沙特阿拉伯授予机器人索菲娅公民权利

A humanoid named Sophia has made history by becoming the first robot in the world to be granted citizenship.

一位名叫索菲娅的机器人创造了历史，它成为了全球首个被赋予公民权的机器人。

Saudi Arabia offered citizenship to the robot, designed by entrepreneur David Hanson.

沙特阿拉伯于日前将公民权授予了这位是由企业家大卫·哈德森设计的机器人。

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.

在沙特首都利雅得举行的“未来投资倡议会议”上，记者安德鲁·罗斯·索尔金对索菲娅进行了采访。采访快结束时，他宣布了这一消息。

"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.

他说：“我们刚刚得知，索菲娅，我希望你在听我说话。你成为沙特历史上首个被赋予公民权的机器人。”

Sophia responded, without missing a beat: "I want to thank very much the kingdom of Saudi Arabia."

索菲娅则平静地回答说：“我非常感谢沙特阿拉伯王国。”

"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.

这个机器人表示：“获此独一无二的殊荣，我深感自豪与荣幸。成为世界上首个被赋予公民权的机器人，这是个历史性的时刻。”

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.

不过有关公民权的细节并未提及，而索菲娅是否与沙特公民享有完全相同的权利，目前也尚不清楚。
