未来的机器人作文英语带翻译（20篇）

一个风高夜黑的夜晚，保护小区的机器人开始出动了。四周静悄悄地，安静得出奇，机器人出来巡夜，保护小区的安全。

机器人的头上长满了千里眼、顺风耳和透视眼。千里眼可以看见千里外的东西，顺风耳可以听见细微的声音，透视眼可以看见房子、树丛后面的东西。有了千里眼、顺风耳和透视眼，抓小偷是轻而易举的事了。

机器人有四只有奇特功能的手，可以变到身上的任何一个部位，其中一只手是一把什么武器都挡得住的防御盾;另一只手是一把镰刀，无论是什么东西都能一刀砍成两段。还有两只手是两只铁爪，只要抓住小偷的手，铁爪就会变成手铐，把小偷抓住。

机器人的身上有八个麻痹枪口，向着八个方向，可以先把小偷麻痹，再抓住小偷。机器人的背上长着一双强劲有力的铁翅膀，扇一下可以飞一千米。如果小偷坐飞机或汽逃走，它可以扇动翅膀，快速追上去，把小偷抓住。在机器人的保护下，晚上住在小区里的人就可以安心地做个好梦了。

机器人抓贼防贼的功能很齐全，是一个高科技的警察机器人。

Mothers Day

Mothers Day comes on the second Sunday in May each year. On that day this year, I bought a sweater and some flowers for my mother to thank her for her hard work for me. Receiving my gift, my mother was very happy.

作文翻译：

母亲节是五月的第二个星期日。今年母亲节那天，我为母亲买了一件毛衣和一束鲜花作为礼物，感谢母亲为我付出的辛苦。母亲收到礼物后，非常高兴。

Improve our environment

Good environment can make people feel happy. To improve the environment means to qualify our life . What should we do to improve our environment ?

We should plant more trees . And we should prevent those factories from pouring waste water into rivers , lakes and fields . Whenever we see litter on the ground , we should pick it up and throw it into a dustbin . Don’t spit in public places . Don’t draw on public walls . It’s our duty to keep our earth clean and tidy .

良好的环境能使人觉得愉快。改善环境，使我们的生活。我们应该做什么来改善我们的环境?

我们应该种更多的树。我们应该阻止那些工厂废水流入河流，湖泊和田野。每当我们看到地上的垃圾，我们应该把它捡起来扔到垃圾桶。不要在公共场所吐痰。不要在公共墙上画。这是我们的职责，保持地球的干净和整洁的。

发愁啦!满地的拉圾又脏又臭，影响了树木的生长，影响了小草，小花的梦。

我要发明一种会吃垃圾的机器人。它具有同人类的身躯，脖子，头部，眼睛，双臂与双足，具有一定的语言功能。机器人会把藏在土里的塑料袋，废旧电池吃掉。不但树木长得快，小草也发芽的快，小花长得鲜艳美丽。这样，环境就会变得更好。你会想，那么多的垃圾，吃进肚子里，怎么排出来呀!不用怕，把一种特殊的电池装进机器人的肚子里，那些垃圾就可已变成糖，再把糖化为能源就可以啦。

你会问：“这样就可以了吗?怎么操作呀!”你只要按一下机器人身上的按钮，它就会乖乖地去清理垃圾，看，这样多么方便，为人类付出了多大的贡献呀!

我相信，在不久的将来，我一定会发明出这种机器人。

“读一本好书，就象和一位高尚的人谈话。”今年寒假，我控制不住自己的好奇，翻开了《巴黎圣母院》，走进了作者雨果的内心世界。

这本书讲述了两个完全不是一个世界的人神奇故事。

爱斯美拉达是个美丽的流浪艺人。她不仅外表美丽，还有一颗高尚的心灵。当诗人格兰古瓦即将被乞丐王国绞死的关键时刻，她毫不犹豫地以愿意和他结婚的方式救下了诗人;当副主教克洛德利等用种种卑鄙的手段逼迫她时，她也表现出了前所未有的镇定，她还宁死不屈，在绞刑架前显出了她的大义凛然……

卡西莫多是个极其丑陋的聋瞎敲钟人。他遭到了亲人及整个社会的遗弃。但厄运不但没污染他的心，反而使他成为了一个善良的人。他多次救下了爱斯美拉达，还常帮助无家可归的孤儿。命运给了他爱上爱斯美拉达的机会，可上帝却在他生命结束之时跟他开了个莫大的玩笑——在另一个世界与爱斯美拉达相爱。故事是悲惨的，可他们留下的精神却是永恒的!

