英國最大的游戲盛會一年僅舉辦一次，所以當2012歐洲玩家博覽會開始開放時，無論什么時候都能看到持票等候的人們。在未來幾天內，將有大約5萬名來自大不列顛、歐洲等地的游戲愛好者向倫敦前進，為了搶先試玩最值得期待的游戲，這些游戲將會在未來幾個月內開始銷售。
It’s been predicted by the year 2015, the
有人預計，到2015年，英國的游戲產業其價值將會大大超過30億英磅，這一點，只需要看看本次盛會中的玩家就可以預見得到。
It’s a pivotal time for British gamesproduction. the past few year have seen a lot of homegrown talents headoverseas while the recession has led to the closure of many
對于英國游戲制作來說這是關鍵時刻，在過去的幾年里，因為經濟衰退，很多英國游戲設計工作室關閉，導致很多本土高手不得不前往國外，但是現在，隨著數字技術的發展和即將到來的稅收減免，看起來未來似乎很有前景。
Gaming is definitely undergoing arenaissance. You've got a lot of new platforms. You know this is absolutely anew business models, new business models coming out, you know there’s a lot offree-to-play games, a lot of mobile gaming and a lot of the studios in London and in the wide
毫無疑問的，游戲業正在經歷一場復興。現在出現了很多新平臺。你知道，這絕對是一種新商業模式，這種新模式正在展現出來，嗯，你知道，在倫敦乃至泛聯合王國，有很多免費游戲，很多移動設備游戲以及很多相應的游戲工作室。因此，這里會出現很多新的職業，在聯合王國，游戲業有相當多的機遇，你知道，我認為這正是制作電視游戲的最佳時機。
But for the British games industry to grabthat success and maintain it, developing new human talent also needs to boostwhich is why the government’s backed the introduction of computer sciencelessons in schools. But that might need to go further still.
但是，對于英國游戲業，想要抓住并維持成功，必須發現新的人才，并且在學校中推進由政府支持的對計算機科學的引進。但是，這仍然可能需要更進一步。
It’s the key skills when they could be thescientists, coders, all just animators. People actually can make games not justtalk about them, not just design them. And so we have to make sure that thoseskills are in place. So we introduce coding into the classroom. So children asyoung as 16s and17s can create 3D animations.
想成為科學家、程序員，甚至只是動畫設計師，都必須掌握這些關鍵技能。實際上，人們可以制作游戲而不僅僅只是在口頭上討論或者只是構思。因此，我們必須確保人們有地方可以學到這些技能。所以，我們將編程引進了課堂。這樣，那些不到16或者17歲的孩子們都可以成立三維動畫設計工作室了。
But as for where the exactly gamingindustry as a whole is headed, well, that one is debatable. There’s no doubtonline gaming is becoming more popular but does that spell the end for thetraditional consoles. While the man behind Xbox 360 's Halo 4 certainly doesn'tthink so.
但是，對于游戲產業來說，究竟什么才是正確的發展方向，這一點曾經很有爭議。毫無疑問，在線游戲已經變得更為流行了，于是乎，這是否意味著傳統游戲主機的消亡呢？但是，用XBOX360玩光暈4的某玩家卻完全不這么認為。
Your console does a lot more than just playgames. You can watch Netflix, you can play DVDs, you can browse the Internet,you can use Facebook, you do Skype calls. So your consoles gonna be on your TVfor a lot longer this generation and with a lot more utility than they everhave previously. So things really have changed. But rumors of death are greatlyexaggerated as Mark Twain once pointed it out.
游戲主機能做的可不僅僅只是玩游戲而已?？梢钥碞etflix，可以播放DVD，可以瀏覽Internet，可以上Facebook，甚至可以打Skype電話。因此，這一代游戲主機可以做很多事，并且其應用也要比上一代更多。事情真的發生變化了。但是，就像馬克吐溫曾經指出的那樣，它被極度夸大的謠言給終結了。
Whichever way gaming goes, it’s events likethis which proved the pace of innovation shows no signs of slowing down.
無論游戲業會走向何方，游戲展證明了改革的步伐并沒有減慢的跡象。
