6 THE CLIMB

CHAPTER 6 THE CLIMB Crack! Thunk! Clang! Roz was having a little trouble climbing the cliffs. She had a new dent on her rear and a long scrape down her side. And she was just about to get another ding when a crab scuttled out from under a piece of driftwood. The crab looked up and immediately showed off his giant claws. Everyone was afraid of his claws. But not the robot. She just looked down and introduced herself. "Hello, crab, my name is Roz." After a brief standoff, the crab cautiously backed away. And that's when Roz noticed how easily he moved over the rocks. With his wide stance and his grippy feet, the crab could crawl up and down any rock face. So Roz decided to try out his climbing technique. She spread her arms wide and clamped

第六章攀爬的裂缝！铛!铿锵声!罗兹在爬悬崖时遇到了点麻烦。 她的屁股上有一个新的凹痕，身体两侧有一道长长的刮痕。 就在她准备再叮一次的时候，一只螃蟹从一块浮木下面钻了出来。 螃蟹抬起头来，立刻亮出他的大爪子。 每个人都害怕他的爪子。 但不是机器人。她只是低下头介绍了自己。 “你好，螃蟹，我叫罗兹。” 短暂的对峙之后，螃蟹小心翼翼地后退。 就在那时，罗兹注意到他在岩石上移动是多么容易。 螃蟹站得很宽，脚抓得很紧，可以在任何岩石表面上爬上爬下。 所以罗兹决定试试他的攀爬技术。 她张开双臂夹住

each of her hands onto the cliffside. She jammed one foot into a crack and lifted her other foot onto a narrow ledge, and just like that she was climbing. Roz moved awkwardly at first. A chunk of rock crumbled in her hand, and she had trouble finding footholds. But as she climbed higher and higher, she started to get the hang of it. Seagulls squawked from their cliff nests and soared away when the robot came too close. But Roz paid them no mind. She was focused only on getting to the top. Up and up and up she went, methodically climbing past nests and ledges and tiny trees rooted in the cracks, and before long our robot felt the soft soil of the island beneath her feet.

她的两只手都放在悬崖边。 她把一只脚塞进裂缝里，把另一只脚抬到一个狭窄的岩架上，就这样往上爬。 罗兹起初行动笨拙。 一块岩石在她手里碎了，她很难找到落脚点。 但当她爬得越来越高时，她开始掌握了窍门。 当机器人靠得太近时，海鸥会从悬崖上的巢里尖叫着飞走。 但是罗兹没有把他们放在心上。 她一心只想登上顶峰。 她爬啊，爬啊，爬啊，有条不紊地爬过巢穴、岩架和裂缝里的小树，没过多久，我们的机器人就摸到了脚下岛上柔软的土壤。