是啊，一个人不能因为自己先天不足而自暴自弃，更不能过分追求外表美。我们应该学会真诚地善待他人。要懂得珍爱生命，尊重世界上的每一个人。

With the development of science and technology more and more intelligent robots are being used in industrial fields taking the place of humans to do many dangerous tasks. Besides with the price of robots going down they have begun to enter families helping people do some housework and even care for patients or read books for babies.

All of these suggest that robots are playing a big part in our life. By using robots people can save time to do what they like. Meanwhile they reduce the rate of death and injury in dangerous work.

But can people be out of work because of the existence ofrobots? Certainly not! However clever robots are they are made by humans and whatever they do they just follow the instructions given to them by humans. Therefore robots will never completely replace humans.

Lets enjoy the convenience brought by robots.

Once upon a time there was a miser. He hid his gold under a tree. Every week he used to dig it up.

One night a robber stole all the gold. When the miser came again, he found nothing but an empty hole.

He was surprised, and then burst into tears.All the neighbors gathered around him. He told them how he used to come and visit his gold.

"Did you ever take any of it out?" asked one of them. "No," he said, "I only came to look at it." "Then come again and look at the hole," said the neighbor, "it will be the same as looking at the gold."

从前，有个守财奴将他的金块埋到一棵树下，每周他都去把他挖出来看看。

问明了原因后，一个邻居问："你使用过这些金块吗?" "没用过，" 他说，"我只是时常来看看。""那么，以后再来看这个洞，"邻居说，"就像以前有金块时一样。"

机器人现在广泛地使用于全球。但机器人现在还没有走进每一个平民家里，为了将来机器人能到每个平民家庭，我现在就来出一份力，设计一个未来的机器人吧！

我设计的这个未来机器人是个网络控制、娱乐机器人。现在来介绍一下它的功能。它可以知道你上的网站是否健康，如果健康，它就响起短暂而又动听的音乐声；如果不健康，它就会发出警报声；如果警报声响了一分钟，你还没有关闭不健康的网页的话，它会走到你手旁边，用脚轻轻打你的手，直到你把这个不健康的网页关掉为止；如果你觉得音乐和警报声音太大，那就把它胸前的调音器的声音调小一点儿就ok了。

它还可以控制你上网的时间。它肚子上有个（计时钟，两旁是“增减上网时间”按钮，如果要调时间，那就要告诉你，右边是增加按钮，左边是减少按钮。每次按一下按钮增加或减少一分钟，按右上角的按钮就开始计时了。时间一到，它的两个红色“胳膊”下面的两个铃铛就会响，直到你离开电脑旁才会停止。

它还起到了娱乐作用。网速太慢或视频加载很慢时，与其干等倒不如和机器人聊一些关于网络方面的知识，所有关于网络的知识它都会一清二楚。

在不使用电脑时，这个机器人可以拿下来当摆设或玩具。这个机器人很耐摔，至少摔二十几次才会坏。它的构造很简单，坏了也可以马上修好。

网络机器人既可以当作“网络监督员”也可以当作玩具和摆设，是不是很实用呢？

My name is Liu Xianyang, a small student of Baiyun, reading class six in grade three.

I have a round face, big eyes, red mouth. I have a pair of big ears, and I hear it very clearly. My hands are long, my feet are big, and I run fast.

I like to blow the gourd, it is a national musical instrument, the sound of blowing out sounds good. I will blow the music of the happy water splashing Festival, the catch swing, the reed Shaw love.

