Music Business Worldwide报告称，Spotify已获得一项专利技术，该技术旨在使用用户语音和背景噪音的录音来确定要策划和推荐给他们的音乐。

该专利概述了技术的潜在用途，该技术涉及从用户语音中提取“语调，语调，节奏等”。该技术还可以使用语音识别基于音频记录来识别元数据点，例如情绪，性别，年龄，口音，甚至环境。请看本报昨日的报道：

Spotify’s powerful algorithm makes finding music you like a breeze. But what if it could recommend music based on how you sound?

That’s the idea proposed in a patent Spotify was recently granted, which outlines potential uses for this kind of technology. The patent details a concept for using audio signals — your voice, background sounds, and even your accent — to suss out what to play for you. One factor that could inform the streaming service what to play next might be the “emotional state of a speaker,” while others might attempt to determine your gender and how old you are based on your voice.

报道中的suss out就是弄清楚、想明白的意思。例如：

In our fast-paced world, where trends are rising and falling and disappearing faster than ever, it can be difficult to suss out the investment-worthy items from those that are fleeting trends.

在我们这个快节奏的世界中，潮流的上升、下降和消失比以往任何时候都迅速，要从那些短暂的趋势中发现值得投资的单品可能很困难。
