(jī)器人會(huì)向她表示同情這有點(diǎn)荒唐可笑。但是她開始信任托尼了。她告訴托尼她太胖了這讓她很不高興。還有對(duì)于像拉里這樣很想提高社會(huì)地位的人來(lái)說(shuō)她的家也不夠高雅。她跟格拉迪斯·克拉芬不一樣格拉迪斯是遠(yuǎn)近聞名的有錢有勢(shì)的女人。托尼為讓克萊爾高興答應(yīng)幫助她使她變得漂亮使她的家變得高雅大方。于是克萊爾從圖書館借來(lái)一堆書給托尼閱讀或者說(shuō)給他瀏覽一下。她驚奇的看著他的手指翻動(dòng)著書頁(yè)忍不住突然伸出手來(lái)摸他的手指。他的手指甲和他那柔軟溫暖的皮膚使她感到大為驚異。她在想這是多么可笑啊,他只不過(guò)是一臺(tái)機(jī)器呀!托尼給克萊爾換了個(gè)發(fā)型又改變了化妝風(fēng)格。因?yàn)椴辉试S托尼陪克萊爾去商店所以托尼就給她寫了一份購(gòu)物清單?？巳R爾進(jìn)城去買了窗簾、坐墊和床上用品。然后她去了一家珠寶店買項(xiàng)鏈。柜臺(tái)售貨員對(duì)她很粗魯她就打電話給托尼讓售貨員同托尼講話。售貨員馬上改變了態(tài)度?？巳R爾對(duì)托尼表示感謝并說(shuō)他是個(gè)“可愛的人”。她剛一轉(zhuǎn)過(guò)身去就看到格拉迪斯·克拉芬站在那兒?？巳R爾想被格拉迪斯發(fā)現(xiàn)了這多么難為情啊從格拉迪斯臉上的那種有趣而又驚奇的神色來(lái)看克萊爾知道格拉迪斯認(rèn)為她有風(fēng)流韻事了。畢竟格拉迪斯知道她的丈夫是拉里而不是托尼?？巳R爾回到家里坐在扶手椅上氣得直哭。格拉迪斯的一舉一動(dòng)都是克萊爾想模仿的。托尼告訴克萊爾說(shuō)你可以同格拉迪斯一樣還建議克萊爾邀請(qǐng)格拉迪斯和她的朋友到家里來(lái)玩時(shí)間就定在托尼離去和拉里回家之前的那個(gè)晚上。托尼想在此之前將房子改裝得煥然一新。托尼有條不紊地搞著裝修?？巳R爾有一次想來(lái)幫忙但是太笨手笨腳了竟從梯子上掉了下來(lái)。盡管托尼當(dāng)時(shí)在隔壁房間里他還是及時(shí)趕過(guò)來(lái)把她接住了。他把她緊緊地?fù)г趹牙锼杏X到了他身上有股暖氣。她尖叫了起來(lái)把他推開跑回她的房里那天她就再也沒有出來(lái)過(guò)。聚會(huì)的那天晚上來(lái)到了。時(shí)鐘敲響八點(diǎn)客人馬上就要到來(lái)了?？巳R爾叫托尼到另一間房里去。就在那一瞬間托尼彎曲胳膊摟著她彎下身去把臉貼近她的臉。她大叫一聲“托尼”然后聽到托尼一本正經(jīng)地說(shuō)明天他不想離開她而且他并不滿足于僅僅使她開心。就在這時(shí)前門的門鈴響了。托尼放開了她消失得無(wú)影無(wú)蹤了。也就在這時(shí)克萊爾才意識(shí)到托尼早就把前邊窗戶的窗簾拉開了。她的客人把這一切看得一清二楚?？巳R爾和他的房子、美食給女士們留下了深刻印象。就在她們離開之前克萊爾聽到格拉迪斯跟另外一個(gè)女人小聲地說(shuō)她從來(lái)沒有見過(guò)像托尼這樣英俊的男人。受到那些女士的妒忌這該是多么甜美的勝利克萊爾也許并沒有她們那樣漂亮但是她們中沒有任何一個(gè)人擁有這樣英俊的情人。這時(shí)候她記起來(lái)了——托尼只不過(guò)是一臺(tái)機(jī)器。她高聲嚷著“讓我獨(dú)自呆一會(huì)兒”就跑上床哭了一個(gè)通宵。第二天早晨開來(lái)一輛汽車把托尼接走了。公司對(duì)托尼同克萊爾相處三個(gè)星期的實(shí)驗(yàn)報(bào)告非常滿意。托尼保護(hù)了一個(gè)人免受傷害他使克萊爾沒有因?yàn)樗氖「卸鴤ψ约?。那天晚上他拉開了窗簾讓其他女人看到了他和克萊爾在一起他明白這么做對(duì)克萊爾的婚姻并不造成危害。但是盡管托尼很聰明他還得作一番改建——總不能讓女人和機(jī)器相愛吧。Reading2ABIOGRAPHYOFISAAC['aiz?k]以撒（希伯來(lái)族長(zhǎng)，猶太人的始祖亞伯拉罕和薩拉的兒子）；艾薩克（男人名）ASIMOV艾薩克·阿西·莫夫傳biography[ba?'?gr?f?]n.傳記；檔案；個(gè)人簡(jiǎn)介IsaacAsimovwasanAmericanscientistandwriterwhowrotearound480bookesthatincludedmystery[?m?stri]stories,scienceandhistorybooks,andevenbooksabouttheHolyBible圣經(jīng)andShakespeare.Butheisbestknownforhissciencefiction['f?k?(?)n]n.小說(shuō)；虛構(gòu)，編造；謊言stories.Asimov
