| 25% doubt Obama was born in U.S. |
奧巴馬不是美國人？ |
| The theory that the president was not born in the U.S. has nagged him since the 2008 presidential campaign. Recently, a CNN poll indicated some Americans continue to have doubt, CNN reported. According to the poll, more than a quarter of the public have doubts about Obama's citizenship, with 11 percent saying Obama was definitely not born in the United States. A group of true believers have pressed the idea that Obama was born in another country -- some say in his father's homeland of Kenya. By their claims, Obama is constitutionally ineligible to serve as president. Last August, the White House released the president's birth certificate to refute the rumor. But a newspaper in Hawaii said it was a copy. It was suggested that it was easy to fake a birth certificate from the '60s. |
據美國有線電視新聞網報道，自從08年奧巴馬競選總統以來，關于他是不是在美國本土出生的問題就一直被熱議。近期，一項美國有線電視新聞網的民調顯示，現在仍有一些美國人持懷疑態度。據此調查，超過四分之一的美國公民懷疑奧巴馬的公民身份，其中11%的人肯定奧巴馬不是在美國出生的。一部分人相信奧巴馬出生于別的國家，可能是他父親的家鄉肯尼亞。那么根據此說法，奧巴馬就是非法在任。去年8月，美國白宮曾發布總統奧巴馬的出生證以辟謠。但一份夏威夷當地報紙則稱，此出生證并非原本。有人稱，現在要偽造上世紀60年代的出生證簡直易如反掌。 |

| 1st robot able to show emotions |
有情緒變化的機器人面世 |
| A European research team has developed the world's first robot, Nao, that can develop and display emotions, the Guardian reported. When Nao is sad, he hunches his shoulders forward and looks down. When he's happy, he raises his arms, angling for a hug. When frightened, Nao cowers, and he stays like that until he is soothed with some gentle strokes on his head. He can form bonds with the people he meets depending on how he's treated. The more he interacts with someone, the more Nao learns a person's moods and the stronger the bond becomes. |
英國《衛報》報道，歐洲一研究小組已研發出世界上首臺可以產生并展示情緒變化的機器人。該機器人取名為“Nao”。悲傷時，他會聳肩垂頭；高興時會展開手臂做擁抱狀；害怕時他會蜷縮起來，直到有人輕撫他的頭部為止。他可以根據別人怎么對待他來決定如何和他們相處。他和某人“交流”越多，對這個人的情緒就越了解，關系也越好。 |
