Female Android Debuts in S. Korea

能说会笑的机器人

These school-age tots(小孩)seem to be making friends with EveR-1, a female android(机器人)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(发动机)underneath her silicon(硅元素)skin allow her to express a limited range of emotions, and a 400-word vocabulary(词汇)enables her to hold a simple conversation.

韩国的小孩子们正在和机器人EveR-1“交朋友”。EveR-1是个女性形象的机器人，本月它在韩国首次亮相。EveR-1被设计为一个20来岁的韩国年轻女性的形象，它的.皮肤是由硅材料制作而成的，面部能够做出一定的表情，还能进行简单的对话，它的皮肤下面有15台发动机为其提供动力。

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(不能移动的).

机器人EveR-1的体重为100磅(合50公斤)，如果能够站立的话，它的身高为5英尺3英寸(合160厘米)。EveR-1的胳膊和手能够自由移动，但是它的腿部是固定不动的。
