不用掏出手机就能拒接来电，你觉得怎么样？这正是谷歌与李维斯正在展望的未来。

　　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，谷歌在旧金山举行的年度输入/输出开发者大会上宣布，两家公司正在合作研发一种“智能”牛仔裤，人们可以通过裤子来对自己的手机进行一些操作。

　　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.

　　此举是谷歌更宏大的“雅卡尔计划”的一部分，雅卡尔是一种智能纱线，纺织品制造商可以用其更便利地制造出电子服装。

　　谷歌与李维斯合作打造智能仔裤

　　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.

　　什么时候才能买到一条双方合作的李维斯智能仔裤目前尚不可知。但是我们已经知道了谷歌特制的机织纱布工作原理。在28日的演示中，我们在一小块布料上轻敲就可以控制音乐暂停和播放。你还可以在布料上滑动手指来控制音量。

　　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.

　　谷歌并不是第一个有这种想法的公司——许多大大小小的公司都试图创造可以连接手机的服装。不过，似乎谷歌创造的是一种常规布料，制造智能服装更加容易。

　　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.

　　谷歌宣称，我们在输入/输出会议上看到的只是冰山一角。设计师和研发者将会为这种智能布料开发专门的应用程序。
