Here is your revised version with the English grammar corrected, and the Simplified Chinese portions converted to Traditional Chinese:
Hello everyone,
Welcome to Let’s Talk in English! My name is Garrett.
And my name is Esther. Today, we have a technology lesson.
That's right!
We're talking about smart glasses. Now, over the last few years,
I'm sure you've heard the term "smart" many times, like "smartphone" or "smartwatch."
But today, we're talking about smart glasses.
And when we use the word "smart" here,
it means it has to do with technology. It can do many things because of technology.
Garrett, can you tell us what technology is? Sure!
Technology talks about machines, devices, and new methods of doing things. Basically,
it's all the newer things that we get to use in the modern day.
Now, we’re going to learn more about smart glasses.
Garrett, can you help us with today’s reading?
Reading
What if you could work on your computer without using your hands?
Smart glasses make that possible.
Their lenses have a screen that can show information, such as texts and emails.
Smart glasses can also be used as a phone.
You can not only chat with friends, but you can also send messages. You talk, and the glasses write the message for you.
You can also use them to listen to music.
Most smart glasses look like normal glasses. They aren’t huge and heavy.
Esther: Wow,
that sounds like something I would like to have!
Can you imagine wearing a pair of glasses that can help you in so many ways?
Right, you don’t need to use your hands, and you can still look at the world around you while you’re using them.
And if you’re listening to music, maybe others don’t even know you’re listening to music.
Garrett: Well, friends, let’s go on to our "Find It" question now.
That question is: What do smart glasses look like?
Find the answer in today’s lesson.
Now, let’s go to Sonya with our keywords.
Sonya:
Sam 想聽聽 Sarah 的意見， 要不要去買一副智能眼鏡。
Sam: Do you think I should get some smart glasses?
形容詞 smart 在這裡指的是智能的，智慧型的。
而名詞 glasses 就是眼鏡。
智能眼鏡有很多功能。
它看起來就像一般的眼鏡一樣。
Garrett: Smart glasses look just like normal glasses.
形容詞 normal 就是一般的，普通的。
Sonya:
Sara 注意到智能眼鏡的鏡片上有一個螢幕。
The lenses have a screen. 名詞 screen 就是螢幕。
Garrett:
Sam 說眼鏡的一側有一個極小的電腦。
A tiny computer is in one side of the glasses. 名詞 computer 就是電腦。
Sam:
Hey, Sara, do you think I should get some smart glasses?
Sara:
I don’t know. What makes them smart?
Sam:
They can do all kinds of things.
You can make phone calls and listen to music with them. Cool!
Sara:
But aren’t they kind of big?
Wouldn’t they make you look like a robot if you wore them?
Sam:
They wouldn’t. Smart glasses look just like normal glasses.
Sara:
Wow, can you show me a photo?
Well, Sam is thinking about something interesting, and he wants some advice from Sarah. He wants to know if he should get some smart glasses. He asks, "Do you think I should get some smart glasses?"
If you want someone's advice or opinion, you can start sentences with Do you think I should...?
Garrett:
Exactly! Well, let’s talk about some of those words individually.
The word smart describes someone who is intelligent.
Maybe they know a lot of information, or they’re quite good at school.
But here, we’re using smart in a different meaning.
Here, smart means it has to do with technology, what we talked about earlier.
So, smart glasses are smart because they can help you with many things, and they use technology.
Glasses are things you wear over your eyes.
Some people need to wear glasses to see the world around them clearly.
While Sarah’s answer to Sam is: "I don’t know what makes them smart."
What makes them smart?
Garrett:
What makes them smart?
什麼使他們變得聰明？
Students are smart. What makes them smart?
They study hard. What makes them smart?
They remember many things. What makes them smart?
Smart teachers, smart answers... Hmm,
What makes them smart?
Garrett:
So, friends, what is the difference between a normal telephone and a smartphone?
Well, a smartphone can do so much more!
So, what are the extra things that smart glasses can do?
For one, you can make phone calls.
That's right! You can make a call with these glasses, and you can also listen to music with them.
