毫微技术传到我们克利福德福尔斯小镇的时候,我正在园地里除草。一个月以前,市里就有了那玩意儿,不过去年至今我一直没有进城。我的几个邻居去过城里——安吉·迈尔斯和埃玛·卡尔森,还有教会的那个寡妇布兰斯顿太太。她们带回一些纪念品,都是毫微机制造的东西, 安吉向我展示的那条围巾确实精美之极。不过,我有三个孩子拖累,难得出一趟门。 When nanotechnology reached the small town of Clifford Falls, I was weeding the fields. A month ago, there was something in the city, but I have not been in town since last year. Several of my neighbors have been to town - Angie Myers and Emma Carlson, and the widow, Mrs. Branson, of the church. They brought back some souvenirs, all made of nanocomputers, Angie showed me the scarf really beautiful. However, I have three children dragged it hard to get a trip.
