今天，我們正在發佈關於AI如何提供更好的語言翻譯的研究。透過一個新的神經網路，我們的AI研究團隊能夠更準確地翻譯語言，同時也比目前的方法快九倍。
更好地翻譯對於連接世界是很重要的。我們已經每天在Facebook上在超過45種語言間進行超過20億的翻譯，但還有更多的事情要做。您應該能夠閱讀任何語言的帖子或觀看影片，但到目前為止，該技術尚不夠好。
在人類歷史上，語言一直是溝通的障礙。令人驚奇的是，我們生活在一個技術可以改變生活的時代。瞭解某人的語言讓您更接近他們，我期待使全球翻譯成為現實。為了幫助我們快速到達，我們公開分享我們的工作，以便所有研究人員都可以使用它來構建更好的翻譯工具。

Heterotopia is a concept in human geography elaborated by philosopher Michel Foucault to describe places and spaces that function in non-hegemonic conditions.
Google：異質性是哲學家米歇爾·福柯（Michel Foucault）闡述的人類地理學中的概念，用於描述在非霸權條件下運作的地方和空間。
以上的翻譯沒考慮Heterotopia的字源分析：
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterotopia_(space)
Etymology[edit]
Heterotopia follows the template established by the notions of utopia and dystopia. The prefix hetero- is from Ancient Greek ἕτερος (héteros, "other, another, different") and is combined with the Greek morpheme τόπος ("place") and means "other place". A utopia is an idea or an image that is not real but represents a perfected version of society, such as Thomas More's book or Le Corbusier's drawings. As Walter Russell Mead has written, "Utopia is a place where everything is good; dystopia is a place where everything is bad; heterotopia is where things are different — that is, a collection whose members have few or no intelligible connections with one another."[2]
Foucault uses the term "heterotopia" (French: hétérotopie) to describe spaces that have more layers of meaning or relationships to other places than immediately meet the eye. In general, a heterotopia is a physical representation or approximation of a utopia, or a parallel space (such as a prison) that contains undesirable bodies to make a real utopian space possible.

Op-Ed: Uncle Ray’s Dystopia
Ray Bradbury didn’t just extrapolate the evolution of gadgetry; he foresaw how it would stunt and deform our psyches.
LOS ANGELES — For those who find consolation in visionary architecture, this city has always been a powerful antidepressant. Its wealth of 20th-century treasures, mostly private homes, reminds us that it is possible to find quiet corners of enlightenment in dystopian times.

(the idea of) a perfect society in which everyone works well with each other and is happy

utopian (烏托邦) 的相反字為 dystopian,
歹托邦（dystopia）是烏托邦的反義詞，希臘語的字面意思是“不好的地方”。與理想中那種完美的境域完全相反，歹托邦乃指極端惡劣的社會形態。西方作家創作了很多有關歹托邦的虛構作品，多是描繪反人性的極權政府和高科技畸形發展所導致的生態災難。此類作品的故事背景多設定在未來，旨在警示世人關注現實世界中有關社會制度、環境保護、道德倫理和科學技術方面的問題。1868年，約翰·密爾（John S. Mill）在英國下議院發表演講時首次使用了“歹托邦”一詞，他指責政府的愛爾蘭土地政策說，“把它稱作烏托邦也許過於褒獎，我看稱其為歹托邦才恰如其分。我們常用烏托邦指稱某些太美好而難以實現的事情，但這個現行的政策實在不好，它根本是行不通的。”1

康正果老师把 dystopia 戏译成 “歹托邦”scoundrel/ruffian/rogue/asshole country， 而不是通常流行的“恶托邦”/evil/wicked！ Very politically subversive!
