标题[资讯] 机器人马拉松: 单字: 赞助商
时间Mon Feb 14 15:00:27 2011
一、机器人的运用越来越广,日本公司已经打算推出一堆机器人组成的马拉松赛跑。
二、内文:
Marathoners may sometimes seem like robots, with their single-minded focus
and obsessive dedication to finishing their goal. Now some actual robots in
Japan are gearing up for a marathon of their own.
The research firm Vstone is putting together the world’s first robot
marathon, involving 422 laps around a 100-meter track. Imagine this little
robo-scurry on a 42-kilometer scale.
It might not be as fun as a ballet or a robo soccer game, but endurance
trials can help test robots’ durability, which will probably be more
important than a single trick once we welcome them into our lives.
三、多益英检文法重点整理:
1. sponsor(V、N):赞助,marathoner(N):参加马拉松的人,robot(N):机器人,
obsessive(adj):着迷的,dedication(N):付出,actual(adj):真实的,gear up:已准备
好,involve(V):介入,包括,lap(N):圈,scurry(N):碎步,ballet(N):芭蕾舞,
endurance(N):耐久力,durability(N):耐久性,trick(N):手法、诡计。
2. Marathon(马拉松)与robot(机器人)以及sponsor(赞助)有何关系?!当然顾名思义就是
一场比赛,从422圈就知道距离,另外作者再提供过去熟知的机器人运动包括足球、跳芭
蕾来对照,更提出durability(耐久力)才是比赛的王道!
3.gear up是指准备好之一,类似字包括ready与prepare,to put together是指集合之意
,例如put their heads together表示集思广益,put together在生产时也可指称
assemble、compose、join、gather、collect。
4.例句:They finally came up with a new design after putting their heads
together.(在经过他们集思广益之後,他们终於提出一个新的设计。)
5. –ive:表adj,-ity为N。marathon除指马拉松比赛外,现在也引伸为"极为耗时"的意
思,例如 a marathon legal battle。sponsor(V):赞助,类似字有patronize,一般公司
要推出event(N):活动或activity或hosting,就必须要寻找赞助商协助,每个赞助商所获
得的sponsorship(N):赞助商权利不同,另外有些是实体的(tangible)例如设备、桌椅、
水以及财务上的(monetary)当然就是指expenditure。
