  俗话说“条条大路通罗马”,背诵

  机器人厨师的英文表达是robot chef。你想拥有一个机器人吗?它能熟练地切剁、搅拌、浇汁,几乎能做你喜欢吃的一切东西。让你不用请人,不用动手,轻轻松松享受到各种美食,这样的厨师谁不爱呢?

  Picture the scene: You come home after work feeling too exhausted to cook —— only to find a delicious meal worthy of a Michelin-starred restaurant waiting for you.

  It sounds like a fantasy, but it could be about to come true thanks to a robot chef developed by British scientists.

  According to the creators, it can recreate almost anything you would care to eat, whether it is a simple home-cooked supper, or an elaborate concoction designed by a world-class chef.

  The device will be sold from as early as 2017 as part of a purpose-built high-tech kitchen, priced at around £10,000, which includes an oven, hob, dishwasher and sink.

  想象一下这个画面:下班回家倍感疲倦不想做饭——却发现可以和米其林星级餐厅的食物媲美的美味饭菜在等你食用。

  听起来像做白日梦,但很快就能实现了,这得归功于英国科学家发明的机器人厨师 。

  据其创造者说,它几乎能做你喜欢吃的一切东西,不管是一顿简单的家常便饭,还是一顿世界级厨师水平的精美料理。

  这套设备作为高科技厨房用具的一部分,最早2017年上市,市价约1万英镑,包括烤箱、炉盘、洗碗机和水槽。

  【讲解】

  文中的robot chef就是“机器人厨师”的意思,其中chef是名词,多指(餐馆、酒店等的)“大厨,主厨”,如:celebrated chef(名厨);而cook指以做饭为职业的人或普通的厨师,如:We dismissed the cook because her cooking was so poor. (我们解雇了厨师,因为她的烹饪技术太差。)

  第二段中的fantasy作名词,多指与现实完全脱节,稀奇古怪的幻想,如:the world of fantasy(幻想的世界)