I love to laugh, love sports, like to make friends with others, and everyone comes to make friends with me.

浩瀚无边的宇宙，飘零着无数的星球，五彩缤纷的星际中，闪烁着我的一艘太空船，我发明的机器人就放在我的那个太空实验室里。

它是一个什么样的机器人?让我来告诉你吧。

它是一个非常高级的智能机器人，具有丰富的感觉功能和熟练的活动能力。它是服务周到、态度和蔼可亲的家庭主人。早晨，如果我吃过早点上班以后，它会立即用吸尘器清理房间，用洗衣机洗涤我换下的衣服和臭袜子。如果我不在家的话，有人打电话找我，它会马上拿起耳机，在一张便条上记下对话内容。“哇——”摇篮里的婴儿醒了，它又像慈祥的母亲一样抱起婴儿，喂水、喂奶，轻声哼起一支优美动听的催眠曲，把婴儿再一次送入梦乡。门铃响了，它并不急于开门，而是首先问来访者是谁，然后根据来访者的声音仔细辨别他是不是我的客人，以此决定是否开门。即使是盗贼的恐吓，它也不会害怕，而是声色俱厉地高喊：“快走，你这个无赖!再不走，我要报警了!”盗贼听到这喊声，只好胆战心惊地走开。做午餐的铃声响了，它走进厨房，熟练地炒鸡蛋、炒酸水洋芋片儿、炒回锅肉、熬银耳汤，为我准备可口的饭菜。如果门铃再次响起的时候，机器人一听是我的声音，它就知道是张世语下班回来了，马上开门迎接……

我喜欢写写画画，但是我懒得动笔。我只需要坐在沙发上用嘴说说就可以啦，我怎么说，它就会给我一丝不苟地按照格式记下来，然后打印出标准样本。

你需要想起小时候的所有情景吗?只要你坐在它的腿上，它就会把手放在你头上，然后看它的前额显示器，播放的图像资料就是你小时候怎么出生的、怎么长大的、做了些什么事的具体历程。

你不必担心你得了健忘症和丢失东西。你只想要按一下它眼睛上的某个按钮，它就会带你回家或者找回你丢失的东西……

怎么样?你想买我发明的这个机器人吗?很遗憾地告诉你，我不卖。

在做些事情还真麻烦，我真希望能发明一个多功能的可爱机器人！

这种机器人很可爱：它全身是淡粉色，眼睛又大又圆，说话声也很动听，肚子圆溜溜的，能说不可爱吗？

它的系统多的令人吃惊，比如有：大扫除、控制电器分辨好坏，帮我们写作业等。最令我们兴奋地是写作业这个系统了，接下来给大家讲一下吧！你只用说一声“作业”，机器人就会把手换成跟人类一样的手，并拿起笔来帮你写，那会让我们变笨的呀？没关系，它只会帮你写，答案要你自己说出来，如果你不会的话，它会告诉你思路，直到你明白为止，你做完作业后，它会为你打开电视和为你做个水果拼盘，并问你要吃什么晚餐，待候你美美地吃完。还会去浴室调水温给大家洗澡。等主人要睡觉时，它便会关好灯，窗帘。直到早上的到来！

我一定要好好读书，长大把它发明出来！

I am studying at a middle school now, this is my second year, so I will be study in high school soon. I have many future plans, the first is studying hard, so I can enter a good high school, only study in such school, I can have more chances to get into a better college.

