When you're out shopping it can sometimes feel like you're always stuck at the end of the longest line.

外出购物，总免不了碰上排队这个老大难问题：长长的队伍似乎总排不完。

Shoppers know this age-old dilemma all to well - do you stick to your guns with the queue you're in? Or do you gamble on another queue and risk it all in the hope of gaining more ground?

不少人或许深有体会：身在队中，内心无比挣扎，究竟是一鼓作气排到底？还是换条队伍试试运气呢？

Now, a system called ZipLine is promising to help shoppers win that battle every time, by using infrared sensors to help them to pick the fastest queue.

近来，一款名为ZipLine的软件横空出世，号称屡试不爽的排队神器。其内置的红外感应器可迅速识别最快的队伍。

The technology, developed by Cambridge Consultants looks at the length of queues and how fast they are moving to work out which is the best one to join.

这款软件由剑桥科技咨询公司打造，能够识别队伍长度与移动速度，从而为用户推荐最省时的队伍。

Launched this week at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the concept combines the sensors with a long-range, low-power radio network.

本周，消费电子产品展在拉斯维加斯开幕，这款内置感应器与远程低功率无线电系统的概念产品惊艳亮相。
