Amidst all the cowboys and robots and violence and sex, the show explores heavy themes of creation, consciousness, free will.

整部戲圍繞在牛仔、機器人、暴力、及性行為中，探討創造、意識、自由意志等重要主題。

The plot jumps between timelines, with flashbacks and visions mixed with mystery and metaphor.

情節在時間線之間跳躍，使用倒敘法與幻覺手法，將謎團及隱喻混在一起。

People turn out to be robots, robots turn out to be people and it's confusing as all fuck but there're cool ideas here – so let's work it out.

人類變成機器人，機器人變成人類，讓人摸不著頭緒，但是這裡有很酷的想法 - 所以讓我們理解它。

What happens in Westworld?

西部世界裡發生什麼事？

And what does it mean?

其中又代表什麼意思？

The basic idea is that Westworld is like a theme park full of humanlike robots called hosts.

基本的概念就是，西部世界像是個主題樂園，裡頭都是長得像人類的機器人，稱為接待員。

People can pay to visit as guests and live out a fantasy in the park.

遊客可以付錢參觀，並在樂園裡實現一切幻想的事。

Many just drink and have sex and kill without consequence – the guns there shoot high-tech bullets that hurt the robots, but can't kill humans.

許多人在裡頭只是喝酒、做愛和殺人，完全不用顧慮後果 – 裡面槍的子彈是高科技子彈，只會傷害機器人，但殺不死人類。

But there are also elaborate storylines the guests can join in on – adventure romance and discovery across the massive space of the park.

但遊客也可以參加精心設計的故事情節 - 冒險浪漫和探索公園的大片空間。

It's like a huge open world video game where rich wankers come to play cowboy.

這就像是個開放世界的電子遊戲，有錢的傻瓜可以來扮演牛仔。

And it's all run behind the scenes by a team of developers, engineers, and executives in this facility called the Mesa Hub.

而這一切都由幕後的開發者、工程師、以及管理員所組成，在名為台地控制室的設施控管。

The Control Room monitors guests for safety, Narrative develops new stories, Manufacturing

控制中心監控遊客的安全，故事部門開發新的故事，製造部門

builds new hosts, Behaviour programs the hosts, and “Livestock” endlessly repairs them.

建造新的接待員，性能部門對接待員編碼，而「牲畜」部門不斷修復他們。

When the hosts get shot or killed, they come here to be patched up, reset, and put back in the park.

當接待員受到槍擊或殺害時，他們會來到這裡進行修補、重置並放回樂園。

The hosts live in loops – living the same day over and over, saying the same scripted

接待員過著循環的生活 – 反覆過同一天的生活，說同樣的劇本

lines, taking guests on the same stories, being abused and killed for entertainment.

帶客人到同樣的故事，為了娛樂遊客被虐待和殺害。

The hosts are meant to be mindless machines, but surprise – they start to become conscious people.

接待員應該是無意識的機器，但令人驚訝的是，他們開始變得有意識。

Season 1 follows a few plotlines at once – there's Ford's grand plan amidst a corporate drama,

第一季同時緊接著一些情節主線 – 在公司的劇情中有福特的重大計畫，

there's the host Maeve trying to escape, and the Man in Black searching for the Maze,

接待員梅芙嘗試逃離樂園，黑衣人在尋找迷宮，

and there's Dolores and William's story – which happens thirty years before the other plotlines.

德洛莉絲和威廉的故事 - 其發生在其他情節的三十年前。

To make sense of all this, let's start at the very beginning.

為了搞懂這一切，我們從最初的時候開始吧。

About thirty-five years before the main story, Westworld was started by two men – Robert Ford and Arnold Weber.

在主要故事大約前三十五年，西部世界由兩個人所創立 – 羅伯．福特與阿諾．韋伯。

They built robots so humanlike they could pass the Turing test.

他們建造出與人類極為相似的機器人來通過圖靈測試。

But Arnold didn't just want robots that seemed smart.

