双语：CES大展览4K电视将成为主流.docxVIP

There are a lot of next big things in the television industry. In 2010, it was 3D, which promptly flopped. 电视行业曾经推广过许多所谓的“下一代重磅产品”。2010年，3D电视被吹得天花乱坠，然而很快就失败了。 Two years later, the talk began to focus on 4K/ Ultra High Definition (UHD) sets – and it quickly began to look like history was about to repeat itself. 两年后，各大电视厂商又开始集中推广4K电视，也就是超高清电视，但种种情势似乎昭示着历史将很快重演。But a funny thing happened in 2014. 4K/UHD began to carve a foothold. And now experts say the technology may, in fact, live up to the hype. 但2014年出现了一个有趣的转折。4K电视开始站稳脚跟。专家们现在表示，这项技术也许将不负众望。“4K is the emerging standard for TVs,” says Paul O’Donovan, principal analyst of consumer electronics at Gartner. “I think it will take some years for the annual number of 4K TVs manufactured to outnumber the total of full HD models, but I would expect that to happen within the next 7 to 10 years.”高德纳研究公司消费电子产品首席分析师保罗o奥多诺万表示：“4K是电视的新兴标准。我认为4K电视的年产量还需要过几年才能超过全高清电视，但我预计这个期限不会超过7到10年。”SandlerResearch agrees, estimating 4K sets will have an annual growth rate of 106.84 percent through 2018. 研究公司SandlerResearch赞同这一观点，该公司预计，到2018年底，4K电视市场的年均增长率将达到106.84%。 Bill Lee, vice president of television product marketing at Samsung, says the television industry shipped 800,000 4K/UHD sets last year – and Samsung expects to see a four-fold increase to that number in 2015. 三星公司电视产品营销事务副总裁比尔o李表示，4K电视去年的出货量为80万台，三星预计这一数值将在2015年翻两番。 The sets, which boast four times the visual resolution of today’s high definition sets, certainly boast an incredible image. The problem up until now, though, was the high cost (with a whopping $7,851 price point in 2012) and the lack of 4K content for people willing to spend that amount. 4K电视的视觉分辨率是高清电视的4倍，可以营造不可思议的画面效果。然而，迄今为止的问题在于高昂的价格（2012年，4K电视的均价高达7,851美元），而对于那些愿意花钱购买的消费者来说，4K节目的缺乏也是一个严重问题。 Both of those problems began to resolve themselves last year. And the trend looks to continue in 2015. 但这些问题从去年开始逐渐得到解决。而且在2015年，这种趋势似乎仍会继续。Viziolaunched its P-series of 4K sets in September for under $1,000, bringing the sets
