Asimov
Book 7 Unit 2 RobotsA BIOGRAPHY OF ISAAC ASIMOVIsaac Asimov was an American scientist and writer who wrote around 480 books that included mystery stories, science and history books, and even books about the Holy Bible and Shakespeare. But he is best known for his science fiction stories. Asimov had both an extraordinary imagination that gave him the ability to explore future worlds and an amazing mind with which he searched for explanations of everything, in the present and the past.Asimov's life began in Russia, where he was born on 2 January, 1920. It ended in New York on 6 April, 1992, when he died as a result of an HIV infection that he had got from a blood transfusion nine years earlier.When Asimov was three, he moved with his parents and his one-year-old sister to New York City. There his parents bought a candy store which they ran for the next 40 or so years. At the age of nine, when his mother was pregnant with her third child, Asimov started workingpart-time in the store. He helped out through his school and university years until 1942, a year after he had gained a master's degree in chemistry. In 1942 he joined the staff of the Philadelphia Navy Yard as a junior chemist and worked there for three years. In 1948 he got his PhD in chemistry. The next year he became a biochemistry teacher at Boston University School of Medicine. In 1958 he gave up teaching to become a full-time writer.It was when Asimov was eleven years old that his talent for writing became obvious. He had told a friend two chapters of a story he had written. The friend thought he was retelling a story from a book. This really surprised Asimov and from that moment, he started to take himself seriously as a writer. Asimov began having stories published in science fiction magazines in 1939. In 1950 he published his first novel and in 1953 his first science book.Throughout his life, Asimov received many awards, both for his science fiction books and his science books. Among his most famous works of science fiction, one for which he won an award was the Foundation trilogy (1951-1953), three novels about the death and rebirth of agreat empire in a galaxy of the future. It was loosely based on the fall of the Roman Empire but was about the future. These books are famous because Asimov invented a theoretical framework which was designed to show how ideas and thinking may develop in the future. He is also well known for his collection of short stories, I, Robot (1950), in which he developed a set of three "laws" for robots. For example, the first law states that a robot must not injure human beings or allow them to be injured. Some of his ideas about robots later influenced other writers and even scientists researching into artificial intelligence.Asimov was married twice. He married his first wife in 1942 and had a son and a daughter. Their marriage lasted 31 years. Soon after his divorce in 1973, Asimov married again but he had no children with his second wife.Asimov, 1920年1月2日出生于俄国，1992年4月6日卒于纽约, 原因为九年前因输血而感染艾滋病。

高中英语选修七课文翻译外研社篇一：高中英语选修七课文翻译Unit 1Living well Reading MARTY’S STORY 马蒂的故事你好，我叫马蒂·菲尔丁。
我想你可能会说我是“百万人中才有一个”的那种人。
换句话说，世界上像我这样的人并不多见。
你瞧，我的肌肉有毛病，使我的身体非常虚弱，所以我不能向别人那样快跑或快步爬楼梯。
另外，有时候我还会笨手笨脚、不小心摔掉东西，或磕碰到家具上。
不幸的是，医生们不知道如何治好我的病，但是我很开朗乐观，学会了适应身体的残疾。
我的座右铭是：活一天算一天。
十岁以前，我跟其他人是一样的。
我常常爬树、游泳、踢足球。
说实在的，我过去常常梦想我会成为职业球员，代表我的国家参加世界杯足球赛。
后来，我的身体开始变得越来越虚弱，以至于只能坐在体育场的长凳上欣赏足球了。
最后我到医院去做了检查，住了将近三个月的医院。
我想我至少做过十亿次检查了，包括有一次检查，他们从我的腿部切下一小块儿肌肉，放在显微镜下观察。
即使做过了所有这些检查，也没有人能够确诊这个病。
因此，很难知道将来会是个什么样子。
问题是我看上去跟平常人一样，因此，当我跑了很短的一段路之后，就喘不过气来，或者爬楼梯才爬到一半就得停下来休息，我的小学同学就会笑我。
有时候我的身体太虚弱，上不了学，因此落下了许多功课。
每次缺课之后，我就觉得自己很笨，因为我比别人落后了。
我在中学时期的生活（比在小学时）要轻松多了，因为我的同学已经接受了我的状况。
还有少数同学看不到我的内心世界，但是我并不生气，只是不去理会他们罢了。
总而言之，我生活得挺好。
我很高兴我能做许多事情，比如写作和电脑编程。
我有雄心壮志，长大后我要在开发电脑软件的公司里工作。

• As a favor Tony promised to help Claire make herself smarter and her home more elegant. So Claise borrowed a pile of books from the library for him to read, or rather, scan. She looked at his fingers with wonder as they turned each page and suddenly reached for his hand. She was amazed by his fingernails and the softness and warmth of his skin. How absurd, she thought. He was just a machine.
• One day, Claire mentioned that she didn’t think she was clever. Tony said that she must feel very unhappy to say that. Claire thought it was ridiculous to be offered sympathy by a robot. But she began to trust him. She told him how she was overweight and this made her feel unhappy. Also she felt her home wasn’t elegant enough for someone like Larry who wanted to improve his social position. She wasn’t like Gladys Claffern, one of the richest and most powerful women around.
