3 The Best Robot Ever

Three, the best robot ever. THE TWO FRIENDS HEADED downstairs to the workshop in the basement of Zeke's house. Large metal tubes, electric wires, and weird- looking circuits were spread all over the floor and workbench.

三，有史以来最好的机器人。 两个好朋友下楼来到齐克家地下室的工作室。 大金属管、电线和奇形怪状的电路散布在地板和工作台上。

"What's all this?" Harris asked. "My dad and I like to tinker with some of the Tragas technology we brought from home," Zeke explained. "I'm pretty good at building stuff."

“这是怎么回事？”哈里斯问道。 “我爸爸和我喜欢摆弄一些从家里带来的Tragas技术，”齐克解释说。 “我很擅长建造东西。”

Zeke levitated some long metal tubes, some flashing bulbs, and a whole bunch of wires above their heads. Harris watched in amazement, and his friend got to work assembling them in the air. As he finished each section, Zeke lowered the completed metal pieces onto Harris. More and more, Harris began to look like a robot.

齐克让一些长金属管，一些闪烁的灯泡，还有一大堆电线悬在他们头上。 哈里斯惊奇地看着，他的朋友开始在空中组装它们。 齐克每完成一个部分，就把完成的金属片放到哈里斯身上。 哈里斯越来越像个机器人了。

The robot's body was a square box cut to fit tightly against Harris's own body, complete with blinking dials and knobs. The arms and legs were metal stovepipes attached to his body. For the head, Zeke used what looked like an old TV. He attached a small metal rod to look like a bright antenna.

机器人的身体是一个方形盒子，与哈里斯的身体紧密贴合，配有闪烁的刻度盘和旋钮。 他的胳膊和腿是连接在身体上的金属烟囱。 对于头部，齐克使用了一个看起来像旧电视的东西。 他绑了一根小金属棒，看起来像一根明亮的天线。

"Pretty good," said Zeke, stepping back and looking at his creation. "I want to see!" Harris rushed back up to Zeke's room and looked into a mirror. "Wow!" he said. "This is amazing. I really look like a robot!" When Harris turned around, he saw that Zeke had again transformed into his true alien body.

“很好，”齐克说，退了一步，看着他的作品。 “我要看！”哈里斯冲回齐克的房间，照镜子。 “哇！”他说。“这太神奇了。 我看起来真的像个机器人！”哈里斯转过身来，看到齐克又变成了他真正的外星人。

"But I still think you're going to win the contest, Zeke," he said. Downstairs, the front doorbell rang. Zeke's mother called up to them: "Zeke, Harris, your friend Roxy is here!" she shouted. Harris froze. "Oh, no!" Harris said. "This is bad, this is really, really bad!" "I don't understand," Zeke said. "Usually you are happy to see Roxy."

“但我仍然认为你会赢得比赛，齐克，”他说。 楼下，前门的门铃响了。 齐克的妈妈朝他们喊道：“齐克，哈里斯，你们的朋友罗克西来了！” 哈里斯冻结。“哦,不!”哈里斯说。 “这太糟糕了，这真是太糟糕了！”“我不明白，”齐克说。 “通常你见到罗克西都很高兴。”