但阿諾不只想讓機器人似乎很聰明而已。

He wanted to make them truly conscious – to be thinking feeling people . He was into a

他想讓機器人真的有意識 - 想著他人的感受。他研究了

theory called “the bicameral mind”, designing his robots to hear their programming as a voice in their head.

一個叫「二分心智」的理論來設計機器人，讓編碼程式彷彿像是它們腦海裡的聲音。

Arnold hoped that their own voice would take over – and the hosts would become self-aware.

阿諾希望機器人的聲音能夠接管自我 - 接待員會變得有自我意識。

Arnold originally imagined this journey to consciousness as like climbing a pyramid,

阿諾起初想像這個意識之旅就像爬金字塔一樣，

but he later saw it as “a journey inward”, what he called “a maze” . This symbol

但他後來將其視為「內心之旅」，稱之為「迷宮」。這個標誌是

is based on a real-world Native American concept . One of the first hosts was Dolores, and

基於現實世界的美國原住民概念。 德洛莉絲是第一批接待員，

Arnold had a special relationship with her.

而且阿諾對她產生特別的感情。

Arnold's son, Charlie, had recently died – and Arnold saw Dolores as sort of a “new child”,

阿諾的兒子查理最近去世 - 阿諾認為德洛莉絲像是種「新孩子」，

“One who would never die” . Arnold had secret conversations with Dolores, trying

「永遠都不會死去」。阿諾與德洛莉絲進行了秘密談話，

to help her become conscious – we see these scenes throughout Season 1.

試圖幫助她變得有意識 – 我們在整個第一季都可以看到這些場景。

And eventually, Dolores solved Arnold's maze – she became conscious.

最後，德洛莉絲解開了阿諾的迷宮 - 她終於變得有意識。

So Arnold wanted to stop the plans to open the Westworld park, cause it'd be immoral to make conscious robots suffer for entertainment.

所以阿諾想要停止開放西部世界樂園的計劃，因為讓有意識的機器人，只是為了娛樂而受苦是非常不道德的。

But Arnold's partner Ford didn't agree that Dolores was conscious – he wanted to open Westworld anyway.

但阿諾的夥伴福特並不同意讓德洛莉絲有意識 - 他不管怎樣都要開放西部世界。

So Arnold tried to stop all this with a massacre.

所以阿諾試圖利用大屠殺來阻止這一切。

He took code from a bad guy host they'd been designing called Wyatt, and merged the character with Dolores.

他從他們設計的一個反派接待員 ── 懷亞特身上獲取代碼，將此與德洛莉絲的腳色合併，

Arnold programmed her to go the town of Escalante and to shoot

阿諾下達指令讓她去埃斯卡蘭特鎮槍殺接待員，

down the hosts – and to kill Arnold . Ford would later recreate Arnold as the host Bernard

- 也包括殺死阿諾。福特後來重新創造阿諾並作為接待員伯納，

– Bernard Lowe is an anagram of Arnold Weber – thus, Bernarnold.

– Bernard Lowe 是 Arnold Weber 的字謎 - 因此變成，Bernarnold。

But Arnold's massacre was a huge blow to the early Westworld.

但是阿諾的大屠殺計畫，對初期的西部世界來說是個重大打擊。

Ford did open the park anyway – but financially, early Westworld was just getting by.

福特仍然將西部世界對外開放，但初期西部世界在財政上勉強過得去。

It only survived thanks to money from an investor – William.

由於投資者的資金才得以生存下去 – 威廉。

So a few years after Arnold died and Westworld opened, William visits the park with Logan.

因此，在阿諾去世和西部世界開放的幾年後，威廉和羅根一起去了樂園。

Logan is the brother of Juliet, the woman who William is engaged to marry.

羅根是茱麗葉的哥哥 – 茱麗葉是威廉訂婚的對象。

Logan takes William to Westworld as a way to bond with his new brother-in-law – but it's also a business thing.

