Computers would have difficulties making ethical decisions: if a child ran into the road, would the computer choose to hit the child or turn suddenly and potentially kill the car's pass-engers?
电脑很难做出合乎道德的决定:如果一个孩子跑到马路上,电脑会选择撞到这个孩子,还是会突然转弯,从而可能使车上的乘客致命呢?
✅语法笔记
本句的主干是Computers would have difficulties。
have difficulty (in) doing sth.的意思是"做某事有困难"。冒号后的内容对前面的内容起解释说明的作用。
i在此处引导条件状语从句,表示"如果",后面为would开头的一般疑问句。
or在此处连接hit the child和turn suddenly and potentially kill the car's passengers,表示 "或者;还是",是选择连词。
