He seemed a mere automaton, galvanized into moving and speaking by the wayward Eustacia's will.

仿佛只是一个机器人，言行举动全由苔莎反复无常的意志来驱动。

The red automaton opposite lapsed into silence, nodded, and followed his example.

坐在对面的红色机器人陷入沉思，点点头，按韦狄的数目下了注。

He treated her with the strictest politeness, but with the precision of an automaton, the movements of which had been arranged for this purpose.

对艾娥达夫人严格遵守着一礼节上的责，但是在履行这些责总是带着作为一个死板板的绅士所固有的那关心和令人摸不透的心情，的一切举止都是用来表现这心情的。

本来有可能是一个阿拉伯人，或一个机器人；要不是摇骰子盒胳膊有动作，简直会让人觉得是座红色的沙岩雕像了。

Well, I'd been thinking about a cellular automata approach to neuronal connectivity, and I thought it might have some interesting applications to string theory-- it's not a big deal.

我最近在思考通过元胞自动机来研究神经元连接，然后我觉得这可能对弦理论研究有些不错的用途。小忙不值得一提啦。
