“I propose to consider the question, 'Can machines think?' This should begin with definitions of the meaning of the terms 'machine' and 'think.' ... Instead of attempting such a definition I shall replace the question by another, which is closely related to it and is expressed in relatively unambiguous words.
The new form of the problem can be described in terms of a game which we call the 'imitation game.'... We now ask the question, 'What will happen when a machine takes the part of A in this game?' ... These questions replace our original, 'Can machines think?'”
“我提议考虑一个问题：‘机器能思考吗？’这应当从定义‘机器’和‘思考’的含义开始……但我不打算进行这样的定义，而是用另一个问题来取代它。这个问题与原问题密切相关，并且能用相对清晰的词语来表达。
这个问题的新形式可以通过一个游戏来描述，我们称其为‘模仿游戏’……现在我们要问：‘当一台机器在这个游戏中扮演A的角色时，会发生什么？’……这些问题取代了我们最初的‘机器能思考吗？’”
