6 JUST NOT FEELING IT

CHAPTER SIX JUST NOT FEELING IT Franny looked through her long list of projects. "Here's one that I wanted to get started on— inventing an ice cream that would never melt." Franny thought for a moment. "I must have been feeling pretty silly when I thought of that," she said. "Ice cream that never melts? Isn't that just a milkshake?" Without her silly side, Franny didn't feel like pursuing that one, and she crossed out the idea.

弗兰尼看了看她那一长串的项目清单。 “这是我想开始做的——发明一种永远不会融化的冰淇淋。” 弗兰妮想了一会儿。 “当我想到这一点时，我一定觉得自己很傻，”她说。 “永不融化的冰淇淋？” 那不就是一杯奶昔吗？”没有了她那愚蠢的一面，弗兰妮不想追求那个，于是她划掉了这个想法。

"Okay, let's have a look at the next one," she said, reading down her list. "A robot that finds your lost pet because it's so sad when somebody loses a pet. "I don't know. When I think about it now, that doesn't really seem that sad to me."

“好吧，让我们看看下一个，”她说着，念着她的单子。 “一个能找到你丢失宠物的机器人，因为当有人失去宠物时，你会很难过。 “我不知道。当我现在想起来的时候，这对我来说似乎并不那么悲伤。”

She looked out the window. "Look. There's that weird toad I created, hopping away, and I really don't care.

她向窗外望去。 “看。我创造的那只奇怪的蟾蜍，在跳着走，我真的不在乎。

"I mean, most animals don't live in houses with people. What's the big deal if a few more leave home?" Without her feeling of sadness, the project just didn't seem very important to her, and she crossed it out.

“我的意思是，大多数动物都不和人住在一起。 再多几个人离开家又有什么大不了的？”没有悲伤的感觉，这个项目对她来说似乎不是很重要，她把它划掉了。

She looked at the next project on her list. "Ah!" she said with a smile. "Now, this one should be good. It has a monster in it. I always enjoy making monsters." Her notes described making a giant, slobbery creature that would sit on the roof of your house. "Oh, yes, and it has slobber. This has real potential," Franny said.

她看了看清单上的下一个项目。 “啊！”她笑着说。 “现在，这个应该是好的。 里面有个怪物。我总是喜欢制作怪物。” 她在笔记中描述了如何制作一个巨大的、流口水的生物，它会坐在你的屋顶上。 “哦，是的，它有口水。 这确实有潜力，”弗兰尼说。

She kept reading her notes. They said that if your house caught on fire, the monster would drool all over it and put out the fire. "I like the drooly part," Franny said, "but what does a house fire have to do with it?" She read the note she had written on the sketch. It said, FIRES ARE SCARY.

她继续读她的笔记。 他们说，如果你的房子着火了，怪物会流口水，然后把火扑灭。 “我喜欢那流口水的部分，”弗兰妮说，“但房子着火跟它有什么关系呢？”她读了她写在素描上的注释。 上面写着，火灾是可怕的。
