Nobody likes waking up in the morning to the nagging， electronic bleep of regular alarm clocks or smartphones， but the smell of just-baked croissants and freshly roasted coffee？ Now you’re talking.
　　谁都不喜欢一大早被闹钟或智能手机唠叨且有规律的电子噪音吵醒，但如果唤醒你的是刚出炉的可颂面包与新烘焙好的咖啡的香气呢？这还差不多。
　　The Sensorwake， currently debuting at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas， takes a vastly different approach to getting your attention when it’s time to wake up. Instead of using sound to stir you， the clock uses smell， thanks to the “timed release of an aroma of your choice”.
　　这款最近在洛杉矶消费类电子产品展销会上亮相的名为Sensorwake的闹钟，能用一种完全不同的方式在早晨该起床的时候唤起你的注意。与用声音惊扰你的美梦相反，这款闹钟是用香气，这得益于一种“随心定制定时释放的香气”。
　　The device functions a little bit like a toaster， with reusable scent capsules inserted into a slot along the top edge of the clock. Each capsule lasts for “30 awakenings”， meaning you’ll get about a month out of a scent before you need to replace it.
　　这种装置的操作原理有点类似于烤面包机，在闹钟的上边缘的孔隙中放入了可重复使用的香囊。每个香囊能保证“30次正常唤醒”，这就意味着在你需要更换它之前你可以持续闻一个月同一种香味。
　　Aromas are bundled in packs. There’s a delicious-sounding “Continental Breakfast Pack”， which comes with one Espresso aroma capsule and one hot Croissant capsule. The “Enjoy the Break Pack” includes Seaside （Monoi， tiare flower） and Lush Jungle （cut grass and leaves）. There’s also a “Vitalization Aromatherapy Pack”， which offers a chocolate aroma plus invigorating peppermint.
　　唤醒你的香气都封存在袋子里。有一种从名字上听就十分美味的“欧式早餐包”，其中包括一包意式特浓咖啡香包和一只热可颂面包香包。“馨香闲情包”包括“海边”（Monoi，塔希提蒂亚蕾花香包）和“密林”（割草香味和树叶香味包）。还有一种“激活式芳香疗法包”，其中含有巧克力的香味外加令人神清气爽的薄荷香味。
　　But do scents work as well as a regular audio alarm in terms of waking you up？ While we might hate the sound of conventional alarms， they seem to be jarringly effective for most regular sleepers. Rolland claims that the Sensorwake is just as good as audio alarms， with Internet testing showing his scent-based alarm wakes 99 percent of people in 2 minutes.
　　不过香气真的能和常见的声音闹钟一样叫你起床吗？尽管我们可能对传统闹钟的声音十分厌恶，不过似乎传统闹钟对大多数的睡眠规律者都十分奏效。Rolland称Sensorwake和声音闹钟一样有效，据网络测试显示，他研发的香气闹钟能在2分钟内唤醒99%的人。
