THE INTRODUCTION

序文

Nature (the art whereby God hath made and governes the world) is by the art of man, as in many other things, so in this also imitated, that it can make an Artificial Animal.

自然(神が世界を創り支配する技術)は、人間の技術によって、他の多くのことと同様に、この点においても模倣されており、人工的な動物を作ることができる。

For seeing life is but a motion of Limbs, the begining whereof is in some principall part within; why may we not say, that all Automata (Engines that move themselves by springs and wheeles as doth a watch) have an artificiall life?

なぜなら、生命とは四肢の運動に過ぎず、その始まりは内部のある主要な部分にあるのだから、すべての自動機械(時計のようにぜんまいと歯車によって自ら動く機械)が人工的な生命を持つと言えないだろうか。

For what is the Heart, but a Spring; and the Nerves, but so many Strings; and the Joynts, but so many Wheeles, giving motion to the whole Body, such as was intended by the Artificer?

なぜなら、心臓はぜんまいに他ならず、神経は無数の糸に他ならず、関節は無数の歯車に他ならず、それらが造物主の意図した通りに身体全体に運動を与えているのではないか。

Art goes yet further, imitating that Rationall and most excellent worke of Nature, Man.

技術はさらに進み、自然の最も理性的で卓越した作品である人間を模倣する。
