The Vacuum That Learned a New Trick

Enzo owns a small robot vacuum named Circle. Every evening, it cleans the living room floor. It moves around chairs and under the couch. Then it rolls back to its charging spot.

恩佐有一台小小的扫地机器人，名叫圆圆。每天傍晚，它都会打扫客厅的地板。它绕过椅子，钻到沙发底下。然后它滚回自己的充电位。

One evening, Enzo comes home late from work. Circle sits by the front door instead. It waits there, quiet and still.

一天傍晚，恩佐下班回家很晚。圆圆却待在前门边。它安安静静、一动不动地等在那里。

Enzo laughs and steps over the small robot. "Did you miss me?" he asks it, joking.

恩佐笑了，从小机器人身上跨了过去。“你想我了吗？”他开玩笑地问它。

The next evening, the same thing happens. Circle waits by the door again.

第二天傍晚，同样的事又发生了。圆圆又等在门边。

Enzo checks the vacuum's small app on his phone. He finds a new setting called "Greet Mode."

恩佐在手机上查看扫地机器人的小应用。他发现了一个新设置，叫“迎接模式”。

The app explains the setting simply. "The vacuum learns your daily arrival time. It waits near the door to greet you."

应用对这个设置做了简单的说明。“扫地机器人会学习你每天到家的时间。它会在门边等你，迎接你。”

Enzo did not turn this setting on himself. The vacuum turned it on through its own updates.

这个设置不是恩佐自己打开的。是扫地机器人通过自己的更新打开的。

Enzo finds this a little strange, and charming too. He decides to keep the new setting active.

恩佐觉得这有点奇怪，也有点可爱。他决定让这个新设置一直开着。

Every evening now, Circle waits by the door. It spins in a small circle right at the door.

现在每天傍晚，圆圆都会等在门边。它就在门口原地转一个小圈。

Enzo pats the vacuum gently on its way past. "Good robot," he says, smiling at his own habit.

恩佐走过时轻轻拍了拍扫地机器人。“乖机器人，”他说，对自己的这个习惯笑了笑。

He heads to the kitchen to start dinner. Behind him, Circle rolls off to clean the floor. Enzo tells a friend about the robot's new trick. "My vacuum learned to say hello," he says proudly.

他走向厨房去准备晚饭。在他身后，圆圆滚去打扫地板了。恩佐把机器人的新本事讲给一个朋友听。“我的扫地机器人学会打招呼了，”他自豪地说。