When you make a call, you’re making a phone call.
You’re calling someone on the telephone.
Sonia, can you help us explain this phrase?
Sonia:
Sam 說智能眼鏡可以做各種事情，你可以用智能眼鏡打電話以及聽音樂。
You can make phone calls and listen to music with them.
片語 make phone calls 就是打電話。
也可以省略 phone，用 make calls，
還可以用 give someone a call 表示打電話給某人。
Garrett:
Let's look at some example sentences:
She made a phone call to the school.
Please be quiet, I need to make a call.
Why don’t you give your brother a call?
Sonia:
Thank you, Sonia!
Sara thinks it’s cool. If you say something is cool,
it doesn’t mean it’s cold or makes you feel cold.
You think that it’s very special or interesting.
Exactly!
Garrett:
Sara wants to know: Are these smart glasses big?
Wouldn’t they make you look like a robot if you wore them?
Because robots are often shown with big eyes that look
kind of like big robotic glasses, right?
Well, that leads us to the answer to today’s Find It question.
The question was: What do smart glasses look like?
And the answer is: They look just like normal glasses.
Esther:
Sam says they wouldn’t make you look like a robot.
Right, normal glasses are glasses that people usually wear.
If something is normal, it means that’s what people do or what people wear—just like the word regular.
Garrett:
Exactly! So, Sarah understands a bit more about these smart glasses now,
but she’s still not sure what they look like.
She wants to see a photo of them, right?
She wants to see what they look like in a picture.
Maybe she wants to see someone wearing the glasses to make sure
they don’t make her or him look like a robot.
Esther:
Yeah! With all that technology in them,
I wonder how they are not much bigger than normal glasses.
I’ll have to look up a picture, too!
Garrett:
Well, friends, it’s time for a quick break now. We’ll be right back just after this.
Garrett:
Let’s talk in English—ten minutes every day, that’s the way!
Welcome back to the show, everyone!
Would you like to make your life filled with technology,
making things easier and more entertaining?
Would you like to get a pair of smart glasses and just look like you’re wearing normal glasses,
but do many things while you’re wearing those regular-looking smart glasses?
This was a dream for people for many years, and now new technology is making it possible.
Let’s continue with our conversation.
Esther:
Here is a picture of some smart glasses.
Those do look like normal glasses,
but the lenses have a screen. How do they work?
A tiny computer is in one side of the glasses.
Garrett:
So, can you send text messages with these glasses?
Esther:
Yes, you can! Fun!
You really like them, don’t you? Are you going to buy some?
Garrett:
I just might. Some are as cheap as one hundred dollars!
Remember before the break we heard Sarah ask for a picture of what smart glasses look like.
So Sam has one for her, right?
And he shows it to her. He says:
“Here is a picture of some smart glasses.”
Now, you can use the word photo or picture,
both mean that someone took a picture of those smart glasses.
Sarah says:
“Those do look like normal glasses, but the lenses have a screen.”
A screen is something that shows a picture, like a TV or a computer monitor.
And now you can find a screen on the lenses of the smart glasses.
Garrett:
A pair of glasses has two lenses.
This is the glass or plastic part of the glasses.
The part around the glasses is called the frame.
Well, Sarah wants to know: How do they work?
How do these smart glasses work?
Of course, we people go to work to make money,
but that’s not exactly what we mean by the word work here.
Let’s go to Sonya for more!
Sonya:
Sira 說，智能眼鏡怎麼運作？
How do they work?
動詞 work 在這裡表示運作或起作用的意思。
這一句是在問智能眼鏡是如何運作的，有哪些功能。
讓我們來看例句：
How does this machine work?
這台機器是如何運作的？
或者：
My computer isn’t working right.
我的電腦運作上有問題。
再一句：
The air conditioner isn’t working very well.
冷氣運作的不太好。
Garrett:
Thank you so much, Sonya! Now, how do these glasses work?
Why can they show you all this information?
They can do that because a tiny computer is in one side of the glasses.
A computer is a machine people use to do many things: you can type, you can send emails,
you can go on the internet on a computer, exactly!
