问题:Do you think that robots will replace human workers in the future?
A large portion of them, yes. I think robots will do a lot of the unskilled, repetitive labor that requires little to no professional knowledge, since robots are good at repeating the same actions over and over again. Like, assembly line workers can be replaced by fully automated machinery, and a lot of warehouses can use robots to move their stock around. In fact, a lot of companies are already switching to robotic operation, so this trend will definitely continue in the future. However, I don’t think that robots can replace human workers in creative jobs like music composer and fashion designer. These kind of jobs still require a human mind to create and innovate, and our artificial intelligence hasn’t even come close to replicating a creative human mind yet.

repetitive adj. 重复的 (也可以指人说话很啰嗦)
automated adj. 自动化的 (fully automated表示全自动化)
warehouse n. 仓库 (来自于ware+house的复合词)
stock n. 库存 (美式英语则用inventory)
innovate v. 创新 (注意innovation和innovative)

高分表达:
over and over again 反复地 (用在句尾作修饰)
assembly line 流水线 (工厂的生产线,字面意思)
move sth around 移来移去 (move可换成任何造成移动的动词)
artificial intelligence 人工智能 (字面意思,科技类话题必备词)
haven’t even come close to 离...还早得很 (指进度上还早得很,不指距离)
那么这就是我们今天所有的内容,今天讲的Part3问题是,机器人在未来会取代人力劳动吗?
