I think maybe the game ended.

Google's AlphaGo computer software beat its human opponent on Wednesday in the first of a historic five-game match between human and computer at the ancient Chinese board game of Go. The software took on South Korean Go champion Lee Sedol, who has won 18 world championships since becoming a professional Go player at the age of 12. The contest was reminiscent of the 1997 chess match, in which IBM's Deep Blue supercomputer beat then world chess champion Garry Kasparov.
Google 的 AlphaGo 电脑软件在星期三击败人类对手，赢得人类和电脑在古老中国桌游“围棋”历史性五战对抗赛首场的胜利。AlphaGo 软件对上南韩围棋冠军李世石，他自十二岁成为职业棋手后得过十八次世界冠军。这次比赛令人想到 1997 年的西洋棋对抗，那场比赛中IBM的超级电脑“深蓝”打败当时的世界西洋棋棋王Garry Kasparov。

Since then, the really big remaining, sort of, Holy Grail, if you like, has been Go. In chess, the number of possible moves is about 20 for the average position, and Go is about 200.
自那时起，真正剩下的伟大，如果你要这样说的话，有点像是圣杯，就是围棋了。在西洋棋中，平均位置的可能下法大概是二十种，而围棋却是有大概两百种。
Both human and computer made some mistakes throughout the game, which lasted over three hours. Sedol said, "A mistake I made at the very beginning lasted until the very last."
人类和电脑在整场比赛中都有一些失误，比赛整整持续超过三小时。李世石说：“我在比赛最初犯下的一个错误持续影响到最后。”

We have an estimate of how strong a program is. Of course you never know when you play a human player, they do all sorts of very interesting, creative things that your program's not necessarily do. So there's always an unknown.
我们对程式的能力有一个预估。当然你在和人类选手对抗时永远猜不透，人类会做出各种非常有趣、富创意的事情，那是你的程式不见得做得出来的。所以总是有未知数。
The victory is considered a breakthrough for artificial intelligence, showing the program, developed by Google DeepMind, has mastered one of the most creative and complex games ever devised. This is not the first time that the software has won at Go. In January, AlphaGo was pitched against European champion Fan Hui in a closed-door match. AlphaGo won all five rounds. The remaining four matches will be played by Tuesday.
这场胜利被视为人工智慧的突破，显示出由 Google DeepMind 研发的程式已经掌握了史上最具巧思且复杂的游戏之一。这并非 AlphaGo 第一次在围棋比赛获胜。一月时，AlphaGo 和欧洲围棋冠军樊麾在一场闭门比赛中对弈。AlphaGo 五场全胜。剩下的四场对战会在周二前进行。
