今天選讀文章的主題是「Artificial intelligence人工智慧」，文章選自2020年5月12日《新科學人》題為：An AI trained to spot hidden objects can see through camouflage 《一個經過訓練可以發現隱藏物的人工智慧可以通過保護色/偽裝看到（物體）》。我們上一次講到人工智慧AI是講到了科學家decode解碼了實驗室小白鼠的臉部表情facial expressions，今天我們要閱讀的這篇文章很有意思，還會學會一個法語發音的英文單詞，好，我們一起來閱讀吧~
Picking out pests from plants is one use of this AI that can see past camouflage

Now, listen to the article and see if you can answer the question:
What could this AI be applied to?
Camouflaged objects are difficult to detect, for both humans and artificial intelligence. But now an AI has been trained to parse objects from their backgrounds.
This could have a variety of applications, such as being used for search-and-rescue work, detecting agricultural pests, medical imaging or in military settings.
Detecting camouflaged objects requires visual perception and knowledge. Until now, many AIs have struggled with this task because their algorithms rely on visual cues, such as differences in colour or easily recognisable shapes, to identify objects.
To improve on this, Jianbing Shen at the Inception Institute of Artificial Intelligence in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates and his colleagues collated a data set of 10,000 photographs to train an AI. The data set includes 5066 images of camouflaged objects, which they have divided into 78 categories, such as 「amphibian」, 「aquatic」 and 「flying」.
The researchers hope the data set and algorithm can improve AI’s ability to recognise camouflaged objects, says Shen.

Question: What could this AI be applied to? 【apply=use】
Answer: This AI could be applied to search-and-rescue work, detecting agricultural pests, medical imaging or in military settings.
標題：An AI trained to spot hidden objects can see through camouflage
主語：An AI 一個或者一種人工智慧；
謂語是can see through=can see past 能透視、看穿
a see-through blouse 透明的女式襯衫
賓語：camouflage 表示保護色、偽裝；garage 車庫
而trained to spot hidden objects是後置定語=which is trained to spot hidden objects 被訓練發現隱藏的物體
翻譯：一個經過訓練可以發現隱藏物的人工智慧可以通過保護色/偽裝看到（物體）
第一段
介紹AI的新進展；句型結構：兩個簡單句
Camouflaged objects are difficult to detect, for both humans and artificial intelligence. 對於人類和人工智慧來說，偽裝的物體很難被發現。
camouflage n. 保護色、偽裝 —— camouflaged objects 偽裝的物體
detect v. 發現、查明；偵查出 to discover or notice sth detective n. 偵探；
lie detector n. 測謊儀；detectable adj. 可察覺的；可發現的
But now an AI has been trained to parse objects from their backgrounds.
但是現在人工智慧被訓練用來parse物體的背景。from 的，例子：新概念三冊 a report from London Zoo 來自倫敦動物園的一份報告；
parse: 表示「分析」analyze，查字典核實：
1）分析句子語法成分=break down【2005年湖北高考】；
2. examine=analyze 【選自Merriam-Webster字典】
第二段
AI此項新進展的應用廣泛，簡單句
This could have a variety of applications, 這可以有各種各樣的應用
such as being used for search-and-rescue work, 例如被用於搜救工作、
detecting agricultural pests, 檢測農業害蟲、
medical imaging or in military settings. 醫學成像或軍事環境中。【surroundings, environment】
第三段
Detecting camouflaged objects requires visual perception and knowledge.
探測偽裝的物體需要視覺感和知識。visual perception 視覺
Until now, many AIs have struggled with this task 直到現在till now, so far, 許多人工智慧一直在努力完成此項工作
原因狀語從句：because their algorithms rely on visual cues, 因為他們的算法algorithms依靠、依賴於視覺線索，cue 信號；暗示，雅思口語考試cue cards 提示卡；such as differences in colour or easily recognisable shapes, to identify objects.比如：顏色的差異或者容易被識別的形狀來識別物體
【同義詞】identify: 確認、識別=spot，recognize
第四段
沈建兵（音譯）科學家團隊為此做的工作
To improve on this, 為了改進（這一算法），
主語：Jianbing Shen at the Inception Institute of Artificial Intelligence in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates and his colleagues 阿聯阿布達比人工智慧研究所的沈建兵和他的同事們，inception n. ( formal ) the start of an institution, an organization, etc. （機構、組織等的）開端，創始
collated a data set of 10,000 photographs to train an AI. 整理了1萬張照片的數據集來訓練人工智慧。collate v. 這個詞很好猜，猜詞的線索，先「整理」，後「分類categories」【整理 collect】
The data set includes 5066 images of camouflaged objects, 數據集包括5066張偽裝對象的圖像，set 這個詞我們應該來總結下了：
1）a patchwork set of regulations: 一系列東拼西湊的規定 a set of
2) appear set to = appear ready to 已經準備做...
3）data set 集【數學】set theory 集論
非限制性定語從句：which they have divided into 78 categories, such as 「amphibian」, 「aquatic」 and 「flying」. which指代5066 images，被分為78個品類，例如：兩棲、水棲、飛行等。
第五段
The researchers hope the data set and algorithm can improve AI’s ability to recognise camouflaged objects, says Shen. 沈說，研究人員希望數據集和算法能夠提高人工智慧識別偽裝物體的能力。
1）hope that...賓語從句
2) It is hoped that...:
It is hoped that over $10 000 will be raised. 希望籌款能超過1萬美金。
3）hope to do sth: She is hoping to win the prize.
4）I hope so. / I hope not.
5）in the hope of sth/ in the hope that...抱著...的希望
* I called early in the hope of catching her before she went to work. 我很早就打了個電話，希望在她上班之前找到她。
* He asked her again in the vain hope that he could persuade her to come (= it was impossible) . 他又問了她一次，徒然指望著能說服她來。