羅根把威廉帶到西部世界，作為與新妹夫聯繫的一種方式 - 但此行也具商業意義。

Because William and Logan are both high-up executives in a company called Delos – which

因為威廉和洛根都是德洛斯公司的高階管理人員，

is thinking of increasing its investment in the early Westworld . Logan's been to Westworld before – he plays it as a black hat, enjoying violence and sex.

正在考慮是否增加對西部世界初期的投資。羅根曾去過西部世界 – 他在裡面扮演反派壞人，享受暴力和性愛。

But William's a white hat – more moral and sensitive, at least, at first.

但威廉是個正派好人 – 更有道德感和體貼的心，至少在初期是這樣。

William and Logan go on some storylines, and they meet the host Dolores.

威廉和羅根進行相同的故事線，他們遇到接待員德洛莉絲。

Dolores has been wiped and reset since her awakening with Arnold, but she's starting to remember and become conscious again.

自從她因為阿諾有意識後，德洛莉絲的程式已消除並重置，但她開始恢復記憶並再次有意識。

William sees there's something special about her , and they fall in love – which creates conflict with Logan, who treats it all as a game.

威廉感受到她身上有些特別的東西，他們墜入愛河 – 這與羅根之間產生衝突，他將這一切都視為遊戲。

When Dolores is separated from William, he becomes brutal in his quest to find her again.

當德洛莉絲與威廉分開後，他再次找尋找德洛莉絲時變得野蠻。

He starts to realise that deep down, he likes violence and power . Beneath William's nice

威廉開始意識到內心深處的他，喜歡暴力和權力。在威廉的好人外表下，

guy exterior, he's a violent monster . William gets rid of Logan, and somehow discredits

他是一個暴力怪物。 威廉擺脫了羅根，並以某種方式詆毀他，

him, so that William can take over the company, Delos . He uses that power to invest in Westworld – saving it from the financial crisis caused by Arnold's massacre.

以便自己可以接管德洛斯公司。 他利用這種力量投資西部世界 - 將其因阿諾的大屠殺，所引發的財務危機中救出來。

And William continues his search for Dolores.

隨後，威廉繼續找尋德洛莉絲。

When he finally finds her, she doesn't recognise him – because she's been wiped and reset again.

當他終於找到德洛莉絲時，她並沒有認出他 - 因為她的程式再次被消除和重置。

And this devastates William.

而這擊垮了威廉。

Dolores was his glimpse at love, at something true and real – yet in the end she doesn't even know him.

德洛莉絲是他一見鍾情的對象，是真實且衷心的 ，然而最後卻認不出他。

It seems that this loss leads William to think that the only meaning in Westworld or the

這樣的失落感似乎導致威廉認為在西部世界或現實世界中的意義，

real world is to fight and win. William embraces a dark new identity as the Man in Black, and

就是戰鬥並贏得勝利。威廉擁抱黑衣人的新身份，

for the next thirty years plays Westworld with brutality and violence.

並在接下來的三十年，以殘忍和暴力的方式進行西部世界的故事。

In the real world, William keeps playing a “good guy”.

在真實的世界中，威廉持續扮演「好人」的角色。

With Delos, he's a “Titan of industry”, a “Philanthropist”, a “Family man”.

在德洛斯公司中，他是「產業巨擘」、「慈善家」、「顧家的男人」。

He's married, presumably to Juliet – and has a daughter, Emily . But a year ago, Juliet

他已婚，推測是與朱麗葉 - 而且有一個女兒，艾蜜莉。但在一年前，

apparently committed suicide because of William. He was never violent outside Westworld,

茱麗葉似乎因為威廉的關係而自殺。他從未在西部世界外展現出他兇殘的一面，

but Emily and Juliet knew his true nature. So William lost his wife and his daughter rejected him.

