The spacecraft began to close up. A low hum filled the air. WALL · E suddenly remembered—he was under a ship! The hum was coming from the ship’s engines, which were now roaring to life. It was time to take cover again. WALL · E dug another hole in the ground and jumped into it.
When the smoke cleared, WALL · E once again raised his head. He looked up and saw EVE. She was circling over the desolate bay. As she swooped and darted like a hummingbird, she emitted a blue ray from her front panel and scanned the terrain. WALL · E scrambled out of the hole and quickly found a boulder to hide behind. He watched EVE continue to scan random objects, occasionally doing a loop in the sky. She zoomed past WALL · E’s rock. Frightened yet enchanted, the rusty and dented WALL · E unit kept watching this sleek new state-of-the-art robot. This was love.
太空飞船开始关闭舱门。空气中充斥着低沉的嗡嗡声。瓦力突然记起来他正待在一艘飞船下面，而那嗡嗡声是飞船引擎发出的轰鸣声，飞船的引擎开始运转了！他该再一次躲藏起来！瓦力又在地上挖了个坑，跳了进去。
烟雾散去，瓦力再一次抬起头来向上望去。他抬头看见了伊芙。她正盘旋在荒凉的海湾上方。她像蜂鸟一样猛地向前俯冲，她胸前的面板上发射出一道蓝光扫描这一地区。瓦力挣扎着从坑里爬出来，迅速找到一块巨石藏在它后面。他看着伊芙继续随机扫描物品，时不时在空中绕一个圈。她高速飞过瓦力藏身的巨石。浑身锈迹斑斑、坑坑洼洼的瓦力有点害怕，却又醉心于她，他一直看着这个造型优美、技术先进的新型机器人。这就是爱。

你可能听说过泰坦尼克号，但实际上它只是当时最先进的三艘海轮之一。这个词起源于20世纪，是由一个宾夕法尼亚大学工程系的研究生 （an engineering graduate from University of Pennsylvania）Henry Harrison Suplee在他关于汽轮机的设计制造中 （Gas Turbine: progress in the design and construction of turbines operated by gases of combustion）论文中所创造的。
他在文章中写道：
"In the present state-of-the-art this is all that can be done".
Art一词在这个短语中指的是实用技术、技能和方法与实践科目，如生产和工艺，而不是普通意义上的表演艺术和美术。
The term, "art", itself refers to the useful arts, skills and methods relating to practical subjects such as manufacture and craftsmanship, rather than in the sense of the performing arts and the fine arts.
由于反复使用，所以这个词被沿袭下来，后来也被大家广泛使用。 State of the art（没有"-" ）指的是“技术现状；技术发展水平 ”，state-of-the-art指的是“前沿技术的；技术先进的 ”。
