能看、能听、有知觉、具嗅觉、会说话的智能汽车？还能自动驾驶？这听起来或许像是在做梦，但计算机革命正致力于把这一切变为现实。
智能汽车1 Even the automobile industry, which has remained largely unchanged for the last seventy years, is about to feel the effects of the computer revolution.即便是过去70年间基本上没有多少变化的汽车工业，也将感受到计算机革命的影响。
2 The automobile industry ranks as among the most lucrative and powerful industries of the twentieth century. There are presently 500 million cars on earth, or one car for every ten people. Sales of the automobile industry stand at about a trillion dollars, making it the world's biggest manufacturing industry.汽车工业是20世纪最赚钱、最有影响力的产业之一。
目前世界上有5亿辆车，或者说每10人就有1辆车。
汽车工业的销售额达一万亿美元左右，从而成为世界上最大的制造业。
3 The car, and the roads it travels on, will be revolutionized in the twenty-first century. The key to tomorrow's "smart cars" will be sensors.

unit 2译文
Our society worships youth. Advertisements convince us to buy Grecian Formula and Oil of Olay so we can hide the gray in our hair and smooth the lines on our face. Television shows feature attractive young stars with firm bodies, perfect complexions, and thick manes of hair. Middle-aged folks work out in gyms and jog down the street, trying to delay the effects of age.我们所处的社会崇尚年轻。
连篇累牍的广告劝我们买希腊配方的洗发水和玉兰油，这样的话，白发无处可寻，面部的皱纹也能被抚平。
电视节目上尽是体魄强健，肤色无暇，头发浓密的年轻明星。
而中年人则在体育馆里锻炼，在马路上慢跑，尽量不让岁月过早地留下痕迹。
Wouldn't any person over thirty gladly sign with the devil just to be young again? Isn't aging an experience to be dreaded? Perhaps it is unAmerican to say so, but I believe the answer is "No." Being young is often pleasant, but being older has distinct advantages.不是所有三十出头的人都会为了重获青春而心甘情愿地与魔鬼订立合约吗？长大变老难道不可怕吗？说它不可怕可能不是美国人的回答，但我却认为长大变老不可怕。

UNIT2
Apart from the fact that he was at this moment disguised in the uniform of a clergyman there was nothing very sinister about Mr Cyril Boggis. By trade he was a dealer in antique furniture, with his own shop and showroom in the King's Road, Chelsea. His premises were not large, and generally he didn't do a great deal of business, but because he always bought cheap, very very cheap, and sold very very dear, he managed to make quite a tidy little income every year. He was a talented salesman and when buying or selling a piece he could slide smoothly into whichever mood suited the client best. He could become grave and charming for the aged obsequious for the rich, sober for the godly, masterful for the weak, mischievous for the widow, arch and saucy for the spinster. He was well aware of his gift, using it shamelessly on every possible occasion; and often, at the end of an unusually good performance, it was as much as he could do to prevent himself from turning aside and taking a bow or two as the thundering applause of the audience went rolling through the theatre.
除了他在这一刻伪装穿着制服的牧师的这样一个事实外,西里尔先生并不是表现的那么险恶。
他是在古董家具贸易上的一个商人,用自己的工厂,展厅在巴塞罗那。
他生意的前景并不太好,通常他没有做大量的生意,但是因为他总是购买非常非常便宜的东西,并且销售非常亲切,他每年都成功的钻取了一小笔很好的收入。
他是
一个优秀的推销员,当购买或出售一些物品时，他总能顺利地找到哪种心情最适合客户。
他可以成为老年人的坟墓和迷人的富人的谄媚的, 弱者的大师,淘气的寡妇,拱和漂亮的老处女。
他深知他的礼物,用它无耻地在一切可能的场合,通常,在异常良好的表演后, 他可以做到以防止自己转到一边,以一个或两个弓为观众雷鸣般的掌声滚动通过剧院。
In spite of this rather clownish quality of his, Mr Boggis was not a fool. In fact it was said of him by some that he probably knew as much about French, English and Italian furniture as anyone else in London. He also had surprisingly good taste, and he was quick to recognise and reject an ungraceful design, however genuine the article might be. His real love, naturally, was for the work of the
g reat eighteenth‑century English designers, Ince, Mayhew, Chippendale, Robert Adams Manwaring Inigo Jones, Hepplewhite, Kent Johnson George Smith Lock Sheraton, and the rest of them but even with these he occasionally drew the line. He refused for example, to allow a single piece from Chippendale's Chinese or Gothic period to come into his showroom and the same was true of some of the heavier Italian designs of Robert Adam.
尽管如此,而他的滑稽的质量配音先生不是一个傻瓜。
事实上据说他一些,他可能知道很多关于法国,英国和意大利家具,任何人在伦敦。
他也有出奇的好品味,他很快承认并拒绝不优美的设计, 除非诚恳真实的作品。
当然，他的真正热衷的是为
18 -世纪英国设计师工作,包括因斯,梅休,齐本德尔,伊尼戈琼斯,罗伯特。
亚当斯Manwaring赫波怀特式的,肯特。
约翰逊乔治·史密斯锁喜来登,和其他人,但即使有了这些他偶尔划清了界线。
例如,他拒绝让一块从Chippendale式中国或哥特式时期来到他的陈列室,同样的道理,一些较重的意大利设计的Robert Adam。
