business trip for three weeks,but Larry persuaded
her that the robot wouldn't harm her or allow her
to be harmed.It would be a bonus.However,when
she first saw the robot,she felt alarmed.His name
was Tony.He seemed more like a human than a
machine.He was tall and handsome with smooth hair

On the second morning,Tony brought her
breakfast and then asked her 3whether she needed
help dressing.She felt embarrassed and quickly
told him to go.Now she was being looked after by
a robot that looked so human,and it was disturbing.
One day,Claire mentioned that she didn't
think she was clever.Tony said that she must feel
very unhappy to say that.Claire thought it was
ridiculous that she was being offered sympathy by
a robot,but she gradually admired his wisdom and
integrity and began to trust him.He always treated
her with dignity.She told him 3 how she was
unhappy that her home wasn't elegant enough for
Larry,who wanted to improve his social position

with a bigger salary.She wasn't like Gladys Claffern,
one of the richest and most powerful women around.
As a favour,Tony promised to help Claire
make herself more beautiful and her home more
elegant.So Claire borrowed some library books for
him to read,or rather,scan.She looked at his
fingers with wonder as they turned each page.How
absurd,she thought.He was just a machine.
Tony gave Claire a new hairstyle and improved
her makeup.6 As he was not allowed to
accompany her to the shops,he wrote out a list of
things that he would need for his work on the
house.Claire went downtown and bought these
things.She had an appointment to paint her nails,
then she went into an expensive clothes shop.The
saleswoman there was rude to her,so she rang
Tony and told him she was being treated badly.He
spoke to the woman,who immediately changed her
attitude.Claire thanked Tony,Otelling him that he
wasa“dear”.As she turned around,⑧there stood
Gladys Claffern.How awful to be discovered by
her,Claire thought.By the look on her face,Claire
knew that Gladys thought they were in a
relationship.After all,she knew Claire's husband's
name was Larry,not Tony.Although it was
completely innocent,Claire felt guilty.
When Claire got home,she wept.Gladys was
everything Claire wished to be.Tony told her she
was being sensitive and was just as good as
Gladys.He suggested that she invite Gladys and
her friends to the house the night before he was to
leave and Larry was to return.By that time,Tony
expected that the house,which was being
completely transformed,would be ready.
Tony worked steadily on the improvements.
Claire tried to help by working on a light 1
suspended from the ceiling,but she fell off the
ladder.13Even though Tony had been in the next
room,he managed to catch her in time.As he held
her,she felt the warmth of his body.She screamed,
pushed him away,and ran to her room.
The night of the party arrived.The clock
struck eight.The guests would be arriving soon,so
Claire dismissed Tony for the rest of the night.At
that moment,Tony took her in his arms,bringing
his face close to hers.She heard him declare that
he did not want to leave her the next day,and that
he felt more than just the desire to please her.
Then the front door bell rang.

