答案
以光一般的速度处理千百万信息的电子计算机已给亚里士多德关于机器可以解放人力的构想赋予了现代意义。他曾说:"当织布机自己织布的时候,人类的奴役将告终"。
解析
此句是一个简单句。句子的主干部分是The electronic computer....has given contemporary meaning to Aristotle’s vision…;of后面的成分作宾语vision的补足语,引号里的内容也是vision的补足语。句中facts意为"信息";vision本意为"幻想,想象",这时译作"构想";loom意为"织布机"。在翻译方法上,此句主要采用了"分译法"和"增译法",为使译文易于表达,将这个长句分为两句来译,把引号里的内容分译为一句;为使结构紧凑,在译分词短语时,加译了"以…一般的",the liberating possibilities of machines也增译为"机器可以解放人力"。
