機器寵物A Fun for Everyone
Bark！Bark！Beep Boop！

你認為完美寵物就是柔軟、毛茸茸又忠實的那種嗎?
容易照顧且又不會到處搗亂的寵物你覺得如何?
有了機器寵物，這兩種好處你都能獲得!
未來寵物機寵物是人造機器寵物的簡稱；它不是真正的動物，不過看起來跟真的一樣。
機器寵物通常也有著一身柔軟的毛。
不過，如果真的貓狗會讓你打噴嚏也不用擔心，因為機器寵物的假毛完全不會誘發過敏。
這些電池驅動寵物能做很多真的寵物會做的事。
它們會吠叫或發出低沈嗚鳴聲、會玩遊戲，還會許多其他事!
總之，對需要朋友的人來說，它們會是忠實的陪伴者·
當然，機器寵物無法完全取代動物的地位。
機器會受限於程式編寫指令執行特定動作；不過，這項科技技術也在日漸修正改善中。
不久，要區別機器寵物和真正動物之間的不同可能就會有點困難了
Is your idea of a perfect pet one that is soft, furry and loving? How about one that is easy to care for and won't make a mess? You can have both with a robo-pet! The pet of the future A robo-pet, short for robotic pet, is not a real animal, but it looks like one. It's also often covered in soft fur. But don't worry if real cats or dogs make you sneeze. The fake fur on robo-pets is allergy-friendly.
These battery-powered pets can do many things that a real pet can do. They bark or purr, play games and more! In short, they can be a loving companion for someone who needs a friend.
Of course, robots can't totally take the furry place of animals. Robots are limited in what they can be programmed to do. But this technology is improving. Soon, it may be difficult to tell the difference between a robo-pet and the real thing.
