Born in Russia，Isaac Asimov moved to America with his parents when he was three，where he spent the rest of his life. He had both an extraordinary imagination and an amazing mind, with which he could explore the future world, and most of his science fiction stories were based on this.
What’s more, he liked choosing robots as his characters in his stories，among which I，Robot is the most famous. Not only did he like writing，but also he fulfilled his studies and got his PhD in chemistry in 1948，which made him become a biochemistry teacher at Boston University the next year. All in all, Asimov was a man of many talents，who encouraged us to work hard to realize our dreams.
汉语大意：艾萨克·阿西莫夫出生于俄国，三岁随父母移居美国，并在那里度完余生。他有着异乎寻常的想象力和令人惊奇的睿智，这使得他能够探测未来世界，而他的很多科幻小说也是以此为背景的。并且，他的小说主角一般都是机器人，其中最著名的当属《机械公敌》。在创作的同时，他也完成了自己的学业，并于1948年获得化学博士学位，这也使得他次年在波士顿大学谋得教师一职。总之，阿西莫夫是一个多才多艺的人，他的成就激励着我们每个人努力工作去实现自己的梦想。 * * *
