人教版八年级英语第一单元Reading中文

原文：
Do you think you will have your own robot?
In some science fiction movies,people in the future have their own robots.These robots are just like humans.They help with the housework and do the most unpleasant jobs.
Some scientists believe that there will be such robots in the future.However,they agree it may take hundreds of years.Scientists are now trying to make robots look like people and do the same things as us.Japanese companies have already made robots walk and dance.This kind of robot will also be fun to watch.
But robot scientist James White disagrees.He thinks that it will be difficult for a robot to do the same things as a person.For example,it's easy for a child to wake up and know where the are.Mr White thinks that robots won't be able to do this.But other scientists disagree.They think that robots will be able to talk to people in 25 to 50 years.
Robot scientists are not just trying to make robots look like people.For example,there are already robots working in factories.These robots look more like huge arms.They do simple jobs over and over again.People would not like to do such jobs and would get bored.But robots will never get bored.
In the future,there will be more robots everywhere,and humans will have less work to do.New robots will have many different shapes.Some will look like humans,and others might look like snakes.After an earthquake,a snake robot could help look for people under buildings.That may not seem possible now,but computers,space rockets and even electric toothbrushes seemed impossible a hundred years ago.We never know what will happen in the future!
翻译：你认为你将拥有自己的机器人吗?
在一些科幻影片中,未来的人们拥有自己的机器人.这些机器人像人类一样,他们帮助人们做家务,做人类最不想做的工作.一些科学家相信未来会有这样的机器人,然而,他们认为这样可能需要数百年的时间.科学家们现在正尽力使机器人看起来像人一样,与我们做同样的事情.日本的公司已经能让机器人走路、跳舞了.这种机器人看起来也是很有趣的.
但是机器人科学家詹姆斯•怀特不同意.他认为对机器人来说与人做同样的事情会很难.例如,对一个孩子来说醒来并不知道他在哪里是很容易的.怀特先生认为机器人将不能做到这一点.但是其他的科学家不这样认为.他们认为在25到50年内机器人将能够与人们对话.
机器人科学家们不仅仅是在尽力使机器人看起来像人,例如,已有机器人在工厂工作了.这些机器人看起来更像巨大的手臂.他们反复做那些简单的工作.人们不愿做这样的工作并且会厌烦.但是机器人永远不会厌烦.
在未来,到处都将有更多的机器人,并且人类将做更少的工作.新的机器人将有很多不同的形状.有些看起来像人,有些将会看起来像蛇.一场地震后,一个蛇形机器人能够帮助我们寻找（埋在）建筑物下面的人.现在看来似乎是不可能的.但在100年前,电脑、太空火箭甚至电动牙刷似乎也都是不可能的.我们永远都不知道未来会发生什么!
