百度英语短文翻译

People are so busy these days that many people have no time to cook. This becames a problem, because most families love home cooking! The food tastes good and worm, and a family meal brings everyone together. In some families, meals are often the only times everyone sees one another at the same time.

Another reason people enjoy home cooking is that it is often a way of showing love. A parent who makes some cookies is not just satisfying a child's sweet tooth. She or he is sending a message. The message says, “ I care about you enough to spend an hour making cookies that you will eat up in fifteen minutes if I let you.”

There is also something about the smell of home cooking. The smell of home cooking pleases people of all ages. It makes most of us feel good and loved--even if we are the ones doing the cooking! Next time you smell a cake making, stop for a moment and pay attention to your mood.

翻译：

近来人们都很忙，以至于很多人无暇做饭。由于大部分家庭喜欢在家做饭，这就变成了一个难以解决的问题！家里的饭菜温暖可口，在家吃饭可以把全家人聚在一起。在一些家庭，吃饭时是一家人同时见面的唯一时间。

人们喜欢在家做饭的另一个原因是，这是一种表示爱意的常用手段。一个家长为孩子做甜饼干不但是为了满足孩子的嗜好，这也是在向孩子传递信息。这个信息是：“我很关心你，我花费了一个钟头来为你做甜饼干。只要我同意，你可以在一刻钟内把它们全吃光。”

再有，就是家里做饭的气味儿了。家里做饭的气味儿会让老少家人都很愉悦。这种味道会让我们大多数人感到舒服和关爱——即使是做饭的人也是一样的感受！当下次你闻到做蛋糕的味道时，请先静候一会儿来体验一下你的心情。

How do inventions affect people's life?

发明如何影响人类的生活？

There have been many great inventions,things that changed the way we live.The first great invention was one that is still very important today——the wheel.This made it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distances.

世界上有无数的发明影响和改变了人类的生活方式。第一件直到现在都在影响人类生活并起到巨大作用的发明就是——轮子。它的发明使得人类可以搬运较重的物品，以及进行长距离的旅行。

For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that hadas much effectas the wheel.

数百年过去了，人类世界再也没有出现像轮子一样起到如此重要作用的发明。

Then in the early 1800's the world started to changed.There was little unknown and left in the world,people didn't have to explore much any more.They began to work instead to make life better.

但是，在1800年早期世界开始发生变化。世界上的大部分都被人类所认知和了解，人类不需要再进行探索和开发。他们开始将重点从改变生活状况转到工作上来。

In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions.The helicopter in 1909.Movies with sound in 1926.The computer in 1928,and jet planes in 1930.This was also a time when a new material was first made.Nylon came in 1935.It changed the kind of clothes people wear.

在19世界后半段出现了许多伟大的发明。1909年发明直升机。1926年出现有声**。1928年发明电脑， 1930年发明喷气式飞机。同时，在这段时间还出现了一种新的材料，1935年，人类发明了尼龙。它改变了人类衣服的材质。

By this time most people had a very good life .Man has a desire to explore again.The world was known to man but the stars were not.Man began looking for ways to go into space.Russia made the first step.Then the United States took a step.Since then other countries,including China and Japan may have made their steps into space.

在这段时间，人类过上了很好的生活。人类希望进行进一步探索。地球已经被人类所熟知，但是宇宙不在其内。人类开始寻找方法去进入太空。俄国首先迈出了第一步。接着，美国和日本也跨入了这个行列。

In 1969 man took his biggest step from the earth.Americans first walked on the moon.This is the certainly just a beginning thought.New inventions will some day allow us to do things we have never yet dreamed of.

1969年，地球上的人类迈出了最重大的一步。 美国人首先登上了月球。当然，这一切只是开始。也许有一天，新的发明可以使人类做到现在我们根本无法想象的事情。

A judge was working in his room one day when a neighbour ran in andsaid,If

one man's cow kills another's,is the owner of the first cowresponsible?

有一天，一个法官在他的屋子里工作，这时候一个邻居闯进来并且说，如果一个人的母鸡杀死了另一个人的母鸡，那么他的母鸡要负责人吗？

It depends, answered the judge.

视情况而定，法官回答。

Well,said the man,your cow has killed mine.

“好”，这个人说，“你的母鸡杀死了我的母鸡”。

Oh,answered the judge.Everyone knows that a cow cannot think likea man,so a

cow is not responsible,and that means that its owner is notresponsible

either.

哦，法官回答。谁都知道母鸡不能像人类一样的思考，所以母鸡没有责任，同样这就意味着它的主人同样没有责任。

I am sorry,Judge,said the man.I made a mistake.I meant that my cowkilled

yours.

对不起，法官，这个男人说。我犯了个错误。我的意思是我的杀了你的。

The judge thought for a few seconds and then said,When I think aboutit more

carefully,this case is not as easy as I thought at first. Andthen he turned to

his clerk and said,Please bring me that big blackbook from the shelf behind

you.

这个法官想了几秒后说，我认真想了，这个案子不像我最初想得那么简单。同时他转向他的职员说，请把你身后架子上的那本大的黑色的书拿给我。

机器人很聪明，他们可以用电脑头脑帮助人们在危险的地方做一些工作或是困难的工作。一些机器人做常规工作。罗比，一个邮件运送者，把邮件送往华盛顿D。C。的一栋办公大楼里。他是美国的250个邮件运送者之一。

有200磅重6英尺高的里奇姆先生（机器人），作为一名老师有他的优势。其中一个是他不会忘了细节。他知道每个孩子的名字、父母的名字和每个孩子知道什么、需要知道什么。并且他知道每个孩子的宠物和他们的业余还好。里奇姆先生从不犯错。每个孩子去并说出他或她的名字并且拨下一个确认身份的号码。他的电脑大脑就把孩子们的声音和号码一起记下。他能准确无误地辨认孩子们。然后他开始上课。

里奇姆先生（机器人）的另一个好处是可以变通的。如果孩子们需要更多的时间完成他们的功课，他们可以转动开关。他们可以用这种方法一遍一遍地重复里奇姆先生的课程。他给孩子们讲一些关于他们业余爱好的有趣的事，当他们表现好的时候。课堂结束后，孩子们关掉了里奇姆先生。
