2b
Do You Think You Will Have
Your Own Robot
When we watch movies about the future,
we sometimes see robots. They are usually
like human servants. They help with the
housework and do jobs like working in dirty
or dangerous places.
2.Today there are already robots working in
factories. Some can help to build cars, and
they do simple jobs over and over again. Fewer
people will do such jobs in the future because
they are boring, but robots will never get bored.
Scientists are now trying to make robots look like humans and do the same things as we do. Some robots in Japan can walk and dance.
They are fun to watch. However, some
scientists believe that although we can make robots move like people, it will be difficult to make them really think like a human. For example, scientist James White thinks that robots will never be able to wake up and know
3.
where they are. But many scientists disagree with Mr. White. They think that robots will even be able to talk like humans in 25 to 50 years.
Some scientists believe that there will be more robots in the future. However, they agree it may take hundreds of years.
These new robots will have many different shapes. Some will look like humans, and others might look like animals. In India, for example, scientists made robots that
4.
look like snakes. If buildings
fall down with people inside,
these snake robots can help
look for people under the
buildings. This was not
possible 20 years ago, but computers and rockets also seemed impossible 100 years ago. We never know what will happen in the future!
翻译短语
science fiction

1.科幻小说
2.帮忙做家务
3.花费好几百年的时间
4.看起来像
5.让机器人走路或跳舞
6.和人一样做相同的事
for example

2. Which country has robots that can walk

3. Where are the huge arm robots working now
Robots.
Japan.
In factories.
Read and answer the questions.
4. What does James White think
5. What kind of job can a snake robot do
He thinks that robots will never be able to
wake up and know where they are.
After an earthquake, it could help look for
people under buildings.
Explanation
…and they do simple jobs over and over again.
……并且他们反复的干着简单的工作
over and over again是固定搭配，译为：反复
的；多次”， 还可以说 over and over。例如：
They sang the song over and over.
他们反复的唱着那首歌。
They call over and over again but nobody
answered. 他多次打电话，但没人接。
2. Fewer people will do such jobs in the future
because they are boring, but robots will never
get bored.
此句中的get bored 译为“ 感到厌烦，感到无
聊”。其同义词为：be bored 二者的区别在于：
get bored（强调动作） be bored （强调状态）
英语中有很多过去分词或形容词都可以和get,
be 连用。比如：tired，angry 等。例如：
You won't be bored when you are hungry.
当你饿的时候你就不会觉得无聊了。
If you do the same things month after month, you may get bored.
如果你每月都做同样的事情，你可能会感到厌烦。
3. Some robots are very human-like.
一些机器人十分像真人。
在human-like （形似真人的；真人一样的）
一词中，-like 为形容词后缀，用在名词之后，与其构成一个完整的形容词，表示“ 形似……的；像……一样的；类似于…..的”。
又如： a bird-like building （像鸟一样的建筑）
a cabbage-like vegetable（一种形似卷心菜的蔬菜），the ball-like thing on the top of the building（楼顶上那个像球一样的东西。）
4. It will be difficult to make them really think
like a human.
把机器人做的像人一样思考将会很难。
通常用it 做形式主语，将不定式和动名词置
于谓语后面，特别是主语较长时，或在一些
习惯用法中。当谓语是系表结构（be + 形容
词/ 名词）时，常将不定式后置，构成句型
“it + be + 表语（形容词 / 名词）+ 不定式”。
e.g. It is not an easy thing to master a foreign
language. 掌握一门外语不是件容易的事
5. Scientist James White thinks that robots will never be able to wake up.
Be able to “能够…..”
can vs be able to
相同点: 两者都表示能力
不同点:
can只有现在式和过去式。
be able to可用于现在时、过去时和将来时, 但它没有进行时。
3) 表示经过努力而成功的某一次动作, 只能用
be able to.
试做以下试题:
①He ____________ drive a car.
②He ____________climb over the mountain before.
can
was able to
6. But many scientists disagree with Mr. White.
但很多科学家不赞同怀特先生的观点。
这里的“disagree with ”译为 不同意；不一
致；不适合 。
固定搭配：
agree （同意）
agree with sb/sth
disagree （同意）
disagree with sb/sth
e.g. They disagreed with each other about the
time and place of the accident.
他们在对事故发生的时间和地点彼此有
分歧。
I strongly disagree with his views.
我强烈反对他的见解。
I disagree completely with Jack.
我完全不同意杰克的意见。
7.If buildings fall down with people inside,
these snake robots can help look for people
under the buildings.
如果建筑物倒塌，人还在里面，这些蛇形
机器人可以帮助在坍塌的建筑物里搜救伤者。
fall down 的意思如下：
1）掉下，落下，跌倒：
The old lady fell down in the street and broke her leg.
老妇跌倒在大街上，摔坏了腿。
2）拜倒，跪倒：
They fell down before him.
他们拜倒在他面前。
3）倒塌：
The old house soon fell down.
这座老房很快就倒塌了。
8. So I’ll probably just keep a bird.
keep: v. “保持; 维持; 喂养”
1) keep + sb. / sth. +形容词 “使某人/某物……”
e.g. The job kept them busy for a year.
2) keep +形容词 “保持”
e.g. The man ran up and down to keep warm.
3) keep + sb. / sth. doing “让某人/某物继续做某事”
e.g. She kept us waiting for her at the station for an hour.
4) keep + doing “继续做, 坚持做”
e.g. He kept running after her, trying to catch her.
9. I will live on a space station.
space 空间, 空处 (可数)
e.g. There is a space of 46 inches wide
between the two bookcases.
The road is bad for a space of two miles.
We need more space to set up it.
Is there any space left 还有地方吗
