After stopping you, he holds a small electronic device（装置）close to his face and speaks slowly into it, saying, in English: “ Can you tell me where I can buy some sauerkraut?”What should you do? (a) Run away; (b) Call the p
36、olice; or (c) Listen closely for the device to say in German, “ Konnen Sie mir bitte sager, which Sauerkraut Kaufen Kann?” The most proper answer would be (c) because the person in front of you is only a tourist trying to enjoy himself. The device is said to be the world s first portable（便携的）transla
37、tor a hand-held microcomputer that at the same time translates one spoken language into another. The four-pound, battery-operated product is called the Voice, and it is the invention of Advanced Products and Technologies, an American electronics company. When the Voice is introduced in the United St
38、ates in late April at a price of 1, 500 it will be used to translate spoken English into Italian, German, French and Spanish.

39、rope soon after the US introduction, with cartridges that translate Italian, German, French and Spanish into English. The Voice uses a microchip（微型集成电路片） to translate languages.

44、 you will see that Americans come from many different lands. The idea that these people, who once were strangers to the United States, have lost the customs and cultures of their original countries and have become “ American” is really not true. In fact, what exists in America is more often a kind o
45、f “ side-by- side ” living in which groups of people from other countries often have kept many of their customs and habits. They join the general American society only in certain areas of their lives such as in schools, business, and sports but they keep many of their own native customs and manners
46、socially and at home. This “ side-by- side ” living has both advantages and disadvantages. Sometimes it may cause disagreements to develop between groups whose ways of life are very different from each other. However, there are also great advantages that come from the variety of cultures brought by
47、settlers from other lands. There is great freedom of choice among ideas and dress, food and social customs in America.