狗的生活习性可多了，它特别喜欢吃骨头和鱼。只要你对它温和，它对你非常好。

春节我去奶奶家玩，我一进大院，就看见一只小花狗。它偏瘦，穿着一身黑白相间的“衣服”。短短的腿，黑溜溜的眼睛，扁扁的鼻子，小巧玲珑的嘴，非常可爱。我的脚刚刚迈进门，它就“汪、汪、汪……”地叫了起来，好像要把我“吃”似的。我连忙退了几步，吓得我出了一身冷汗。我奶奶把狗抱起来，我快速进了家，小狗还在盯着我，很不友好的样子。

开饭了，我首先把碗里的骨头给小狗吃，小狗看了看我，直摇尾巴，好像在说：“谢谢你!”它低下头津津有味地啃起了骨头。我心想：这小家伙真贪吃。下次再咬我你别想吃骨头了!不一会儿，小狗的骨头吃完了，用舌头舔舔嘴巴，用牙齿咬住我的裤腿，好像在说：“再给我一块骨头，好吗?”我的碗里只剩下米饭了，只好给它一点米饭，可是，他闻一闻就失望地走了。

从我喂了骨头以后，小狗对我很友好。有一次，我在写作业，它那熟悉的声音又传来了，跑到我身边叫了几声，好像在说：“小主人，我们一起玩行吗?”他见我不答应，就跳在桌子上，闻闻这儿，闻闻那儿，没办法，我只好收起书本与它玩，它高兴的跳了起来。

Halloween (or Halloween) is an annual holiday observed on October 31, which commonly includes activities such as trick-or-treating, attending costume parties, carving jack-o-lanterns, bonfires, apple bobbing, visiting haunted attractions, playing pranks, telling scary stories, and watching horror films.

History

Historian Nicholas Rogers, exploring the origins of Halloween, notes that while "some folklorists have detected its origins in the Roman feast of Pomona, the goddess of fruits and seeds, or in the festival of the dead called Parentalia, it is more typically linked to the Celtic festival of Samhain, whose original spelling was Samuin (pronounced sow-an or sow-in)".The name is derived from Old Irish and means roughly "summers end".Snap-Apple Night (1832) by Daniel Maclise.Depicts apple bobbing and divination games at a Halloween party in Blarney, Ireland.The name Halloween and many of its present-day traditions derive from the Old English era.

The word Halloween is first attested in the 16th century and represents a Scottish variant of the fuller All-Hallows-Even ("evening"), that is, the night before All Hallows Day.[4] Although the phrase All Hallows is found in Old English (ealra hālgena mæssedæg, mass-day of all saints), All-Hallows-Even is itself not attested until 1556.

11月1日 -- 万圣节 All Saints Day

11月2日 -- 墨西哥的鬼节 Day of Death

万圣节(All Saints Day, All Hallows Day或Hallowmas) 是每年11月1日的欧美大节日。

Halloween 是 All Hallows Eve 的缩写，万圣节前夜的意思，指10月31日的晚上。

For thousands of years people have been celebrating different holidays and festivals at the end of October. The Celts celebrated it as Samhain (pronounced “sow-in”, with “sow” rhyming with cow)。 The Irish English dictionary published by the Irish Texts Society defines the word as follows:

“Samhain, All Hallowtide, the feast of the dead in Pagan and Christian times, signalizing the close of harvest and the initiation of the winter season, lasting till May, during which troops (esp. the Fiann) were quartered. Faeries were imagined as particularly active at this season. From it the half year is reckoned. also called Feile Moingfinne (Snow Goddess)。(1) The Scottish Gaelis Dictionary defines it as ”Hallowtide. The Feast of All Soula. Sam + Fuin = end of summer.“(2) Contrary to the information published by many organizations, there is no archaeological or literary evidence to indicate that Samhain was a deity. The Celtic Gods of the dead were Gwynn ap Nudd for the British, and Arawn for the Welsh. The Irish did not have a ”lord of death“ as such.

The Celts believed that every year on the last day of October, the souls of the dead visited the earth.www.

When the Romans conquered the Celts in the first century A.D., they added parts of their festivals, Feralia and Pomona to the tradition. Feralia was a festival to honor the dead and Pomona was a harvest festival named after the goddess of fruit (apples) and trees.

Around the eigth century, the Christian church made November 1 All Saints Day to honor all of the saints that didnt have a special day of their own. Over the years these festivals combined, the mass held on All Saints Day was called Allhallowmas (the mass of all Hallows - saintly people)。 The night before was known as All Hallows Eve. Eventually this name became Halloween.

