Chapter 8

8 FRANK FINISHES REPAIRING KLANK, TIGHTENS THE LAST SCREW, and closes the big robot's foot- rocket panels. Klank helps, tightening his own bolts with his monkey-wrench hand. Frank stands up and dusts off his lab coat. "OK, back to the Energy drawing board. Let's keep this simple." "Yes," agrees Klink, showing off by blinking

弗兰克修好了KLANK，拧紧了最后一个螺丝，关上了大机器人的脚——火箭面板。 克兰克帮忙，用他那只猴子扳手般的手拧紧了自己的螺栓。 弗兰克站起来，掸掉他的实验服上的灰尘。 “好了，回到能源绘图板。 让我们保持简单。”“是的，”Klink表示同意，眨眨眼睛炫耀自己

his new light-energy attachment. "As Sir Isaac Newton so simply put his Three Laws of Motion in his book Philosophi. Naturalis Principia Mathematica..." Klink pauses and hums for a second. "Which I have just read. In the original Latin." "Ooh! Ooh!" adds Klank. "I am reading that, too." He blinks his antenna bulb. "And there is a piece of cheese on the basketball court, and if you touch it you get the Cheese Touch. It's like cooties." Klink whirs and searches his memory. "I do not see where Sir Isaac Newton wrote about the Cheese Touch... or the Caseum Tago..." Watson laughs. "It's from the first Diary of a Wimpy Kid." "Yes!" beeps Klank, waving his big duct- hose arms around. "It is amazing! And Sir Isaac Newton is very good at drawing in that book, too."

他新的光能依恋。 正如艾萨克·牛顿爵士在他的《哲学》一书中如此简单地阐述了他的三大运动定律。 《自然数学原理》……” Klink停顿了一下，哼了一秒钟。 ”“我刚刚读过。用拉丁文原文。” “哦!哦！”克兰克补充道。“我也在读那个。” 他眨了眨他的天线灯泡。 “篮球场上有一块奶酪，如果你触摸它，你就会得到奶酪触摸。 就像虱子一样。”link呼呼作响，搜索着他的记忆。 “我不明白艾萨克·牛顿爵士在哪里写了关于奶酪的触摸…… 或者塔戈墓室……”沃森笑。 “这是《小屁孩日记》第一部里的。” “是的！”克兰克嘟嘟地叫着，挥舞着他那长着水管的大胳膊。 “太神奇了!”艾萨克·牛顿爵士在那本书里也很擅长画画。”

"No, no, no," protests Klink. Watson nods. "Wait until you get to the end." Klank stops moving. "What? Does something bad happen? Something scary?" Klink hums and speed-reads from his library connection. "Rowley has to—" "Don't tell him!" says Watson. "Why not?" asks Klink. "It's more fun to read it yourself." "It is information. How can it be fun?" "Because. It just is." "Hmmmmmmmmmm," fumes Klink. Frank laughs. "I can't believe you guys are arguing about cheese. Klink, help us out with 'simple machines.'" "Researching 'simple,'" says Klink. "Six simple

“不，不，不，”Klink抗议道。 沃森点点头。“等你读到最后再说。” Klank停止了移动。“什么? 有什么不好的事情发生吗？ 可怕的东西?”Klink哼着歌，从他的图书馆连接中快速阅读。 “罗利必须——”“别告诉他！”华生说。 “为什么不呢？”Klink问。“自己读会更有趣。” “这是信息。怎么可能有趣呢？”“因为。 就是这样。”“嗯嗯嗯，”克林克气呼呼地说。 弗兰克笑着说。“我真不敢相信你们在争论奶酪。 Klink，帮我们弄点简单的机器。’”“研究‘很简单’，”Klink说。 “六个简单

machines: the simplest mechanisms that provide mechanical advantage... for you weak humans." Watson eyes Klink. "That last bit doesn't sound like part of the definition." Klink spins his webcam eye. "I added it because it is true. One: the inclined plane." "Like a ramp," says Frank. "Two: the wedge." "An ax," says Frank.

机器：提供机械优势的最简单的机制…… 给你们这些软弱的人类。”华生眼睛眨了一下。 “最后一点听起来不像是定义的一部分。” Klink转动他的摄像头眼睛。 “我加上这句是因为这是真的。 一：斜面。”“就像一个斜坡，”弗兰克说。 “二：楔子。”“一把斧头，”弗兰克说。

"Three: the lever." "Like a crowbar," says Watson. "Four: the screw." "Like a screw!" guesses Klank.

“三：杠杆。”“就像撬棍一样，”沃森说。 “四：螺丝。”“像个螺丝钉！”克兰克猜测。

"Five: the wheel." "Bicycle wheel," says Watson. "And six: the pulley." "Like the pulleys in Grampa Al's

“五：轮子。”“自行车轮子，”沃森说。 “第六：滑轮。”“就像阿尔爷爷家的滑轮一样
