6. Sanitized for Your Protection

CHAPTER 6 SANITIZED FOR YOUR PROTECTION Unfortunately, the epic fight that followed was WAY too violent and disturbing to appear in a children's book. The images and descriptions would just be too terrifying. You'd have nightmares for weeks, trust me! So I have invited a guest illustrator, Timmy Swanson (age four) to draw the action in a style that won't depict too much graphic detail. I've also asked his nana, Gertrude (age seventy-one), to describe the scene in her own, gentle vocabulary. Take it away, Timmy and Nana!

不幸的是，接下来的史诗般的战斗太过暴力和令人不安，不适合出现在儿童读物中。 那些图片和描述太可怕了。 你会连续几周做噩梦的，相信我！所以我邀请了一位客座插画师，蒂米·斯旺森（四岁），以一种不会描绘太多图形细节的风格来画这个动作。 我还请他的奶奶格特鲁德（71岁）用她自己温和的语言描述了那一幕。 把它拿走，蒂米和奶奶！

Thank you, dear. Well, let's see what's happening here. What— oh, my. That's... that's horrible! It looks like a little boy is— oh, dear. Now what's he doing? Oh, dear me! This certainly is not appropriate at all!

谢谢你，亲爱的。让我们看看这里发生了什么。 什么——哦，天哪。这是……这是可怕的!看起来像个小男孩——哦，天哪。 现在他在做什么？噢，天哪！这当然是不合适的！

And now there's a robot shaped like a— well, I'd rather not say. He's just doing such dreadful things, though. And- OH! Oh, my. Say, what kind of a book is this? Oh, for heaven's sake! This is ridiculous. I've never been so offended in all my— OH! I've seen just about enough— OH! OH!!! Oh, dear!

现在有一个机器人的形状像——嗯，我宁愿不说。 他只是在做一些可怕的事情。 ,哦!哦,我的。喂，这是一本什么样的书？ 啊，看在上帝的份上！这太荒谬了。 我从来没有这么生气过——哦！我已经看够了——哦！哦! !哦,天哪!

Timmy! Stop drawing! Stop drawing this instant! No, Timmy! No!

蒂米!别画!马上停止画画！不,提米!不!
