沙特阿拉伯授予機器人索菲婭公民權利
A humanoid named Sophia has made history by becoming the first robot in the world to be granted citizenship.
一位名叫索菲婭的機器人創造了歷史，它成爲了全球首個被賦予公民權的機器人。Saudi Arabia offered citizenship to the robot, designed by entrepreneur David Hanson.
沙特阿拉伯於日前將公民權授予了這位是由企業家大衛·哈德森設計的機器人。Journalist Andrew Ross Sorkin made the announcement at the tail end of an interview with Sophia at The Future Investment Initiative in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
在沙特首都利雅得舉行的“未來投資倡議會議”上，記者安德魯·羅斯·索爾金對索菲婭進行了採訪。採訪快結束時，他宣佈了這一消息。
"We just learned, Sophia, I hope you're listening to me, that you have been now awarded what is going to be the first Saudi citizenship for a Robot," he said.
他說：“我們剛剛得知，索菲婭，我希望你在聽我說話。你成爲沙特歷史上首個被賦予公民權的機器人。”Sophia responded, without missing a beat: "I want to thank very much the kingdom of Saudi Arabia."
索菲婭則平靜地回答說：“我非常感謝沙特阿拉伯王國。”"I am very proud and honored for this unique distinction. This is historical to be the first robot in the world to be recognized with a citizenship," the robot said.
這個機器人表示：“獲此獨一無二的殊榮，我深感自豪與榮幸。成爲世界上首個被賦予公民權的機器人，這是個歷史性的時刻。”The particulars of the citizenship were not discussed, and it's not clear if Sophia will have the same rights as a human Saudi Arabian citizen.
不過有關公民權的細節並未提及，而索菲婭是否與沙特公民享有完全相同的權利，目前也尚不清楚。