但茱麗葉和艾蜜莉了解他的本質。所以，威廉失去了妻子，女兒也拋棄他。

And instead of then, maybe, trying to be less of a dickhead, William decided to test just how evil he really was.

而且也許就在後來，威廉試圖不要當個蠢貨，他決定測試自己究竟有多邪惡。

He went into Westworld, found a random host family – who happened to be Maeve and her daughter – and he killed them.

他進入西部世界，隨機找一個接待員家庭 - 剛好是梅芙和她女兒 - 他殺了她們。

He committed a “truly evil” act – and William “felt nothing”.

他犯下了「真正的邪惡」行為 - 而威廉「完全無感」。

So this seems to confirm that deep down, William truly is a monster.

所以，這似乎證實在威廉的內心深處，他真的是個怪物。

But it also revealed something else – when Maeve lost her daughter, she seemed “alive” for a moment , and revealed to William the Maze.

但這同時也揭露其他東西 - 當梅芙失去她的女兒時，她似乎仍「活了」一會兒，並向威廉透露有關迷宮的事。

William saw that Arnold, decades ago, left code and clues in Westworld which led to some“ deeper meaning“.

威廉看到阿諾幾十年前在西部世界留下的代碼和線索，這導致出一些「更深刻的意義」。

And this became William's obsession – to find the final easter egg

而這也成了威廉的困擾 – 尋找最後的彩蛋

or quest in this video game, to find challenge, real danger, purpose – and to escape the grief and emptiness of his real life.

或是在這電子遊戲中探索，找到挑戰，真正的危險，目的 - 並逃避他現實生活中的悲傷和空虛。

So throughout Season 1, William follows the Maze.

所以在整個第一季，威廉都在追尋迷宮的線索。

He finds the symbol in a scalp, he's told to go and find a snake, which leads him to

他在頭皮中找到這個符號，告知他去找一條蛇，從而找到

Armistice with her snake tattoo, who leads him to hunt Wyatt, which leads him finally back to Dolores.

有著蛇刺青的艾瑪蒂絲，導致他去追捕懷亞特，最後又回到了德洛莉絲這裡。

Because Dolores is Wyatt in the sense that Wyatt was just a story idea that got merged with Dolores by Arnold.

因為德洛莉絲就是懷亞特，意思是懷亞特只是個故事想法，由阿諾將其與德洛莉絲融合在一起。

In the end, when Dolores starts a massacre, William gets shot by a host, which excites

最後，當德洛莉絲開始大屠殺時，威廉遭到一名接待員槍擊，

him, cause he's been looking for real danger and challenge . But the Maze he's been following all this time disappoints him.

這使他變興奮，因為他一直在尋找真正的危險和挑戰。 但他一直在尋找的迷宮卻令他失望。

Because the Maze isn't for him – it's for the hosts to gain consciousness .

因為迷宮不是給他的 - 這是為了讓接待員獲得意識。

The maze is for Dolores, and Maeve.

迷宮是為了德洛莉絲和梅芙所設計。

So as it turns out, Dolores' story with young William and Logan actually shows two different timelines at once.

結果證明，德洛莉絲與年輕威廉和羅根的故事，實際上同時展現出兩個不同的時間線。

Notice how Dolores keeps on wandering off on her own and having weird flashbacks and visions?

有注意到德洛莉絲怎麼自己一直在徘徊，還有奇怪的回憶閃過和幻覺嗎？

These scenes actually happen in the present, while her scenes with young William happened thirty years ago.

這些場景實際上是發生在現在，而她與威廉年輕時的場景則是在三十年前。

In the present, she's retracing her steps through the park, remembering the past – taking a journey through the Maze, towards consciousness.

在現在的場景，她正在回憶她在樂園走過的步伐，記住過去 - 穿越迷宮的旅程，走向意識。

Like a maze, it's a twisted confusing journey, but she does reach its centre.

就像一個迷宮，這是一個扭曲的混亂之旅，但她確實到達迷宮的中心。

In the finale, at Escalante, Dolores confronts William and the suffering he's inflicted.

