星际动物园

8 造出了一只动物|8 An animal is made

属类： 双语小说 【分类】魔幻小说 -[作者: 吉尔伯特] 阅读：[3472]
简介：人类是地球这颗行星上的成功动物。所谓成功，是指在与其他动物的斗争中取得的成功。在争夺食物或土地的问题上，我们人类战无不胜。我们砍伐树木，修建房屋或工厂，自己种植粮食。其他动物不得不去另找其他的地方生活——如果它们能找着的话。
我们人类战无不胜是因为我们智力发达。我们会思想，会说话，会使用工具，会制造精妙的机器。我们是再聪明不过的动物……
也许聪明过头了。也许将来的人们会有不同的想法。蜂鸟(简称蜂儿)是一个生活在公元22500年的16岁姑娘，她住在离地球很远很远的一颗行星上。她喜欢漂亮的衣服，喜欢跳舞，还为自己将嫁给谁而忐忑不安。她从来没有见过树。什么动物啊、鸟啊她从来没有见过。当然，她知道什么是动物，因为在《往事追忆》这本书中有动物的故事。但谁会相信那种老掉牙的故事呢?
作者简介：本书的作者，哈里·吉尔伯特，是住在伦敦的一位教师。这是他的第八本书，也是他为学习英语的学生写的第一本

从照看婴儿到制造飞船，机器人能做许许多多不同的工作。除了思维，它无所不能。星际动物园的电脑是唯一能思维的。

1
-

Arobot can do many different things from taking care of a baby to building a spaceship.It can do anything except think.The Star Zoo computer was the only one that could think.

2
-

没问题，我的家用机器人可以造一个机器动物，轻而易举。没有问题。

2
-

Well， our family robot could build a robot animal， easily. That was no problem.

3
-

我们先得选择制造什么动物，于是我们在星际动物园走了一圈，把所有动物都看一看。“嘻嗬”驮着我，“呼呜”陪着我们。机器人跟在后面。

3
-

First we had to choose what animal to make， so we went round the Star Zoo to look at all.the animals.Hee-Haw carried me and Hoo-Woo came with us.The robot followed.

4
-

我弄不清星际动物园有多少房间，我无法全数过来。有的房间装着水，里面养着大鱼和小鱼。水下面还有可怕的怪物在行走，让我又觉得有点害怕。

4
-

I don’t know how many rooms the Star Zoo had; I couldn’t count them all.Some rooms were filled with water where there were big fish and small fish.There were horrible monsters walking under the water and I felt a little afraid again.

5
-

有的房间被雪覆盖，所有的动物长着白色的皮毛。有干燥的房间、湿热的房间、森林房间……以及动物、鸟、树，还有花!

5
-

Some rooms were covered in snow and all the animals there had while fur.There were dry rooms， hot wet rooms， forest rooms…And animals and birds and trees and flowers!

6
-

这儿的动物比我所想象的多得多!

6
-

There were more living things than I had ever dreamt of!

7
-

我坐在“嘻嗬”的背上，驴子继续往前走。我们穿过一扇门，进入一个满是千奇百怪的生命的房间。然后，我们穿过另一扇门进入另一个房间。象在做梦一样。在梦中，事物变幻莫测，讲不清道理。就象是那样。

7
-

I sat on Hee-Haw’s back as the donkey walked on.We went through a door into a room full of strange life， then we went through another door and into another room，It was like a dream.In a dream， things change suddenly，without reason.It was like that.

8
-

我们回到电脑那儿。我还是不知道该选择哪种动物，机器人也不知道。“嘻嗬”和“呼呜”不明白是怎么回事;它们没有人类这样的智慧。

8
-

We went back to the computer.I didn’t know which animal to choose and neither did the robot.Hee-Haw and Hoo-Woo didn’t understand the problem;they weren’t intelligent in the human way.

9
-

于是我问电脑。

9
-

So I asked the computer.

10
-

“看看人类。”电脑说，“人类喜欢和动物玩，找一只喜欢陪人类玩的动物。”

10
-

’Watch humans，’the computer said.’Humans enjoy playing with animals.Find an animal which enjoys playing with humans.’

11
-

于是我们去看人类。

11
-

So we went to see the humans.

