Ready for Tomorrow?
Host: Good evening, everyone! Our guest today is Dr Pete Roberts, author of the best - selling book Ready for
Tomorrow. So welcome to our show, Dr Roberts.
Guest: Good evening. Thank you, it's a pleasure to be here.
Host: Dr Roberts, thank you for joining us. So, as a futurist, can you tell us how life will be different in 50 years?

Guest: Well, you'll see robots working everywhere.
Host: Can you give us some examples?
Guest: Well, we'll have service robots. They will do almost all our housework. They will also help save lives when
disasters and emergencies happen.
Host: So, what jobs will humans still do in the future?
Guest: Good question! Some jobs today will disappear in the coming years. However, there will be more
challenging jobs in the future, such as space pilots and AI experts.
Host: Do you think robots will replace humans one day?
Guest: No, I don't. Our creativity and emotional intelligence are important for relationships. AI will not replace
humans for these things.
Host: You mentioned AI. How will AI change our world?
Guest: It will change the world in many ways. For example, we won't need to go to the supermarket. Smart
refrigerators will understand our needs. When we are almost out of some food, they will order it for us.
Host: Wow, that'll save us a lot of time! Now, my last question: How can we prepare for the future?
Guest: It's simple. Just accept change. Keep learning and working hard. Today's choices will influence your future.
Host: Thank you for your time, Dr Roberts.
准备好迎接明天了吗？
主持人：大家晚上好！我们今天的嘉宾是畅销书《明日准备》的作者彼得·罗伯茨博士。欢迎来到我们的节
目，罗伯茨博士。
晚上好，谢谢，很高兴来到这里。
主持人：罗伯茨博士，感谢您接受我们的采访。那么，作为一位未来学家，您能否告诉我们50 年后的生
活将会有什么不同？
客人：嗯，你会看到机器人到处工作。
主持人：你能给我们举一些例子吗？
客人：嗯，我们将拥有服务机器人。它们将做我们几乎所有的家务。当灾难和紧急情况发生时，它们也将
帮助拯救生命。
主持人：那么，人类将来还会做哪些工作呢？
嘉宾：好问题！今天的一些工作将在未来几年消失。然而，未来会有更具挑战性的工作，比如太空飞行员
和人工智能专家。
主持人：你认为机器人有一天会取代人类吗？
嘉宾：不，我不这么认为。我们的创造力和情商对人际关系很重要。人工智能不会取代人类在这些方面的
作用。
主持人：您提到了人工智能，那么人工智能将如何改变我们的世界？
嘉宾：它将从许多方面改变世界。例如，我们不需要去超市了。智能冰箱会理解我们的需求。当我们快要
吃光某些食物时，它们会为我们订购。
主持人：哇，这可帮我们省了不少时间！现在，我的最后一个问题：我们怎样才能为未来做好准备？

嘉宾：很简单，接受变化，不断学习，努力工作。今天的抉择将影响你的未来。
主持人：感谢您抽出时间，罗伯茨博士。
Reading Plus
Looking into the Future
Are you curious about the future? What do you think our life will be like in 50 years or more? To answer this,
you can read a sci-fi book. Perhaps you will have some ideas then. Today, many young readers are interested in
science fiction. But what makes it so popular?
For one thing, science fiction gives us a chance to imagine what our future will be like. Anything is possible.
We can dream big. Some people think there will be flying cars and robot servants. Others believe we will learn
more about strange aliens and other worlds. Another reason is that sci-fi writers and their work can inspire us to
create the future. In 1945, a sci-fi author named Arthur C.Clarke wrote about a system of space stations. In the
article, he predicted the earth of the future would have many TV stations and people would send TV programmes
around the world. However, this was before TV was a common item at home! ln a short story by Clarke, he
suggested people in the future would use a system to talk with others around the world. Amazingly, the short story
was actually the inspiration for the internet!
Science fiction is also popular because it can make us think about our world in new ways. Although many
sci-fi stories are set in imaginary worlds or societies, they can help us better understand the real world. They can
also make us excited when we feel like we are living in a boring world.
What will the future be like? Sci-fi inspires us and helps us to understand what it could be like.
展望未来
你对未来感到好奇吗？你认为50 年或更久以后我们的生活会是什么样子？
要回答这
个问题，你可以读科幻小说。也许那时你会有一些想法今天，许多年轻读者对科幻小说感兴趣。但它是如
何如此受欢迎的呢？
首先，科幻小说给了我们想象未来的机会。一切皆有可能。我们可以梦想。有些人认为会有会飞的汽
车和机器人仆人。其他人认为我们会更多地了解奇怪的外星人和其他世界。另一个原因是科幻作家和他们
的作品可以激励我们创造未来。1945 年，科幻作家阿瑟·c·克拉克写了一篇关于空间站系统的文章。
在文章中，他预言未来的地球将有许多电视台，人们将向世界各地发送电视节目。
然而，这还是在电视成为家庭常见物品之前！在克拉克的一篇短篇小说中，他建议未来的人们会使用一个
系统与世界各地的人交谈。令人惊讶的是，这篇短篇小说实际上是互联网的灵感来源！
科幻小说也很受欢迎，因为它能让我们以新的方式思考我们的世界。虽然许多科幻故事都设定在虚构
的世界或社会中，但它们可以帮助我们更好地理解现实世界。当我们觉得自己生活在一个无聊的世界时，
它们也能让我们感到兴奋。
未来会是什么样子？科幻小说激励我们，帮助我们明白未来可能是什么样子的。
