Chapter 20

20 FRANK AND WATSON RACE THEIR BIKES UP THE MIDVILLE WOODS dirt path. They skid around boulders and jump small logs, hustling to the Midville Solar Array as fast as they can.

弗兰克和沃森骑着自行车在米德维尔森林的土路上赛跑。 他们在巨石上滑行，跳过小木头，以最快的速度奔向米德维尔太阳能阵列。

Klank runs a clomping, crashing, straight line behind them, but instead of using the path, he stomps right through the brush and over small trees—carrying (and wildly swinging) Klink by his handy Shop-Vac handle. "How embarrassing," says Klink. "I simply must make myself a more dignified form of transportation." "BAM BAM BAM!" answers Klank,

克兰克在他们身后跑出一条直线，但他没有走这条路，而是直接穿过灌木丛，越过小树，用他那灵巧的Shop-Vac把手拎着（疯狂地摇摆着）克兰克。 “太尴尬了，”Klink说。 “我只是想让自己成为一种更体面的交通工具。” “BAM BAM BAM!”克兰克回答道，

smashing happily along. Frank, Watson, Klink, and Klank burst out of the woods and into the open meadow. The tall grass waves in the wind. All four stop dead in their tracks at the sight in front of them. What used to be neat rows of blue solar panels angled toward the sun... is now a graveyard heap of broken glass and silicon bits, twisted metal supports, and snapped wires. "We have to find out who this helps," says Watson. "We have to follow the energy." A crazy scream of crushed metal and a deep, diesel-motor roar answers. It's a huge metal beast with massive spiked feet, stomping the wreckage of the Solar Array to even smaller pieces. Klank screams, "Robot monster!" and drops Klink in the weeds. Frank jumps off his bike, whips the Electro- Finger out of his backpack, and straps it on.

快乐地前进。弗兰克、华生、克林克和克兰克冲出树林，来到开阔的草地上。 高高的草在风中摇曳。 看到眼前的景象，四个人都停住了脚步。 过去一排排整齐的蓝色太阳能电池板向太阳倾斜…… 现在是一堆破碎的玻璃和硅片，扭曲的金属支撑和断裂的电线。 “我们必须找出这对谁有帮助，”沃森说。 “我们必须跟着能量走。” 一阵疯狂的金属碎裂声和柴油发动机低沉的轰鸣声应声而来。 它是一只巨大的金属野兽，长着巨大的尖脚，把太阳能电池阵的残骸踩成更小的碎片。 Klank尖叫道：“机器怪物！”然后把Klink扔到了杂草中。 弗兰克跳下自行车，把电子手指从背包里抽出来，绑在背上。

"We have to stop this thing now!" he yells over the shrieking and pounding. "Watson, you go left. Klink and Klank, go right. When it chases you, I'll Electro-Finger-zap it." Watson hops off his bike. "Wait, what? You're using us as bait?" The metal monster stomps some glass and heads right toward the guys. "Yes," says Frank Einstein, with calculated cool. "Now go!" Klank grabs Klink. "Attack the robot monster!" "Stooooop swiiiiingingggg meeeeeeee!" Klank runs right. The monster giant-steps right. Watson runs left. The metal beast giant- steps left. Frank kneels to steady his arm on one knee. He dials the Electro-Finger to MAX. The metal monster lifts a spiked foot right

“我们现在必须阻止这东西！”他在尖叫声和重击声中喊道。 “华生，你往左边走。Klink和Klank，往右走。 当它追你的时候，我就用手指电击它。” 华生从自行车上跳下来。“等等,什么? 你拿我们当诱饵？”金属怪物踩碎了一些玻璃，径直朝他们走去。 “是的，”弗兰克·爱因斯坦说，带着刻意的冷静。 “现在去!”Klank抓住了Klink。 “攻击机器怪物！”“站着……扭动…………………………”Klank向右跑。 怪物巨人向右迈了一步。 沃森向左跑。金属兽巨人向左转。 弗兰克跪下来，把胳膊放在单膝上稳住。 他把电子手指拨给MAX。 金属怪物抬起一只带尖刺的脚

over Watson. "Aieeeeeee!" yells a running Watson. "Now, now, now, Einstein!" Frank takes careful aim and fires an electromagnetic burst of energy toward what he hopes is the heart of the monster. Watson jumps for the tall grass over the hill, screaming, "Eeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" The thing lunges, belches a smoke-billowing roar... then—screeeeeech, creak—freezes on one leg and falls over sideways, landing with a huge, metal THWUMMMP! Frank lowers the Electro-Finger and cautiously approaches the felled monster. Klank appears from behind a bush and carries Klink over. "Is the robot monster dead?" asks Klank. "It was never alive," says Klink. "It is a machine." Frank inspects the hulk. "A very amazing

沃森。“呜——呜——呜！”跑着的沃森大叫。 “好了，好了，好了，爱因斯坦！”弗兰克仔细瞄准，向他希望是怪物心脏的地方发射了一束电磁能量。 华生跳到山上高高的草丛中，尖叫着：“eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee !”那东西猛扑过去，喷出一声浓烟滚滚的咆哮…… 然后“吱——吱——吱”的一声，一条腿僵住了，侧身倒在地上，发出一声巨大的金属声！弗兰克放下电指，小心翼翼地靠近倒下的怪物。 Klank从灌木丛后面出现，把Klink抱了过去。 “机器人怪物死了吗？”克兰克问道。 “它从来没有活过，”Klink说。 “它是一台机器。”弗兰克检查了绿巨人。 “非常了不起。

custom demolition machine..." Klank takes a step closer. The side of the thing's skull suddenly swings open. "Shoot it!" yells Klank. "Zap it again!" Frank lifts the Electro-Finger. But before he can fire, a familiar kid with a bad haircut pops out of the machine and jumps to the ground. He stands with his hands on his hips, and he is not happy.

定制拆除机……” Klank走近了一步。 这个东西的头骨突然打开了。 “开枪！”克兰克喊道。“再打一次！”弗兰克举起电指。 但在他开火之前，一个熟悉的孩子，一个糟糕的发型从机器里跳出来，跳到了地上。 他双手叉腰站着，看起来很不开心。
