As a result, the modern world is increasinglypopulated by intelligent gizmos whose presencewe barely notice but whose universal existence hasremoved much human labor. 译文:结果是,现代世界已经日益充斥着智能装置,虽然我们几乎注意不到它们,但它们的普遍存盘已经节省了许多劳力。 点睛:本句的主干为. . .the...world is…populated byintelligent gizmos.。其后由but连接两个whose引导的定语从句,修饰先行词intelligent gizmos,whose在从句中作定语。句首的as a result是整个句子的状语。
gizmo意为“机械装置;小玩意”。
populate意为“居住予”,例如:
The town is heavily populated by immigrants.
该镇居住着很多外来移民。
