Living with a robot

丹尼尔对机器人很感兴趣。他在本月的《机器人》杂志上发现了一个有趣的故事。这是这个故事。

The home robot

家庭机器人

Mr Jiang is a manager of a big company in Sunshine Town He is always too busy to have any time to relax “I have to buy a robot so that I can have more free time” Mr Jiang thought. So he ordered one from a robot shop. The robot made Mr Jiang’s life much easier. When he got up in the morning．breakfast was made，his business suit was smoothly ironed，and his lunch box was already prepared. That made him very happy.江先生是阳光镇一家大公司的经理。他总是太忙没有时间放松。“我必须买个机器人，这样我就能有更多的空闲时间了，”江先生想。因此他从机器人商店订购了一个机器人。那个机器人让江先生的生活轻松多了。当他早上起床时，早饭做好了。商务套装熨烫得很平整，午餐盒也已经准备好了。那让他很高兴。

While Mr Jiang was at work，the robot would do all the housework. It would go shopping at the supermarket as well.当江先生在工作时，那个机器人会做所有的家务。它也会去超市购物。

When Mr Jiang returned home from work，his flat would look as good as new，and a delicious dinner would be ready for him. After clinner，the robot would tidy up.That allowed Mr Jiang to do whatever he liked. He would watch TV or do some reading.当江先生下班回家时，他的公寓看起来会像新的一样好，并且美味的晚餐也会为他准备好。晚餐后，机器人会收拾干净。那使江先生可以做他喜欢做的一切事。他会看电视或者读书。

It seemed that in general the robot satisfied Mr Jiang’s needs.看来，这个机器人大体上满足了江先生的需求。

After a few comfortable weeks，however，things star ted to go wrong.@ The robot caught a virus and no longer worked properly，It began to make stupid mistakes.Sometimes it woke Mr Jiang up at four o’clock in the morning.When Mr Jiang got home, he would find his flat in a complete mess, food was laid on the bed；milk was stored in the rubbish bin；coins,bills and his private papers were spread all over the floor.Moreover,the robot moved too fast on its wheels and often knocked things over.Mr Jiang did not know what to do with it．然而，几周舒适的生活之后，情况开始不对了。机器人感染了病毒，不再正常地工作了。它开始犯愚蠢的错误。有时它在早上4点钟叫醒江先生。当江先生回到家，他会发现公寓里乱作一团：食物被放在床上，牛奶被储存在垃圾桶里，硬币、账单和他的私人文件撒得满地都是。此外，机器人的轮子移动得大快，经常撞翻东西。江先生不知道怎么处理它。

In the end,Mr Jiang decided to return the robot to the robot shop.Robots can help people a lot,but they can also be too much trouble!最后，江先生决定把机器人退回机器人商店。机器人能帮助人们很多，但是它们也有太多的麻烦！

【拓展】no more与not …any

more二者都表示“不再”，“再没有”的含义。

（1）谈数量或程度时，要用no more。例如：There is no more bread. 没有面包了。（指数量）He’s no more genius than I am. 他和我都不是天才。（指程度）

（2）complaint是complain的名词形式，可作可数名词也可作不可数名词。

1）作可数名词，意为“不满的理由或原因”。例如：The workers make a list of their complaints. 工人们列表举出不满的理由。

2）作不可数名词，意为“抱怨（指行为）”。

例如：If your neighbors are too noisy, then you have cause for complaint.如果你的邻居太吵，你就有理由抱怨。

4.in the future

in the future意为“在将来，在未来”。通常指将来的某一段时间，常用于将来时态。例如：We will have a robot in the future. 将来我们会有一个机器人。

【拓展】in future 表示“今后，以后”，一般指从现在开始往后的时间，常指离现在较近的一段将来的时间；多用在表示提醒或者警告的句子中。

例如：Don’t be late in future. 今后不要迟到了。You’d better not go out alone in future. 今后最好别单独外出。

5.go wrong

go wrong意为“走错路，发生故障”。例如：

例如：What’s the matter with you? = What’s wrong with you? 你怎么了？—What’s wrong / What’s the matter with your leg? 你的腿怎么了？—Nothing. 没什么。

