MAL USO DEL TRADUCTOR Y EL DICCIONARIO
El uso del traductor o el diccionario puede llevarnos a graves errores. Los dos son como la energía nuclear. Todo depende del uso que hagamos con ella. Si estamos haciendo una redacción deberemos emplear siempre expresiones o giros que conozcamos y asegurarnos que tenemos el término que queremos emplear.
Dos ejemplos reales.

PLATO
Platón
You can read TIPOS UNICOS in English and in Spanish free in "20 MINUTOS" newspaper, which is offered free in the morning outside Acacias Undergound. Next issue wil be 18 Feb.Don't miss it!!
Despite having lived in the 5th C. BC, Plato is still a pivotal character in western civilization.
His elegance and conciseness as a writer are evident in his dialogues that involved his teacher Socrates and others. The Apology about Socrates trial) and the Republic (about justice) are his most famous pieces. Plato's dialogues are about ethics, law, rhetoric math, logic, natural science and more. He touched on all the problems that philosophers have contemplated since then. Interestingly he hardly wrote anything about himself, thus very little is known about his life. He travelled around the Mediterranean learning and teaching. While in Syracuse, the cruel and suspicious emperor sold Plato into slavery He was later released when an admirer bought his freedom. At about 40 years old, Plato retuned to Athens and set up the Academy, which is considered the first university in the west He Ied and taught there for4óyears though none of his lectures were published. The Academy was closed 900 years later by a Byzantine emperor who thought it was a threat to the spread of Christianity As Socrates was Plato's mentor, Plato was Aristotle’s. The three laid the foundation of philosophy as we understand it today They disdained opinion based on perception of the material world; they preferred immutable Forms that constitute real
and provide truth, order and wisdom. For Plato, these were the only way to virtue and ethics in a constantly changing world.

I, ROBOT
Dr. Susan Calvin, a pioneer in the field of robotics, answers questions put to her by an unnamed Interviewer, who is also the narrator of all the linking sections. The Interviewer recalls the circumstances surrounding the growth of the robotics industry and the instrumental role Calvin played in designing both robots and the business of manufacturing and distributing them. Questions indicate that he's more interested in the human side of Calvin, who half jokingly refers to how people have described her as a robot and whom narration reveals has a cool, calculating penetrating manner.
Three Laws of Robotics:
1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey orders given to it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or the Second Law.