拉里·贝尔蒙特在一家机器人制造公司工作。
该公司最近开始试验家用机器人。机器人将由拉
里的妻子克莱尔进行试用。
克莱尔并不想家里有个机器人,尤其是在她丈
夫要出差三周的时候,但是拉里劝她说机器人不会
伤害她,也不会让她受到伤害。还会是个意外收
获。然而,第一次看到机器人时,克莱尔还是有点
惊慌。这个机器人名叫托尼,看着不太像机器,而
更像一个真人。托尼高大英俊,头发顺滑,嗓音低
沉,不过他的面部表情始终不变。
…/句式释解/
句①as引导时间状语从句,as在此意为“当
…的时候”。
句②although引导的让步状语从句。although
引导的从句可置于主句前,也可置于主句后。
第二天早晨,托尼给克莱尔端来了早餐,还问
她是否需要帮忙穿衣打扮。克莱尔感到非常尴尬,
立刻让托尼走开。现在,她正由一个看起来这么像
人类的机器人照料着,这很令人不安。
…/句式释解/
句目whether引导的宾语从句。
有一天,克菜尔说她觉得自己并不聪明。托尼
说她肯定是感到很不开心才会这么说。克莱尔觉
得一个机器人对她表示同情十分荒谬,但她逐渐欣
赏托尼的智慧和正直,并且开始信任他。托尼对她
彬彬有礼。克莱尔告诉托尼自己多么的不开心,因
为拉里觉得家里不够雅致;拉里想通过涨工资来提
高自己的社会地位。克莱尔与格拉迪丝·克拉芬
不同,后者是当地最有钱有势的女性之一。
…/句式释解/
句④此句是由but连接的并列复合句。第一个
分句中thought后是省略了that的宾语从句,在
该从句中it作形式主语,that引导的主语从句作
真正的主语。
句⑤how引导的宾语从句;that引导的原因状
语从句,常跟在情感类形容词后面;who引导的
非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词Larry。
作为一项恩惠,托尼答应帮助克莱尔,把她变
得更漂亮些,也把她的家变得更雅致些。于是,克
莱尔从图书馆借来了一些书让托尼阅读,应该说是
让他扫视。她惊奇地看着托尼的手指翻动书页的
样子,心想这太荒唐了。他只不过是一台机器
罢了。
托尼给克莱尔做了一个新发型,还改善了她的
妆容。但是,由于托尼被禁止陪同克莱尔去商店,
所以他开具了一张装修房子所需材料的清单。克
莱尔去市中心购买了这些东西。她按预约去美甲
后,走进了一家高档时装店。女店员对她很粗鲁,
于是她打电话给托尼,告诉他说自己受到了不礼貌
的对待。托尼同店员交谈之后,店员立刻改变了态
度。克莱尔向托尼道谢,称托尼为“亲爱的”。当她
转过身来,却看到格拉迪丝·克拉芬正站在那里。
被她发现了,这多么难堪啊,克莱尔心想。从她脸
上的表情判断,克莱尔知道格拉迪丝认为自己出轨
了。毕竟她知道克莱尔丈夫的名字是拉里,而不是
托尼。虽然完全无辜,克莱尔还是感到内疚。

句⑥此句是主从复合句。句中As引导原因状
语从句;that引导定语从句,修饰先行词things。
句⑦现在分词短语作伴随状语,与句子主语
Claire成主动关系。
句⑧使用了完全倒装语序。
句⑨how引导的感叹句的省略。其完整形式是
How awful it was to be discovered by her
到家后,克莱尔啜泣不止。格拉迪丝是她竭力
模仿的对象。托尼对克莱尔说,她这样想有点敏
感,其实她像格拉迪丝一样优秀。托尼还建议在他
离开,也就是拉里回家的前一天晚上,克莱尔邀请
格拉迪丝和她的朋友们到家里来。到那个时候,托
尼预计这栋正在彻底改造的房子将大功告成。

句⑩为省略that的宾语从句。was being
sensitive属于“be十being十形容词”结构,该结构
常用来表达被陈述对象行为反常(暂时的特点或
表现)以及说话人的惊讶、不满、责备等情绪。
句①谓语动词suggested在此表示“建议”,故后
面的宾语从句要用虚拟语气,即宾语从句的谓语
要用“should十动词原形”,should可省略。“was
to leave”和“was to return”属于“be to do”结构,
表示预先计划安排的或客观上应该必须做的。
托尼的装修工作稳步进展。克莱尔试图帮忙
安装天花板上的吊灯,但从梯子上摔了下来。尽管
托尼当时在隔壁房间,但他还是及时接住了她。托

句②过去分词短语作后置定语,修饰light;
:light与suspend之间为逻辑上的动宾关系。
句图even though引导的让步状语从句,even
though表示“尽管…”。
聚会之夜到了。八点整时钟敲响了,客人们很
快就要来了,于是克莱尔让托尼结束了当晚的工

“hear十宾语十宾语补足语”的结构;declare后跟
