On June 7 Google pledged not to “design or deploy AI” that would cause “overall harm,” or to develop AI-directed weapons or use AI for surveillance that would violate international norms. (2019年 英语一 Text3)
【难点分析】本句难点在于主句中的并列结构。to “design or deploy AI”和to develop AI-directed weapons or use AI for surveillance为并列结构(宾语),并列连词为or,其中,develop AI-directed weapons和use AI for surveillance为并列结构,并列连词也是or。此外,pledge to do sth.为固定搭配,表示“承诺做某事”。
【参考译文】6月7日,谷歌承诺不会“设计或部署会造成全面伤害的人工智能”,也不会研发由人工智能指挥的武器,或将人工智能用于违反国际准则的监视行动。
