第073句:仿真机器人
But that, Pearson points out, is only the start of man-machine integration: "It will be the beginning of the long process of integration that will ultimately lead to a fully electronic human before the end of the next century. "
译文:
但是,皮尔森指出,那只是人机一体化的开始:“它将是一体化漫长过程的开端,最终将使人们在下个世纪末之前就能研制出完全电子化的仿真机器人。”
点睛:
该句中Pearson points out是插入语,它将句子的主语that和谓语is分隔开。在直接引语部分,that引导的是以integration为先行词的定语从句,而介词短语before...为该从句的时间状语。短语point out意为“指出”。
