4 Robot Reception

Chapter Four Robot Reception "Huh," said Abigail. She peered out the explorer pod window. They were just entering the atmosphere of the planet below. "What is it?" said Elias. "Please tell me nothing bad." "Nothing bad," said Abigail. "Definitely weird. But I'm still going with nothing bad." Finn strained to see out the window, as well. In the distance, he could see what looked like a small village. But right below them, outside a big stone building, a group of robots stood looking up at the ship. "What's so weird about that?" said Finn. "They're just there to welcome us. My mom sent a signal down. They know we're coming." "Sure," said Abigail. "But... wait a second."

“嗯。”阿比盖尔说。 她从探险舱的窗户往外看。 它们刚刚进入下面那颗行星的大气层。 “什么事？”以利亚问。“请不要告诉我不好的事。” “没什么不好的。”阿比盖尔说。 “绝对奇怪。但我仍然没有什么不好的。” 芬恩也使劲往窗外看。 在远处，他可以看到一个看起来像小村庄的东西。 但就在他们下面，在一座巨大的石头建筑外面，一群机器人站在那里抬头看着飞船。 “这有什么奇怪的？”芬恩说。 “他们只是在那里欢迎我们。 我妈妈给我发了个信号。 他们知道我们要来。”“当然。”阿比盖尔说。 “但是……等一下。”

"Oh, I can't wait!" said Foggy. He'd already unbuckled and was pressed against the window. Finn watched as the robots moved, all at once. There were maybe twenty metal creatures on the surface of the planet, all of them humanoid. They shuffled around until they formed a circle. Then, at the same time, they all raised their right arms, one finger pointing to the sky. "Are they pointing at us?" asked Finn. "Wait for it," said Abigail. Then the robots danced. There was no other way to describe it. They shook it to the left. They shook it to the right. They all moved in unison, arms waving, legs kicking, robot hips swinging like no one was watching.

“哦，我等不及了！”福吉说。 他已经解开安全带，被压在窗户上。 芬恩看着机器人突然移动。 行星表面大概有20个金属生物，都是类人生物。 他们绕来绕去，直到围成一个圈。 然后，在同一时间，他们都举起右手，一个手指指向天空。 “他们在指着我们吗？”芬恩问。 “等等。”阿比盖尔说。 然后机器人开始跳舞。没有其他的方式来形容它。 他们把它摇向左边。 他们把它向右摇晃。 他们都步调一致地移动着，手臂挥舞着，腿踢着，机器人的臀部摇摆着，就像没有人在看一样。

Finn and Abigail laughed. "What is it?" asked Elias, who was seated in the back of the pod. "I can't see." "They're dancing," said Finn. "Specifically, I think they're doing some kind of Hokey Pokey," said Abigail. "Ah yes, the universal dance," said Foggy. He could barely contain his excitement to meet his fellow robots. Abigail tried to land the pod a safe distance from the robots, but as their ship got closer to the ground, the robots fanned out. They seemed to want the ship to land in the middle of their circle. "Um, generally it's not a good idea to run toward a landing spacecraft," said Abigail. "I don't want to squash any bots." "Oh, you won't," said Foggy. "We are far too intelligent for that." "We?" said Finn. "Aren't you one of us?" The pod jerked as Abigail touched down. When Finn looked up, Explorers Troop 301 was surrounded. Foggy was the first off the ship. "Hallo, new friends!" he shouted as he landed on the flat, rocky surface of the planet. The ground

芬恩和阿比盖尔笑了。“这是什么？”坐在舱后的伊莱亚斯问。 “我看不见。”“他们在跳舞，”芬恩说。 “确切地说，我认为他们是在胡闹，”阿比盖尔说。 “啊，是的，宇宙之舞。”福吉说。 要见到他的机器人同伴，他几乎无法抑制自己的兴奋。 阿比盖尔试图让太空舱在离机器人安全距离的地方着陆，但当飞船接近地面时，机器人散开了。 他们似乎想让船停在他们的圆圈中间。 “嗯，一般来说，跑向着陆的宇宙飞船不是个好主意，”阿比盖尔说。 “我不想压制任何机器人。” “哦，你不会的，”福吉说。 “我们太聪明了，做不到这一点。” “我们？”芬恩说。“你不是我们中的一员吗？”阿比盖尔着陆时，吊舱猛地一动。 芬恩抬头一看，301探险队被包围了。 福吉是第一个下船的。 “你好，新朋友们！”当他降落在这颗行星平坦的岩石表面时，他喊道。 地面

was shiny and marbled, like a kitchen counter. "We come in peace!" "The captain is supposed to make the first greeting," grumbled Abigail. "But I guess you can have this one, Foggy." The robots didn't respond, but they did start dancing again. The circle drew tighter as the robots closed in on the ship. They snapped their fingers and shimmied toward the explorers as each astronaut disembarked. "I'm Abigail Obaro, captain of Explorers Troop 301," shouted Abigail. "We come from the Famous Marlowe 280 Interplanetary Exploratory Space Station. We mean you no harm."

闪闪发光，大理石花纹，像厨房柜台。 “我们为和平而来！”“船长应该第一个打招呼。”阿比盖尔抱怨道。 “不过，福吉，我想你可以用这个。” 机器人没有反应，但它们又开始跳舞了。 随着机器人向飞船逼近，这个圈子越来越紧。 当每个宇航员下飞机时，他们打了个响指，摇摇晃晃地向探险者走去。 “我是阿比盖尔·奥巴罗，301探险队的队长。”阿比盖尔喊道。 “我们来自著名的马洛280星际探索空间站。 我们没有恶意。”

The robots' dance became simpler as they got closer. Now they were doing a very basic Running Man, arms and legs pumping up and down. "Should we be worried?" whispered Elias. The robots were now just a few yards from the explorers. "Why aren't they saying anything?" Finn asked. Now the robots were just a few feet away. "We come in peace!" Foggy shouted again. He was boogying as best he could in response.

机器人的舞蹈越靠近就越简单。 现在他们正在做一个非常基本的跑步人，胳膊和腿上下摆动。 “我们应该担心吗？”伊莱亚斯小声说。 机器人现在离探险者只有几码远了。 “他们为什么什么都不说？”芬恩问道。 现在机器人就在几英尺远的地方。 “我们为和平而来！”福吉又喊了一声。 作为回应，他正在尽其所能地模仿。
