The Formation Mechanism of η Carinae’s Homunculus Nebula

船底座eta星矮人星云的形成机制

||1: Those who insist Deep Blue and Mr Kasparov’s mind must surely be substantially different will balk at this. They may well be right. ||2: But the burden of proof, Mr Dennett argues, is on them, for they are in effect claiming that the human mind is made up of “wonder tissue” with miraculous, mind-moulding properties that are, even in principle, beyond the reach of science—an old-fashioned homunculus in all but name.

||1:读到此处，那些坚持“深蓝”与卡斯帕罗夫的心灵一定是由不同物质构成的人定会咆哮不已。他们也许是对的。||2:但是，丹内特指出，如果如此的话，那么证明这一理论的重担就落在了这些人的身上。这是因为，他们的观点实际上是在宣称，人类心灵是由具有不可思议的、能够影响心灵的性能的“非同一般的组织”所组成的。但是，从理论上来说，这些组织已经超出了科学的认知范畴—实际上，它们不过是一种已经过时的侏儒而已。

||1:As an example, take the human mind.||2:The time-honoured idea that the mind is essentially a little man, or homunculus , who sits in the brain doing clever things soon becomes problematic: who does all the clever things in the little man’s brain.||3:But Mr Dennett offers a way out of this infinite regress.||4:Instead of a little man, what if the brain was a hierarchical system.

||1:下面，就让我们以“人类的心灵”为例来介绍一下丹尼特的“直觉泵”理论。||2:传统的观点认为，从本质上说，心灵是一个住在人类大脑里从事智力活动小人，或者侏儒。||3:不过，在丹尼特看来这种观点是站不住脚的：既然如此，那么，住在这个侏儒的大脑中，从事智力活动的人又是谁呢？对此，丹内特提供了一种走出此类无限回归的方法。||4:在他看来，如果大脑不是一个侏儒，而是一个分级系统，情况会如何呢。

Microsoft, though a titan in personal-computer software, is a homunculus in mobile devices. Nokia’s market share in America, where new smartphones are due to go on sale next year, has all but vanished.

尽管微软是个人电脑方面的巨头，在移动设备方面却相对弱势，而且诺记在美国---也就是明年两部新机要上市地区的市场份额已经消失殆尽。

Singer is right, he says, that there is no homunculus in the brain, making our decisions for us.

他认为，辛格说我们没有一个脑中小人为我们做决定，这没有错。

and ’homunculus country’ teacher group being shaped.

Until recently, the position of female genitalia on the homunculus had only been guessed at.
