Today's key word is microchip
microchip m-i-c-r-o-c-h-i-p
微芯片
A microchip is a very small piece of silicon(硅) inside a computer. It has electronic circuits(電路) on it and can hold large quantities大量的 of information.
Here is an example:
A microchip is embedded in the center paper of the new generation of passports.
新一代護照的中心頁嵌入了一枚微型芯片。
Talking about microchips, would you like to date someone who is controlled by a microchip? In another word a robot!
不久前,英國一個機構做了一個調查。It asked young people in the UK, if you looked into a crystal ball (水晶球) to predict(預測) your future, would you see yourself in a relationship with a robot?
話說,英國青少年作為英國最有威脅性的人群果然很open. The research has found that one in four young people in the UK would happily date a robot.4分之1 的英國騷年都非常樂意跟機器人約會!
但是,他們也說了約會是有條件的,我們不是隨便的人!
The only condition is that they must look like a real-life human being.
你必須長得像真人?。∪绻L得像電影《機器姬》里面的美女機器人,那完全沒問題啊
Besides, the research also found that half of Brits英國人 who already use contactless bank cards would be happy to have microchips implanted植入 under their skin to open doors or log on at work.
在自己的皮膚里植入一個微芯片,從此以后再也不用擔心忘帶錢包和鑰匙了,聽起來也不錯。
If we have microchips under our skin, we can just swipe our hand and pay for the food at the supermarket, and when we get home, the door will open automatically. It sounds really cool!
高科技確實讓我們的日常生活發生了太多的改變,說不定將來,英語悠選會有虛擬服務,一打開我們的節目,我的3D真人大小形象立即出現在你眼前,tada!
哈哈,但是有一件事情,估計全人類都不會作出改變的。In this research , nearly 80% said they don’t want to swap their dinner for a pill.用一片藥來替代美食,I definitely do not agree with it!
What do you think the future will be like?你想象中的未來是什么樣子的呢?Would you like to date a robot?
Talk to you next time!
