Chapter 14

Chapter 14 THE KING HAS FALLEN. LONG LIVE THE QUEEN! Morgan didn't know what to expect when he, Ash, and Po entered the Evoker King's throne room. As they built a zigzagging staircase to the top of the tower, he tried to prepare himself for anything. But he was still shocked at the sight of his sister floating inches off the ground and glowing with tremendous power. "Jodi!" he cried. "Are you all right?" "I'VE NEVER BEEN BETTER," said Jodi. Her voice boomed. "This is like ultimate Creative mode!" With a wave of her hand, Jodi fixed every

第十四章国王倒下了。 女王万岁！摩根不知道当他、阿什和阿宝进入易沃克国王的正殿时会发生什么。 当他们建造一个通往塔顶的曲折楼梯时，他试着做好应对一切的准备。 但当他看到妹妹漂浮在离地面几英寸的地方，发出巨大的光芒时，他仍然感到震惊。 “乔迪！”“你没事吧？”“我从来没有这么好过，”乔迪说。 她的声音低沉起来。“这就像终极创意模式！”乔迪挥了挥手，把每一个都修好了

bit of damage in the throne room. Then she added some colorful tapestries and a purple llama for good measure. "Then what are you waiting for?" asked Theo. He pointed to the Evoker King. "GET RID OF HIM! Make him disappear!" The Evoker King glared. Without the power of the stone, he had become something of a basic avatar—like his throne room, he was plain and lacking detail. "Do your worst!" he grumbled.

正殿有一点损坏。 然后她又加了一些彩色的挂毯和一只紫色的美洲驼作为补充。 “那你还在等什么？”西奥问。 他指了指Evoker国王。 “除掉他！”让他消失！”唤醒王怒目而视。 没有了石头的力量，他变成了一个基本的化身——就像他的王座一样，他很朴素，缺乏细节。 “尽你最大的努力吧！”他抱怨道。

"I'M NOT GOING TO HURT YOU," Jodi said. "I promise. I know you're afraid." "I'm…I'm not afraid!" he protested. "I am beyond such things." "You are afraid. I can…I can feel your fear," said Jodi. "We assumed that you wouldn't have emotion. We thought you were just a program, and a villainous program, at that." She frowned and shook her head. "But you were here first. And you were happy here, in a world of simple rules, where everything made sense. Then we came along. You DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO MAKE OF A GROUP OF MESSY, LOUD HUMANS who started moving stuff around and chopping down trees and beating up monsters and filling treasure chests." "And using dye to color sheep," said Po. "I bet that really confused him." Morgan's head spun. "JODI, ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THIS?" "I'm with Morgan," said Harper. "He's an artificial intelligence. Why should he be afraid? Why should he feel anything?"

“我不会伤害你的，”乔迪说。 “我保证。我知道你害怕。” “我……我不害怕！” “我不懂这些事。” “你害怕了。我能……我能感觉到你的恐惧，”乔迪说。 “我们以为你不会有情感。 我们认为你只是一个程序，而且是一个邪恶的程序。” 她皱起眉头，摇了摇头。 “可是你先来的呀。你在这里很快乐，在一个规则简单，一切都很合理的世界里。 然后我们来了。你不知道该怎么看待一群乱糟糟、大声喧哗的人类，他们开始搬东西、砍树、打怪物、填宝箱。” “还用染料给羊上色，”阿宝说。 “我敢打赌，这真的让他很困惑。” 摩根头晕目眩。“乔迪，你确定吗？”“我支持摩根，”哈珀说。 “他是一个人工智能。 他为什么要害怕？他怎么会有感觉呢？”

"HE'S A VERY YOUNG ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE," Jodi said. "Younger than us. He's still growing. Learning. Becoming." "But what will he become?" Morgan asked. "I WILL BECOME YOUR GREATEST NIGHTMARE!" said the Evoker King. "I shall be vengeance incarnate!" "Oh, stop that." Jodi chuckled. "I think what you might become…is our friend," she said. The Evoker King gaped. "How could we be friends?" he said. "My purpose is to bring order to this world. And you are forces of chaos!" "YOU SHOULD CHOOSE YOUR OWN PURPOSE," said Jodi. "You've already changed your mind about the Foundation Stone. At first you wanted to destroy it, but then you used it. Maybe you could change your mind about us, too."

