I believe the reach of NeuroEmbodied Design will extend far beyond limb replacement
我相信，神经体现设计的范围将远超替换肢体的范围，
and will carry humanity into realms that fundamentally redefine human potential.
它会将人类带入从根本上重新定义人类潜能的领域。
In this 21st century, designers will extend the nervous system into powerfully strong exoskeletons
在二十一世纪，设计师们会把神经系统延伸到强大的外骨骼，
that humans can control and feel with their minds.
人类能用思想去控制和感知它们。
Muscles within the body can be reconfigured for the control of powerful motors,
体内的肌肉可重新配置，以控制强大的马达，
and to feel and sense exoskeletal movements, augmenting humans' strength, jumping height and running speed.
并感受和感知外骨骼的动作，进而增强人类力量、跳跃高度和跑步速度。
In this 21st century, I believe humans will become superheroes.
在二十一世紀，我相信人类会成为超级英雄。

Humans may also extend their bodies into non-anthropomorphic structures, such as wings,
人类也可以延伸自己的身体到拟人化的结构中，如翅膀，
controlling and feeling each wing movement within the nervous system.
在神经系统内控制和感受每一个翅膀动作。
Leonardo da Vinci said, "When once you have tasted flight,
达芬奇说过：“一旦尝过飞行的滋味，
you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been and there you will always long to return."
在地上行走时，你的眼睛依然会看向天空，因为你曾去过那里，而且会一直想回到那里。”
During the twilight years of this century,
在本世纪末，
I believe humans will be unrecognizable in morphology and dynamics from what we are today.
与今天的我们相比，我相信人类在形态和动力学方面将发生颠覆性的改变。
Humanity will take flight and soar.
人类将会腾飞并翱翔。
Jim Ewing fell to earth and was badly broken, but his eyes turned skyward, where he always longed to return.
虽然吉姆·尤恩坠地并严重受伤，但他的眼睛看着天空，总是渴望回归。
After his accident, he not only dreamed to walk again, but also to return to his chosen sport of mountain climbing.
事故后，他不仅梦想能再次走路，还梦想回到他所选择的登山运动。
At MIT, Team Cyborg built Jim a specialized limb for the vertical world,
在麻省理工学院，生化人团队专门打造了用于垂直世界的特殊肢体，
a brain-controlled leg with full position and movement sensations.
即由大脑控制、具有完整位置和动作感觉的腿。
Using this technology, Jim returned to the Cayman Islands, the site of his accident,
用这种技术，吉姆重回开曼群岛的事故发生现场，
rebuilt as a cyborg to climb skyward once again.
作为被重建的生化人，再次向着天空攀登。

演讲介绍

仿生学设计师休·赫尔说，人类将很快拥有新的身体，这将永远模糊自然界和人造世界之间的界限。在一次令人难忘的演讲中，他详细介绍了“神经胚胎设计”，这是他在麻省理工学院媒体实验室开发的一种创造机器人功能的方法，他向我们展示了一个未来，我们将以一种重新定义人类潜能的方式增强我们的身体-也许，我们会把我们变成超级英雄。“在本世纪的暮年里，我相信人类在形态和动态上将无法从今天的我们认识到，”赫尔说。“人类将飞翔并翱翔。”
