(完整版)新人教版英语选修七第二单元Reading的课文译文
新人教版英语选修七第二单元Reading的课文译文包君满意拉里.贝尔蒙特在一家生产机器人的公司里工作。
最近，该公司要对一个家用机器人进行试验。
这项试验将由拉里的夫人克莱尔来尝试。
克莱尔并不想把机器人留在家里，特别是在她丈夫离家三周的这个期间。
但是克莱尔被拉里说服了。
他说，机器人不会伤害她。
这样会是个意外的收获。
然而她初次见到机器人的时候就感到有点儿吃惊。
机器人名叫托尼，看上去更像一个人，而不像台机器。
他虽然面部表情毫无变化，但是个子高大、相貌英俊，头发平整，声音低沉浑厚。
第二天早晨，托尼戴着围裙，给她端来了早餐，然后问她是否需要帮忙穿衣打扮。
她感到有点儿不好意思，很快就打发他走了。
机器人如此通人性，这使她觉得心烦和害怕。
有一天，克莱尔说起，她觉得她自己并不聪明。
托尼则说，克莱尔一定是很不高兴，才会说出这样的话来。
克莱尔觉得，机器人会向她表示同情，这有点荒唐可笑。
但是她开始信任托尼了。
她告诉托尼她太胖了，这让她很不高兴。
还有对于像拉里这样很想提高社会地位的人来说，她的家也不够高雅。
她跟格拉迪丝.克拉芬不一样，格拉迪丝是远近闻名的有钱有势的女人。
托尼为让克莱尔高兴，答应帮助她，使她变得漂亮，使她的家变得高雅大方。
于是克莱尔从图书馆借来一堆书给托尼阅读，或者说给他浏览一下。
她惊奇地看着他的手指翻动着书页，忍不住突然伸出手来摸他的手指。
他的手指甲和他那柔软温暖的皮肤使她感到大为惊异。
她在想，这是多么可笑啊，他只不过是台机器呀！托尼给克莱尔换了个发型，又改变了化妆风格。
因为不允许托尼陪克莱尔去商店，所以托尼就给她写了一份购物清单。
克莱尔进城去买了窗帘、坐垫、地毯和床上用品。
然后她去了一家珠宝店买项链。
柜台售货员对她很粗鲁，她就打电话给托尼，让售货员同托尼讲话。
售货员马上就改变了态度。
克莱尔对托尼表示感谢，并说他是个“可爱的人”。
她刚一转过身去，就看到格拉迪丝.克拉芬站在那儿。
克莱尔想，格拉迪丝认为她有风流韵事了。
