Unit 1 MECHATRONICS Section I Dialogue - Could you tell me something about “mechatronics” [,mek?tr?niks]？ -你能告诉我一些关于“机电一体化”的东西吗? -Sure. Mechatronics is a term for the integration [,intiɡrei??n] of mechanical [mik?nik?l] and electronic engineering [,end?ini?ri?]. -当然可以。机电一体化是一个综合了机械和电子工程的术语。 - It sounds like a new concept [k?nsept]. -这听起来像是一个新概念。 -I don’t think so. In fact, mechatronics was coined by the Japanese 40 years ago and has been widely used in the world for many years. And mechatronic devices [divais] have become common on our society. -我不这么认为。事实上, 日本40年前提出机电一体化的概念,并且已经在世界范围内广泛使用多年。在我们的社会，机电设备变的很普遍。 -You mean mechatronic devices have crept into our everyday life? -你的意思是机电一体化设备已经悄悄进入我们日常生活？Right. Don’t you notice that the devices such as photocopiers [,f?ut?uk?pi?]，computer disk drives, robots [r?ub?t] and clothes dryers being used in our daily [deili] life? -对的。你没注意到在我们的日常生活中，复印机、计算机磁盘驱动器、机器人和衣服烘干机这些设备的使用吗? -I’ve got it. I didn’t know they were mechatronic devices before. 我明白了，我以前并不知道他们是机电设备。 Section II Reading Getting a Hold on Mechatronics 了解机电一体化 Mechatronics is a blend [blend] of mechanics [mik?niks] and electronics. 机电一体化是机械学和电子学的结合。 It has come to mean the synergistic [,sin?d?istik] use of mechanical engineering, control theory[θi?ri], computer science, and sensor and actuator [?ktjueit?] technology to design improved products and processes [pr?uses]. 意味着机械工程、控制理论、计算机科学、传感器和执行机构技术的综合应用，以设计出更好的产品和工艺。The standard [st?nd?d] clothes dryer is typically [tipik?li] controlled by a mechanical timer. 标准控制干衣机是典型的通过机械定时器控制。 The user adjusts the timer according to the size and dampness of the load. 用户根据负荷的大小和湿度调整定时器。 If the timing device is not set properly [pr?p?li], the drying cycle may be too short and the laundry [l?:ndri] may come out wet, or the machine could run long and waste energy [en?d?i].如果计时装置设置不，干燥周期可能太短，洗出来潮湿，或机器运行长，浪费能源。 A clothes dryer, however, might be fitted with a sensor-based feedback system that lets the machine measure the m