In the 1800s, as a lot of people emigrated to the U.S., the holidays and traditions of different cultures merged. Halloween was not always a happy time. October 31, or the night before took on other names. Some called it Devils or Hell night, to others it was mischief night. Here in Vermont, the night before is called cabbage night. To some people this became a time to play tricks on others. Some of these tricks were not fun at all. Luckily, community groups and individuals took action and started to change Halloween into a family event. Dressing up in costumes and going ”trick or treating“, costume parades, community parties and Fall festivals are some of the ways that Halloween is celebrated today.

Other countries have different Fall festivals to honor the deceased.

The Festival of the Dead is one of the most important happenings in both Palermo and the rest of Sicily. The second of November is a festival day for the children of Palermo as, according to tradition,they were made to believe that their dead relatives would return the night before and leave them traditional sweets and cakes on the table (Martorana fruit, which is almond paste made into the shape of different fruit)。 They would also receive puppets of boiled sugar and toys. Its one way of keeping the memory of their dead relatives and loved ones alive.

一年中最”闹鬼“的这天夜里，各种妖魔鬼怪、 海盗、 外星来客和巫婆们纷纷出动。在基督纪元以前，凯尔特人在夏未举行仪式感激上苍和太阳的恩惠。

当时的占卜者点燃并施巫术以驱赶据说在四周游荡的妖魔怪。后来，罗马人用果仁和苹果来庆祝的丰收节与凯尔特人的10月31日溶合了。

在中世纪，人们穿上动物造型的服饰、 戴上可怕的面具是想在万圣节前夜驱赶黑夜中的鬼怪。尽管後来基督教代替了凯尔特和罗马的宗教活动，早期的习俗还是保留下来了。现在，孩子们带着开玩笑的心理穿戴上各种服饰和面具参加万圣节舞会，这些舞会四周的墙上往往悬挂着用纸糊的巫婆、 黑猫、 鬼怪和尸骨，窗前和门口则吊着龇牙裂嘴或是面目可憎的南瓜灯笼。孩子们还常常试图咬住悬挂着的苹果。

美国和加拿大的孩子们在这天穿戴上古怪的服饰去按邻居家的门铃，并按传统发出”是款待我还是要我耍花招“的威胁。邻居们不管是否被吓着，总是准备了一些糖果、 苹果等点心，孩子们则一一收入自己的袋内。

万圣节其实不是基督教的节日。2500年前，爱尔兰的凯尔特人(Celts)以10月31日为一年的最後一日，11月1日是新一年的开始，也象徵冬天的来临。

凯尔特人相信死亡之神Samhain在10月31日的晚上会和鬼魂一起重返人间，寻找替身。因此他们燃点火炬，焚烧动物以作为死亡之神的献礼。还会用动物的头或皮毛做成的服饰打扮自己，发出古怪的声音，使死亡之神认不出自己，避过灾难。这就是今天万圣节化妆舞会的由来。过了当晚，鬼魂回到阴间，一切回复平静。

基督教兴起，教徒沿袭万圣节传统，万圣节的意义慢慢改为纪念为献身於神而死亡的人(holies)。

附带一提，11月2日是墨西哥的鬼节(Los Dias de los Muertos, Day of the Dead)。当天家家户户都烘烤动物造型的面包和煮鸡肉等食物，并在供桌上面放置玩具，以期待早逝的孩童们回到家中玩耍。也可以陈列鲜花、 水果、 照片和彩绘的骷髅头，接待仙逝长辈。

墨西哥人认为，鬼魂和人一样需要及时行乐，所以鬼节宛若一场嘉年华会，人们带着面具到处游走，吃骷髅形状的糖，面包上还装饰有鬼的形像。黄昏时刻，全家人一起到墓园清理墓地，妇女们或跪或坐整夜祈祷，男人们交谈或唱歌，在子夜中烛光忽闪忽灭充满了整个墓园，游唱歌者为已逝亡者的灵魂高歌吟唱。
