For Texas cattleman Pete Bonds, it’s increasingly difficult to find workers interested in watching cattle. But Bonds doesn't believe a robot is right for the job. Years of experience in the industry — and failed attempts to use technology — have convinced him that the best way to check cattle is with a man on a horse. Bonds, who bought his first cattle almost 50 years ago, still has each of his cowboys inspect 300 or 400 cattle daily and look for signs that an animal is getting sick.
对于得克萨斯州的牧民皮特·邦兹来说，要找到对放牧感兴趣的员工越来越难了。但是邦兹认为，机器人不适合这项工作。多年的行业经验和使用技术的失败尝试让他相信，放牛的最好方式是让人骑在马上（随时查看）。将近50年前，邦兹购买了第一头牛。现在，他仍让他的牛仔每人检查300到400头牛，以寻找它们生病的迹象。

语篇用例
At the Tokyo International Forum, Guo, in her first appearance at the Paralympics, successfully lifted 105kg in her first attempt, breaking the previous Paralympic record of 104kg. In her second attempt, the Chinese powerlifter started to challenge her own world record of 107kg but failed to raise 108kg. After quick and swift adjustment, she succeeded in her third attempt for a fresh world record, which did not stop her from pursuing a higher target. Guo applied for a fourth attempt, which would not count for this match according to Paralympic rules, and astonishingly lifted 109kg, refreshing the world record once again.
