly was not.
