The term "bionic man" was the stuff of science fiction in the 1970s, when a popular TV show called "The Six Million Dollar Man" chronicled the adventures of Steve Austin, a former astronaut whose body was rebuilt using artificial parts after he nearly died. “生化人”这个概念来自于20世纪70年代的一部名为《六百万美金的男人》（又名《无敌金刚》）的科幻小说。书中描述了前宇航员史蒂夫·奥斯汀在濒死之际，被医生们用人造组织移植救活的冒险故事。 Now, a team of engineers has assembled a robot using artificial organs, limbs and other body parts that comes tantalizingly close to a true "bionic man." For real, this time. 如今，有一个工程师团队用人造器官、人造四肢等等组装了一个电子人。这个机器人与科幻小说中的生化人极其相似足以乱真。这次它不是出现在书里，而是在现实生活中。 The artificial "man" is the subject of a Smithsonian Channel documentary that airs Sunday, Oct. 20 at 9 p.m. Called "The Incredible Bionic Man," it chronicles engineers' attempt to assemble a functioning body using artificial parts that range from a working kidney and circulation system to cochlear and retina implants. 美国史密森尼美国博物馆电视台专门为这个人造“人”制作了一集纪录片，名为《不可思议的生化人》，纪录片将于10月20日晚上9点播出。在这部纪录片里，我们将看到工程师们是如何利用各种人造组织，例如活动的肾脏、循环系统、乃至移植的耳蜗和视网膜来组装起一副正常运转的身体。 |
