英语话中国China Story
本期文本
在大学校园的小路上，一个白色的小箱子正缓缓前行。
On pathways of university campuses, a white box-shaped robot rolls slowly forward.
它没有司机，却认得每一栋楼；
It has no driver—but knows every building;
它不会说话，却准时送达包裹。
it doesn’t speak—but always delivers on time.
学生收到短信：“您的快递已到宿舍楼下。”
A student gets a message: “Your package has arrived at your dorm.”
下楼一看，机器人正安静等待，
Going downstairs, they find the robot waiting quietly,
打开它的“肚子”，取出快递，关上门——
open its “belly,” take the parcel, and close the door—
任务完成，它转身驶向下一站。
its job done, it turns toward the next stop.
在一些小区，这样的机器人还能送药、送餐，风雨无阻，日夜不停。
In some neighborhoods, these robots also deliver medicine and meals,rain or shine, day or night.
它们不抢人类的工作，而是把人从重复的奔波中解放出来。
They don’t take jobs from people—they free people from repetitive errands.
在这个智能时代，最动人的科技，不是冰冷的机器，而是那些默默服务、带来便利的小小身影。
In this age of intelligence,the most touching technology isn’t cold machines—
but small, quiet helpers that bring ease to daily life.
