1.Fewerpeoplewilldosuchjobsinthefuturebecausetheyareboring,butrobotswillnevergetbored.此句中的getbored译为“感到厌烦，感到无聊”。其同义词为：bebored二者的区别在于：getbored（强调动作）bebored（强调状态）英语中有很多过去分词或形容词都可以和get,be连用。比如：tired，angry等。例如：Languagepoints
►Youwon’tbeboredwhenyouarehungry.当你饿的时候你就不会觉得无聊了。►Ifyoudothesamethingsmonthaftermonth,youmaygetbored.如果你每月都做同样的事情，你可能会感到厌烦。
2.Itwillbedifficulttomakethemreallythinklikeahuman.把机器人做的像人一样思考将会很难。通常用it做形式主语，将不定式和动名词置于谓语后面，特别是主语较长时，或在一些习惯用法中。当谓语是系表结构（be+形容词/名词）时，常将不定式后置，构成句型“it+be+表语（形容词/名词）+不定式”。如：►Itisnotaneasythingtomasteraforeignlanguage.掌握一门外语不是件容易的事。
3.ScientistJamesWhitethinksthatrobotswillneverbeabletowakeup.Beableto“能够……”can&beableto相同点:两者都表示能力不同点:1）can只有现在式和过去式。2）beableto可用于现在时、过去时和将来时，但它没有进行时。
3)表示经过努力而成功的某一次动作，只能用beableto.试做以下试题:①He____________driveacar.②He____________climboverthemountainbefore.canwasableto
4.ButmanyscientistsdisagreewithMr.Whit.但很多科学家不赞同怀特先生的观点。这里的“disagreewith”译为“不同意；不一致；不适合”。固定搭配：agree（同意）agreewithsb/sthdisagree（同意）disagreewithsb/sth
e.g.►Theydisagreedwitheachotheraboutthetimeandplaceoftheaccident.他们在对事故发生的时间和地点彼此有分歧。►Istronglydisagreewithhisviews.我强烈反对他的见解。►IdisagreecompletelywithJack.我完全不同意杰克的意见。
5.Ifbuildingsfalldownwithpeopleinside,thesesnakerobotscanhelplookforpeopleunderthebuildings.如果建筑物倒塌，人还在里面，这些蛇形机器人可以帮助在坍塌的建筑物里搜救伤者。falldown的意思如下：1）掉下，落下，跌倒：►Theoldladyfelldowninthestreetandbrokeherleg.老妇跌倒在大街上，摔坏了腿。
2）拜倒，跪倒：►Theyfelldownbeforehim.他们拜倒在他面前。3）倒塌：►Theoldhousesoonfelldown.这座老房很快就倒塌了。
6.SoI’llprobablyjustkeepabird.keep:v.“保持；维持；喂养”keep+sb./sth.+形容词“使某人/某物……”e.g.Thejobkeptthembusyforayear.2)keep+形容词“保持”e.g.Themanranupanddowntokeepwarm.