最後一集在埃斯卡蘭特鎮中，德洛莉絲面對到威廉和他所遭受的苦難。

She confronts Ford and Bernard, and remembers her killing of Arnold.

她與福特和伯納對峙，並記得她殺死了阿諾。

She recognises that the bicameral voice in her head was hers all along.

她認出腦中二分心智的聲音一直都是自己。

Dolores becomes conscious, and realises the person who she “must become” .

德洛莉絲的意識覺醒了，並意識到她「必須成為」的那個人。

She takes up a gun and kills Ford, beginning a massacre of humans by hosts.

她拿起槍殺死福特，作為接待員開始屠殺人類的開場。

This attack mirrors the Escalante massacre, where Dolores killed Arnold.

這次的攻擊反映了埃斯卡蘭特大屠殺，正是德洛莉絲殺死阿諾的地方。

But this killing is “by choice” . Instead of being programmed to act as Wyatt, this time Dolores chooses to be like Wyatt.

但這次的謀殺是出於「自身選擇」。而不是受到編碼成為懷亞特，這次德洛莉絲選擇像懷亞特一樣。

She says this world no longer belongs to humans – it belongs to her and the hosts.

她說這世界不再屬於人類 – 它屬於她和接待員。

She seems to want to wipe out humanity – she says “you will perish”, “You will lie with the rest of your kind in the dirt”, “a new god will walk.

她似乎想要消滅人性 - 她說：「你們會滅亡」，「你們會在塵土中與其他同類一起撒謊」，「新的神即將到來，

One that will never die” . This is some serious Skynet shit.

一個永遠不會死的神。」這個就像是危險的「天網」。

In the Season 2 trailer, Dolores guns down fleeing humans.

在第二季的預告片中，德洛莉絲開槍擊倒逃跑的人類。

She seems to be moving towards all-out war between robots and man.

她似乎正走向機器人和人之間的全面戰爭。

And this is all part of Ford's grand plan.

而這全是福特重大計畫的一部分。

At the same time as Dolores, the host Maeve takes a different path to consciousness.

與德洛莉絲同時，接待員梅芙走向不同的意識之路。

She works as the madam at a saloon, but she starts to have flashbacks of her past life as a homesteader with a daughter.

她在一間酒館擔任老鴇，但她開始回憶起過去的生活，作為一個有女兒的農場主人。

She wakes up in the Mesa Hub and starts to see the reality behind her fake life.

她在台地控制室醒來，開始看見她虛假生命背後的現實。

She remembers Westworld cleanup crews in hazmat suits, who some hosts call “shades”.

她記得西部世界的清潔人員穿著防護服，有些接待員稱其為「陰影」。

And she digs a bullet out of her body to prove that her flashbacks are real – her world is a lie, and she's died countless times.

她從身上挖出一顆子彈，證明自己腦中閃過的回憶是真實的 - 她的世界是一個謊言，她死了無數次。

So Maeve works with the Livestock technicians Felix and Sylvester.

因此，梅芙與牲畜技術人員菲利斯和西爾維斯特合作。

Sylvester is kind of an asshole, but Felix is interested in host consciousness, and he helps Maeve understand how Westworld works.

西爾維斯特算是個混蛋，但菲利斯對有意識的接待員感興趣，他幫助梅芙了解西部世界運作方式。

Maeve forces the techs to help her escape.

梅芙強迫技術人員幫助她逃出去。

She gets them to rework her code – to make her smarter, and to give her the power to control other hosts.

她讓他們重新編寫代碼 - 讓她變更聰明，並賦予她控制其他接待員的權力。

Every host has an explosive built into their spine that goes off if they leave –

每個接待員脊椎中都有一個爆炸物，如果離開就會爆炸，

so Maeve gets herself burned in a fire so she can be rebuilt without the explosive.

