扎克伯格成功研发出人工智能管家贾维斯

 　　In a Facebook video posted last Tuesday, Mark Zuckerberg debuted¹ his artificial intelligence (AI) home assistant Jarvis, which was inspired by Tony Stark's AI assistant Jarvis from the Iron Man movies.

　　在上周二发布于脸书上的一段视频中，马克·扎克伯格首次展示了他的人工智能(AI)家庭助手贾维斯，其灵感源自《钢铁侠》系列电影中托尼·斯塔克的AI助手贾维斯。

　　He spent 100 hours building the assistant, which can turn lights on and off, play music based on the personal tastes of both him and wife Priscilla Chan, automatically² open their front gate for those it recognizes, make toast and even entertain his toddler.

　　扎克伯格花了100个小时打造的这个家庭助手，可以控制灯光开关、根据他和妻子普莉希拉·陈的个人品味播放音乐、自动为它能识别的人打开家里的前门、制作吐司，甚至可以逗他刚学步的孩子开心。

　　Zuckerberg posted on Facebook in October asking who should voice his AI assistant, and Morgan Freeman was the "overwhelming³ choice."

　　今年10月，扎克伯格在脸书发帖询问该找谁为其AI助手配音，推选摩根·弗里曼的人占压倒性多数。

　　Freeman accepted the proposal after Zuckerberg called him in December.

　　扎克伯格本月致电弗里曼后，弗里曼接受了提议。

　　"I called him...and I said, 'Hey, I posted this thing, and...thousands of people want you to be the voice. Will you do it?', and he accepted."

　　“我给他（弗里曼）打了一个电话，我说，‘嘿，我发布了这么个帖子。许多人想要你来为它配音，你愿意做这事吗？’最终他答应了。”

　　It's the result of a "personal growth challenge" Zuckerberg gave himself at the start of the year.

　　这一成就可以说是扎克伯格在及今年年初给自己设定的“个人成长挑战”的最终成果。
