Technology for everyone
人人適用的技術
Governing bodies for Olympic sports should actively monitor the latest technologies that could affect sports performances and plan rather than merely react to changes,
奧運會的管理層應該積極監督能夠影響比賽成績和計劃的最新科技，而只不是應對變化，
says an Institution of Mechanical Engineers report.
英國機械工程師學會報告顯示。
But it also stressed the risks of restricting sports technology too much.
但它還強調了過于限制體育科技所帶來的風險。
After all, Olympic sports such as tennis have overseen the advance of technologies from wooden rackets to graphite rackets without ruining the spirit of the Games.
畢竟，網球等奧運會項目見證了技術的進步——從木質球拍發展到石墨球拍，而且這并沒有毀掉奧運精神。
Just as important, many sports technologies allow people outside the small groups of professional athletes to have more fun.
同樣重要的是，許多體育科技讓專業運動員小圈子以外的人也能擁有更多樂趣。
In addition to athletic enjoyment, the technology race in the Paralympics has an added advantage:
除了運動的樂趣之外，殘奧會中的技術較量還有一個額外的好處：
Better sports technologies can lead to better wheelchairs and artificial limbs used by disabled people in their daily lives.
更好的體育科技可以讓殘疾人在日常生活中使用到更好的輪椅和假肢。
Such technological products make the Paralympics somewhat similar to Formula One racing transforming technologies in consumer cars.
這樣的科技產品使得殘奧會有點類似于一級方程式賽車，后者把科技轉化為消費者使用的小汽車。
