In recent years, companies have begun to design robots as toys for children. These toys have become so popular that people are worried about the effects (影响) of friendships between robots and children.
In 1940, Isaac Asimov wrote a story called *Robbie*. In the story, a girl made friends with a robot and her mother was worried about their friendship. At the end of the story, the robot saved the girl's life and her mother changed her ideas on the robot. In real life, there are also different ideas about humans being friends with robots.
Some people are worried because children might believe that robots are humans, not machines. It may seem strange that we can make friends with a machine, but just think of the friendly robots in science fiction (科幻小说), from WALL - E to R2 - D2. Could close relationships with a robot confuse (迷惑) children?
Some people think it's possible. In the past, children would play with lifeless toys. But today's robots are designed to express feelings in a human way, and some are able to play with children. When children say they don't want to play, the robots will show their sadness. Also, they show ▲ when they do well in games.
In fact, there's a real danger that humans forget that robots are not humans. In an experiment (实验), researchers in Germany invited 89 people to interact (互动) with a robot and then turn it off. When they finished the interaction, the robot asked half of the people not to turn it off. These people hesitated (犹豫) before they did so and 13 of them agreed to keep it on!
Sometimes robots may make good friends for us. But let's not forget—they aren't living beings and they don't have feelings. At least, not yet.

近年来,一些公司开始将机器人设计成儿童玩具。这些玩具变得如此受欢迎,以至于人们开始担心机器人和孩子之间的友谊会产生什么影响。
1940年,艾萨克·阿西莫夫写了一个名为《罗比》的故事。在这个故事中,一个女孩和一个机器人交了朋友,她的母亲对她们的友谊感到担忧。在故事的结尾,机器人救了女孩的命,她的母亲改变了对机器人的看法。在现实生活中,对于人类与机器人交朋友也有不同的看法。
一些人很担心,因为孩子们可能会认为机器人是人类,而不是机器。我们能和一台机器交朋友,这可能看起来很奇怪,但想想科幻小说中那些友好的机器人,从瓦力到R2 - D2。与机器人的亲密关系会迷惑孩子吗?
一些人认为这是有可能的。在过去,孩子们会玩没有生命的玩具。但如今的机器人被设计成以人类的方式表达情感,有些还能和孩子们一起玩耍。当孩子们说他们不想玩的时候,机器人会表现出悲伤。而且,当它们在游戏中表现出色时,它们会表现出▲。
事实上,人类确实有忘记机器人不是人类的危险。在一项实验中,德国的研究人员邀请了89个人与一个机器人互动,然后关掉它。当他们完成互动后,机器人请求一半的人不要关掉它。这些人在这么做之前犹豫了,其中13个人同意让它开着!
有时候机器人可能会成为我们的好朋友。但我们不要忘记——它们不是生物,也没有感情。至少现在还没有。
