大学英语：Most of today's robots are employed

　　1. Most of today's robots are employed in the automotive industry, where they are programmed to take over such jobs as welding and spray painting automobile and truck bodies. (p2)

　　翻译：今天大多数机器人用于汽车工业，它们按照编好的程序接任了汽车和卡车车身的焊接和喷漆这一类的工作。

　　分析：该句的考点是where引导的非限定性定语从句，修饰in the automotive industry。另外请注意几个词的用法：employ: v 雇佣，使用，相当于use; program: v 编写程序;take over: 接管、接收、接任，如：Do you want me to take over the driving if you are tired?

　　such...as例如，welding and spray painting是动名词，做宾语。

　　2. Robots, already taking over human tasks in the automotive field, are beginning to be seen , although to a lesser degree, in other industries as well. (p3)

　　翻译：除了在汽车生产领域替代人工劳动外，机器人也开始在别的工业部门应用，虽然应用程度低一些。

　　分析：该句考点如下：already taking over human tasks in the automotive field是现在分词短语做定语;to be seen不定式的被动概念;although to a lesser degree让步状语，to a lesser degree是表示：在更小的程度上，反义词：to a larger degree.
