給你100萬元 你愿意把你的臉賣給機器人嗎？
你可能很難想象，一個機器人頂著一張真人的臉會是什么樣子，但是這個畫面恐怕很快就要成真了，而且你還有機會讓機器人“使用”你的臉。一家機器人公司目前正在征集一張人類面孔，只要你不介意和機器人長得一模一樣，你就可以獲得近百萬元的“賣臉”收入。
If you’re short on cash and don’t mind selling the rights to your face, you can stand to make ￡100,000 by licensing your mug to a robotics company to be used on one of their humanoid robots.
如果你手頭緊，也不介意“賣臉”，你可以凈賺10萬英鎊（約合人民幣91.2萬元），只需要授權機器人公司使用你的面部作為其人形機器人的臉。
According to a recent blog post by London-based outsourcing company Geomiq, a robotics company is currently looking for a “kind and friendly” to put on a humanoid robot once it goes into production. This will potentially entail using this person’s face on thousands of robots around the world, so the company is willing to pay no less than ￡100,000 in licensing fees. The robot in question is designed to be a “virtual friend” for elderly people, and is scheduled to go into production next year.
根據倫敦外包公司Geomiq近期發布的一條帖子，一家機器人公司正在給即將投入生產的人形機器人尋找一張“友善的”臉。這張臉可能會應用到世界各地數以千計的機器人身上，因此該公司愿意支付不少于10萬英鎊的使用費。這款機器人的設計初衷是作為老年人的“虛擬朋友”，并將于明年投入生產。

Although Geomiq is not at liberty to disclose too much information about the robotics company or their current project, due to a non-disclosure agreement they’ve signed with the designer and his investors, but they did reveal that the client is privately-funded and has received investments from several Venture Capitalists as well as a top fund in China.
盡管Geomiq公司因為已經和設計師及其投資人簽訂了保密協議而無權透露太多關于那家機器人公司和正在進行的項目信息，但是他們透露這家公司是私營企業，而且已經收到了來自幾位風險投資家和一家中國頂級基金會的投資。
"We know that this is an extremely unique request, and signing over the licenses to your face is potentially an extremely big decision,” Geomiq stated, adding that interested people can submit a photo of themselves via email.
Geomiq公司稱：“我們知道這是一個非常獨特的請求，簽約‘賣臉’可能是一個極其重大的決定?！痹摴狙a充說，有意“賣臉”的人可以通過電子郵件提交一張自己的照片。
The robotics company has reportedly been working on this particular humanoid robot for five years, and due to the secretive nature of the project, anonymity is of utmost importance. However, candidates with the right kind of face chosen for the “next phase" will be given full details on the project.
據稱，這家機器人公司研發這款特別的人形機器人已有五年，由于這個項目的保密性質，匿名是至關重要的。不過，臉被選中參與“下一階段”項目的人將獲知這一項目的全部細節。
So there you have it, while most sources warn of robots taking our jobs, here’s an example of robotics as an important, if somewhat controversial, source of income.
現在你知道了，盡管很多信息來源都在警告機器人會搶走我們的工作，這里就有一個例子向我們證明，機器人也可以是一個重要的（盡管有爭議性）收入來源。
