新华网1月27日电 据科技博客网站Gizmodo报道，维基百科页面将新增音频简介，真实再现历史的声音。

想象一下，能够听到历史上伟人的声音，那该有多棒！声音资料为他或她在历史中的形象塑造丰富了材料。从今天起，维基百科将开展维基百科声音简介项目，在原有的文字资料基础上增加音频简介，这个项目听起来真心不错。

在宣介该项目时，播放了一段英国名人史蒂芬·弗雷的录音，阿波罗16号宇航员查理·杜克的维基页面也新增了他本人的音频资料。项目启动页面上说：“为维基百科添加音频资料，可以让我们都知道那些为人们的声音，听他们自己亲自念出自己的名字。”这虽然是简单的一步，但却意义深远。

人的声音有一种无形的强大力量。好奇心总驱使我们猜测历史上某位名人的声音听起来到底是什么样子——我们通常都有这种感觉，我们对现代人们的刻意模仿会很反感——这一点美国好莱坞影星丹尼尔·戴·刘易斯最清楚不过了，他在电影中曾扮演美国开国之父林肯。

名人们现在都可以去自己的维基百科页面上，听一下自己的声音到底啥样，不要感到怪异哦，从此，所有人上危维基百科都能听到了哦。

Wikipedia's Adding Voice Recordings to Famous People's Biographies

Imagine being able to hear a great historical figure's voice. It would add such richness to the facts and dates about her or his life. Starting today, Wikipedia will make that possible with the Wikipedia Voice Intro Project, adding short voice recordings to the online encyclopedia. And that's truly awesome. WikiVIP announced the program with a demo recording from British personality Stephen Fry. Apollo 16 astronaut Charlie Duke's page also boasts a voice recording. The project page says it was undertaken "so that we know what notable people sound like; and how they pronounce their own names." A simple, goal, but infinitely profound.WikiVIP

There's something intangibly powerful in the human voice. Curiosity leads us to wonder what great historical figures sounded like—and we get deeply offended if modern portrayals don't fit the sound we imagined. Just ask Daniel Day-Lewis.

If you're the type of person who has a Wikipedia biography, go here to see how you can get your voice saved forever. Just don't sneeze or snort or anything weird—people will be listening to that recording eons from now. [Wikipedia via TNW]
