就是这个高频考点！——老夏考研每日一题（50）

是的，robots和humans的关系，就是高频考点。争议的大概就是：（1）机器人威胁论；（2）机器人和人类合作论；（3）机器人低劣论。不论怎样，作者提出一些独特的看法。

老夏考研“每日一题”选自《基督教科学箴言报》。请给这段文字选择一个恰当的标题。

【题目】The text may be intended to answer the question ______   

[A] “Humans: an unchallenged rival?”

[B]“Machines vs. Humans, the winner?” 

[C] “Can humans’ motor skills be reproduced?” 

[D] “Robots: Job killers or co-workers?”

【试题】

①Will a robot snatch away your job? ②Or will you learn to love intelligent machines as co-workers? ③In today’s quickly evolving workplace a little of either may be true. ④Robots were once seen as workers that would free humans from the “three D” jobs: dull, dirty, and dangerous. ⑤Unskilled laborers would have their jobs handed to machines that never needed to take a day off, a vacation, or even a coffee break. ⑥That’s still a concern. ⑦But humans have also proved resilient, possessing a wide array of fine motor skills that have proved difficult to reproduce in machines. ⑧While robots might operate using one sensor, perhaps a kind of vision, humans can tap five senses to assess a situation (does that thing smell funny?), as well as a complex set of memories and experiences. ⑨When robots can catch up is anyone’s guess.

【参考译文】

①Will a robot snatch away your job? 机器人会抢走你的工作吗?

②Or will you learn to love intelligent machines as co-workers? 或者你会把机器人当做同事去爱上它们吗? 

③In today’s quickly evolving workplace a little of either may be true. 在当今快速发展的工作环境中，上述两种说法可能都有些道理。

④Robots were once seen as workers that would free humans from the “three D” jobs: dull, dirty, and dangerous. 机器人曾经被视为工人，它将人类从枯燥、肮脏和危险的“3d”工作中解放出来。

⑤Unskilled laborers would have their jobs handed to machines that never needed to take a day off, a vacation, or even a coffee break. 没有技术的工人将会把他们的工作交给机器，这些机器永远不需要休息一天、一次假期甚至是一杯咖啡。

⑥That’s still a concern. 这仍然是个问题。

⑦But humans have also proved resilient, possessing a wide array of fine motor skills that have proved difficult to reproduce in machines. 但事实也证明，人类具有很强的适应性，拥有各种各样的精细运动技能，而这些技能很难在机器中复制。

⑧While robots might operate using one sensor, perhaps a kind of vision, humans can tap five senses to assess a situation (does that thing smell funny?), as well as a complex set of memories and experiences. 机器人可能使用一种传感器(或许是一种视觉)来操作，而人类可以利用五种感官来评估情况(那东西闻起来是不是怪怪的?)以及一套复杂的记忆和经历。

⑨When robots can catch up is anyone’s guess. 机器人何时能赶上谁都说不准。
