Chapter 26

26 KLANK STANDS UP. The raft picks up speed, drifts more quickly back toward certain hydroelectric- turbine-chopping disaster. Klink makes thousands, millions, of almost- instant calculations and concludes, "Not good." Frank and Watson desperately, unsuccessfully, try to paddle with their hands. Klank fires up all 8K of his digital memory

klank站了起来。筏子加快了速度，更快地漂回了某个水电涡轮机的灾难。 Klink进行了成千上万次几乎是即时的计算，最后得出结论：“不太好。” 弗兰克和华生拼命地用手划水，但没有成功。 克兰克启动了他所有8K的数字内存

to connect exactly two thoughts. "Must protect my humans. Every action has equal and opposite reaction. Yes, Frank Einstein?" Frank looks up. "Yes." Klank nods. Klank uses his monkey wrench to crank his

把两个想法准确地联系起来。 “必须保护我的人类。每个作用力都有相等和相反的反作用力。 是的，弗兰克·爱因斯坦？”弗兰克抬起头。 “是的。”Klank点点头。克兰克用他的扳手来转动他的

Robot Boogie song up to LOUD. BADANG BADANG BADANG. He stands on the edge of the raft and yells, "Action!" Klink starts to say, "I believe we have established that sound energy does not—" And Klank suddenly dives off the front of the raft, straight into the whirlpool. The 214pound force of his dive pushes the raft in an equal reaction—away from the whirlpool, all the way to shore. Frank, Watson, and Klink jump to dry land. They look back just in time to see Klank's rocket-footed legs flip up and disappear, spinning down, down, down into the whirlpool. The sound-wave beats of Klank's Robot Boogie echo through the water like a crazy whale song. Then, suddenly, inevitably, a horrible metal grinding-wrenching-screechingchopping sound drowns out the Robot Boogie.

机器人布吉歌开到最大。 巴当巴当巴当。他站在木筏边上大喊：“开始！”克林克开始说：“我相信我们已经确定了声能不——”然后克林克突然从木筏的前面跳入漩涡中。 214磅的潜水力将木筏推离漩涡，一直推到岸边。 弗兰克、华生和克林克跳到陆地上。 他们回头一看，正好看到克兰克的火箭般的腿向上一跳，然后消失，向下、向下、向下旋转，进入漩涡。 Klank的Robot Boogie的声波节奏在水中回荡，就像一首疯狂的鲸鱼之歌。 然后，突然，不可避免地，一个可怕的金属研磨-扳手-尖叫-切割的声音淹没了机器人布吉。

The deep bass hum of the turbine stops. The whirlpool slows and disappears. The surface of the lake falls into a quiet, perfectly level calm. Frank, Watson, and Klink stand looking at the spot where Klank disappeared. They are safe. But they are stunned. Because they know, without looking, what they will find on the other side of the dam. Nothing but crushed-up Klank parts.

涡轮机低沉的嗡嗡声停止了。 漩涡变慢并消失。 湖面平静下来，完全平静。 弗兰克、华生和克林克站在那里看着克林克消失的地方。 他们很安全。但他们还是惊呆了。 因为不用看，他们就知道大坝的另一边会有什么。 除了压碎的克兰克零件什么都没有。
