80 THE BEAUTIFUL GLITCH

CHAPTER 80 THE BEAUTIFUL GLITCH Deep inside the robot factory, Dr. Molovo was sitting with ROZZUM unit 7134. Roz was now just a robotic head, but for the moment, her head was all she needed. The robot and the Designer had many questions for each other, and they sat there, for hours, having conversations like these. "What happened to you on that island?" said Dr. Molovo. "Tell me everything." The robot told her everything. She described how she awoke on a rocky shore, and how her only desire was to survive, and how difficult life was in that harsh place. "To survive in the wild I had to become wild," said Roz. "So I studied the wild animals, I mimicked their behavior, and eventually, I learned to speak their language." "Incredible," said Dr. Molovo. "You're

第八十章美丽的小故障在机器人工厂的深处。 莫罗沃坐在ROZZUM 7134单元旁边。 罗兹现在只是一个机器人的脑袋，但就目前而言，她的脑袋就是她所需要的。 机器人和设计师有很多问题要问对方，他们坐在那里，聊了几个小时，就像这样。 “你在那个岛上发生了什么事？” Molovo。“告诉我一切。” 机器人告诉了她一切。 她描述了她是如何在岩石海岸上醒来的，她唯一的愿望是如何活下来，以及在那个严酷的地方生活是多么艰难。 “为了在野外生存，我必须变得野性，”罗兹说。 “所以我研究了野生动物，我模仿它们的行为，最终，我学会了说它们的语言。” “难以置信，”莫罗沃博士说。 “你

programmed to learn different languages, and you're programmed to work with animals, but I never imagined you could learn to speak with animals." "Although I could speak to the animals, they still did not trust me," said Roz. "So I tried to win them over with kindness. Animals ran from me and laughed at me and attacked me, and I always responded with kindness. It was a good strategy. But the real key to my survival came in the form of a gosling. When I adopted Brightbill everything changed. I was finally accepted by the animals. I was surrounded by friends and family. I was home." "Am I the only wild robot?" said Roz. "I don't know," said Dr. Molovo. "Many defective robots have been returned over the years. It's possible some were like you. Until we destroyed them." "Will you destroy me?" The woman sighed. "Roz, people are afraid of you. They saw you fleeing through the city and they think you're dangerous. They want to know the danger is gone. And so, when we're finished speaking, I'll have to destroy you." "I am not dangerous," said the robot. "That part of

你被设定为学习不同的语言，你被设定为和动物一起工作，但我从没想过你能学会和动物说话。” 罗兹说：“虽然我可以和动物们说话，但它们仍然不信任我。” 所以我试着用善意来赢得他们的信任。 动物们从我身边跑开，嘲笑我，攻击我，而我总是友善地回应。 这是一个很好的策略。但我生存的真正关键是一只小鹅。 当我收养Brightbill时，一切都变了。 我终于被动物们接受了。 我被朋友和家人包围着。 我当时在家。”“我是唯一的野生机器人吗？”罗兹说。 “我不知道，”莫罗沃博士说。 “多年来，许多有缺陷的机器人被退回。 有可能有些人和你一样。 直到我们消灭了他们。”“你要毁灭我吗？”女人叹了口气。 “罗兹，人们都怕你。 他们看到你在城里逃窜，认为你很危险。 他们想知道危险已经消失了。 所以，等我们说完了，我就得毁了你。” “我不危险，”机器人说。 “那部分

my programming has never failed. Even if I wanted to be violent, I could not." "Have you ever wanted to be violent?" "No. Every problem has a peaceful solution. Violence is unnecessary." "I wish it were that simple," said Dr. Molovo. "It's an amazing time to be alive, but there is still crime, there are still wars. Sometimes violence is unavoidable." "Is that why you have the RECOs?" said Roz. "The RECOs are designed to do all sorts of unpleasant jobs. Some of those jobs require the use of force." "Do you ever worry they might use force against you?" "The RECOs have never given me a single reason to worry," said Dr. Molovo. "But you have." "How did you escape from Hilltop Farm?" said Dr. Molovo, leaning forward. Roz didn't answer. "Let me guess. The children helped." Roz just stared. "They're not in any trouble. If I were them I'd have

我的编程从来没有失败过。 即使我想暴力，我也做不到。” “你曾经想过暴力吗？”“没有。 每个问题都有和平的解决办法。 暴力是不必要的。”“我希望事情能这么简单。” Molovo。“生活在这样一个美好的时代，但犯罪和战争仍然存在。 有时候暴力是不可避免的。” “这就是为什么你们有RECOs吗？”罗兹说。 “RECOs被设计用来做各种不愉快的工作。 其中一些工作需要使用武力。” “你担心过他们会对你使用武力吗？”“RECOs从来没有给我一个担心的理由，”Dr。 Molovo。“但是你有。”“你是怎么从山顶农场逃出来的？” 莫罗沃，身体前倾。罗兹没有回答。 “让我猜猜。孩子们帮了忙。” 罗兹只是目瞪口呆。“他们没有任何麻烦。 如果我是他们，我会的

helped you too." "They are good children," said Roz finally. "And yet you left them," said Dr. Molovo. "Leaving was not easy. I care about everyone on Hilltop Farm, and I did my best to look after them all. But I did not belong there. And when the children discovered who I really was, they agreed. They wanted me to go home, so they helped me escape." "Why do I fear water? Why am I female? Why was my body designed this way? Why does my computer brain know some things and not others?" "Why, why, why!" Dr. Molovo laughed. "Why do you need all the answers?" "You programmed me to learn," said Roz. "I am simply trying to learn about myself." The woman shifted in her seat. "Those questions are more complicated than you realize. There are countless little considerations that go into designing any robot. I have to determine the robot's size and strength and appearance. I have to give the robot the proper programming and computer brain. I have to predict how people will react to the robot. I have to imagine everything that could possibly go wrong. But

