论文部分内容阅读
   Prometheus (普罗米修斯)was a Titan (巨人).In the war between Zeus(宙斯) and the giants(一个巨人种族) he had stood on the side of the new Olympiangods(奥林匹斯山神).Out of the clay(粘土) he made the first man,to whom Athena(雅典娜) gave soul(灵魂) and holy (神圣的)breath.Prometheus spent a lot of time and energy in creating the gift of fire.And fire raised man above all animals .Later,there held a joint meeting of gods and men.The meeting was to decide what part of burnt animals should be given to gods and what to men.Prometheus cut up an ox(牛) and divided it into two parts:under the skin he placed the fresh,and under the fat (肥肉)he put the bones,for he knew the selfish (自私的)Zeus loved fat. Zeus saw through the trick (诡计)and felt displeased at the Prometheus' favor towards men.So in a masterful (专横的)wayhe took away the gift of fire from mankind(人类).However,Prometheus managed to steal fire from heaven (天堂)and secretly(秘密地) brought it down to men.
   普罗米修斯是泰坦巨人之一。在宙斯与巨人的战争中,他站在新的奥林匹斯山神一边。他用粘土造出了第一个男人。雅典娜赋予了这个男人灵魂和神圣的生命。普罗米修斯还花费了很多时间和精力创造了火,并将火赠予人类。火使人成为万物之灵。后来,第一次神与人的联席会议举行了。这个会议将决定烧烤过的动物的哪一部分该分给神,哪一部分该给人类。普罗米修斯切开一头牛,把它分成两部分:他把肉放在皮下,将骨头放在肥肉下。因为他知道自私的宙斯爱吃肥肉。宙斯看穿了他的计谋。普罗米修斯偏袒人类,使宙斯感到不快。因此,他专横地把火从人类手中夺走。而普罗米修斯却设法偷走了天火,偷偷地把它带给人类。
   Flying into an anger atthis unjustified (未被证明其正确的)act of rebellion(反抗),Zeus let the other gods chain (用铁链拴住)Prometheus to a rockon Mountain Caucasus(高加索山脉),where a hungry eagle(老鹰) ever tore at his liver(肝脏) which ever grew again.His period of pain was to be thirty thousand years.Prometheus faced his bitter fate firmly (坚定地)and never lost courage(勇气) before Zeus.
   宙斯对他这种肆无忌惮的违抗行为大发雷霆。他令其他的山神把普罗米修斯用锁链缚在高加索山脉的一块岩石上。一只饥饿的老鹰天天来啄食他的肝脏,而他的肝脏又总是重新长出来。他的痛苦要持续3万年。而他坚定地面对苦难,从来不在宙斯面前丧失勇气。
   At last Heracles made Prometheus and Zeus restore to friendship,when Heracles came over in search of the golden apple and killed the eagle and set the friend of mankind free.
  最后,海格立斯令普罗米修斯与宙斯恢复了他们的友谊,找到了金苹果,杀死了老鹰,解救了人类的老朋友普罗米修斯。

  Do you think it is easy to run? Almost everybody can run although they had to learn how to do it when they were young. So running appears to be a more simple task to robots in people’s mind, but it isn’t.
   There are many complex movements in running. It is especially difficult to make robots run. But a South Korean company Robot is has developed a robot that can run. The robot is called RX.
  Robotis showed the world the running robot RX can run about 500 meters an hour. RX has attracted a lot of attention.
  The South Korean company wasn’t the first to develop a running robot. The Japanese company Sony created the first running robot in 2003.The robot's name is QRIO. Another Japanese company, Honda, also invented a robot. Its name is ASIMO and it can run about 6 kilometers per hour.
  There is a big difference between the South Korean running robot RX and the Japanese running robots. RX receives his instructions from outside of his body, from a computerthat directs him. The Japanese robots have computers and software inside their bodies. As a result, RX is much cheaper than Japanese models.
  
  你认为奔跑很简单吗?虽然需要在年幼的时候学习,但几乎每个人都会跑。所以在人们看来,奔跑对机器人更应该是一个很简单的任务,但事实并非如此。
  奔跑含有很多复杂的运动。让机器人奔跑起来更困难。但韩国一家叫做Roboyis 的公司发明了一个可奔跑的机器人。它的名字叫做RX。
   Roboyis向世界展示了这个能奔跑的机器人。它能以500m/s的速度奔跑,这吸引了很多研究者的注意。
   Roboyis公司不是第一个开发可奔跑机器人的公司。日本索尼公司在2003年就开发出了第一个奔跑机器人。它的名字叫QRIO。另一个日本公司Honda,同样发明了一个可奔跑的机器人。它的名字叫做ASIMO,能以每小时6公里的速度奔跑。
  韩国的奔跑机器人RX和日本的奔跑机器人之间有很大差别。RX从控制它的一台电脑接受来自它身体外部的指令。日本机器人的电脑及软件在它身体内部。因此,RX比日本机器人便宜很多。
