Female Android Debuts in S. Korea

　　能說會笑的機器人

　　These school-age tots(小孩)seem to be making friends with EveR-1, a female android(機器人)that made her debut this month in South Korea. EveR-1 is designed to resemble a Korean female in her early 20s, according to a KITECH press release. Fifteen motors(發動機)underneath her silicon(硅元素)skin allow her to express a limited range of emotions, and a 400-word vocabulary(詞匯)enables her to hold a simple conversation.

　　韓國的小孩子們正在和機器人EveR-1“交朋友”。EveR-1是個女性形象的機器人，本月它在韓國首次亮相。EveR-1被設計為一個20來歲的韓國年輕女性的形象，它的皮膚是由硅材料制作而成的，面部能夠做出一定的表情，還能進行簡單的對話，它的皮膚下面有15臺發動機為其提供動力。

　　The android weighs 110 pounds (50 kilograms) and would stand 5 feet, 3 inches (160 centimeters) tall—if she could stand. EveR-1 can move her arms and hands, but her lower half is immobile(不能移動的).

　　機器人EveR-1的體重為100磅(合50公斤)，如果能夠站立的話，它的身高為5英尺3英寸(合160厘米)。EveR-1的胳膊和手能夠自由移動，但是它的腿部是固定不動的。
