Chapter 12

12 LET GO OF MY FRIENDS, YOU METAL MONSTER!" JANEGOODALL SWINGS three more fast strikes. WHAM! PING! DOINK! "OOH! AHH! OWW!" "Janegoodall! Janegoodall!" "I am very delicate! Do not break my glass dome!" BAM! BING! BOINK! "OOO! OOO! OOO!"

放开我的朋友，你这个金属怪物！”珍妮古德尔又挥出三记快速好球。 哇!萍!DOINK !“哦!啊!嗷!”“Janegoodall !Janegoodall !”“我很脆弱！”不要打碎我的玻璃圆顶！”砰!必应(BING) !波英克!“噢噢噢!已坏!已坏!”

Klank drops Klink, Frank, and Watson in a heap. He hops around on one bent leg, covers his dented head with his twisted duct-hose arms, and dives under the workbench to save himself from the wild human smacking him with an aluminum bat.

Klank把Klink， Frank和Watson扔成一堆。 他用一条弯曲的腿跳来跳去，用扭曲的软管手臂捂住凹陷的头，然后潜入工作台下面，以免被野蛮的人类用铝棒打到。

Janegoodall cocks her bat for one more home-run swing. "Wait!" yells Watson. "Don't hit him. That's

珍妮古道尔挥棒准备再打一个本垒打。 “等等！”华生喊道。“别打他。 这是

Klank!" "He's a robot," adds Frank. "Not a monster." Janegoodall stops and looks over her shoulder. Klink ducks behind Watson. "I am also not a monster. So you do not need to hit me, either." Janegoodall lowers her bat, leans on it, and looks more closely at Klink and Klank. "Are you kidding me?" Klink shakes and whirrs. "It is not possible for me to kid you." Klank peeks out from under the workbench. "I would hug you." "Well, I'll be..." says Janegoodall. "I was walking by, and it sounded like the world was ending in here. When I shoved in the side door, I thought you guys were getting mugged by that metal monster—I mean, Klank. So I thought I'd better take him down." "Thanks for saving us," says Watson. "Even

Klank !”“他是个机器人，”弗兰克补充道。 “不是怪物。”珍妮古道尔停下来，扭头看了看。 link躲到Watson身后。 “我也不是怪物。所以你也不需要打我。” 珍妮古德尔放下她的球棒，靠在上面，更仔细地看着克林克和克兰克。 “你在开玩笑吧？”克林克摇晃着，嗡嗡作响。 “我不可能跟你开玩笑。” Klank从工作台下面往外偷看。 “我会拥抱你的。”“好吧，我会……” Janegoodall说。“我路过这里，听起来好像世界末日到了。 当我推开侧门的时候，我以为你们要被那个金属怪物抢劫了，我是说，克兰克。 所以我想我最好把他干掉。” “谢谢你救了我们，”沃森说。 “即使

if we didn't need saving." "Klank was just celebrating our newest invention," explains Frank. Klank crawls out from under the workbench, nervously making sure the bench is between him and the new human. Janegoodall nods. "Funny how celebrating and playing can look a lot like fighting. I've observed that in other species." Watson notices that Klink and Klank are staying as far away from Janegoodall as possible. "These guys are amazing," he says. "Artificial intelligence, but they teach themselves. And they are constantly learning more and more." "Really..." says Janegoodall. "Most certainly," says Klink. "Huh?" says Klank. "Klink and Klank," says Frank Einstein, "meet our friend Janegoodall Jones. She is the

如果我们不需要拯救。” “克兰克只是在庆祝我们的最新发明，”弗兰克解释说。 Klank从工作台下面爬出来，紧张地确保长凳在他和新人类之间。 Janegoodall点点头。“有趣的是，庆祝和玩耍看起来很像打架。 我在其他物种身上也观察到了这一点。” 沃森注意到，Klink和Klank离janeggoodall越远越好。 “这些家伙太棒了，”他说。 “人工智能，但他们会自学。 而且他们还在不断地学习。” “真的……”珍妮古德尔说。 “当然，”Klink说。 “嗯？”克兰克说。“Klink和Klank，”弗兰克·爱因斯坦说，“来见见我们的朋友janeggoodall Jones。 她是

best animal scientist and baseball player in all of Midville." "You are Dr. Goodall? The famous chimpanzee scientist?" Janegoodall laughs. "No. But my parents love her work. And they did name me after her. Nice to meet you." Janegoodall reaches out and shakes Klink's vacuum-hose clamp-hand. Klank clomps over and gives her a hug. "Sorry I smacked you around so much," says Janegoodall. "Oh, do not be sorry," says Klank. "Nothing can hurt me." Klink looks at the dents all over Klank. "It did not help your looks." Frank holds up the Electro-Finger. "We were just going to take the new invention out. Show the town of Midville that wireless power is possible with this."

米德维尔最好的动物科学家和棒球运动员。” “你是古道尔博士？”那个著名的黑猩猩科学家？”Janegoodall笑着说。 “没有。但是我的父母喜欢她的作品。 他们确实用她的名字给我取名。 很高兴见到你。”珍妮古德尔伸出手，握了握克林克的真空软管夹手。 Klank跳过去给了她一个拥抱。 “对不起，我打了你那么多，”珍妮古德尔说。 “哦，不用抱歉，”克兰克说。 “没有什么能伤害我。”Klink看着Klank身上的凹痕。 “这对你的容貌没有帮助。” 弗兰克举起电指。 “我们正准备推出这项新发明。 向米德维尔镇展示无线电力是可能的。”
