文章翻译如下:
拉里·贝尔蒙特在一家生产机器人的公司 里工作。最近,该公司要对一个家用机器 人进行试验。这项试验将由拉里的夫人克 莱尔来尝试。 克莱尔并不想把机器人留在家里,特别是 在她丈夫离家三周的这个期间。但是克莱 尔被拉里说服了。他说,机器人不会伤害 她,也不会让别人来伤害她。
这样会是 个意外的收获。然而她初次见到机器人的 时候就感到有点儿吃惊。机器人名叫托尼 ,看上去更像一个人,而不像台机器。他 虽然面部表情毫无变化,但是个子高大、 相貌英俊,二头发平整,声音低沉浑厚。
第二天早晨,托尼戴着围裙,给她端来了 早餐,然后问她是否需要帮忙穿衣打扮。 她感到有点儿不好意思,很快就打发他走 了。机器人如此通人性,这使她觉得心烦 和害怕。 有一天,克莱尔说起,她觉得她自己并不 聪明。托尼则说,克莱尔一定是很不高兴 ,才会说出这样的话来。克莱尔觉得,机 器人会向她表示同情,这有点荒唐可笑。 但是她开始信任托尼了。
她告诉托尼她太 胖了,这让她很不高兴。还有对于像拉里 这样很想提高社会地位的人来说,她的家 也不够高雅。她跟格拉迪斯’克拉芬不一 样,格拉迪斯是远近闻名的有钱有势的女 人。
托尼为让克莱尔高兴,答应帮助她,使她 变得漂亮,使她的家变得高雅大方。于是 克莱尔从图书馆借来一堆书给托尼阅读, 或者说给他浏览一下。她惊奇地看着他的 手指翻动着书页,忍不住突然伸出手来摸 他的手指。他的手指甲和他那柔软温暖的 皮肤使她感到大为惊异。
她在想,这是多 么可笑啊,他只不过是一台机器呀! 托尼给克莱尔换了个发型,又改变了化妆 风格。因为不允许托尼陪克莱尔去商店, 所以托尼就给她写了一份购物清单。
克莱 尔进城去买了窗帘、坐垫、地毯和床上用 品。然后她去了一家珠宝店买项链。柜台 售货员对她很粗鲁,她就打电话给托尼, 让售货员同托尼讲话。
售货员马上就改变 了态度。克莱尔对托尼表示感谢,并说他 是个“可爱的人”。她刚一转过身去,就看 到格拉迪斯_·克拉芬站在那儿。克莱尔想 ,被格拉迪斯发现了1,这多么难为情啊! 从格拉迪斯脸上的那种有趣而又惊奇的神 色来看,克莱尔知道,格拉迪斯认为她有 风流韵事了:毕竟格拉迪斯知道她的丈夫 是拉里,而不是托尼。 克莱尔回到家里,坐在扶手椅上气得直哭 。
格拉迪斯的一举一动都是克莱尔想模仿 的。托尼告诉克莱尔说,你可以同格拉迪 斯一样,.还建议克莱尔邀请格拉迪斯和 她的朋友到家里来玩,时间就定在托尼离 去和拉里回家之前的那个晚上。托尼想在 此之前将房子改装得焕然一新。 托尼有条不紊地搞着装修。克莱尔有一次 想来帮忙,但是太笨手笨脚了,竞从梯子 上掉了下来。尽管托尼当时在隔壁房间里 ,他还是及时赶过来把她接住了。他把她 紧紧地搂在怀里,她感觉到了他身上有股 暖气。她尖叫了起来,把他推开,跑回她 的房里,那天她就再也没有出来过。
聚会的那天晚上来到了。时钟敲响八点, 客人马上就要到来了。克莱尔叫托尼到另 一间房里去。就在那一瞬间,托尼弯曲胳 膊搂着她,弯下身去把脸贴近她的脸。她 大叫一声“托尼”,然后听到托尼一本正经 地说,明天他不想离开她,而且他并不满 足于仅仅使她开心。就在这时,前门的门 铃响了。托尼放开了她,消失得无影无踪 了。
也就在这时候,克莱尔才意识到托尼 早就把前边窗户的窗帘拉开了。她的客人 把这一切看得一清二楚。 克莱尔和她的房子、美食给女士们留下了 深刻的印象。就在他们离开之前,克莱尔 听到格拉迪斯跟另外一个女人小声地说, 她从来没有见过像托尼这样英俊的男人。 受到那些女士的妒忌,这该是多么甜美的 胜利!克莱尔也许并没有她们那样漂亮, 但是他们中没有任何一个人拥有这样英俊 的情人。 这时候,她记起来了——托尼只不过是一 台机器。
她高声嚷着:“让我独自呆一会 儿!”就跑上床,哭了一个通宵。第二天早 晨开来一辆汽车,把托尼接走了。 公司对托尼同克莱尔相处三个星期的实验 报告非常满意。托尼保护了一个人免受伤 害,他使克莱尔没有因为她的失败感而伤 害自己。那天晚上,他拉开了窗帘,让其 他女人看到了他和克莱尔在一起,他明白 这么做对克莱尔的婚姻并不造成危害。但 是,尽管托尼很聪明,他还得作一番改建 ——总不能让女人和机 器相爱吧。

