每日一句：2017考研英语第二十句
来源：何凯文
For now, he reckons, general-purpose machine intelligence remains a long way off. The pattern-recognizing abilities of deep-learning algorithms（n.演算法; 运算法则; algorithm的名词复数 ) 计算程序; are impressive, but computers still lack many of the mental tools that humans take for granted. A big one is “transfer learning”, which is what AI researchers call reasoning by analogy. This is the ability to take lessons learned in one domain and apply them to another. And machines like AlphaGo have no goals, and no more awareness of their own existence than does a word processor or a piece of accounting software.
词汇突破：1. Reckon 认为（这样的词最安全的就是翻译为认为。
）
2. general-purpose 一般性目的
3. The pattern-recognizing abilities of deep-learning algorithms 深度学习运算法则的模式识别能力（这个名词真的是够装的，我反正不知道在说什么，但是据说就是阿尔法狗的核心竞争力。
）
4. transfer learning 转移学习能力
5. reasoning by analogy. 通过类比来推理
6. apply A to B 运用A到B中
7. no more…than…双方否定句型 (这是每年考研都会讲到的一个句
型，今年的句子中又遇到了，所以变得是内容，不变的是结构。
)
例句： I run no faster than dose Jack.
=I run no faster than Jack does.(faster 中的-er就等于more，每年都有蠢萌的人来问我怎么没有more)
我跑的不快，就如Jack跑的也不快那样。
（在than引导的句子中虽然没有否定词但是也要翻译成否定的含义。
）
这种结构也可以是：not （few）…any more than…这样的变体。
解析：1. For now, he reckons, general-purpose machine intelligence remains a long way off.
他认为，迄今一般性目的的机器智能还有很长一段路要走。
2. The pattern-recognizing abilities of deep-learning algorithms are impressive, but computers still lack many of the mental tools that humans take for granted.
虽然深度学习运算法则的模式识别能力给人印象深刻，但是计算机依然缺乏很多人类轻易就能具备（take for granted）的思维工具. 3. A big one is “transfer learning”, which is what AI researchers call reasoning by analogy.其中很大的一个就是“转移学习能力。
”也就是人工智能研究者所称的“通过类比来推理”4. This is the ability to take lessons learned in one domain and apply them to another.
这种能力是指把在一个领域中所学的教训运用到另外的一个领域中
去。
5. And machines like AlphaGo have no goals, and no more awareness of their own existence than does a word processor or a piece of accounting software.
而且像阿尔法狗这样的机器是没有目标的。
他们没有自己存在的意识，就如一个文档处理软件或者会计软件也没有自我存在意识一样。
最后一个句子中的句型是昨天学习的关键，今天就来考察一下大家有没有“transfer learning “的能力，看看大家能不能学习下面句子的分析：
But his primary task is not to think about the moral code which governs his activity, any more than a businessman is expected to dedicate his energies to an exploration of rules of conduct in business.。
