15 THE ESCAPE

CHAPTER 15 THE ESCAPE Using all the strength in her legs, Roz jumped straight up, high into the air, and landed on a tree branch overhead. The tree shook with the sudden weight of the robot, and then—thunk thunk!—two pinecones bounced off Roz, and a moment later—thunk thunk!—the same pinecones bounced off the bears below. The bears grunted with annoyance. This gave Roz an idea. The robot's programming stopped her from being violent, but nothing stopped her from being annoying. So Roz plucked pinecones from the nearby branches and lobbed them down at the bears. Thunk! Thunk! Thunk! Thunk! Each pinecone bounced off its target with annoying accuracy and whipped the young bears into a frenzy.

第十五章逃跑萝丝用尽双腿的全部力量，笔直地跳到空中，落在头顶上的一根树枝上。 树被机器人突然的重量震动了，然后，砰的一声！——两个松果从罗兹身上弹了起来，片刻之后——“咚”的一声！——同样的松果被下面的熊弹了回来。 熊们恼怒地咕噜着。 这给了罗兹一个主意。机器人的程序阻止了她的暴力行为，但没有什么能阻止她的烦人。 于是，罗兹从附近的树枝上摘下松果，扔向熊。 铛!铛!铛!铛!每一个松果都以令人讨厌的精准度弹回了目标，把小熊们打得狂乱不堪。

"Roarrrr!" said the sister bear. "Grrrrrr!" said the brother bear. "I do not understand you, bears," said the robot. Roz was about to unload a whole armful of annoying pinecones when a distant roar echoed through the forest. Back at the cave, the mother bear was calling for these two, and she did not sound happy. The young bears looked at each other. They knew they were in trouble. But before lumbering home, they glared up at Roz and snorted one last time. More than anything, they wanted to kill the robot.

“咆哮！”熊妹妹说。 “呜——呜！”熊哥哥说。 “我不明白你们的意思，熊，”机器人说。 罗兹正要卸下一抱令人讨厌的松果，这时远处的轰鸣声在森林中回荡。 回到洞穴后，熊妈妈在呼唤这两个孩子，听起来不太高兴。 小熊们面面相觑。 他们知道自己有麻烦了。 但在笨重地回家之前，他们盯着罗兹，最后一次哼了一声。 最重要的是，他们想杀死机器人。