Esther:
Computers make us think of desktop computers or laptops,
but we have all kinds of things that have computers in them—
like our cell phones or maybe even our fridges can have a computer in them.
Garrett:
Now, Sarah wants to know if you can send text messages with these smart glasses.
If you send a text message, you’re using words to send a message to someone.
And with smart glasses, you can send text messages!
Esther:
Sarah says: You really like them, don’t you?
Sam seems to really like these glasses!
So, is he going to buy a pair?
Well, he is thinking about buying a pair.
He is looking at pictures and says:
"I just might!"
If you say "I just might," it means you are really thinking about doing something,
maybe, and you're thinking probably, but you haven't decided yet.
Garrett:
Sam says that some of these smart glasses are as cheap as one hundred dollars!
I would say that’s surprising.
I would have thought they’d be quite a bit more than that.
Maybe the 100-dollar ones can’t do a lot, right?
Maybe they’re kind of what we call entry or beginner models.
They can do the easiest or most basic tasks.
Esther:
Well, friends, what do you think?
Would you like to try out some smart glasses,
so you can see information on that screen in front of you
while you’re seeing the world around you?
It’s an interesting thought.
Garrett:
Let’s go ahead and review our keywords now.
Here is your first keyword: computer.
Computer: Take good care of your new computer!
Esther:
Next keyword: smart.
Smart: This smart TV connects to the internet.
Garrett:
Next: glasses.
Glasses: Tom wears glasses to read.
Esther:
Next: screen.
Screen: Can you read the words on the screen?
Garrett:
And finally: normal.
Normal: I walk to work on a normal day.
Friends, do you also walk to work on a normal day?
Esther:
Those are today’s keywords, and now it’s your turn!
Today’s keywords are: computer, smart, glasses, screen, and normal.
Now, it’s your turn to use them in a sentence.
First: I can’t see without my...
Garrett:
Good job! I can’t see without my glasses.
Next: She came home at the time...
Esther:
That’s correct! She came home at the normal time.
Next: I need to clean my phone...
Garrett:
You’re right again! I need to clean my phone screen.
Next: Use an app to turn on the lights...
Esther:
You got it! Use an app to turn on the smart lights.
Last one: My ______ won’t turn on...
Garrett:
Great job! My computer won’t turn on.
That was fun, friends!
Come back again for your turn!
Esther:
Hey, Sara, do you think I should get some smart glasses?
Sara:
I don’t know. What makes them smart?
Sam:
They can do all kinds of things!
You can make phone calls and listen to music with them! Cool!
Sara:
But aren’t they kind of big?
Wouldn’t they make you look like a robot if you wore them?
Sam:
They wouldn’t! Smart glasses look just like normal glasses.
Sara:
Wow, can you show me a photo?
Sam:
Here is a picture of some smart glasses.
Those do look like normal glasses, but the lenses have a screen.
How do they work?
A tiny computer is in one side of the glasses. So...
Can you send text messages with these glasses?
Sam:
Yes, you can! Fun!
You really like them, don’t you? Are you going to buy some?
Sara:
I just might. Some are as cheap as one hundred dollars.
Garrett:
Hee Hee!
Look at me, Ginger!
Ginger:
Why are you wearing glasses?
Garrett:
I want to look smart!
Ginger:
Huh, so what do you think?
Garrett:
It’s not working... You don’t look smart.
Ginger:
Oh, then maybe I need smart glasses.
Garrett:
Smart glasses?
Ginger:
Yeah! Glasses with a tiny computer inside!
Garrett:
A computer inside glasses?
Ginger:
Yeah!
The lenses have a screen.
Garrett:
Those would be big glasses!
You’d look like a monkey robot.
Ginger:
No, the glasses look normal.
But they’re very smart!
Garrett:
What makes them smart?
Ginger:
They can do all kinds of things: play music, make phone calls, send texts!
Garrett:
Are you going to buy some?
Ginger:
Yes, but first, I need 100 dollars!
Garrett:
Hey! Don’t look at me!
