12 The New Robot Is a Smash Hit

CHAPTER TWELVE THE NEW ROBOT IS A SMASH HIT Franny walked happily into her classroom. She was thinking about maybe rescuing more kids from stupid hobbies. She was surprised, as anyone might be, to find that most of her classroom had been smashed to smithereens. (Note: For anybody doing the conversion, there are ten smithers in an ounce, and ten smithereens in a smither.)

第十二章新机器人大获成功弗兰妮高兴地走进教室。 她想把更多的孩子从愚蠢的爱好中解救出来。 她和任何人一样，惊讶地发现她的教室大部分都被砸成了碎片。 （注：对于任何进行换算的人来说，一盎司有十个粉碎者，一个粉碎者有十个粉碎者。）

Erin climbed from underneath a smoldering chunk of desk. "Thank goodness," she said. "Another mad scientist to help us." Franny raised one eyebrow. "'Another' mad scientist? What do you mean by 'another'? You're not a mad scientist." Lawrence and Phil climbed out from their hiding places. "Sure we are," Phil said. "You should have seen us yesterday." "That's right," Lawrence added. "And we finished the robot last night."

艾琳从闷烧的桌子下面爬了出来。 “谢天谢地，”她说。 “另一个疯狂的科学家来帮助我们。” 弗兰妮扬起一条眉毛。 “又一个‘疯狂科学家’？你说的“另一个”是什么意思？ 你不是一个疯狂的科学家。” 劳伦斯和菲尔从藏身之处爬了出来。 “当然，”菲尔说。“你应该看看我们昨天的样子。” “没错，”劳伦斯补充道。 “我们昨晚完成了机器人。”

"You finished it?" Franny shouted. "You're not qualified to do that. What made you think you could create and activate something that complex and dangerous?" The three of them just looked down at their feet.

“你读完了？”弗兰妮喊道。 “你没有资格这么做。 是什么让你认为你可以创造和激活如此复杂和危险的东西？”他们三个人只是低头看着自己的脚。

Then it suddenly occurred to Franny. She was what made them think that. "I have a very bad feeling about this," Franny said.

这时弗兰妮突然想到了。 是她让他们这么想的。 “我有一种非常不好的感觉，”弗兰尼说。
