AI女友

你在寻找新女朋友方面有什么进展吗？

Are you having any luck finding a new girlfriend?

没有，还没有碰到让我心动的人。

No, I'm not. I haven't found anyone I like.

她们都只是冲着我的钱和奢靡的生活来的。

So they are all after my money and a fancy lifestyle.

真挚的感情究竟跑到哪里去了？

Whatever happened to real love?

说不清楚，近来我也产生了类似的感触。

I don't know. The same thought has occurred to me lately.

感觉我正在变成一个对一切都抱有怀疑的人。

I'm afraid I'm becoming a bit of a cynic.

我刚才看到一篇关于AI机器人的报道。

I was just reading about some new robots called AIs.

它们具备人工智能的能力，也就是AI。

They have artificial intelligence, or AI.

嗯，我有所耳闻，好多影片里也出现过这类东西。

Yes, I've heard about it, and they've been in some movies too.

据说，最新的AI能够充当极具魅力的伴侣。

Evidently, these new AIs can be very attractive companions.

你对此有什么看法？

What do you think about that?

别逗了。和一个智能机器人相处？听起来就很不正常。

You must be kidding. Relating to a smart robot. It sounds sick to me.

这可不好讲，也许并非完全不可能。我很想知道拥有一个AI女朋友是什么样的感受。

I don't know, maybe not. I wonder what it would be like to have an AI girlfriend.

或许你能通过编程把她打造成你理想中的完美女性。

Maybe you could program it to be like your dream woman.

嗯，这个念头蛮有意思的，可实际操作起来难以想象。

Well, it's an interesting idea, but hard to imagine reality.

我觉得一开始会觉得挺有意思，但时间一长就会失去新鲜感，你认为呢？

I think it would be fun for a while, but then it would get boring, don't you think?

那是一定的，因为没有真情实感。所有的东西都是机械的、模拟出来的。

For sure, no real emotions. Everything would be mechanical and artificial.

没有灵魂存在，只不过是一具没有血肉的空壳。

There wouldn't be a soul inside, just an empty machine.

也不尽然，这要看它的智能化达到了什么水平。

Well, not necessarily. That would depend on how intelligent it is.

有人预测AI未来的聪明程度会超过人类。

There are some who say AIs are going to be more intelligent than we are.

我也读到过类似的观点。甚至有人担心它们会对我们造成危害，对吧？

I've heard of that too. In fact, they may even be a threat to us, right?

换个角度讲，假如真的可以做到，你会不会想要一个完全听命于你的伴侣？

Anyway, if it were possible, would you want a woman you could control?

一个由我掌控的女人？不可能，我想象不出来。我之前相处的女性大多都想反过来驾驭我。

A woman I could control. No, I can't imagine it. Most of the women I've been with have tried to control me.

这就是男女之间的一大区别。我们看待问题的视角截然不同。

Well, that's one of the differences between men and women. We see things differently.

我们始终无法满足她们的期望。

We never measure up to their standards.

不过，若是拥有真正的爱情，两个人之间的联结会是极其深刻的。

However, if there is real love, the bonds between two people can be very deep.

虽然不常见，但我亲眼见证过。

It may not happen very often, but I've seen it.

对！这正是我所渴望的！但愿这不是异想天开。

Yes, that's what I'm looking for! I hope it's not just a dream.

若你追求的是这种感情，那你在酒吧里多半是遇不到的。

If that's what you want, you are probably not going to find her in a bar.

也许我应该向周围的人表明，我正在寻觅一位合适的伴侣。

Maybe I'll just let people know I'm looking for someone nice.

记得告诉她你财力雄厚！说不定我能帮你牵线搭桥。

Be sure to tell her you are rich! Maybe I can help you find someone.

那就拜托你了。不过纯属好奇，我也想去看看那些智能机器人到底是怎么回事。

You have my permission. And just for fun, I'll start checking out some of those smart robots.

虽然听上去不可思议，但我心里充满了好奇。

It sounds crazy, but I'm curious.

考虑到社会上孤独的人如此之多，这说不定会催生一个庞大的市场。

With all these lonely people out there, it may turn out to be a huge business.