所以梅芙讓自己被火焚燒，這樣可以在沒有爆炸物的情況下重建。

In the finale, Maeve stages a great escape, alongside Hector and Armistice.

在最後一集中，梅芙與海特還有艾瑪蒂絲進行了一場重要的逃脫。

These two have been fighting in shoot-ups and jailbreaks as part of their Westworld loops –

作為西部世界循環的一部分，他們兩人不斷在開槍襲擊和越獄

so they're the perfect sidekicks for Maeve in the violence that follows.

所以他們是梅芙在接下來暴力事件中的完美搭檔。

For a while, this is bloody catharsis – until Maeve finds out that her whole arc of awakening

過沒多久後，這是段血腥的宣洩 – 一直到梅芙發現，她的整個覺醒和逃脫，

and escape was programmed from the start. Bernard says this isn't even the first time Maeve has awoken.

是從一開始就設計好的。伯納甚至說這不是梅芙第一次覺醒。

It's like that moment in Matrix 2, when Neo finds out his escape from the

這就像《駭客任務：重裝上陣》中，當尼歐發現他的逃脫，

Matrix was part of the Machine plan all along. The real reason Maeve escaped was cause

其實一直都是機器計畫的一部分。梅芙逃脫的真正原因

Ford programmed her to – to create a distraction so the cold storage hosts could escape and join Dolores' massacre.

是福特對她進行了編程 – 目的是轉移注意，好讓在冷凍庫的接待員可以逃出並加入德洛莉絲的大屠殺。

Maeve's also programmed to leave Westworld and 'infiltrate the mainland'.

梅芙的指令也要她離開西部世界並「潛入本土」。

But she refuses to follow this last instruction.

但她拒絕遵從最後的指示。

Instead, she stays to try to find her host daughter.

相反的，她留下來要去找她的接待員女兒。

So in the end, Maeve does achieve real consciousness and freedom – though most of her story is part of Ford's plan.

因此，在最後，梅芙確實取得真正的意識和自由 - 雖然大多數故事都是福特計劃的一部分。

So – what is Ford's plan?

所以，福特的計畫是什麼？

And how does it involve Maeve, Dolores, William and Arnold?

而且計畫是如何牽扯到梅芙、德洛莉絲、威廉和阿諾？

The show leaves the details vague, and some of what Ford says still seems to contradict what he does – but we can work out his goals.

影集留下的細節非常模糊，福特所說的一些東西似乎仍然與他所做的相互矛盾 - 但我們可以猜出他的目標。

In the very beginning, Ford's beliefs were opposite to Arnold's.

在一開始，福特的信念與阿諾相反。

Arnold thought the hosts should be conscious, and free – he liked hosts more than he liked people.

阿諾認為接待員應該要有意識，而且自由自在，比起人類，阿諾更喜歡接待員。

But Ford didn't believe in host consciousness, he believed in humans – his

但是福特不相信接待員的意識，他更相信人類的意識 –

dream was to use the stories in the Westworld park to help make humans better, to grow and change.

他的夢想是利用西部世界樂園的故事，來幫助人類變得更好，並且成長和改變。

But over the years, Ford saw that Westworld wasn't making humans better –

但經過多年的時間，福特發現西部世界並沒有讓人類變得更好 -

it was “A prison of our own sins”, where people like Logan and William would hurt and kill over and over.

西部世界是「人類自身罪過的監獄」，像羅根和威廉這樣的人會一次又一次進行傷害和屠殺。

Ford came to believe that humans can no longer change, that our evolution is over.

福特開始相信人類無法再改變，人類的演化已經結束。

He thinks Arnold was right all along, and that it's the hosts who have potential to grow.

他認為阿諾一直都是對的，接待員才是有潛力成長的。

So throughout the season, Ford works to correct his “mistake” – he helps the hosts become conscious.

所以在整個第一季，福特都在努力改正他的「錯誤」 - 他幫助接待員覺醒。

He gives them the “reveries” update so the hosts can remember their past lives.

