But first,

I have a question for you, Beth.

貝絲，我有一個問題要問妳。

In the UK,

在英國，

lots of people enjoy watching fictional detectives on TV.

In 2020,

在 2020 年，

That's the question listener Alastair had for the BBC Radio 4 program

because he's a police officer with a background in investigations. 片語搭配

If you have a background in something,

如果你有某方面的背景（background），

But AI could mean that patterns in finger marks or footwear marks

但人工智慧可能意味著指紋或鞋印的模式

are useful in solving crimes again.

在破案中再次發揮作用。

This is because AI can be used to compare a picture of a mark with a database of pictures from other crimes 文法

這是因為人工智慧可以用來將痕跡的圖片與其他犯罪圖片的資料庫進行比較，

and get real-time insight.

並獲得即時洞察。

形容詞即時（real-time）意味著資訊在發生的同時被呈現。
