Question

14．Robots aren't only in the movies or on TV．One"real"robot recently married a couple at a wedding ceremony in Tokyo，Japan．
 Fifty guests stood as the music played and the bride（新娘）walked down towards the groom
（新郎）．Only one guest stayed seated-the minister（牧师），who happened to be a robot．For this special ceremony，the four-foot tall robot named I-Fairy wore flowers around her head．I-Fairy's eyes flashed colored lights as she pronounced the couple man-and-wife and asked the groom to kiss the bride．The wedding was the first time a marriage had been led by a robot，according to the company that built I-Fairy．
 A robot might seem like an unusual choice（选择）to lead a wedding，but if you knew the couple you would think I-Fairy was the perfect choice．That's because the groom teaches robotics at a university and the bride works for the company that built I-Fairy．The newly married couple hopes their wedding will encourage more uses for robots．They hope their wedding will give people ideas about ways in which they might use robots to do"everyday things"in their lives in the near future．

Answer 1

分析 机器人不仅仅在电影或者电视上，最近一个"真的"机器人在日本东京为一对夫妇举行了婚礼．音乐响起五十个宾客站起来了，新娘走向新郎．只有一个宾客是坐着的---牧师，碰巧他是个机器人．为了这个特别的仪式，四英尺高的叫做 I-Fairy机器人将花环戴在她的头上，就在她宣布这对机器人成为夫妇，并且新郎可以吻新娘的时候 I-Fairy的眼睛闪着彩色的光．在制造 I-Fairy的公司，这是第一个由机器人主持的婚礼．
机器人可能像是一个主持婚礼的不平常的选择，但是如果你知道这对夫妇你就会认为 I-Fairy是完美的选择．那是因为新郎在大学教机器人学，新娘在制作I-Fairy的机器人公司工作．这对新夫妇希望他们的婚礼能鼓励更多的人用机器人，他们希望他们的婚礼能给人们更多的关于在不远的将来用机器人做生活中的一切事情的想法．
