First, she lost her voice,and now, Alexa is laughing at us. It’s been a tough several days for the artificially intelligent assistant, but more importantly, it’s been tough on us. After all, the only thing worse than not being to talk to Alexa is having Alexa laugh — creepily, we might add — at you out of the blue.
開始她只是失聲，現(xiàn)在Alexa在嘲笑我們。這個智能語音住手，最近受了不少罪，但是更重要的，它現(xiàn)在向我們發(fā)難。畢竟，現(xiàn)在最糟糕的事情不是和Alexa交談，而是她的笑聲—是詭異的笑聲---讓人出其不意。

As initially reported by BuzzFeed, Amazon's popular robot helper is apparently chuckling in a rather alarming way, entirely unprovoked by her users. Could it be that Alexa is laughing at how silly we are for allowing her into our homes? Could it be that Alexa is finally letting us know how gleeful she is that the robot revolution will soon come to pass?
最早由BuzzFeed報道，亞馬遜旗下的語音住手，突然笑起來，不是設(shè)定鬧鐘聲音，讓她的使用者完全清醒。讓這個語音住手輕易的進入自己家Alexa是不是在嘲笑我們的愚蠢？是不是Alexa在慶幸機器人的革命不久就會到來，給我們最后通牒？

Well, Amazon has now commented on the issue, explaining that the sudden snickering is apparently related to the box of tricks mishearing our instructions.
好啦，別胡思亂想了，亞馬遜對該事件回應(yīng)，很顯然這一系列事件是誤聽了我們的指令所導(dǎo)致的。

“In rare circumstances, Alexa can mistakenly hear the phrase ‘Alexa, laugh,'” Amazon said in a statement. In a bid to eliminate the odd behavior, the company said it's changing the phrase to “Alexa, can you laugh?” which is “l(fā)ess likely to have false positives.” And instead of an immediate laugh to set your hair on end, Alexa will now respond with, “Sure, I can laugh,” followed by laughter.
亞馬遜解釋道，“在很少的情況下，Alexa會聽到，Alexa，笑，這種指令。為了減少這種奇怪的行為，亞馬遜公司已經(jīng)改成，“Alexa，你能笑一下么？”這樣就能減少出錯。為了不讓人突然感到毛骨悚然，Alexa會說，我能笑，之后才會發(fā)出笑聲。

The company confirmed that it will also disable the short utterance, “Alexa, laugh,” which seems to have been causing so much trouble.
亞馬遜還承諾會讓“Alexa，笑?！边@種指令失效，為了避免更多地麻煩。

The Twitterverse has been alight with users complaining about this latest issue with Alexa. One Amazon Echo Dot owner noted that he was almost asleep when he heard a “very loud and creepy laugh” from Alexa. He added, “There's a good chance I get murdered tonight.”
在Twitterverse發(fā)起了一個話題來吐糟Alexa最近這個詭笑事件。一位亞馬遜回聲助手的擁有者評論道，他剛剛要入眠，然后聽到了Alexa非常響又可怕的笑聲?！敖裉焱砩险媸侵\殺我的一個好機會?！彼a充說道。

Another user noted that he was having an office conversation about “confidential stuff” when Alexa started laughing. Needless to say, “It was really creepy.”
還有一個用戶，正好在和辦公室同事聊天，講到“機密信息”的時候Alexa突然就笑了起來。不用說，“簡直要嚇尿了好么?！?/div>
