中英双语新闻报道:一个时代的结束
MP3
格式正式宣告终结
Now,
22
years
later,
the
MP3
truly
is
dead,
accordingto
the
people who invented it.

年后的今天,
MP3
格式的发明者宣布了它
的正式终结。
The Fraunhofer
Institute for Integrated Circuits, adivision
2
of
the
state-funded
German
researchinstitution
that
bankrolled the
MP3's development inthe late '80s,
recently
announced
that
its
"licensingprogram
for
certain
MP3
related
patents
andsoftware
of
Technicolor
and
Fraunhofer IIS has
beenterminated."
MP3
诞生于
上世纪
80
年代末,
由德国国立研究机
构夫琅和费集
成电路研究所资助研发。近日,该研究所宣布“特艺集团和夫琅和费
集成电路研究所已经终止了某些
MP3
相关专
利的授权”
。
Bernhard
Grill, director of that Fraunhofer division and
one
of the principals in the
developmentof the MP3, told NPR over
email
that
another
audio
format,
AAC
;
or
"Advanced
Audio
Coding,"which
his
organization
also
helped
create
;
is
now
the
"de
facto
standard
for
music
downloadand videos on mobile
phones." He said AAC is
"more
efficient
than
MP3
and
offers
a
lot
morefunctionality."
夫琅和
费集成电路研究所主任伯恩哈德
;
格里尔和
MP3
的一位
研发负责人,在一封寄给
NPR
的邮件中表示,研究所发明的另一种
音频格式高级音
频编码
(ACC)
已经成为了手机下载音乐和视频等内
容的标准,
ACC
格式拥有更高的效率和更强大
的功能。
As
Stephen
Witt
illustrates
throughout
his
excellent
opening chapters
in Witt's How Music GotFree, the MP3,
3
before
upending the musical world as we knew it, almost
died
in the research lab.
史蒂
芬
;
维特在
《音乐是怎么变得免费的》
开篇中写道,
早在
MP3
颠覆整个音乐产业之前,它就已经死在了实验室里。
The
team
of
engineers
that
invented
the
format
was
attempting to make it possible to
sendaudio over telephone
lines,
which
could
only
transmit
small
amounts
of
data.
Fraunhofer
;
incompeting
for
the
legitimacy
it
needed
to
persuade tech companies to actually use
MP3s, andso actually
make money.
研发
MP3
格式的工程师团队最初试图要让音频格式
通过电话线
传输
--
我们知道它的传输
速率非常慢
--
争取到合法性后再将其卖给
技术公司,以获得收益。
It
was
repeatedly
beleaguered
by
clever
corporate
sabotage and later by piracy.
可惜这些努力总是被盗版等诸多问题所阻挠。
Other failures hinged on the need for
the world to catch
up with the
technology's possibilities:Along the way, one
computer
engineer
on
the
team
had
a
patent
for
a
music
streaming servicedenied by the German
government because
it was
technologically absurd at the time.
另外,
MP3
格式的开发团队在把握技术态势上也显得无所适从。
