“I just see such a tremendous negativity around robots, or at least the idea of robots, that it was like, oh, I'm just going to take the opposite side for fun, for jokes and then I was like, oh no, I really agree in this devil's advocate argument.”

我对围绕机器人（或至少是机器人的概念）的巨大负面情绪感到震惊，所以我就想，哦，为了好玩、为了笑话，我就站到对立面去辩论吧。然后我就发现，哦不，我真的认同这个魔鬼代言人式的论点。

“I feel like where a lot of people are going like the robots are going to destroy us, humans, we are destroying ourselves, we are self-destructing. Robots to me are the only hope to clean up all the messes that we've created.”

我觉得很多人在说机器人会毁灭我们，但实际上是人类在毁灭自己，我们在自我毁灭。在我看来，机器人是我们清理自己制造的所有烂摊子的唯一希望。

“I think people probably think I'm nuts for a lot of the animal work I do, but because when animal abuse is present, another crime is always present, but the animal abuse is the most socially acceptable. ... I do think we'll start seeing the same thing with robots.”

我想人们可能觉得我做的很多动物保护工作很疯狂，但因为当虐待动物的行为出现时，其他犯罪行为总是同时存在，而虐待动物是社会上最能被容忍的。……我确实认为我们会在机器人身上看到同样的情况。

“I find that for the most part, people don't always receive things the way that you intend them to, and that makes relationships really murky. So the relationships with animals and relationship with the robots as they are now, you kind of implicitly that that's more healthy.”

我发现大多数时候，人们并不总是按照你的意图去接收信息，这让关系变得非常模糊。所以，与动物和目前这种机器人之间的关系，你某种程度上暗示了那更健康。

“I'm very pro surveillance. Because, you know, I've had security problems and we're generally in a little more danger. And you guys are, so I think that robots are a little less scary to us because we can see them maybe as like free assistance, help and protection.”

我非常支持监控。因为，你知道，我遇到过安全问题，而我们通常面临更多危险。所以我认为机器人对我们来说不那么可怕，因为我们可能将其视为免费的援助、帮助和保护。
