 Larry Belmont worked for a company thatmade robots. Recently it had begun experimenting with a household robot. It wasgoing to be tested out by Larrys wifeClaire. 拉里·贝尔蒙特在一家制造机器人的公司工作。最近,它开始试验家用机器人。拉里的妻子克莱尔要测试一下。 Claire didnt want the robot in her houseespecially as her husband would be away on a business trip for threeweeksbut Larry persuaded her that the robot wouldnt harm her or allow her to be harmed. Itwould be a bonus. Howeverwhen she first saw the robotshe felt alarmed. His name was Tony. He seemed more like a humanthan a machine. He was tall and handsome with smooth hair and a deep voicealthough his facial expression neverchanged. 克莱尔不想把机器人放在家里,尤其是她的丈夫要出差三个星期,但拉里说服她,机器人不会伤害她,也不会让她受到伤害。这将是一个奖金。然而,当她第一次看到机器人时,她感到惊慌失措。他叫托尼。他看起来更像一个人而不是一台机器。他高大英俊,头发光滑,声音低沉,尽管他的面部表情从未改变。 On the second morningTony brought her breakfast and then askedher whether she needed help dressing. She felt embarrassed and quickly told himto go. Now she was being looked after by a robot that looked so humanand it was disturbing. 第二天早上,托尼给她送来早餐,然后问她是否需要帮忙穿衣。她觉得很尴尬,赶紧叫他走。现在她被一个看起来像人类的机器人照顾着,这让人很不安。 One dayClaire mentioned that she didnt think she was clever. Tony said that she must feel very unhappy tosay that. Claire thought it was ridiculous that she was being offered sympathyby a robot but she gradually admired his wisdom and integrity and began totrust him. He always treated her with dignity. She told him how she was unhappythat her home wasnt elegant enough for Larrywho wanted to improve his social position with a bigger salary. Shewasnt like Gladys Claffernone of the richest and most powerful women around. 有一天,克莱尔说她认为自己不聪明。托尼说她说这话一定很不高兴。克莱尔认为机器人给她同情是可笑的,但她逐渐钦佩他的智慧和正直,开始信任他。他总是对她很有尊严。她告诉拉里,她对自己的家不够优雅感到非常不满,拉里想用更高的薪水来提高自己的社会地位。她不像格拉迪斯·克拉芬,她是世界上最富有、最有权势的女人之一。 As a favourTony promised to help Claire make herself more beautiful and herhome more elegant. So Claire borrowed some library books for him to reador ratherscan. She looked at his fingers with wonder as they turned eachpage. How absurdshe thought. He was just a machine. 作为帮助,托尼答应帮助克莱尔使自己更漂亮,使她的家更优雅。所以克莱尔借了一些图书馆的书给他看,或者更确切地说,扫描。她惊奇地看着他的手指翻着每一页。多么荒谬,她想。他只是一台机器。 Tony gave Claire a new hairstyle andimproved her makeup. As he was not allowed to accompany her to the shopshe wrote out a list of things that hewould need for his work on the house. Claire went downtown and bought thesethings. She had an appointment to paint her nailsthen she went into an expensive clothes shop. The saleswoman therewas rude to herso she rang Tony and told him she was being treated badly. He spoketo the womanwho immediately changed her attitude. Claire thanked Tonytelling him that he was adear. As she turned aroundthere stood Gladys Claffern. How awful to be discovered by herClaire thought. By the look on her faceClaire knew that Gladys thought they werein a relationship. After allshe knew Claires husbands name was Larrynot Tony. Although it was completely innocentClaire felt guilty. 托尼给克莱尔换了一个新发型,改善了她的妆容。由于不允许他陪她去商店,他写了一张他在房子里工作所需物品的清单。克莱尔去市区买了这些东西。她约好涂指甲,然后走进一家昂贵的服装店。那里的女售货员对她很粗鲁,所以她打电话给托尼,告诉他她受到了不好的待遇。他和那个女人说话,她立刻改变了态度。克莱尔感谢托尼,告诉他他是个“亲爱的”。她转过身来,格拉迪斯·克拉芬站在那里。克莱尔想,被她发现是多么可怕。从她脸上的表情来看,克莱尔知道格拉迪斯以为他们在谈恋爱。毕竟,她知道克莱尔的丈夫叫拉里,不是托尼。虽然完全是无辜的,克莱尔还是感到内疚。 When Claire got homeshe wept. Gladys was everything Clairewished to be. Tony told her she was being sensitive and was just as good asGladys. He suggested that she invite Gladys and her friends to the house the nightbefore he was to leave and Larry was to return. By that timeTony expected that the housewhich was being completely transformedwould be ready. 克莱尔到家时哭了。格拉迪斯是克莱尔想要的一切。托尼告诉她她很敏感,和格拉迪斯一样好。他建议她在他离开拉里回来的前一天晚上邀请格拉迪斯和她的朋友到家里来。到那时,托尼预计正在完全改造的房子已经准备好了。


Tony worked steadily on the improvements.Claire tried to help by working on a light suspended from the ceilingbut she fell off the ladder. Even thoughTony had been in the next roomhe managed to catch her in time. As he held hershe felt the warmth of his body. Shescreamedpushed him awayand ran to her room. 托尼在不断改进。克莱尔试图帮忙,在天花板上吊着一盏灯,但她从梯子上摔了下来。尽管托尼在隔壁房间,他还是及时抓住了她。当他抱着她时,她感到了他身体的温暖。她尖叫着,把他推开,跑回了自己的房间。 The night of the party arrived. The clockstruck eight. The guests would be arriving soonso Claire dismissed Tony for the rest of the night. At that momentTony took her in his armsbringing his face close to hers. Sheheard him declare that he did not want to leave her the next dayand that he felt more than just thedesire to please her. Then the front door bell rang. 晚会的晚上到了。钟敲了八下。客人很快就要到了,所以克莱尔把托尼打发走了。就在那一刻,托尼把她抱在怀里,把脸贴近她的脸。她听到他宣布他不想第二天离开她,他不仅仅是想取悦她。然后前门的门铃响了。
