[辨析]seem與look的區(qū)別：兩者后面都可接形容詞、名詞或介詞短語(yǔ)。但seem指說(shuō)話人內(nèi)心的主觀判斷，而look則強(qiáng)調(diào)從所述事物外表上看得出的視覺(jué)印象。在下面兩種情況下只能用seem，而不能用look。1.seem后面接動(dòng)詞不定式時(shí)。如：Myfatherseemedtoknowthenews.我父親好像知道這個(gè)消息。2.在“Itseems/seemedthat...”和“Thereseems/seemed+tobe...”句式中。如：Itseemedthattheydidn’tcatchthetrain.看來(lái)他們沒(méi)趕上火車。Thereseemstobemanyyoungpeopleattheconcert.好像有許多年輕人在聽(tīng)音樂(lè)會(huì)。Insomesciencefictionmovies,whatwillpeoplehaveinthefuture?2.Whichcountryhasrobotsthatcanwalkanddance?3.Wherearethehugearmrobotsworkingnow?Robots.Japan.Infactories.Readandanswerthequestions.4.WhatdoesJamesWhitethink?5.Whatkindofjobcanasnakerobotdo?Hethinksthatrobotswillneverbeabletowakeupandknowwheretheyare.Afteranearthquake,itcouldhelplookforpeopleunderbuildings.2cReadthearticleagainquickly.completethesentencesaboutwhatrobotscandonow.1.Robotscanbuild

getbored.

此句中的getbored譯為“感到厭煩，感到無(wú)聊”。其同義詞為：bebored

二者的區(qū)別在于：

getbored（強(qiáng)調(diào)動(dòng)作）bebored（強(qiáng)調(diào)狀態(tài)）

英語(yǔ)中有很多過(guò)去分詞或形容詞都可以和get,be連用。比如：tired，angry等。例如：

Youwon'tbeboredwhenyouarehungry.當(dāng)你餓的時(shí)候你就不會(huì)覺(jué)得無(wú)聊了。Ifyoudothesamethingsmonthaftermonth,youmaygetbored.如果你每月都做同樣的事情，你可能會(huì)感到厭煩。2.Somerobotsareveryhuman-like.

一些機(jī)器人十分像真人。在human-like（形似真人的；真人一樣的）一詞中，-like為形容詞后綴，用在名詞之后，與其構(gòu)成一個(gè)完整的形容詞，表示“形似……的；像……一樣的；類似于…..的”。又如：abird-likebuilding（像鳥一樣的建筑）acabbage-likevegetable（一種形似卷心菜的蔬菜），theball-likethingonthetopofthebuilding（樓頂上那個(gè)像球一樣的東西。）3.ScientistJamesWhitethinksthatrobotswillneverbeableto

wakeup.Beableto“能夠…..”canvsbeableto相同點(diǎn):

兩者都表示能力不同點(diǎn):

can只有現(xiàn)在式和過(guò)去式。beableto可用于現(xiàn)在時(shí)、過(guò)去時(shí)和將來(lái)時(shí),但它沒(méi)有進(jìn)行時(shí)。3)表示經(jīng)過(guò)努力而成功的某一次動(dòng)作,只能用

但很多科學(xué)家不贊同懷特先生的觀點(diǎn)。這里的“disagreewith”譯為不同意；不一致；不適合。固定搭配：agree（同意）agreewithsb/sthdisagree（同意）disagreewithsb/sthe.g.Theydisagreedwitheachotheraboutthetimeandplaceoftheaccident.

如果建筑物倒塌，人還在里面，這些蛇形機(jī)器人可以幫助在坍塌的建筑物里搜救傷者。

falldown的意思如下：

1）掉下，落下，跌倒：

Theoldladyfelldowninthestreetandbrokeherleg.

老婦跌倒在大街上，摔壞了腿。2）拜倒，跪倒：Theyfelldownbeforehim.他們拜倒在他面前。3）倒塌：
