Summary
Language Points
Today there are already robots working in factories.
现在已经有机器人在工厂里干活了。
此句中working in factories 的逻辑主语是robots，但是在这个
there be 句型中，谓语动词已经有了are，所以work就不能再作
本句的谓语动词，而应用-ing形式。这一点在学习和使用there be
句型时需要特别注意。又如：
There are many boys playing basketball on the playground.
There is no saying what will happen.
很难说会发生什么。
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（一座像鸟一样的建筑物），
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）
But many scientists disagree with Mr.White.
但是很多科学家不同意怀特先生的观点。
disagree (V) 不同意；不赞同。其反义词是agree, dis否定词前缀，类似的单词还有dislike(不喜欢), discovery(发现), disapear(消失).
disagree的常见用法
(1) disgree with sb 不同意；不一致
Eg: I disgree with you.我不同意你的观点。
(2) disgree on sth 不同意；不一致;不能达成共识
Eg: We disagreed on which a movie to see.
同样的agree也有agree with sb和agree on sth的用法
disagreement(n)
agreement(n)
...and rockets also seems impossible 100 years ago.
.......火箭似乎在100年前也是不可能的。
seem(v) 似乎；好像
(1) 主语+seem(to be)+表语(多为形容词), 说明主语的状态或者特征
Eg: Tom seems (to be) a very clever boy.
汤姆看上去似乎是一个非常聪明的男孩。
The man over there seems to be a new teacher.
那边那个人似乎是一个新老师。
(2) It seems +that从句
Eg: It seems that no one knows what happened just now.
似乎没人知道刚刚发生了什么。
Eg: It seems that Mr. Brown won't come again.
似乎布朗先生不会再回来了。
