Well, we're starting today by meeting a real-life superhero, aren't we?

今天，我們先來認識一位現實生活中的超級英雄，不是嗎？

過去簡單式

After contracting meningitis when she was just 15 months old, Tilly Lockie's hands were amputated to save her life.

蒂莉-洛基（Tilly Lockie）在 15 個月大時患上腦膜炎，為了挽救她的生命，她的雙手被截肢。

to 不定詞

But through state-of-the-art bionic arms, she's been able to live a life to the fullest.

但通過最先進的仿生手臂，她的生活變得更加充實。

Tilly is now 19 years old and yesterday became the first person to get the most advanced wireless hands in the world, which are incredibly controlled by her mind.

媞利今年 19 歲，昨天她成為了第一個擁有世界上最先進的無線手的人。

Tilly joins us now alongside robotics engineer and all-around clever clogs who helped design her hands, Joel Gibbett.

現在，媞利和幫助她設計雙手的機器人工程師喬爾-吉比特一起，為我們介紹這位全能聰明的木屐手。

You came on the show a few years ago, didn't you?

不過，我還是第一次和你們在一起。

Let's start at the beginning for people who don't know the story.

讓我們從頭開始，讓不瞭解這個故事的人先了解一下。

You were just 15 months when you contracted meningitis.

And the thing is, with something like this, it's such a big thing.

問題是，像這樣的事情，是一件大事。

Do you even remember, or do you even remember a point when you felt different from anyone else?

你是否還記得，或者你是否還記得你曾有過與別人不同的感覺？

Yeah, it's completely life-altering, body-altering operation, obviously.

是的，這顯然是一個完全改變生活、改變身體的手術。

And luckily, I was so young at the time, so I don't remember it.

幸運的是，當時我還小，所以不記得了。

I've kind of had no hands my entire life, you know?

So it's just something that I've always known myself to be like.

所以，我一直都知道自己是這樣的人。

And growing up, yeah, there's definitely some challenges.

在成長過程中，肯定會遇到一些挑戰。

You're adapting to a world that is designed for four limbs at the end of the day.

說到底，你是在適應一個為四肢設計的世界。

And something that has been a journey has been prosthetics.

And through my own experience, I've been able to see that evolution firsthand.

通過自己的經歷，我親眼目睹了這種演變。

I think that's the most fascinating thing, is how many iterations does it have for you?

我認為這是最吸引人的地方，它對你來說有多少次反覆？

So when you started, what were your bionic arms like?

那麼，當你開始工作時，你的仿生手臂是什麼樣的？

Well, my first prosthetic I ever got, I was two years old.

我的第一個假肢是在我兩歲的時候安裝的。

And I was pretty much fresh out the bandages.

It was basically like a tube to put your arm in.

它基本上就像一個管子，可以把你的手臂放進去。

There were these three prongs tied together by elastic bands.

有三根用鬆緊帶綁在一起的稜柱。

And the way it operated was with this hook on the thumb, which would attach to a harness.

它的操作方式是在拇指上掛一個鉤子，鉤子可以掛在安全帶上。

And then the way I'd move my upper body would pull on strings and make it move.

然後，我移動上半身的方式會拉動繩子，讓它動起來。

But obviously, two years old, got barely any bodily coordination anyway.

但很明顯，兩歲的孩子幾乎沒有任何身體協調能力。

And now you see them, and they're 3D printed, muscle operated.

現在你看到了，它們是 3D 打印的，由肌肉操作。

And when you're little, your gross motor skills, your fine motor skills have to be developed with that in mind as well, I suppose.

我想，在你小的時候，你的粗大運動技能和精細運動技能的發展也必須考慮到這一點。

And I think for me, it was more I couldn't really, I wasn't just adopting it as my hand.

我想，對我來說，更多的是我無法真正做到，我沒有把它當作我的手。

I just didn't really know what was even going on at that point.

我當時真的不知道到底發生了什麼。

Now, obviously, you're here to show off your new Bionic arms.

很顯然，你是來展示你的新仿生手臂的。

I've been watching you on Instagram, actually.

事實上，我一直在 Instagram 上關注你。

So tell me about these arms that you've got at the moment.

They're still 3D printed, muscle operated.

它們仍然是 3D 打印的，由肌肉操作。

But we've got all this extra capabilities now, which is really, really cool.

但我們現在有了這些額外的功能，這真的很酷。

是什麼讓你進入仿生學領域的？

Well, probably playing with LEGO as a child.

What got me really interested in technology, that evolved into electronics and robotics.

是什麼讓我對技術產生了濃厚的興趣，進而發展成了電子和機器人技術。

And then I wanted to do something that would have a positive social impact with technology.

然後，我想做一些能利用技術產生積極社會影響的事情。

So I got really into Bionic hands and prosthetics.

是以，我對仿生手和假肢產生了濃厚的興趣。

What's it like as an industry to get into?

Presumably, there's a lot of qualifications you need before you even start.

想必在開始之前，你需要具備很多資格。

But it must be so innovative and so exciting.

但它一定是如此創新，如此令人興奮。

And looking at Tilly's journey, it's come on so much in the last 10, 15 years?

看看媞利的成長曆程，在過去的10年、15年裡，她的進步有多大？

One of the reasons that inspired me to get into it was because technology wasn't really moving forward from the sense of what people were actually getting for prosthetic limbs.

激勵我投身其中的一個原因是，從人們實際獲得的假肢來看，技術並沒有真正向前發展。

So there's lots of research taking place, lots of really exciting things.

是以，有很多研究正在進行，有很多非常令人興奮的事情。

But they weren't really making it to market.

And so that was one of the key things, was like, could we take this really cool technology but actually make it accessible, make it accessible to the NHS, make it so that everybody's actually getting it?

是以，其中一個關鍵問題是，我們能否將這項很酷的技術應用到實際生活中，讓國民保健服務體系也能使用，讓每個人都能真正得到它？

Tell us about that story of meeting Tilly.

給我們講講你和媞利相遇的故事吧。

It was probably like, you were about 9, 10 years old, I think, at that time.

我想，那時候你大概 9、10 歲吧。

So we initially, we wanted to work with users of prosthetics very much from day one.

是以，我們從一開始就希望與假肢使用者合作。

So we were putting out calls on social media to say, does anybody want to help us test the new designs, prototypes that we're making?

是以，我們在社交媒體上發出呼籲：有誰願意幫助我們測試我們正在製作的新設計和原型？

And was it you or your mum got in touch with us?

I think it was your mum got in touch with us initially.

我想最初是你媽媽聯繫我們的。

And we were like, yes, that would be great.

And even from 9, 10 years old, Tilly was giving us fantastic ideas for how to design the arms.

甚至從 9、10 歲開始，媞利就為我們設計手臂出謀劃策。

Tilly, what's extraordinary was before we came on air, you said you're still getting used to these.

媞利，最特別的是，在我們直播之前，你說你還在適應這些。

You sort of don't know your own strength.

Yeah, I mean, they're twice as fast, twice as strong.

是的，我的意思是，他們的速度是別人的兩倍，力量也是別人的兩倍。

So it's definitely something to get used to.

But I mean, even better, I get to be bigger and stronger now.

但我的意思是，更棒的是，我現在變得更大更強壯了。

So can you demonstrate a few of the things that you can do?

那麼，你能演示一下你能做的幾件事嗎？

是啊，所以它們都是肌肉操作的。

I can just control it like that, can do anything I want to do.

我就可以這樣控制它，想做什麼就做什麼。

I mean, everything ultimately comes from the brain.

我的意思是，一切最終都來自大腦。