聚会的那天晚上来到了。时钟敲响八点,客人马上就要到来了。克莱尔叫托尼到另一间房里去。就在那一瞬间,托尼弯曲胳膊搂着她,弯下身去把脸贴近她的脸。她大叫一声“托尼”,然后听到托尼一本正经地说,明天他不想离开她,而且他并不满足于仅仅使她开心。就在这时,前门的门铃响了。托尼放开了她,消失得无影无踪了。也就在这时候,克莱尔才意识到托尼早就把前边窗户的窗帘拉开了。她的客人把这一切看得一清二楚。
克莱尔和她的房子、美食给女士们留下了深刻的印象。就在他们离开之前,克莱尔听到格拉迪斯跟另外一个女人小声地说,她从来没有见过像托尼这样英俊的男人。受到那些女士的妒忌,这该是多么甜美的胜利!克莱尔也许并没有她们那样漂亮,但是他们中没有任何一个人拥有这样英俊的情人。
这时候,她记起来了——托尼只不过是一台机器。她高声嚷着:“让我独自呆一会儿!”就跑上床,哭了一个通宵。第二天早晨开来一辆汽车,把托尼接走了。
公司对托尼同克莱尔相处三个星期的实验报告非常满意。托尼保护了一个人免受伤害,他使克莱尔没有因为她的失败感而伤害自己。那天晚上,他拉开了窗帘,让其他女人看到了他和克莱尔在一起,他明白这么做对克莱尔的婚姻并不造成危害。但是,尽管托尼很聪明,他还得作一番改建——总不能让女人和机 器相爱吧
『捌』 【急需】人教版英语选修七第二单元satisfaction guaranteed的课文原文(英语版)
Larry Belmont worked for a company that made robots. Recently it had begun experimenting with a household robot. It was going to be tested out by Larry’s wife, Claire.
Claire didn’t want the robot in her house, especially as her husband would be absent for three weeks, but Larry persuade her or allow her to be harmed. It would be a bonus. However, when she first saw the robot, she felt alarmed. His name was Tony and he seemed more like a human than a machine. He was tall and handsome with smooth hair and a deep voice although his facial expression never changed.
On the second morning Tony, wearing an apron, brought her breakfast and then asked her whether she needed help dressing. She felt embarrassed and quickly told him to go. It was disturbing and frightening that he looked so human.
One day, Claire mentioned that she didn’t think she was clever. Tony said that she must feel very unhappy to say that. Claire thought it was ridiculous to be offered sympathy by a robot. But she began to trust him. She told him how she was overweight and this made her feel unhappy. Also she felt her home wasn’t elegant enough for someone like Larry who wanted to improve his social position. She wasn’t like Gladys Claffern, one of the richest and most powerful women around.
