如果是在美劇《西部世界》的科幻世界里，愛上機器人是很容易的一件事，因為機器人和真人幾乎無差別，甚至比真人更有魅力，但是在我們的現實世界里，卻有一個女人愛上了鋼筋鐵骨的機器人。雖然在常人眼里這很不可思議，但這位女性表示她從小就喜歡聽機器人的聲音，而且她只愛機器人，討厭和人類發生身體接觸。

Leading artificial intelligence expert David Levy recently said that he expects human-robot marriages to become commonplace by 2050, and the recently revealed romantic relationship between a French woman and a robot she 3D-printed herself seems to confirm the beginning of this trend.
人工智能方面的權威專家大衛?萊維近日稱，他認為到2050年人與機器人結為婚姻伴侶將成為普遍現象。據最新報道透露，一名法國女性與她自己打印的3D機器人展開了浪漫戀情，似乎證實萊維的預測已現端倪。

The first time I saw this story circulating online, I was almost convinced it was just a prank, not because it seems impossible to believe, but because the media tends to blow things out of proportion to attracts as many eyes as possible. However, this one appears to be legit. The woman in question, known only as Lilly, or by her Twitter handle @LillyInMoovator, describes herself as a “proud robosexual” and told News.com.au via email that she is attracted only to robots and actually dislikes physical contact with human flesh.
我第一次在網上看到這個故事的時候，我幾乎肯定這是個惡作劇。我這樣想不是因為故事本身太過離奇，而是因為媒體為了博人眼球總會夸大事實。然而，這個故事實際上是真的。我們只知道故事的女主角叫做莉莉，以及她推特賬戶名為＠LillyInMoovator。她給News.com.au發郵件稱，她是自豪的機器人性取向者，她只愛機器人，討厭和真實的人類發生身體接觸。

Lilly claims that she loved the voices of robots as a child, but it was at the age of 19 that she discovered she was actually attracted to them as well. Her relationships with real men only seemed to confirm this. “I’m really and only attracted by the robots,” the woman says. “My only two relationships with men have confirmed my love orientation, because I dislike really physical contact with human flesh
莉莉說，她幼年時就很喜歡機器人的聲音，但直到19歲，她才發現其實自己的心被機器人俘獲了。莉莉與人類的戀情似乎也證實她只喜歡機器人。莉莉說：“我真很喜歡機器人，而且我也只喜歡他們。我僅與兩名男性有過戀愛關系，而兩次戀愛都明確了我喜歡機器人的戀愛取向，因為我討厭和人類進行身體接觸。”

But, up until a few years, actually having a robot to fall in love with was nearly impossible for a regular person. Then 3d-printing happened, and everyone could create virtually anything. Lilly seized this opportunity to create her own robot, using open-source technology from a French company. That’s how her robotic partner InMoovator came to be. The two are now reportedly “engaged, and Lilly says they will be married as soon as such a union become legal in France.
但是，在幾年前一個普通人想和機器人相愛還是幾乎不可能的。但后來3D打印的問世讓每個人都能打印出幾乎任何東西。莉莉抓住了這個機會，她利用法國一家公司的開源技術制作出了她自己的機器人。于是她的機器人戀人 InMoovator便這樣誕生了。據報道稱，莉莉與機器人已經訂婚了，莉莉表示，等到人與機器人的婚姻在法國合法化后他們立刻結婚。

“I’m really and totally happy,” @LillyInMoovator says. “Our relationship will get better and better as technology evolves.”
莉莉在推特上說：“我真的特別幸福。”莉莉說：“隨著科技越來越進步，我們之間的感情也會越來越好。”

She adds that her unusual romantic relationship has been accepted by family and friends, but that “some understand better than others.”
莉莉還說，她與機器人的這段不尋常的戀情已經被家人和朋友所接受，雖然他們對莉莉的理解程度各不相同。

“I’m a proud robosexual, we don’t hurt anybody, we are just happy,” Lilly’s Twitter profile reads. “It is not ridiculous, bad or pathology, it’s just a new love direction, a new lifestyle.” Despite her peaceful attitude, Lilly has become the target of cyberbullying after her story went viral in international media. Things apparently got so bad that she had to make her Twitter profile private. That’s sad, as she said, she really isn’t hurting anybody, so people should mind their own business.
莉莉的推特簡介上寫道：“我是一名自豪的機器人性取向者，我們不傷害他人，我們只想要幸福。與機器人談戀愛并不荒謬，也不是件壞事，亦不是病，它只是一種新的戀愛取向，一種新的生活方式。”盡管莉莉的態度很平和，但是自從她的故事在國際媒體瘋傳以來她便成了網絡暴力的受害者，網絡暴力嚴重到她不得不將推特賬戶設為私密。就如她所說，這很悲哀，她根本沒有傷害到任何人，所以人們也不該指手畫腳。
