Q&A Round 2 [continued]
In what fields or how are these technologies being used? 這些人工智能和機器人科技具體是在哪些領域如何被使用的？

3. 人工智能的第三大應用領域：智能客服
Automated customer services
Where there are language barriers, I think automated customer services can be very useful.
Language barriers 語言障礙
語言障礙？！是說中文嗎？Alex真是太謙虛啦哇哈哈~
They sometimes lack the emotion that you want.
Lack the emotion 缺乏【人類的】感情
Human-machine interaction 人機交互

4. 重點人群身份識別系統
重點人群是個非常中國化的說法，所以Alex說'we don't have the direct name but we do have the same sort of system. We refer to it as Automated Facial Recognition System. '
The direct name 可以直譯的名字
Refer to sth as ... 把某事/某物叫做……
Automated Facial Recognition System 自動臉部識別系統 【敢情刷臉技術最初是為犯罪分子設計的】
It can also be used for other importance. 它也可以用于其他重要場合或領域。
這里的Importance，是個要劃重點的地方。你會發現我中文需要對應翻譯出“場合或領域”這種但在英語中，卻可以直接用importance大家就可以妥妥滴意會出來了。語言誰好誰壞，我覺得其實有時候真是半斤八兩。

The most common use of .. is when people want to check into work.
Check into work. 上班打卡
For criminal detection, this is also being trialed in London. 犯罪分子識別方面，這項技術也正在倫敦試運行中。

5. 智能網絡視頻云服務平臺
云服務平臺： cloud services
視頻分享網站：video-sharing site

I mean a very big example of cloud services is wechat apps and Alipay [mini] apps ... 云服務在中國最顯著的案例是微信和支付寶里面的小程序和應用。

You don’t have to download the app because you can have the mini apps within the Wechat app.

A big example 最顯著，最有名的例子
Mini apps 小程序

And the smart side of these video sites is because they offer a personalized service。 這些視頻網站的聰明之處就在于它們提供個性化的服務。
a personalized service 個性化的服務

They provide their recommendations so what we would say is that they provide smart profiling. They will build up a profile of the users.
smart profiling智能建檔
Build up a profile 建立檔案，動賓結構的說法

Classic Hong Kong Kungfu movies 香港經典功夫派
Horror 恐怖片 thriller
Comedy 喜劇

That's the positive aspect of it, but it also raises lots of concern among Internet users. 也引發網絡用戶的很多擔心憂慮。

Maybe they are using personal information to target advertising at you. 或許它們在利用你的個人信息來鎖定你感興趣的廣告領域。
這個沒法直譯得很自然，target advertising at you 可以理解為用你感興趣的廣告來瞄準你，就是實現精準營銷。
Target sth. at you 用某物瞄準你

比如：
Target pop music at the young 針對年輕人推廣流行樂
Target life insurance at the aged 向老年人推廣人壽保險

What people are concerned about is ...人們擔心的是…
Sb. is concerned about sth. 擔心某事

They are still developing their critical thinking. 辨別是非的能力正在發展中【尚不強大】

If they are having targeted advertising, it might encourage them to do something wrong.
Targeted advertising 定向廣告

Some computer games are aimed at children.
Be aimed at sb. 以…為目標用戶的，類似于be targeted at sb.

Extra upgrades or skins 游戲中的多余的升級或者皮膚

It can add up to a lot of money. 加起來會是很多錢。
Add up to 總和是，累計起來是 [phrasal verb,介動詞，雅思詞匯7+用法]

植入式廣告 product placement
Offensive 讓人感覺被冒犯的
Repulsive 讓人厭煩的

There's actually a big debate about that [produce placement].
A big debate 很大的爭議

The problem is whether the advertising company placed any restrictions or any requirements on the movie or TV program.
Place restrictions/requirements on sth. 對某事有做限制或要求
In actual fact 事實上
Are people believing this TV program is being unbiased or is it biased?
Biased 帶有傾向性的，帶偏見的

That's where the question comes. 這就是問題的所在。
