5 Pleasing All of the People

CHAPTER FIVE PLEASING ALL OF THE PEOPLE ALL OF THE TIME. SIMPLE ENOUGH. Franny started preparing to assemble things her classmates liked. "The girls like kittens," she said. "And the boys seem to enjoy soccer."

第五章在任何时候取悦所有的人。 很简单。弗兰尼开始准备组装同学们喜欢的东西。 “女孩们喜欢小猫，”她说。 “男孩们似乎很喜欢足球。”

"Everybody likes candy," she said, and Igor ran and got two big bags of chocolate bars. "And I think they like clowns. They like clowns, don't they?" she asked Igor. Igor shrugged his shoulders. Franny began tossing everything into her Atomic Combiner. (Most mad scientists have one, you know.)

“每个人都喜欢糖果，”她说，伊戈尔跑去拿了两大袋巧克力棒。 “我认为他们喜欢小丑。 他们喜欢小丑，不是吗？”她问伊戈尔。 伊戈尔耸了耸肩。 弗兰妮开始把所有东西都扔进她的原子组合机。 （你知道，大多数疯狂的科学家都有一个。）

"And puppies, and crayons, and balloons, and cake," she commanded. Igor handed her one after the other.

“还有小狗、蜡笔、气球和蛋糕，”她命令道。 伊戈尔一个接一个地递给她。

Franny began to grin. "And now we atomically combine them, and all that's left is to present it to the class." Franny pressed the button and the air was filled with the unmistakable aroma of kitten molecules fusing with clown atoms.

弗兰尼开始咧嘴笑了。“现在我们把它们自动组合起来，剩下的就是把它呈现给全班了。” 弗兰妮按下了按钮，空气中充满了小猫分子和小丑原子融合的气味。
