<text>Library.</text>

<p class="article-text">「I propose to consider the question, "Can machines think?"」</p>
<p class="article-text">「This should begin with definitions of the meaning of the terms "machine" and "think."」</p>
</text>
<text article="1">
<p class="article-text">「The definitions might be framed so as to reflect so far as possible the normal use of the words, but this attitude is dangerous, If the meaning of the words "machine" and "think" are to be found by examining how they are commonly used it is difficult to escape the conclusion that the meaning and the answer to the question, "Can machines think?" is to be sought in a statistical survey such as a Gallup poll.」</p>
<p class="article-text">「But this is absurd.」</p>
</text>
<text article="1">
<p class="article-text">「Instead of attempting such a definition I shall replace the question by another, which is closely related to it and is expressed in relatively unambiguous words.」</p>

<p class="article-text-h">Note</p>
<p class="article-text">此段文字翻译自阿兰·图灵(Alan Mathison Turing)于1950年发表的论文《计算机器与智能》(Computing Machinery and Intelligence)。</p>
<p class="article-text">这里的“模仿游戏”(后世称之为“图灵测验”)是指:一个人(代号C)使用他和测试对象皆理解的语言,去询问两个他不能直接感知的对象(一台机器,代号A;一个思维正常的人,代号B)任意一串问题——如果经过足够长的问答后,C仍不能准确判断出A与B谁是机器、谁是人,则称此机器A赢得“模仿游戏”(即“通过图灵测验”)。</p>
<p class="article-text">图灵测验的理论价值在于提出了一种切实可行的评判标准:如果一台机器能够稳定赢得“模仿游戏”,那么从客观的角度出发,这台机器在“心智能力”上和“人”就是没有区别的。</p>

<text>I got separated from my two partners while I was immersed in Alan Turing's thoughts.</text>
<text>Partners I say—— But those two were too busy talking to each other they probably didn't notice I wasn't there anymore.</text>
<text>I'm feeling sleepy, maybe Turing's paper is too complicated.</text>
<text>I can't. If I stop reading now I'll lose track of what I've read so far. At least I need to finish this chapter...</text>
<text>Eh? I feel like... I'm forgetting something important...</text>
<text>It's useless, my eyes...</text>
