“賢二機(jī)器僧”在廣東省省會城市廣州的廣州動漫節(jié)上首次正式亮相(2015年10月3日，圖片來自新華網(wǎng))

Standing about 60-cm-tall and dressed in a yellow rob, Xian’er, a cute-looking robot that resembles a Buddhist monk, has become an internet celebrity as it is able to sense its surroundings and answer questions about Buddhism at Beijing’s Longquan Temple.

賢二身高約60厘米，身著黃色羅布僧袍，像個(gè)和尚，看起來十分可愛。在北京龍泉寺，因?yàn)樗�能感知他周圍的環(huán)境并且回答與佛教有關(guān)的問題，迅速在網(wǎng)上走紅。

"Who are you?" "How old are you?" Let me ask my master"..., the chatty robot can answer simple questions and interact with the surroundings, and also chant and play Buddhist music, the Beijing News reported on Thursday.

“你是誰?”“你多大了?” “讓我問問我的主人”……，據(jù)星期四《新京報(bào)》的報(bào)道稱，這個(gè)會聊天的機(jī)器人可以回答一些簡單的問題，并且和周遭環(huán)境互相影響，還能吟唱和演奏佛教音樂。

The cute pudgy monk, developed by Longquan Temple in October last year, is the protagonist of cartoon series "Trouble, you seek for yourself" published by the Temple.

這個(gè)可愛的胖和尚是在去年十月由龍泉寺研發(fā)出來，人物原型是由龍泉寺出版的動漫書《麻煩都是自找的》里的主人公。

"We just want to take a modern approach to promote Buddhism," said Master Xianfan, the creator of the cartoon novice monk

“我們只是想采取一種現(xiàn)代化的方式來傳播佛法”，這個(gè)卡通小和尚的原型創(chuàng)作者賢帆法師說到。

"To differentiate from the cartoon images from Japan and Western countries, we used the traditional Chinese painting as the cultural symbol," Xianfan said.

“為了與日本和西方國家的卡通形象相區(qū)別，我們采用傳統(tǒng)的國畫手法作為文化的象征”，賢帆法師說到。

The robot is so cute that many visitors want to buy one, but Xianfan said there is only one such robot monk there and the temple has no plans to commercialize it.

因?yàn)檫@個(gè)機(jī)器人實(shí)在太呆萌了，好多參觀的游客都想買一個(gè)，但是賢帆法師說這樣的機(jī)器人只有一個(gè)，而且寺廟沒有將其商業(yè)化的打算。

In order to better promote Buddhism among the growing number of tech-savvy young Chinese, Longquan Temple has launched various new ways to combine traditional Buddhism with modern technologies.

中國精通科技的年輕人越來越多，為了將更好地向他們傳播佛法，龍泉寺已經(jīng)開始著手進(jìn)行各種新項(xiàng)目將傳統(tǒng)的佛教與現(xiàn)代科技相結(jié)合。

Comic books, animation, music video, micro films, also virtual reality, which features the cartoon character Xian’er, are all used by the animation group to disperse Buddhist wisdom to more people.

動漫組還通過所有以卡通人物“賢二”為主角的漫畫書、動漫、音樂視頻、微電影，還有虛擬現(xiàn)實(shí)技術(shù)向更多的人民大眾傳布佛教智慧。

According to the report, Xian’er even has its own account on Weibo, and messaging app Wechat, to interact with its fans through simple conversations.

據(jù)報(bào)道，“賢二”甚至還有它自己的微博和微信賬號，可以通過它們進(jìn)行一些簡單的交流和粉絲互動。

"Xian’er is the first generation of robot monk," Xianfan said. "We are planning the development of second generation of robot monk, which will be more intelligent," he added.

“賢二是第一代機(jī)器僧，”賢帆法師說，“我們正在計(jì)劃第二代機(jī)器僧的研發(fā)，它將更加智能”他補(bǔ)充說到。
