清晨不再被音樂叫醒 氣味鬧鐘每天香醒你(雙語)

Nobody likes waking up in the morning to the nagging, electronic bleep of regular alarm clocks or smartphones, but the smell of just-baked croissants and freshly roasted coffee? Now you're talking.

　　誰都不喜歡一大早被鬧鐘或手機的電子噪音吵醒。但如果喚醒你的是剛出爐的可頌麵包與新烤好的咖啡的香氣呢？這還差不多！

　　The Sensorwake, currently debuting at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, takes a vastly different approach to getting your attention when it's time to wake up. Instead of using sound to stir you, the clock uses smell, thanks to the "timed release of an aroma of your choice".

　　這款最近在洛杉磯消費類電子產品展銷會上亮相的鬧鐘名叫Sensorwake，這款鬧鐘能用一種完全不同的方式在早晨該起床的時候喚起你的注意。並不是用噪音驚擾你的美夢，而是用香氣，這得以於一種「隨心定製定時釋放的香氣」。

　　The device functions a little bit like a toaster, with reusable scent capsules inserted into a slot along the top edge of the clock. Each capsule lasts for "30 awakenings", meaning you'll get about a month out of a scent before you need to replace it.

　　這種裝置的操作原理有點類似於烤麵包機。在鬧鐘的上邊緣的孔隙中放入了可重複使用的香囊。每個香囊能保證「30次正常喚醒」，這意味著同一種香味可以持續一個月，然後你就必須更換它了。

　　Aromas are bundled in packs. There's the delicious-sounding 'Continental Breakfast Pack', which comes with one Espresso aroma capsule and one Hot Croissant capsule. The 'Enjoy the Break Pack' includes Seaside (monoi, tiare flower) and Lush Jungle (cut grass, leaves). There's also the 'Vitalisation Aromatherapy Pack', which offers a Chocolate aroma plus Invigorating Peppermint.

　　喚醒你的香氣都封存在袋子里，它們從名字上聽來就十分美味，「歐式早餐包」——其中包括一包意式特濃咖啡香包加上一隻熱可頌香包；「馨香閑情」包——其中包括「海邊」（大溪地佳雷將奶油花香包）和「密林」（割草香味和樹葉香味包）.還有一種「激活式芳香療法「包，其中含有巧克力的香味，加上令人神清氣爽的薄荷香味。

　　But do scents work as well as a regular audio alarm in terms of waking you up? While we might hate the sound of conventional alarms, they seem to be jarringly effective for most regular sleepers. Rolland claims that the Sensorwake is just as good as audio alarms, with internal testing showing his scent-based alarm wakes 99 percent of people in 2 minutes.

　　不過香氣真的能和一般的噪音鬧鐘那樣叫你起床么？儘管我們對傳統鬧鐘的噪音十分厭惡，不過還是不得不承認傳統鬧鐘對大多數的睡眠規律者都十分奏效。Rolland稱，Sensorwake和一般的噪音鬧鐘一樣有效，據網路測試顯示，他研發的香氣鬧鐘能在2分鐘內喚醒99%的人。
