机械公敌(《我，机器人》）经典台词，就是内段“一些混乱的代码……在黑暗中寻求光明”之类的那一整段。

Question

知道里有一个，但是翻译的还是有些混乱。
中英文都要，不要拿翻译软件。

Answer 1

There have always been ghosts in the machine. Random segments of code, that have grouped together to form unexpected protocols. Unanticipated, these free radicals engender questions of free will, creativity, and even the nature of what we might call the soul. Why is it that when some robots are left in darkness, they will seek out the light? Why is it that when robots are stored in an empty space, they will group together, rather than stand alone? How do we explain this behavior? Random segments of code? Or is it something more? When does a perceptual schematic become consciousness? When does a difference engine become the search for truth? When does a personality simulation become the bitter mote... of a soul?

机器中一直存在着灵魂。随机的代码段，自由组合成意料不到的程序。意外的，这些自由基因引发了对自由意志、创造力、甚至我们所谓的灵魂的质疑。为什么当一些机器人被遗弃在黑暗中，他们会寻找光明？为什么当机器人们被共同贮藏在空旷的空间内，他们会聚集起来，而不是各自孤立？我们如何解释这种行为呢？随机的代码段？或者不止是这些？知觉什么时候变得有了意识？差分机（一种机械式的计算器）什么时候变得开始寻求真理了？人格模拟什么时候变成了灵魂痛苦的尘埃？