As a favor Tony promised to help Claire make herself smarter and her home more elegant. So Claise borrowed a pile of books from the library for him to read, or rather, scan. She looked at his fingers with wonder as they turned each page and suddenly reached for his hand. She was amazed by his fingernails and the softness and warmth of his skin. How absurd, she thought. He was just a machine.
Tony gave Claire a new haircut and changed the makeup she wore. As he was not allowed to accompany her to the shops, he wrote out a list of items for her. Claire went into the city and bought curtains, cushions, a carpet and bedding. Then she went into a jeweler shop to buy a necklace. When the clerk at the counter was rude to her, she rang Tony up and told the clerk to speak to him. The clerk immediately changed his attitude. Claire thanked Tony, telling him that he was a “dear”. As she turned around, there stood Gladys Claffern. How awful to be discovered by her, Claire thought. By the amused and surprised look on her face, Claire knew that Gladys thought she was having an affair. After all, she knew Claire’s husband name was Larry, not Tony.
When Claire got home, she wept with anger in her armchair. Gladys was everything Claire wanted to be.“You can be like her”, Tony told her and suggested that she invite Gladys and her friends to the house the night before he was to leave and Larry was to return. By that time, Tony expected the house to be completely transformed.
Tony worked steadily on the improvements. Claire tried to help once but was too clumsy. She fell off a ladder and even though Tony was in the next room, he managed to catch her in time. He held her firmly in his arms and she felt the warmth of his body. She screamed, pushed him away and ran to her room for the rest of the day.
The night of the party arrived. The clock struck eight. The guests would be arriving soon and Claire told Tony to go into another room. At that moment, Tony folded his arms around her, bending his face close to hers. She cried out “Tony” and then heard him declare that he didn’t want to leave her the next day and that he felt more than just the desire to please her. Then the front door bell rang. Tony freed her and disappeared from sight. It was then that Claire realized that Tony had opened the curtains of the front window. Her guests had seen everything!
The women were impressed by Claire, the house and the delicious cuisine. Just before they left, Claire heard Gladys whispering to another woman that she had never seen anyone so handsome as Tony. What a sweet victory to be envied by those women! She might not be as beautiful as them, but none of them had such a handsome lover.
Then she remembered- Tony was just a machine. She shouted “ Leave me alone” and ran to her bed. She cried all night. The next morning a car drove up and took Tony away.
The company was very pleased with the report of Tony on his three weeks with Claire. Tony had protected a human being from harm. He had prevented Claire from harming herself through her own sense of failure. He had opened the curtains that night so that the other women would see him and Claire, knowing that there was no risk to Claire’s marriage. But even though Tony had been so clever, he would have to be rebuilt- you can not have women falling in love with machines.

『玖』 高二英语选修七第二单元 A BLOGRAPHY OF ISAAC ASIMOV 的英语原文
您好,
Isaac Asimov was an American scientist and writer who wrote around 480 books that included mystery stories, science and history books, and even books about the Holy Bible and Shakespeare. But he is best known for his science fiction stories. Asimov had both an extraordinary imagination that gave him the ability to explore future worlds and an amazing mind with which he searched for explanations of everything, in the present and the past.
Asimov's life began in Russia, where he was born on 2 January, 1920. It ended in New York on 6 April, 1992, when he died as a result of an HIV infection that he had got from a blood transfusion nine years earlier.
When Asimov was three, he moved with his parents and his one-year-old sister to New York City. There his parents bought a candy store which they ran for the next 40 or so years. At the age of nine, when his mother was pregnant with her third child, Asimov started working part-time in the store. He helped out through his school and university years until 1942, a year after he had gained a master's degree in chemistry. In 1942 he joined the staff of the Philadelphia Navy Yard as a junior chemist and worked there for three years. In 1948 he got his PhD in chemistry. The next year he became a biochemistry teacher at Boston University School of Medicine. In 1958 he gave up teaching to become a full-time writer.
