The home robot 翻译：家用机器人

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. 翻译：江先生是阳光小镇上一家大公司的经理。他总是太忙，没有时间去放松。“我得买一个机器人，以便我可以拥有更多的空闲时间，”江先生心里想。于是他从机器人商店订购了一个。

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. 翻译：机器人使江先生的生活变得方便多了。当他早上起床的时候，早餐做好了，他的西装熨平了，他的午餐盒也已经准备好了。这让他非常高兴。

While Mr Jiang was at work, the robot would do all the housework. It would go shopping at the supermarket as well. 翻译：当江先生在上班的时候，机器人会做好一切家务。它还会去超市购物。

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 dinner, the robot would tidy up. That allowed Mr Jiang to do whatever he liked. He would watch TV or do some reading. It seemed that in general the robot satisfied Mr Jiang's needs. 翻译：当江先生下班回家时，他的公寓看上去会和新的一样漂亮，而且美味的晚餐也会替他准备好。晚餐过后，机器人会收拾干净。这使得江先生可以做自己喜欢做的一切。他会看电视或读点书。看起来这个机器人大体上满足了江先生的需求。

Unit 3 翻译：第三单元

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 dinner, the robot would tidy up. That allowed Mr Jiang to do whatever he liked. He would watch TV or do some reading. It seemed that in general the robot satisfied Mr Jiang's needs. 翻译：当江先生下班回家时，他的公寓看上去会和新的一样漂亮，而且美味的晚餐也会替他准备好。晚餐过后，机器人会收拾干净。这使得江先生可以做自己喜欢做的一切。他会看电视或读点书。看起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 started 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. 翻译：然而，几周舒适的生活之后，情况开始不对了。这个机器人感染上了一种病毒，不再正常工作了。它开始犯些愚蠢的错误。有时，它会在凌晨四点就叫醒江先生。当江先生回到家时，他会发现家里乱作一团：食物放在床上，牛奶储存在垃圾桶里，硬币、账单和他的私人文件撒得满地都是。而且，机器人下面装着轮子移动得太快了，经常会撞倒东西。江先生不知道该拿它怎么办。

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! 翻译：最后，江先生决定把这个机器人还给机器人商店。机器人可以帮人们很多忙，但是它们也可能会惹太多麻烦！

Dear Sir/Madam, Robot model number HUG0123BB Two weeks ago. I bought a robot from your shop. However. I am not satisfied with it at all. First of all. I am unhappy with its batteries. They last for one week at most, so I have to change them often. I think they should last for at least 2 months. I think a robot should work 24 hours a day, and I want my robot to help me with homework. However, this robot is very lazy. I need to give it instructions all the time. Otherwise, I need to do everything myself. The quality of this robot is not up to standard either. A good robot should only need checking every 6 months. My robot has already stopped working completely. I do not know what is wrong with it. I regret having bought a robot like this. I would like to get my money back. Yours faithfully, Daniel Chen 翻译：亲爱的先生/女士， 机器人型号HUG0123BB 两周前，我从你们商店买了一个机器人。但是，我对它一点都不满意。 首先，我对它的电池很不满意。它们最多只可以用一周，所以我不得不经常更换它们。我认为它们至少应该能用2个月。 我认为机器人应该一天工作24个小时，我还想让我的机器人帮我做家庭作业。但是，这个机器人很懒。我需要一直给它下达指令。否则，我就需要自己做每件事情。 这个机器人的质量也不合格。一个好的机器人应该只需要每六个月检查一次。我的机器人已经完全停止运转了。我不知道它出了什么问题。 我后悔买了这样的一个机器人。我想要回我的钱。 你忠实的， 丹尼尔·陈

We are sure that you will like it. You are welcome to let us know whenever you are not satisfied with it. Please tell us your decision.
