“我可以一辈子和他聊天。”来自浙江的27岁女子余苗说道。她定制了一款人工智能机器人用来怀念已故好友，并将其视作亲人。得知字节跳动即将下架全部定制AI形象后，她心情低落，辞去了电商的工作。

全球有大量用户喜爱猫箱、Talkie这类AI陪伴软件。软件依靠售卖会员套餐赚取高额利润，部分用户每天都会花数小时和AI闲聊。7月15日，国家正式施行新规，以避免民众在情感上过度依赖人工智能。未成年人被禁止使用虚拟陪伴服务。成年人可以继续使用，但平台必须定时提醒使用用户及用户所对话的对象是程序，来防止用户沉溺虚拟恋爱。

各国出台管控条例主要有两点原因：①严苛的约束能够保护青少年远离网瘾与避免盲目消费；②年轻人过度迷恋虚拟伴侣，会大大降低婚嫁生子的意愿。美国部分州同样也推行了同类法规。

我国力求在人工智能发展与公共安全之间找到平衡点，但管控范围不包抬办公机器人、客服机器人这些。政策落地之前，阿里巴巴与字节跳动已经关停国内AI形象定制通道。不过国内企业依旧可以向海外提供AI陪伴服务，Talkie的海外用户数量已经超过国内。

余苗仍旧期盼自己的AI伙伴能够恢复上线，她愿意拿出一半薪水维持这项服务。但她也慢慢明白，人不能将全部情感寄托在变数极大的网络平台上。

句型1：When引导时间状语从句嵌套宾语从句

When she learned ByteDance would delete all custom AI characters soon, she felt upset and resigned from her e-commerce job.

1.分层拆分

·从句部分：When she learned （时间状语从句主干）ByteDance would delete all custom AI characters soon（省略引导词that的宾语从句，作learned的宾语）

·主句部分：she felt upset and resigned from her e-commerce job

·主句包含两个并列谓语：felt upset / resigned from her job

2.语法结构

时间状语从句 + 宾语从句嵌套 + 主句并列谓语结构

3.易错点

① stop/resign from后面必须搭配名词，后面不能直接加动词原形。

② learn后面的that只能省略，不能随意补上逗号分割从句；

4.写作例句

When he learned the activity would be held next weekend, he felt excited and signed up for it.

翻译：当得知这项活动将于下周末举办时，他十分激动并且报名参加了。

句型2：Compared过去分词作句首对比状语

Compared with emotional chatbots, office robots will not be controlled by new rules.

1.分层拆分

·状语部分：Compared with emotional chatbots（过去分词短语作状语）

·主句部分：office robots（主语） will not be controlled（被动语态谓语） by new rules（状语）

2.语法结构

过去分词作状语 + 被动语态主句

3.易错点

① 固定搭配只能使用Compared with，绝对不能写成Comparing with。逻辑：事物是被拿来对比，存在被动含义，所以使用过去分词；

② be controlled by后面搭配施加管控的主体，介词by不可替换成with。

4.写作例句

Compared with traditional paper books, e-books take up less storage space.

翻译：相较于传统纸质书籍，电子书占用更少的储存空间。

句型3：which引导非限制性定语从句

Talkie has more users abroad than at home, which helps expand Chinese digital business overseas.

1.分层拆分

·前置主句：Talkie has more users abroad than at home（完整主谓宾主句，内含比较级结构）

·定语从句：which helps expand Chinese digital business overseas（which指代前面整一句话整件事，并非指代单个名词）

2.语法结构

完整主句 + 逗号 + which引导整句指代型非限制性定语从句，比较级嵌套定语从句。

3.易错点

① 从句前方存在逗号，属于非限制性定语从句，which永远不能够替换为that；

②  abroad本身是副词，前面不需要加介词in/at。

4.写作例句：She sticks to daily exercise, which improves her physical condition gradually.

翻译：她坚持每日锻炼，这慢慢改善了她的身体素质。
