Just before Thanksgiving, the Internet lit up with the remarkable video of Boston Dynamics' robot Atlas doing a backflip.
就在感恩节之前, 波士顿活力(Boston Dynamics)的机器人Atlas做后空翻的引人注目的视频,成为了互联网的亮点。
backflip: 后空翻
It was pretty amazing to see a humanoid-shaped machine doing things that would be hard for most humans. Given all the interest in Atlas, I thought it was a good time to remind everyone about the other non-humanoid robots Boston Dynamics is building. These are the ones that have the "big freaky" factor.
看到一个人形的机器做一件对大多数人类来说很困难的事,确实让人惊奇。考虑到Atlas吸引了这么多人的极高的兴致, 我认为这是一个绝好的时机,来提醒大家注意另一个波士顿活力正在建造的非人形机器人,它才是真正的 “大怪咖”。
freaky:怪异的,畸形的

Handle 搬运45公斤重物
Perhaps it's the strange gait of Spot the robot dog or the headless SpotMini or the nothing-like-that-exists balance of Handle.
也许是Spot机器狗奇怪的步态或是没有头的Spot Mini, 或者是掌握着独一无二平衡能力的四不像Handle。
gait:走姿
In all cases, they live in their own kind of uncanny valley.
在这三种情况下, 它们都存活在自己的一种“恐怖谷”中。
uncanny valley:(编注:恐怖山谷是一个假说:恐怖谷效应,The Uncanny Valley, 指的是当一个事物与自然的、活生生的人或动物非常相似,但不完全相似的时候,它会在一些人中产生反感厌恶的情绪反应。)
The thing to remember is that something like these machines will likely inhabit the world we're now building. In fact, it may be that a lot of these machines will be inhabiting our spaces. Eventually, I suppose, we will cross the uncanny valley and their weirdness will be just commonplace.
要记住的事情是, 像这些机器的类似东西, 可能会居住在我们现在正在建造的世界。事实上, 可能是会有很多这些机器将居住在我们的空间里。最终, 我想, 我们将穿越这些恐怖谷, 他们的怪异将成为是司空见惯的。
inhabit:居住
weirdness: 怪异
commonplace:普通
I hope I will be around to see it — I think.
我希望能活着看到那一天 - 我想。
inhabit:居住
