[科技] 买买买不用剁手 直接电击(双语)

　　再买就剁手！虽然很多人口上这么说，但实际做起来还是控制不了，看到银行卡余额才会目瞪口呆。现在购物狂们有福音啦，英国一家公司生产出一款手环，这款手环可与银行账户绑定，一旦余额降到一定程度，它就会发射255伏的电击，给你带来生理上的犹如“剁手”的真实触觉。

　　For many of us, checking our bank balances can result in a nasty shock if they have been unable to control their spending habits. But now a British company is hoping to turn this into a real physical sensation. A wristband that delivers a 255 volt electric shock can now be linked to bank accounts, to send a shock when the user's bank account reaches below a certain threshold.

　　这款手环2014年首次推出，是一家叫做巴甫洛克的美国公司为防止暴饮暴食、养成人们良好习惯而打造的商品。

　　The wristband was first launched in 2014 by a US-based company called Pavlok. At first it was designed as a 'personal coach on your wrist' and, to encourage the development of good habits and could even be used to help stop overeating.

　　此该产品还可以通过捆绑智能电表，控制恒温器，节省取暖费用。首席执行官大卫?韦伯说，此手环是为了帮助消费者做出更好的选择。他说：“这款设备旨在帮助人们应对财务状况的变化。如果你意志力强当然很好，但不是每个人都能控制住自己。”

　　It could also be used to save heating bills, by working with smart metres and encouraging people to turn their thermostats down. Chief executive David Webber said the idea was about consumer choice.'This is about reacting to changes in your financial well-being,' he said. 'Willpower is great if you've got it - not everybody has.'

　　但是萨里大学网络安全专家艾伦?伍德沃德教授对BBC表示，绑定的设备越多，安全风险越大。卡巴斯基实验室安全研究员利维乌?依托亚法说，“一些报道表明，这款手环在与顾客银行账户绑定的同时，也为黑客盗取银行账户信息提供了方便。”

　　But Professor Alan Woodward, a cybersecurity expert from Surrey University, told the BBC the more connections which are made between devices, the greater the risk of a security weakness.'According to reports, the device can link to a customer’s bank account, which could leave the door open for cybercriminals to access bank details.' Liviu Itoafa, security researcher at Kaspersky Lab said.
