Chapter 7

7 SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF GRAMPA AL'S BACKYARD JUNK PILE, Frank Einstein consults his Energy notebook. "Here are the basics we need to know," says Frank. He continues: "Energy is all around us. "Energy is what makes everything happen. "Energy is a property of matter. "Energy comes in many forms... like light,

弗兰克·爱因斯坦坐在爷爷后院的垃圾堆中间，查阅着他的《能源》笔记本。 “这些是我们需要知道的基本知识，”弗兰克说。 他继续说道：“能量无处不在。 “能量让一切发生。 “能量是物质的一种属性。 “能量有很多种形式…… 像光,

heat, sound, electrical, chemical, mechanical, and nuclear. "Energy cannot be created or destroyed. But it can be transferred from one object to another. And it can be converted into different forms. "And forces!" Frank adds. "Forces are the ways that energy is applied. The pushes and the pulls that get things moving." "I have added jets to my legs to get things moving," says Klank. "Watch!" Klank pushes a new green button on his side panel. Small rocket motors on the bottoms of his metal feet fire up with a low, roaring blowtorch sound. Klank rises slowly up off the ground. Watson checks the engines. "Saturn V F-1 booster rockets! Nice!"

热、声、电、化学、机械和核。 “能量不能被创造或毁灭。 但它可以从一个物体转移到另一个物体。 它可以转换成不同的形式。 “和力量!”弗兰克补充道。“力是能量被应用的方式。 推动事物运动的推和拉。” 克兰克说：“我在腿上加了喷流器，让东西动起来。” “看!”Klank在他的侧板上按了一个新的绿色按钮。 他的金属脚底部的小型火箭发动机发出低沉、咆哮的喷灯声。 克兰克慢慢地离开地面。 沃森检查引擎。 “土星五号F-1助推火箭！”不错!”

"Wow," says Frank. Even Klink is impressed. "Very nice." Klank rises higher. He turns his feet right

“哇，”弗兰克说。甚至连Klink都被打动了。 “很好。”克兰克升得更高了。 他把脚向右转

and flies left. He turns his feet left and flies right. "A perfect demonstration of all three of Newton's Laws of Motion!" says Frank. "Huh?" says Klank. Klank rises higher. "One: An object at rest will stay at rest unless a force acts on it." The tiny rockets roar a bit louder. Klank zigs and zags around the backyard a bit more wildly. "Two: When a force acts on an object, that object will move, speed up, slow down, change direction. The greater the force, the greater the change of movement. What are you using to control the thrust?" asks Frank. "What is that?" yells Klank. "Thrust!" repeats Frank, now shouting above the building roar of the rockets. "The amount of energy the engines are pushing out!"

苍蝇飞走了。他的脚向左转，向右飞。 “这完美地证明了牛顿的三大运动定律！”弗兰克说。 “嗯？”克兰克说。克兰克升得更高了。 “一：静止的物体会保持静止，除非有外力作用。” 小火箭的轰鸣声更大了。 Klank在后院绕来绕去，有点疯狂。 “二：当一个力作用在一个物体上时，这个物体会移动，加速，减速，改变方向。 力越大，运动变化越大。 你用什么来控制推力？”弗兰克问。 “那是什么？”克兰克喊道。 “推进！”弗兰克重复着，现在他的喊声盖过了大楼里火箭的轰鸣声。 “引擎输出的能量太大了！”

"OHHHhhhh," says Klank, bouncing off the brick wall of the back of Grampa Al's Fix It! shop. "I have not figured that ooooouuuuuuttttt..." Klank's foot rockets erupt at full power. Klank flies around the yard, bouncing off walls, fences, telephone poles, and wires. His legs flop. His legs twist. His legs wrap around each other. And he roars straight up into the sky. "Three: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction," says Frank. "Heeeeeeelllllllp!" "Point your feet up!" yells Frank. Klank points his feet up. He stops rising, turns in a big, jet-propelled curve, and rockets back down to earth, into Grampa Al's backyard, with a SMASH BOOM BLAAAANG, crushing three old metal file cabinets, a shopping cart, and a baby grand piano.

“哦，”克兰克在阿尔爷爷的“修理它”店后面的砖墙上弹跳着说。商店。 “我还没想过……” 克兰克的脚火箭全速爆发。 Klank在院子里飞来飞去，在墙壁、栅栏、电线杆和电线上弹来弹去。 他的腿扑通一声。他的腿扭曲了。 他的腿互相缠绕在一起。 他直冲天空咆哮。 弗兰克说：“第三：对于每一个动作，都有一个相等和相反的反应。” “Heeeeeeelllllllp !”“把脚抬起来！”弗兰克喊道。 克兰克把脚翘起来。他停止上升，以喷气推进的大弧度转弯，冲回地面，冲进爷爷的后院，砰的一声，砸坏了三个旧金属文件柜、一辆购物车和一架小三角钢琴。

Klank's foot rockets sputter out and go quiet. Klink rolls over to Klank and helps untwist his legs. "Nice demonstration of Newton's Three Laws," says Watson. Phooomph! goes one last blast of a rocket in Klank's left foot.

克兰克的脚火箭噼啪作响，然后安静下来。 Klink滚到Klank身边，帮他解开腿。 “很好地证明了牛顿三大定律，”沃森说。 Phooomph !最后一枚火箭击中了克兰克的左脚。
