Day5 谷歌人工智能

1. 因某事被严厉批评 run into more flak on sth

2. 引发争议generate controversy

3. 近期引发热议的一件事是 One recent clash has centered on 

4. 逃避某事 eschew sth 

5. 科学家 boffin

Google’s retreat comes partly because its AI talent hails overwhelmingly from the computer-science departments of American universities. Many bring liberal, anti-war views from academia with them, which can put them in direct opposition with the firm in some areas. Since AI talent is scarce, the firm has to pay heed to the principles of its boffins.

谷歌做出让步一定程度上是因为它的AI人才大多来自美国各大高校的计算机系。许多人从学术界带来了自由、反战的观点，这可能会令他们在某些领域与公司直接对立。由于AI人才稀缺，谷歌必须认真理会技术专家们的这些信条。
