Tech is in our homes with thermostats that heat up our residences before we walk through the door. It’s in our cars with safety features that warn us about vehicles in adjacent lanes. It’s on our television sets, where many of us are streaming shows and movies through apps. We even wear it on ourselves in the form of wristwatches that monitor our health.

科技在我们的家中，温控器在我们进家门前让房间升温。科技在我们的车里，有安全功能的汽车提示我们相邻车道中的车辆。科技在我们的电视机中，我们中的许多人都在通过应用观看流媒体节目和电影。我们甚至把科技装进手表戴在手腕上，监测我们的健康。
In 2020 and the coming decade, these trends are likely to gather momentum. They will also be on display next week at CES, an enormous consumer electronics trade show in Las Vegas that typically serves as a window into the year’s hottest tech developments.
在2020年和未来的十年中，这些趋势可能会发展得更快。这些趋势也将在下周的CES上展出，通常这场在拉斯维加斯举行的大型消费类电子贸易展览会，我们可以一窥本年度最热门的技术发展。

Here’s what to watch in tech this year.

接下来是今年值得关注的科技。

The Smarter Home: True Automation更智能的家：真正的自动化

In December, Amazon, Apple and Google came to what appeared to be a truce: They announced that they were working together on a standard to help make smart home products compatible with one another.
在12月，亚马逊、苹果和谷歌似乎进入停战：它们宣布它们正在共同制定一种标准，以帮助智能家居产品相互兼容。
Ms. Milanesi said that eliminating complexity was a necessary step for the tech giants to achieve their ultimate goal: seamless home automation without the need for people to tell the assistants what to do.If and when that happens, your home will truly — and finally — be smart.

米拉内西说，消除复杂性是科技巨头实现最终目标的必要步骤：无缝的家庭自动化，无需人们告诉助手怎么做。如果这实现了，到那时，你的家将真正—并最终—成为智能的家。

The Slow, Steady Rise of 5G5G缓慢而稳步的发展

In 2020, 5G will gain some momentum. Verizon said it expected half the nation to have access to 5G this year. AT&T, which offers two types of 5G — 5G Evolution, which is incrementally faster than 4G, and 5G Plus, which is the ultrafast version — said it expected 5G Plus to reach parts of 30 cities by early 2020.
2020年，5G将获得一定的发展势头。威瑞森通讯（Verizon）表示，预计今年半个美国可以用上5G。AT&T公司提供两种5G类型：5G Evolution（比4G速度快一个量级）和5G Plus（超高速版本），并表示5G Plus有望在2020年进入30个城市的部分地区。
Another sign that 5G is really taking hold? A broader set of devices will support the new wireless standard.

再举一个5G真正扎根的迹象？将有更多的设备支持这个新的无线标准。
Samsung, for one, has begun including 5G support on some of its newer Galaxy devices. Apple, which declined to comment, is also expected to release its first 5G-compatible iPhones this year.

比如三星已经开始在一些新的Galaxy设备上包含5G支持。拒绝置评的苹果也有望在今年发布首款兼容5G的iPhone。

The Wearables Market Heats Up可穿戴设备市场升温

Computer chips are making their way into other electronic products like earphones, which means that companies are likely to introduce innovations in wearable accessories, said Frank Gillett, a technology analyst for Forrester. Two possibilities: earphones that monitor your health by pulling pulses from your ears, or earbuds that double as inexpensive hearing aids.
弗雷斯特（Forrester）的科技分析师弗兰克·吉莱德（Frank Gillett）说，计算机芯片正在进入耳机等其他电子产品中，这意味着公司可能会在穿戴配件中引入创新。有两种可能：让耳机通过耳朵的脉搏监测你的健康，或者耳机可以当作廉价助听器来使用。
“That whole area of improving our hearing and hearing the way other people hear us is really interesting,” he said.
“这整个领域，改善我们的听力，还有以别人聆听我们的方式去聆听，非常有意思，”他说。
