　　參考譯文
　　未來的房子
　　30年后的房子會(huì)是什么樣的呢?沒人真的知道，但建筑師們卻猜想著。到那時(shí)，我們的房子會(huì)是什么樣呢?
　　未來的房子應(yīng)該是非常靈活的。將來的30年中，我們中會(huì)有更多的人在家工作。所以我們的房子要設(shè)計(jì)出用于白天工作的空間，其他的則要用于生活起居。而房子也隨著孩子的降臨、成長和離家有所變化。自然，房子也會(huì)隨著家庭的變化而變化。沒有什么事是像我們現(xiàn)在這樣一成不變的，房子總在變化著來適應(yīng)我們的需求。
　　每個(gè)人都認(rèn)同未來我們將住進(jìn)智能型房屋的觀點(diǎn)。我們將有可能和廚房里的機(jī)器對(duì)話.探討做什么飯。像這樣，"我們這周末有一個(gè)聚會(huì)，做什么飯菜好呢?"而智能機(jī)器則會(huì)告訴我們需買的食材和烹飪的方法。我們只需把食材交給機(jī)器，然后時(shí)不時(shí)去嘗下味道就好。
　　未來的房子將會(huì)相當(dāng)?shù)膫�(gè)性化。要改變墻體的顏色非常容易，你甚至都不用去粉刷它們，只要對(duì)墻說：變色!就搞定了!而且如果你第二天不愛這個(gè)顏色了，你馬上又可以換新的。也許一件你不能改變的事就是把房子移到其他地方去而已。
