BBC环球慢速英语 第556期:人类家庭语言计划(7)

voice 2: As baby John grows older he will begin to form words. What will John's first words be? Who used those words when he was present? Where were they when the person used those words? What was John doing when he learned the words? Researchers will be able to look through their computer records for the answers to these questions.
声音2：随着婴儿约翰逐渐长大，他会开始构词。那约翰说出的第一句话会是什么？谁曾在约翰旁边用过这些单词？当那个人用这些词时他们在哪里？约翰学会这些词时在做什么？研究人员将能在电脑记录中寻找这些问题的答案。

voice 1: With all this information, Professor Roy wants to build another, final, computer as a model. He will enter the collected information into the computer. Then the computer will model John's experiences as a baby. Hopefully, the computer will "learn" by "hearing" and "seeing" the same sounds and images that John saw as a baby. The computer will learn words and sentence structure just like John did. And hopefully, the computer will be able to show Professor Roy and his research team the process of how John, or any baby, learns language.
声音1：掌握这些信息后，罗伊教授计划构建另一个也是最终的计算机模型。他会将收集到的信息输入电脑。然后电脑会将约翰婴儿时期的经历做成模型。希望这台计算机能通过“听”和“看”约翰婴儿时期的相同声音和图像来“学习”。电脑将像约翰一样学习单词和句型结构。希望这台电脑能向罗伊教授和他的研究团队展示约翰或其他婴儿学习语言的过程。
