We are just in a situation where there are no good theories explaining what consciousness actually is and how you could ever build a machine to get there.”
【例句解析】本句出现了从句的嵌套,其中句子的主干为We are just in a situation;其后跟上一个where引导的定语从句where there are no good theories用来修饰限定situation;theories后边又跟上一个形容词短语做后置定语,用来修饰限定theories;在形容词短语里边并列两个宾语从句,其中一个是what consciousness actually is,另外一个是 how you could ever build a machine to get there;
【例句翻译】我们正处于这样的处境,目前没有合适的理论解释意识究竟是什么,我们又如何能建造一个机器去达到呢(复制人类的意识呢)。