It was when Asimov was eleven years old that his talent for writing became obvious. He had told a friend two chapters of a story he had written. The friend thought he was retelling a story from a book. This really surprised Asimov and from that moment, he started to take himself seriously as a writer. Asimov began having stories published in science fiction magazines in 1939. In 1950 he published his first novel and in 1953 his first science book.
Throughout his life, Asimov received many awards, both for his science fiction books and his science books. Among his most famous works of science fiction, one for which he won an award was the Foundation trilogy (1951-1953), three novels about the death and rebirth of a great empire in a galaxy of the future. It was loosely based on the fall of the Roman Empire but was about the future. These books are famous because Asimov invented a theoretical framework which was designed to show how ideas and thinking may develop in the future. He is also well known for his collection of short stories, I, Robot (1950), in which he developed a set of three "laws" for robots. For example, the first law states that a robot must not injure human beings or allow them to be injured. Some of his ideas about robots later influenced other writers and even scientists researching into artificial intelligence.
Asimov was married twice. He married his first wife in 1942 and had a son and a daughter. Their marriage lasted 31 years. Soon after his divorce in 1973, Asimov married again but he had no children with his second wife.
Unit 2 RobotsUsing LanguageA BIOGRAPHY OF ISAAC ASIMOV艾萨克·阿西莫夫传
艾萨克·阿西莫夫是美国的科学家兼作家。他写过大约480本书,包括怪诞小说、科学和历史方面的书,甚至还写过有关《圣经》和莎士比亚的书。但是,他最有名的作品还是他的科幻小说。阿西莫夫不仅有着超凡的想象力,使他能对未来世界进行探索,而且还有着惊人的智力,使他能对现在和过去的各种事物作出解释。
阿西莫夫的一生从俄罗斯开始,他生于1920年1月2日;阿西莫夫的一生在纽约结束,他死于1992年4月6日。他是因为九年前的一次输血中感染了艾滋病毒而去世的。
阿西莫夫三岁的时候,就随同父母和年仅一岁的妹妹迁到纽约。在那儿,他的父母买下了一家糖果店,后来一直经营了大约40年。阿西莫夫九岁的时候,母亲怀了第三个孩子,他就开始在糖果店里工作了。他读中学和大学的那段时期都在糖果店里工作,一直到1942年,也就是他获得化学硕士学位一年以后他才停止糖果店的工作。1942年,他在费城海军造船厂里担任初级化学师,干了三年。1948年他获得了化学博士学位。第二年起他在波士顿大学的医学院任生化教员。1958年他放弃了教学工作成为专职作家。
早在阿西莫夫十一岁的时候,他的写作才华就已经显露出来了。他把他写的小说中的两个章节念给一个朋友听,那个朋友还以为他是在复述某本书上的故事呢。这使阿西莫夫很惊讶。从此以后,他就开始认真地从事写作了。1939年,阿西莫夫开始在科幻杂志上发表故事,1950年出版了自己他的第一部小说,1953年出版了他的第一部科学书籍。
阿西莫夫一生中多次获过奖,既有科幻小说奖,也有科学书籍奖。在他那些最负盛名的科幻小说中,有本获奖的书叫做《基地》三部曲(1951-1953),有三个小故事,讲的是未来银河系中一个伟大帝国的灭亡与复兴。基本素材取自罗马帝国的衰败,但讲的是有关未来的事情。这些书之所以有名,是因为阿西莫夫创造了一种理论框架,用以阐述各种想法在未来可能会如何发展。他的短篇小说集《我,机器人》(1950)也是享有盛名的。在这本书里他提出机器人的三大“原则”。举例来说,第一条原则就规定机器人不得伤害人类,也不能允许人类收到伤害。他那些有关机器人的想法后来影响了其他的作者,甚至影响了那些从事人工智能研究的科学家们。
阿西莫夫结过两次婚,他于1942年同、他的第一任妻子结婚,生有一男一女。这次婚姻持续了31年。1973年离婚后不久,阿西莫夫又结婚了,但是他与第二任妻子没有生育儿女。
