Chapter 22

22 FRANK AND WATSON SIT AT THE LABORATORY WORKBENCH, FACING Frank's laptop screen. "We are so sorry to hear you didn't win the Science Prize, sweetie." Frank waves a hand. "Ah, don't worry about that, Mom. The science is more fun than any prize. And just this morning I sold a magnetic levitation idea to a cool skateboard company and paid off Grampa's deed, so we can keep

弗兰克和沃森坐在实验室的工作台上，面对着弗兰克的笔记本电脑屏幕。 “亲爱的，听到你没有获得科学奖，我们很遗憾。” 弗兰克挥挥手。“啊，别担心，妈妈。 科学比任何奖项都有趣。 就在今天早上，我把磁悬浮的想法卖给了一家很酷的滑板公司还付清了爷爷的房款，这样我们就可以留着了

the store." "You sold a magnet?" says Mary Einstein. "For Grampa's steed?" Frank laughs. "I'll explain it all when you get home." Grampa Al pops his head in Frank's laboratory door. He calls, "Hi, Mary! Hi, Bob! Everything's copacetic. Now if you will excuse me, I've got bigger fish to fry." "Huh?" says Watson. "What does that mean?" "I'm making us dinner. Bye, Mary! Bye, son!" Grampa Al disappears into the kitchen. Bob Einstein appears next to Mary. "We're back in the country, sport. So I'll be able to

商店。”“你卖了一块磁铁？”玛丽·爱因斯坦说。 “为了爷爷的马？”弗兰克笑着说。 “等你回家，我再给你解释。” 艾尔爷爷把头伸进弗兰克实验室的门。 他叫道：“嗨，玛丽！嗨,鲍勃!一切都是极好的。 现在请原谅，我有更重要的事要做。” “嗯？”沃森说。“这是什么意思？”“我在给我们做饭。 再见,玛丽!再见,儿子!”爷爷消失在厨房里。 鲍勃·爱因斯坦出现在玛丽旁边。 “我们回到乡下了，伙计。 所以我可以

help you with your next invention!" "Oh gosh, Dad. That is... uh... great." Klink wheels up to the workbench. "Are you being sarcastic?" "Wow," says Bob. "Did your Shop-Vac just say something?" Klink beeps. "Uh, more to explain when you guys get home. See you soon. Bye!" Frank closes his laptop. He stacks his papers. Watson wipes down a shelf. He organizes some tools. Klink sits silently, his LED lights pulsing ever so slightly. "Man, Edison sure was mad," says Watson. "Mmm-hmm," agrees Frank, looking through his science encyclopedia. "He is going to be your enemy for life."

帮助你的下一个发明！”“哦，天哪，爸爸。 这是……嗯…好了。”Klink把轮子抬到工作台上。 “你是在讽刺吗？”“哇，”鲍勃说。 “你的吸尘器刚才说什么了吗？”Klink哔哔声。 "你们回家后再解释。 期待很快与大家见面。再见!”弗兰克合上他的笔记本电脑。 他把文件堆起来。沃森擦了擦架子。 他整理了一些工具。克林克静静地坐着，他的LED灯微微跳动着。 “伙计，爱迪生真是疯了，”沃森说。 “嗯——嗯，”弗兰克一边翻看他的科学百科全书，一边表示赞同。 “他将是你一生的敌人。”

"Uh-huh," agrees Frank, drawing a doodle. "And that ape is not going to be your best friend either." "Yeah." It is suddenly very quiet in Frank Einstein's lab. Watson picks up a copy of Klank's favorite Captain Underpants book. He frowns. "Einstein, sometimes I think you are a robot. Don't you miss Klank? He was a good guy." Klink powers up. "A robot cannot be good or bad. Klank was a robot." Klink blinks once, then twice. "But I would like to try to understand his jokes again." Frank looks up from his science book. "So our next subject is Energy. Here's what I'm thinking." Watson stares at Frank. "Are you kidding? Klank blew himself up for us, and all you can

“嗯哼，”弗兰克同意地画了个涂鸦。 “而且那只猿也不会成为你最好的朋友。” “是的。”突然间，弗兰克·爱因斯坦的实验室变得非常安静。 华生拿起一本克兰克最喜欢的《内裤队长》。 他皱起眉头。“爱因斯坦，有时候我觉得你是个机器人。 你不想念Klank吗？他是个好人。” Klink启动。“机器人没有好坏之分。 克兰克是个机器人。”克林克眨了一次，然后眨了两次。 “但我想再试着理解他的笑话。” 弗兰克从他的科学书上抬起头来。 “所以我们的下一个主题是能源。 我是这么想的。” 华生盯着弗兰克。“你在开玩笑吧？” 克兰克为我们炸了自己，还有你能做的一切

think about is—" There is a knock on the door leading out to the backyard. "Oh, wait. Just a second." Frank gets up from the workbench. A voice on the other side of the door says, "Knock, knock." "Who's there?" asks Frank. "Little old lady." "Little old lady who?" Frank swings open the door. Klank clomps in and booms: "I did not know you could yodel!" "Klank!" yells Watson. "Ha-ha-ha," beeps Klink. Klank plods over to the workbench and wraps his aluminum flex arms around Watson, Klink, and a smiling Frank.

想想看——”有人在敲通往后院的门。 “哦,等。等一下。” 弗兰克从工作台上站起来。 门的另一边传来一个声音：“敲门，敲门。” “谁在那儿？”弗兰克问。 “小老太太。”“哪个小老太太？”弗兰克打开了门。 克兰克跳了进来，大声说：“我不知道你还会乔德尔！”“Klank!”华生喊道。 “哈哈哈，”link嘟嘟地说。Klank沉重地走到工作台前，用他的铝制柔韧的手臂抱住了沃森、Klink和微笑着的Frank。

"Hugs! Give Klank hugs! Klank give hugs! Klank hugs give! Hugs Klank give!"

“拥抱!给Klank一个拥抱！Klank给拥抱！Klank拥抱给！拥抱Klank吧！”
