14 THE BEARS

CHAPTER 14 THE BEARS Roz stomped into the cave. And then she stomped right back out. "Please stay away!" said the robot to the two bears who were now nipping at her heels. You see, when Roz stomped into the cave, she accidentally woke a brother and sister bear from their morning nap, which is never a good idea. And to make matters worse, bears have an instinct that drives them to attack when a creature runs away, especially if the creature running away is a mysterious, sparkling monster. So as the startled bears watched Roz stomping out of their cave, they really had no choice at all. They simply had to take up the chase. Roz tried her best to outrun the bears. She leaped over rocks and wove through trees and stomped across the mountainside at full speed. But the bears were young and strong and fast, and the robot still had so much to learn about moving through the

第十四章熊罗兹大步走进山洞。 然后她又一脚踩了出去。 “请走开！”机器人对紧跟在她后面的两只熊说。 你看，当罗兹踏进洞穴时，她不小心吵醒了正在午睡的熊兄妹，这可不是什么好主意。 更糟糕的是，熊有一种本能，当生物逃跑时，它们会攻击，尤其是如果逃跑的生物是一个神秘的、闪闪发光的怪物。 因此，当受惊的熊们看着罗兹跺着脚走出洞穴时，它们真的别无选择。 他们只得继续追击。 萝丝尽她最大的努力跑过熊。 她跳过岩石，穿过树木，以最快的速度踏过山坡。 但是熊很年轻，强壮，速度很快，机器人还有很多要学的

wilderness. She never even saw the tree root. One moment she was stomping along, and the next moment she was flying through the air and thumping down onto a rotten log. Clumps of soft wood stuck to her side as she stood and faced her attackers. Wouldn't you be afraid if two bears were charging toward you? Of course you would! Everyone would! Even the robot felt something like fear. Roz was programmed to take care of herself. She was programmed to stay alive. And as the robot watched those bears charging toward her, she knew her life was in serious danger. The bears slammed into Roz, knocking her against the trunk of a towering tree. Then one bear dove at her legs, and the other clawed at her chest. If only the robot had swung her fists or kicked her feet, she could have scared them off. One good bop in the nose would have sent them running. But the robot's programming would not allow her to be violent. Clearly, Roz was not designed to fight bears. Powerful jaws chomped her arms. Sharp claws slashed her face. A massive head rammed her chest. "Please stay away!" said the robot. "Roarrrr!" said the sister bear.

荒野。她甚至都没见过树根。 前一秒她还在跺脚，下一秒她就飞到空中，砰地一声落在一根腐烂的木头上。 当她站在那里面对攻击者时，一簇簇的软木头粘在了她的身边。 如果有两只熊朝你冲过来，你不会害怕吗？ 你当然会！每个人都会!就连机器人也感到了某种恐惧。 萝丝生来就会照顾好自己。 她被设定为活下去。 当机器人看着那些熊冲向她时，她知道自己的生命处于严重危险之中。 熊猛扑向罗兹，把她撞在一棵参天大树的树干上。 然后一只熊扑向她的腿，另一只抓她的胸口。 如果机器人挥舞她的拳头或踢她的脚，她就可以把他们吓跑了。 鼻子上一拳就能把他们吓跑。 但是机器人的程序不允许她有暴力行为。 显然，罗兹不是为熊设计的。 有力的下颚咬着她的手臂。 锋利的爪子划破了她的脸。 一个巨大的脑袋撞在她的胸前。 “请走开！”机器人说。 “咆哮！”熊妹妹说。

"Grrrrrr!" said the brother bear. And then the bears went in for the kill. But the robot had vanished.

“呜——呜！”熊哥哥说。 然后熊就开始猎杀了。 但是机器人已经消失了。
