[資訊] 太空人卡卡 虛驚一場: Robotics shutdown briefly strands a
一、太空人不想當女神卡卡，不過，他是自己真的被卡在外太空，所幸虛驚一場。
二、A robotic system shutdown interrupted Monday's spacewalk outside the
International Space Station, leaving an astronaut stuck with an 800-pound
pump in his hands for nearly a half-hour. Good thing it was weightless. The
problem arose at the two-hour mark when a work station controlling the robot
arm shut down. The astronauts operating the arm inside the space station
rushed to another computer station and got it working again.
三、多益英檢文法整理:
1. robotic(adj):機器的，shutdown(N):倒閉、停止運轉，interrupt(V):中斷，
spacewalk(N):太空漫步，International Space Station:國際太空站，astronaut(N):太
空人，stick(V):黏住，pump(N): 泵，weightless(adj):無重量的，arise(V):產生，
operate(V):操作。
2.shutdown:關係，等於
closing，shutdown這種字可以跟breakdown(分解、故障)、countdown(倒數)、letdown(
鬆弛、失望)、lockdown(鎖定)、meltdown(融化)、slowdown(變慢)、touchdown(觸地、
降落)一起記。
3. operating profit:營業利潤，operating profit ratio:營業利益率，operating
room:手術室，例如: The company’s operating profit rose to $ 2 million in the
last quarter as gross revenue increased 32 per cent in several markets. (公司
去年最後一季的營業利潤增加到200萬美金，其中在數個市場的毛收益也成長32％。)
