1.Fewer

peoplewilldosuchjobsinthefuturebecausetheyareboring,butrobotswillnevergetbored.此句中的getbored譯為“感到厭煩，感到無聊”。其同義詞為：bebored

二者的區(qū)別在于：getbored（強調動作）bebored（強調狀態(tài)）英語中有很多過去分詞或形容詞都可以和get,be連用。比如：tired，angry等。例如：Languagepoints?Youwon’tbeboredwhenyouarehungry.當你餓的時候你就不會覺得無聊了。?Ifyoudothesamethingsmonthaftermonth,youmaygetbored.如果你每月都做同樣的事情，你可能會感到厭煩。2.Itwillbedifficulttomakethemreallythinklikeahuman.把機器人做的像人一樣思考將會很難。通常用it做形式主語，將不定式和動名詞置于謂語后面，特別是主語較長時，或在一些習慣用法中。當謂語是系表結構（be+形容詞/名詞）時，常將不定式后置，構成句型“it+be+表語（形容詞/名詞）+不定式”。如：

?

Itisnotaneasythingtomasteraforeignlanguage.

掌握一門外語不是件容易的事。3.ScientistJamesWhitethinksthatrobotswillneverbeableto

wakeup...

beableto“能夠……”

can&beableto相同點:

兩者都表示能力不同點:

1）can只有現在式和過去式。2）beableto可用于現在時、過去時和將來時，但

它沒有進行時。3)表示經過努力而成功的某一次動作，只能用beableto.試做以下試題:①He____________driveacar.②He____________climboverthemountainbefore.canwasableto4.ButmanyscientistsdisagreewithMr.Whit.但很多科學家不贊同懷特先生的觀點。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.他們在對事故發(fā)生的時間和地點彼此有分歧。?Istronglydisagreewithhisviews.我強烈反對他的見解。?IdisagreecompletelywithJack.我完全不同意杰克的意見。5.Ifbuildingsfalldownwithpeopleinside,thesesnakerobotscanhelplookforpeopleunderthebuildings.如果建筑物倒塌，人還在里面，這些蛇形機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：?Theoldhousesoonfelldown.

這座老房很快就倒塌了。6.