12
-

星际动物园的人不会说话。我坐在地上观察他们，他们在树上玩耍，在池子里游泳，在草地上玩游戏。他们总是在玩乐。

12
-

The humans in the Star Zoo couldn’t speak. I sat down and watched them while the humans played up in the trees，swam in the pool and played games in the grass.They played all the time.

13
-

多数其他的动物都不和人玩。但最后我看见有只动物从草地里跑出来玩。它喜欢和人玩!

13
-

Most other animals didn’t play with the humans.But finally I saw one animal come through the grass to play. It liked playing with humans!

14
-

那些人和这只动物玩了一个小时。这只动物喜欢和那些人在一起玩。

14
-

The humans played with the animal for an hour.The animal and the humans enjoyed playing together.

15
-

“你得制造一个那样的动物。”我吩咐机器人。

15
-

’That’s the animal you must make，’I told the robot.

16
-

机器人观察这只动物，抚摸它，上下都做了测量。最后，它准备好了，可以制造一个跟这只动物一样的机器动物。

16
-

The robot watched the animal and touched it and measured everything.In the end it was ready to build a robot just like that animal.

17
-

“你需要用什么制造它?”我问。

17
-

’What do you need to build it?’I asked.

18
-

“塑料，”机器人回答，“外面我打算用真皮毛。可我需要些金属。我能在哪儿找点金属?”

18
-

’Plastic，’the robot answered.’I will use real fur on the outside.But I need some metal.Where can I find metal?’

19
-

星际动物园里只有一样东西是用金属做的——电脑!

19
-

There was only one thing in the Star Zoo made of metal-the computer!

20
-

电脑让机器人从它的后背上取下两小块金属。

20
-

The computer told the robot to take off two small pieces of metal from its back.

21
-

机器人干活儿很快。有时它需要一些专门的工具。于是它就打开自己的肚皮，因为工具是放在身体里边的。

21
-

The robot worked fast.Sometimes it needed a special tool.Then it opened its stomach because the tools were kept inside the body there.

22
-

首先，机器人做了一个塑料躯干，外面包上类似皮肤的软塑料。然后它又用皮毛盖住皮肤。

22
-

First，the robot made a plastic body which it covered with soft plastic，like a skin.Then it used fur to cover the skin.

23
-

机器人还没有完工我就离开了，因为我担心牛子。我不希望他死。

23
-

I left before the robot finished because I was worried about Buff.I didn’t want him to die.

24
-

牛子还是不肯吃喝。但最糟糕的是他还在发狂。他的头脑还是没有好转……

24
-

Buff still wouldn’t eat or drink But the worst thing was， he was still crazy.His mind wasn’t getting better…

25
-

我想，要是牛子呆在星际动物园，他会死的。

25
-

If Buff stays in the Star Zoo，I thought，he’ll die.

26
-

我跟他说话，可他不回答。我知道他想杀死我。他想把所有活的东西都杀死。

26
-

I talked to him but he didn’t answer.I knew he wanted to kill me.He wanted to kill all living things.

27
-

机器人完成了工作，把一只小动物给我看。它的样子、声音和玩相都很象真动物。我把它带到电脑那儿。

27
-

The robot finished its work and showed me a little animal.It looked，and sounded，and played like the real animal. I took it to the computer.

28
-

“好，它和真动物一模一样。”电脑说，“它非常小——是只小动物。”电脑告诉了我它的名字。它检查了这只动物，然后对机器人说：“给它体温。”

28
-

’Yes，it looks just like the animal，’the computer said.’It’s very small-a baby animal.’the computer told me its name. It checked the animal，then said to the robot，’Make it warm.’

29
-

这只小动物是冷的。

29
-

The little animal was cold.

30
-

所以机器人就让它身体象真动物一样温暖。我们准备好了。

30
-

So the robot made the baby animal warm， like the real animal.We were ready.

31
-

机器人让牛子入睡，然后替他穿上太空服，并把他背到飞船上。

31
-

The robot put Buff to sleep，then put the spacesuit on him and carried him to the spaceship.

32
-

我又要离开星际动物园了。我在想，我们的计划能成功吗?出门之前，我回头看了一眼——只有星际动物园才存在生命，银河系其他地方都没有!

32
-

I was leaving the Star Zoo for the second time.Would our plan succeed， I wondered? Before I went through the door，I looked back at all the life that existed only here in the Star Zoo，and in no other place in all the Galaxy!