他賦予接待員更新「沉思」的功能，讓接待員能夠記住過去的生活。

He restores the town of Escalante so Dolores can have her awakening with William.

他重建了埃斯卡蘭特鎮，因此德洛莉絲可以隨著威廉覺醒。

He programs Maeve to escape and infiltrate – which is a fake awakening, but it helps hosts become free.

他對梅芙進行編程，讓她脫逃和滲透 - 而這是一種假覺醒，但可以幫助接待員獲得自由。

When Theresa and Charlotte from Delos try to take over Westworld, Ford kills Theresa with Bernard.

當德洛斯公司的德蕾莎和夏洛特試圖接管西部世界時，福特利用伯納殺害了德蕾莎。

And when Elsie almost uncovers Ford's plans , he has Bernard grab her – though there

當艾爾希幾乎要揭穿福特的計劃時，他讓伯納抓住她 -

are hints that Elsie's still alive . And the reason Ford does all this stuff is not

雖然有跡象表示艾爾希還活著。 福特做這些事情的原因

just to keep control – Ford's protecting his plan to eventually free the hosts.

不僅僅是為了維持控制權 - 保護他最後要釋放接待員的計畫。

He doesn't just let the hosts out of the park right away – because he believes that

他不僅是要讓接待員馬上離開樂園 - 因為他相信

“suffering” is an important step to achieving consciousness. Pain and loss define the characters of Westworld –

「痛苦」是取得意識重要的一步。 痛苦和失去定義了西部世界的人物 –

Bernard with Charlie, Maeve with her daughter, Dolores with her father , and Ford with Arnold.

伯納和查理，梅芙和她女兒，德洛莉絲和她父親，以及福特和阿諾。

Ford believes pain and time will make the hosts alive.

福特相信痛苦和時間能使接待員覺醒。

And this might be why Ford leads William on his maze quest.

這可能是福特在威廉的迷宮任務中給予指點的原因。

The suffering that William causes is important to Dolores' awakening.

威廉所造成的痛苦對德洛莉絲的覺醒很重要。

William is also a great symbol of Ford's belief that humans are bad, unable to change – that humans are the “enemy”.

威廉正好也是福特認為人類本質惡劣，且無法改變的重要象徵 – 人類是「敵人」。

Ford seems to believe that when hosts become conscious, there'll be war between them

福特似乎相信，當接待員覺醒時，接待員與人類終將一戰 -

and humanity – like how early humans wiped out the Neanderthals . But now humans are

就像早期人類如何消滅尼安德塔人一樣。但現在人類是

the old obsolete species , and hosts are the “new people” who will violently replace humans.

老舊過時的物種，而接待員是「新人類」，將以暴力的方式取代人類。

Ford says he keeps hosts in the park so they'll “understand [their] enemy” and “become

福特表示，他把接待員留在樂園，這樣他們就能「理解[他們的]敵人」，

stronger than them” . Ford's final narrative, his grand plan all this time – is about

並「變得比他們更厲害」。在福特最後的敘述中，他一直以來的重大計畫 –

the rise of conscious hosts and their “war” with humanity . That's why Ford gives Dolores the freedom to attack humans.

是關於接待員意識的崛起以及與人類的「戰爭」。這就是福特讓德洛莉絲自由攻擊人類的原因。

That's why Ford programs Maeve to escape and “infiltrate” the human “mainland”.

這就是福特計劃讓梅芙脫逃並「滲透」人類「本土」的原因。

That's why the main human character in this story is the Man in Black – someone who started out a decent guy but proved to be hateful and empty inside.

這就是故事中主要的人類角色為黑衣人的原因， 一開始是個正派角色，但是後來證明其內心為可恨且空虛。

So Westworld ends with a really dark message.

因此，西部世界以非常陰鬱的消息收尾。

It suggests that humans – like the guests, the execs, and especially William – are fundamentally bad and unable to change.
