A new ring helps you really say those three little words.

一款新型戒指幫你真的說出「我愛你」。

　　 For many, true love is priceless. However, wedding rings do come at a price—the cost of a diamond engagement ring. If you want the ring but aren't crazy about diamonds, or the dent they will put in your savings, fear not. There's a company out there that has something unique and doesn't cost too much.

　 對許多人來說，真愛是無價的。然而，婚戒的確價格不菲 ── 尤其是鑽石訂婚戒的價錢。如果你想要戒指但並不一定要鑽石或不想讓你的荷包失血，別擔心。有家公司有販售一種獨特但要價不會太高的戒指。

　　 A new company called Encode Ring has a ring that says a lot. Actually, it says as much as you can say within a three-second time limit. The rings are actually a 3D printed sound wave. That wave is the sound of you saying a phrase within three seconds. Anything you can squeeze into that space of time and upload to the company site can be made into a ring. The usual standards are things such as "I love you," and "forever yours," but feel free to let your imagination run wild.

　 一家叫 Encode Ring 的新公司有一款能表達很多話語的戒指。事實上，該款戒指能說出你可以在三秒內說的話。這種戒指實際上是3D 列印的聲紋。這個聲紋是你在三秒內說出詞句的聲音。只要你可以在那段時間內塞進任何話並將它上傳到該公司網站，便可以做成戒指。常見的標語像是「我愛你」以及「永遠屬於你的」，但儘管發揮你無窮的想像力吧。

　　 The rings come in steel, gold, silver, or platinum, and cost anywhere from US$120 to about US$1,200. If you're thinking about tying the knot, try popping the question with a ring that does the talking for you.

　 戒指有鋼、金、銀或白金製的款式，價格從一百二十到一千兩百美元不等。如果你正要考慮結婚，試試用會替你說話的戒指來求婚吧。