“他是一个非常年轻的人工智能，”乔迪说。 “比我们年轻。他还在长。 学习。成为”。“但他会变成什么呢？”摩根问道。 “我将成为你最大的噩梦！” “我将是复仇的化身！”“哦，别这样。” 乔迪•咯咯地笑了。“我觉得你可能会成为……我们的朋友，”她说。 Evoker国王目瞪口呆。“我们怎么可能成为朋友呢？”他说。 “我的目的是给这个世界带来秩序。 你们是混乱的力量！”“你应该选择你自己的目标，”乔迪说。 “你已经改变了对基石的看法。 一开始你想毁掉它，但后来你用了它。 也许你也可以改变对我们的看法。”

Morgan turned to the others. "What's she talking about?" he asked. "I MEAN, CAN A HUMAN AND AN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE EVEN BE FRIENDS?" "I think she's got an interesting point," said Theo. "The Evoker King has shown that he's capable of learning. His programming is changing as he encounters new things. Friendship could be a total game changer for him." Theo snuck Harper a bashful glance. "He might have been rude or selfish in the past. But maybe he just needs a second chance." "It makes a lot of sense to me," said Ash. "I KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO BE AFRAID OF CHANGE. To wish you could control everything because you feel like you're not in control of anything. I know exactly what it feels like." She turned her eyes on the Evoker King. "It's terrifying. But it's a little less scary when you have friends." "Wouldn't you rather try to understand us?" said Jodi. "Wouldn't that be more logical than fighting? THINK OF ALL THE GREAT THINGS WE COULD BUILD TOGETHER!" The Evoker King stood very still. Morgan

摩根转向其他人。 “她在说什么？”他问。 “我的意思是，人类和人工智能能成为朋友吗？”“我觉得她说的很有意思，”西奥说。 “唤醒王已经证明了他有学习的能力。 当他遇到新事物时，他的程序也在改变。 对他来说，友谊可能会彻底改变游戏规则。” 西奥害羞地瞥了哈珀一眼。 “他过去可能很粗鲁或自私。 但也许他只是需要第二次机会。” “这对我来说很有意义，”阿什说。 “我知道害怕改变是什么感觉。 希望你能控制一切，因为你觉得你什么都控制不了。 我完全知道那是什么感觉。” 她把目光转向了唤起之王。 “这是可怕的。但是当你有朋友的时候就不那么可怕了。” “难道你不想试着理解我们吗？”乔迪说。 “那不是比打架更合乎逻辑吗？” 想想我们能一起创造出多少伟大的东西！”唤醒王一动不动地站着。 摩根

couldn't read his expression. The AI looked from Jodi to Theo, and then at each of them in turn. "To be honest, when I used the Foundation Stone to build this tower, I felt a…a thrill. And I felt something similar when I crafted the first avatar for myself." "That's the thrill that comes with being creative," said Jodi. "It can be messy and chaotic, but in the end, CREATING NEW THINGS—ART OR INVENTIONS OR STORIES OR FRIENDSHIPS— IS THE BEST WAY WE HAVE TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE." Morgan found that he agreed with her. "Creation helps us make sense of a messy world," he added. The Evoker King smiled shyly. "This is all very interesting to me. I have much to consider." He turned his gaze toward Jodi. "I…WOULD LIKE VERY MUCH TO HAVE YOU AS FRIENDS, I THINK."

看不懂他的表情。 AI从Jodi看向Theo，然后依次看向他们每个人。 “说实话，当我用基石建造这座塔的时候，我感到一阵兴奋。 当我为自己制作第一个角色时，我也有类似的感觉。” “这是创造力带来的兴奋，”乔迪说。 “这可能是混乱和混乱的，但最终，创造新事物——艺术、发明、故事或友谊——是我们让世界变得更美好的最好方式。” 摩根发现他同意她的观点。 “创造帮助我们理解这个混乱的世界，”他补充说。 唤醒王害羞地笑了。 “这对我来说非常有趣。 我有很多事情要考虑。”他把目光转向乔迪。 “我……我想，我非常希望能和你们做朋友。”
