eg. The medicine will prevent youfrom getting cold.
"preventing human
personnelfrom being

第二部分 Para.4
7.What makes a robot a robot andnot just another kind of
automatic machine?
make 可带有双宾语
译文:是什么使得一个机器人是机器人而不是一个自动化机器呢?
例如: All work and no play made Jack adull boy. 只工作不玩使杰克成了傻孩子。
(只工作不玩耍,聪明孩子也变傻。 只会工作不会玩儿,杰克变成小傻孩儿。)
8.Robots
differ from
automaticmachines in that after
completion of one
specific task, they can bere
programmed by a
computer to do another one.
在此句中, " in that" 是复合连词。表示:"原因是…,因为,在于.." 可以看作是引导原因状语从句。
与"in that" 相类似的复合连词还有:but that (若不是) now that (既然)等。
(参看教材P.145的注释4中的例句)
9.As an example, a robot doingspot welding one month can be re
programmed and
switched to spray
painting thenext 。
句中doing spot welding one month 是分词短语作定语修饰robot;
the next相当于 the next month 与前边的one month 相呼应。
本句意思是:"例如,一个机器人这个月做点焊工作,下个月可以重新编程去做喷漆工作。"

capable of many
different uses; they are built to performonly one task.

40. Engineers
skilled inmicroelectronics and
computer technology are developing
artificialvision for
robots.
skilled是过去分词短语作定语
artificial : 人工的
在微电子学和计算机技术上有专长的工程技术人员正研制机器人的人工视觉。
3.With the
ability to"see", robots can
identify and
inspect one
specific class ofobjects out of
a stack of
different kinds ofmaterials 。
identify: 识别
inspect: 检查
介词短语中"to see" 是
动词不定式作定语修饰 "
ability" 。 " out of…"表示 " 从…里" 。 句中with the
ability to see是作全句的状语。
本句翻译:拥有了这种看的能力,机器人能够识别出不同种类的物体。
4.One robot
visionsystem useselectronic digital cameras containing many rows of light-
sensitive materials.
一种机器人的视觉系统是用含有光敏材料的数字摄像机制作成的。
5.When light from an object suchas a machine part strikes the camera, the
sensitive materials
measure the
intensity of light and
convert the light rays into a range of numbers.
" when light from an objectsuch as a machine part strikes the camera," 是一个状语从句。句中的 "from an object such as amachine part" 是介词短语作后置定语修饰light。
意为:"当一个物体(如机器零件)上的光线照射到摄像机上时,… …
主句中"
convert …into" 意思是"把… 转换成.. "
例: We
converted the small bedroominto a second bathroom.
我们把这个小卧室改成了另一个浴室。
a range of : 一个….范围
The numbers are part of agrayscale
system in which
brightness is
measured in a range of values. Onescale ranges from 0 to 15, and another from 0 to 255.
翻译:数字是灰度系统的一部分,在灰度系统中,一个范围内的亮度用一些数字被测量表示。一个刻度范围是0到15,另一个是0到225。
The 0 is represented by black. Thehighest number is white. The numbers in between represent
differentshades of gray.
数字"0"代表黑色, "255"代表白色。这两个数字之间的是各种不同灰度的颜色。
The
computer then makes thecalculationsand
converts the numbers into a picture that shows an image of theobject in question.
翻译:计算机将数字转变为图像,这些图像能够表明物体的形象。
12.It is not yet known whetherrobots will one day have
vision as good as human
vision.
本句的真正主语是 " whether" 引导的主语从句, it 是形式主语;
" as good as human
vision" 是后置定语修饰 "
vision" 。
注意此句按照原语序翻译较好。"迄今尚不清楚机器人会不会有朝一日具有人眼那样的视力。"
Technicians believe they will, butonly after years of development.
技术人员相信要使它变成现实,只能等待若干年之后。
Para.6
1.Engineers
