About once a year we are allowed to get together to play a game of football.
每年大约有一次，我们可以获准在一起进行一次足球赛。
I'm as big as a human.
我同真人一样大小。
In fact, I look like one too.
事实上我看上去也很像人。
On the football team I'm a striker so I have to be able to run very fast.
我在球队中是前锋，所以我需要跑得非常快。
My computer chips help me to move and think like a human.
我的电脑芯片帮助我像真人一样运动和思考。
For example, I have learned to signal to my teammates in computer language to give me the ball when I am open and have a good shoot for a goal.
例如，我已经学会了用计算机语言向队友示意把球传给我，当我前面没人防守有机会射一个好球的时候。
My first football competition was in Nagoya, Japan several years ago.
我第一次足球比赛是几年前在日本的名古屋。
Last year our team went to Seattle, Washington in the USA.
去年，我们队去了美国华盛顿州的西雅图比赛。
We won second place.

They had developed a new type of program just before the competition.

So we need to encourage our programmer to improve our intelligence too.

In a way our programmer is like our coach.

She programs us with all the possible moves she has seen while watching human games.
她把观看人类比赛时所看到的一切可能动作编入我们的程序。
Then she prepares reliable moves to use if a new situation arises.
然后她把我在新情况下能用得上的可靠动作准备好。
In this way I can make up new moves using my “artificial intelligence”.
这样，我就可以用“人工智能”编制出新的动作。
I would really like to play against a human team, for I have been programmed to act just like them.
我真的特别喜欢和人类球队比赛，因为我经过程序编制，行动起来和他们一样。
After all, with the help of my electronic brain which never forgets anything, using my intelligence is what I'm all about!
不管怎样，在我过目不忘的电子脑的帮助下，运用智能就是我的一切。
