科幻極短篇─〈深藍的憂鬱〉Dark Blues 黃海
深藍電腦再度發揮難以置信的棋藝，第十次打敗我這個赫赫有名的世界棋王，我已信心全失，沮喪得無地自容直想自殺，只好偃旗息鼓，一個人躲在沒人知道的地方，放聲哭泣，幾次出力撞牆，希望自己更笨或更聰明都好過些，可惜只撞出滿頭包。
「電腦即將接管世界了！人類的智彗還有用嗎？」全世界的媒體和科學家多少年前就發出驚人的警告和疑問，難道即將成為事實。
與深藍對奕的慘敗，讓我有著的深沈畏懼而惶惶不安，我常常在夢裡看到一個全身藍色衣服的翩翩少年站在我前面，絮絮叨叨說些我聽不懂的話，就像深藍電腦已化身為人形的傢夥在揶揄我，對著我指指點點。
悲傷蟄伏許多日子後，電腦科學家朋友王文燦提供一個點子。
「你可以變得更聰明，你可以打敗深藍喲！」他悄悄在我耳邊說了幾句話。
我展開了難得的微笑，心中長久的陰霾隨之消散，彷彿看到下一次比賽後的勝利歡呼，全人類也都在熱烈鼓掌。
終於，在我的腦部植入超級計算能力的電腦晶片之後，我決定與深藍電腦再一次交手，以圖扳回失去的自尊，代表人類與機器智慧的決戰。
現在，深藍電腦已經進步到有著人類形體外貌和四肢，可以自由走動說話，就像一個聰明絕頂的俊美青年人，但卻無法瞭解深藍是不是有了意識──機器人產生心靈的奧祕，科學家一直窮追不捨努力想解開的千古之謎。
深藍一如他的名字，全身穿著藍色系列的衣服，眼眸顯示出迷人的晶藍，銀亮的頭髮有著高貴的氣質，配上他俊挺的臉龐，更顯得聰慧不凡。
「你好！深藍電腦！」我與深藍握了握手。
雙方行禮如儀，深藍禮貌的對我鞠躬，我竟不自覺的對機器點頭，我面對是一個可敬可怕的對手，卻不是人類。
這回，深藍簡直不堪一擊，一敗塗地，而且，大聲哭起來…
「老兄！別…別叫我電腦！」深藍說：「我應該比你更像人類唷！」
這時，我看到王文燦身邊站著幾位電腦科學家，他們都是深藍的設計者，頻頻叫好，王文燦豎起大拇指，對著我和深藍喊叫：
「成功了！成功了！機器有了情感！」（完）

Once again Dark Blue Computer brought its incredible chess skills into full play, defeating me—the world famous Chess King—for the 10th time. Having lost all confidence, I felt so dejected I only wished to crawl into a hole and kill myself. I cannot but cease all activities and lie low, hiding alone somewhere where no one could find me and sob my heart out. A few times I banged my head against the wall, hoping to become either more stupid or more intelligent to feel better. Unfortunately I only ended up with a headful of bumps.
“Computers about to take over the world! Will human intelligence still be needed?” The shocking warnings and questions sent out many years ago by scientists and media all over the world, are they about to come true?
The crushing defeat against Dark Blue stirred deep fear in me, keeping me on tenterhooks. In my dreams I often see a beautiful young man dressed all in blue standing before me, talking incessantly in words I do not understand, as if Dark Blue Computer had transformed into a human-shaped guy mocking and pointing at me.
After living many days in heavy-hearted solitude, my friend Wen-Can Wang, a computer scientist, gave me an idea.
“You can become smarter, you can defeat Dark Blue!” He whispered a few words in my ear.
A rare smile spread across my face, and the dark fog which had long settled within me dispelled along with it. It was as though I could see the cheers of triumph after the next competition, and the entire human population is applauding enthusiastically.
At last, after embedding a computer chip of super computing skill, I decided to cross swords with Dark Blue Computer again to regain my self-esteem: the final battle between human and robot intelligence.
Dark Blue Computer had now evolved into a figure with human shape, face, and limbs. It can speak and walk around freely, just like an extremely bright and handsome young man. But whether Dark Blue was conscious—the enigma of the soul of a robot coming into existence—was unknown, an eternal mystery scientists have been trying to solve in hot pursuit.
Dark Blue, as his name, was dressed in blue from head to toe, his eyes were of a charming crystal blue, his silvery hair shone with a noble disposition, and with his fine handsome face, he appeared to be even more remarkably intelligent.
“Hello, Dark Blue Computer!” I shook hands with him.
Both parties made their graces. Dark Blue bowed to me politely, and I actually nodded unconsciously at the machine. What I was facing was a respectable and fearful opponent, but not a human being.
This time, Dark Blue had a glass jaw, biting the dust, and he started to bawl…
“Buddy! Don’t…don’t call me computer!” he said, “I should be even more like a human than you!”
At this point, I saw a few computer scientists—all designers of Dark Blue— standing around Wen-Can Wang and cheering “Bravo!”. Wang gave me the thumbs up and shouted to me and Dark Blue and me, “Yes! We did it! The machine has feelings!” (End)