6.at work

at work的意思是“在工作”。at是介词，表示人和事物的状态。work作“工作”解时，是不可数名词。此外，在短语前，往往带be动词，即be at work。

例如：—Where is your father?你父亲在哪儿？—He’s at work.他在上班Is your mother at work now ? 你母亲现在在上班吗？

【拓展】类似的短语还有：be at home 在家be at school 在上学be at work = be working 在工作，在上班7. Need

例如：Thankyou for your gift—it will always remind me of you.谢谢你的礼物——它总会让我想起你的。

Don’t forget to remind him of the meeting.不要忘记提醒他那个会议。

句式精讲

1.Mr. Jiang did not know what to do with it.

do with 与what 连用，表示“对待、处理”，表示“怎样处理某事”要说what… do with…，不说“how… do with…”。例如：I don’t know what to do with the rubbish.我不知道怎样处理这些垃圾。

What have you done with the milk?你是怎样处理那些牛奶的？

【拓展】what to do with…=how to deal with… 意为“如何处理……”How…deal with…?意为“如何处理……？”与What… do with…？意思同。

例如：I don’t know whatto do with the dog. = I don’t know how to deal with the dog.我不知道如何处理这条狗。

How do you deal withthe problem? 你如何解决这个问题？

2. I have to buy a robot so that I can have more free time.

…so that= in order that的意思是“为了、以致”，它引导目的状语从句和结果状语从句。

They  opened  a  technical  training  course  so  that/in  order  thatthe  managers  and  clerks  could  attend  it during their spare time．他们开了一个技术训练班，为了经理和职员们在业余的时间可以去上课。

I took an early bus so that/in order that I got there in time．我乘了早班公共汽车，及时到了那里。

【拓展】so/such… that…的意思是“如此„„以至于„„”，它引导结果状语从句。其中so后接形容词，such后接名词，that后接从句，在口语中that常被省去。

例如：She felt so sad that tears came to her eyes．她非常悲伤，泪水盈眶。

John was so drunk（that）he could not stand still．约翰醉得站也站不住了。

He spoke at such a rapid speed（that）we could hardly follow him．他说得很快，我们很难听清楚他在说什么。

3. It would go shopping at the supermarket as well.

as well常用作状语, 作“又；也”解, 相当于too或also, 常位于句末, 无须用逗号与句子分开。

例如：She gave me a piece of paper, and a pen as well.她给了我一张纸还有一支钢笔。

【拓展】as well as 用来表示同级比较，指“和„„一样好”。

例如：You can do as well as your father if you work hard.如果你努力的话，你会和你爸爸做的一样好。

4. That allowed Mr. Jiang to do whatever he liked.

allow作动词，意为“允许”。后可接双宾语。常用于以下结构：

（1）allow sb. to do sth.意为“允许某人做某事”，allow doing sth.意为“允许做某事”。；

例如：Allow me to introduce you to our headmaster.请允许我介绍你见见我们的校长。Do they allow smoking in the cinemas?他们允许在电影院里抽烟吗?

（2）allow sb. sth. 意为“给予某人某物(尤指钱或时间)；让某人有(拥用或带有)某物”。例如：The court allowed a sum of money to each child for clothing.法院判给每个孩子一笔服装费。We’ll allow you time to answer. 我们将给你回答的时间。

5. It seems that in general the robot satisfied with Mr. Jiang’s needs.

句型It  seems  that…实质上是“主＋系＋表”结构。其中it是人称代词，并无实意，指的是某种情况，seems为连系动词，that / as if 引导表语从句。It seems that …表示“看起来„„”。强调根据一定的事实所得出的一种接近于实际情况的判断，可以表示事实。（可以转换成“名词或代词＋seem ＋动词不定式”句型，其意不变，如果动词不定式为“to  be ＋形容词”时，to  be往往省略。）It seems that it is more difficult for women to get to the top of the company. 妇女似乎更难提升到公司的最高职位。

It seems that no one knows what has happened in the park. =No one seems to know what has happened in the park.似乎没有人知道在公园里发生了什么事。

It seems tome that he has known everything. =He seems to have known everything. 在我看来他似乎什么事都知道了。
