Star Trek Next Generation Season 1 Episode 12 "DataLore," towards the end of this episode:
Captain Jean-luc Picard: "No. One, have you ever considered Data is more human or less human than we want?"
Commander William T. Riker: "I only wish we are all as well-balanced, Sir."
This quest is for my own amusement. I am writing a blog and want to quote this conversation in Chinese. I'm not so sure how to translate "I only wish we are all as well-balanced." "As well" as what?
翻译成 ”我只希望我们都可以如此平衡“？ 感谢各位译友的指点 🙏

（像Data）平衡得一样好
My 2 cents: They are talking about Data's balance between human and machine. William thinks that Data has a perfect balance and wish they are all as balanced as Data is.
Note from asker:
| Thanks Patrick. You made a great piont that Riker answered Picard's question indirectly, that is Data is well-balanced. I'm still not sure about what kind of balance he refers to for "we all." Perhaps human nature? We are too human for our own good? Perhaps we can add some machineness to our humanity? |

很好的平衡
这里的as well-blanced用法类似as built，解释起来很抽象。这里和as well以及as well as无关。
I only wish we are all as well-balanced大意如下：
我只希望，我们所想要的和Data之间，能够得到很好的平衡就好了。
（言外之意是，data less human 或more human都不好）
I only wish we are all as well-balanced大意如下：