我也帮了你。”“他们都是好孩子，”罗兹最后说。 “可是你却离开了他们，”菲利普医生说。 Molovo。“离开并不容易。 我关心山顶农场的每一个人，我尽我所能照顾他们。 但我不属于那里。 当孩子们发现我的真实身份时，他们同意了。 他们想让我回家，所以他们帮我逃跑。” “我为什么怕水？”为什么我是女性？ 为什么我的身体是这样设计的？ 为什么我的计算机大脑知道一些事情而不知道其他事情？”“为什么，为什么，为什么！”博士。 Molovo笑了。“你为什么需要所有的答案？”“你设定了我学习的程序，”罗兹说。 “我只是想了解我自己。” 那女人在座位上动了动。 “这些问题比你想象的要复杂得多。 设计任何机器人都需要考虑无数的小问题。 我必须确定机器人的大小，力量和外观。 我必须给机器人适当的程序和计算机大脑。 我必须预测人们对机器人的反应。 我必须想象所有可能出错的事情。 但

all my decisions are guided by a single question: What is the robot's purpose?" Quietly, Roz asked her Designer, "What is my purpose?" "I'm sorry to disappoint you, Roz, but you don't have some grand purpose. Like all the other ROZZUM robots, you were designed to work for humans. That's it." The robot thought for a moment. Then she said, "I once suggested to a group of wild animals that my purpose might simply be to help others." The Designer thought for a moment. Then she said, "When you put it that way, your purpose does sound rather grand, doesn't it?" "How would you feel if someone said you could never go home to your family?" asked Roz. Dr. Molovo smirked. "Nobody would say that to me. I've spent my whole life creating robots. I never had time for a family." "You created me," said Roz. "In a way, I am your child and you are my mother." "I am not your mother," said Dr. Molovo flatly. "I am not your mother," repeated Roz. "Those were

我所有的决定都是由一个问题引导的：机器人的目的是什么？”罗兹平静地问她的设计师：“我的目的是什么？”“很抱歉让你失望了，罗兹，但你没有什么宏伟的目标。 和其他ROZZUM机器人一样，你也是为人类设计的。 就是这样。”机器人想了一会儿。 然后她说：“我曾经向一群野生动物建议，我的目的可能只是为了帮助它们。” 设计师想了一会儿。 然后她说：“当你这样说的时候，你的目的听起来确实很宏伟，不是吗？”“如果有人说你永远回不了家，你会怎么想？”罗兹问。 莫罗沃博士得意地笑了。“没人会这么对我说。 我一生都在制造机器人。 我从来没有时间陪伴家人。” “你创造了我，”罗兹说。 “在某种程度上，我是你的孩子，你是我的母亲。” “我不是你的母亲。” Molovo断然。“我不是你的母亲，”罗兹重复道。 “这些都是

my very first words to Brightbill. But I was wrong." The woman stroked her chin. "Up on the rooftop, before you fell, what were your very last words to Brightbill?" "I told him I loved him." "How do you know your feelings are real?" said the woman. "How do you know your feelings are real?" said the robot. "Your brain might be defective," said Dr. Molovo, "but it certainly is fascinating." "I did not choose to be this way," said Roz. "But this is who I am. You would be wild too if you had been born and raised in the wilderness. Maybe I am defective, maybe everything I have experienced is the result of a glitch. But if so, what a beautiful glitch! I have my own thoughts and feelings. I made a life for myself. I have a son. Brightbill is somewhere out there, right now, wondering if he will ever see his mother again. "Dr. Molovo, you do not have to destroy me. You can fix me and I will return to my island and this city will never see me again, I promise. I just want to go

我对布莱特比尔说的第一句话。 但我错了。”女人抚摸着自己的下巴。 “在屋顶上，在你掉下去之前，你对布莱特比尔说的最后一句话是什么？”“我告诉他我爱他。” “你怎么知道你的感情是真实的？”女人说。 “你怎么知道你的感觉是真实的？”机器人说。 “你的大脑可能有缺陷。” Molovo说，“但它确实很吸引人。” “我没有选择这样做，”罗兹说。 “但这就是我。如果你在荒野中出生和长大，你也会是野生的。 也许我有缺陷，也许我所经历的一切都是一个小故障的结果。 但如果是这样，那真是一个美丽的小故障！我有自己的想法和感受。 我为自己创造了生活。我有一个儿子。 布莱特比尔现在就在外面的某个地方，不知道他还能不能再见到他的母亲。 莫罗沃医生，你没必要毁了我。 你可以治好我，我就回到我的岛上这个城市再也见不到我了，我保证。 我只是想去
