So in this headline the expression 'come to life' is used literally,

about things that are obviously not alive.

Let's take a look at that one more time.

讓我們再看看這個問題。

OK, Sian. Our next headline, please.

好的，西恩。我們的下一個頭條新聞，請。

This one is from the Guardian:

這張是來自《衛報》。

We are looking at 'taken in by something'.

我們正在研究 "被某些東西所吸引"。

So, when you are taken in by something,

所以，當你被某些東西所吸引時。

you are made to believe it's true -

讓你相信它是真的 --

even though it isn't. So you are tricked by something.

儘管它不是。所以你被一些東西欺騙了。

So the headline here is saying it's very normal to be tricked by machines.

所以這裡的標題是說，被機器欺騙是非常正常的。

I've got an example,

Yeah, one of those. Well, don't get taken in by it.

是的，其中之一。好了，不要被它迷惑了。

Lots of people do get taken in by these tricks, and

很多人確實被這些伎倆所迷惑，而且

that's normally how we use it. 'You get'

這就是我們通常使用的方式。'你得到'

or 'you are' taken in by something. Not 'something takes you in'.

或 "你是 "被什麼東西帶入的。而不是 "某物把你帶入"。

So, normally it's used in the passive form.

所以，通常它是以被動形式使用的。

That's right. And you can also get taken in by a person,

這是正確的。而且你也可以被一個人所吸引。

someone who is often quite charming.

一個經常很有魅力的人。

Like you Neil. Oh, thank you very much. But, don't worry,

像你一樣的尼爾。哦，非常感謝你。但是，別擔心。

I'm not trying to trick you. Let's have another look.

我不是要騙你。讓我們再看看。

We've had 'come to life',

我們已經有了'活過來'。

'mind of its own' and 'taken in by'.

屬於自己的思想 "和 "被接受"。

And 'come to life' can mean 'become alive or become more exciting'.

而'活過來'可以意味著'變得有活力或變得更刺激'。

If something has a mind of its own.

如果某個東西有自己的思想。

It's hard to control.

這很難控制。

And if you're taken in by something, you're tricked by it.

而如果你被什麼東西所吸引，你就會被它所欺騙。
