6 Making Yourself at Home

CHAPTER SIX MAKING YOURSELF AT HOME Franny hummed cheerfully as she made three mechanical copies of herself. She thought this plan through carefully and was certain it was the answer to all of her problems. "Pretty clever, don't you think so, Igor?" she said as Igor watched with growing concern. He had learned that one Franny was already a lot of Franny. He wasn't sure if four of them was such a good idea.

弗兰尼一边愉快地哼着歌，一边给自己做了三张机械复制品。 她仔细地考虑了这个计划，确信这是她所有问题的答案。 “很聪明，你不觉得吗，伊戈尔？”她说，伊戈尔越来越担心地看着她。 他认识到，一个弗兰尼已经是很多个弗兰尼了。 他不确定四个人是否是个好主意。

Igor started remembering some of Franny's robots that had caused trouble in the past. "These Franbots are going to handle all of those extra activities that Mom has lined up. They'll take the bagpipe lessons, they'll learn gourmet cooking, and they'll play soccer. They'll do it all for me." Igor wondered if he and Franny could also make a few Igorbots for some of his chores.

伊戈尔开始想起弗兰妮的一些机器人，它们在过去制造过麻烦。 “这些弗兰特机器人将负责妈妈安排的所有额外活动。 他们会去上风笛课，学习烹饪美食，还会踢足球。 他们会为我做这一切的。” 伊戈尔想知道他和弗兰妮是否也能制造一些伊戈尔机器人来帮他做一些家务。

"These machines will give me more time to do my homework and my experiments, and they may even give me some extra time to spend with my loyal lab assistant." She winked at Igor. That was all Igor needed to hear. Anything that would give him more time with Franny had to be a good idea, and he worked extra hard to help her complete the Franbots quickly.

“这些机器可以让我有更多的时间做作业和实验，甚至可以让我有更多的时间和我忠实的实验室助手在一起。” 她对伊戈尔使了个眼色。这就是伊戈尔想要听到的。 任何能让他有更多时间和弗兰妮待在一起的办法都是好主意，于是他加倍努力地帮助她尽快完成弗兰博。
