27 THE BROKEN ROBOT

CHAPTER 27 THE BROKEN ROBOT The Shareefs found their robot powered off, lying in a ditch by the road. Her left leg was crumpled beneath her torso, her right arm was twisted around a tree trunk, and her whole body was covered in new scrapes and dents. Together, the family heaved Roz into the bed of the pickup truck, where Oscar was waiting. The dog sniffed her broken body while the Shareefs climbed in beside him. Then Rambler turned around. The road was littered with debris from the storm, and the truck had to drive slowly. As they bounced along, Jad pressed the button on the back of Roz's head. She powered up and her garbled voice automatically said, "Helloooo, I am ROZZZZZZUM unit 7134, but youuu may call me Rozzz." Oscar licked the poor robot's face and Jad leaned in close. "Roz, can you hear me? Are you okay?" "Hellooo, Jad. I have brrroken limbs and mmminor

第二十七章坏掉的机器人雪利夫一家发现他们的机器人断电了，躺在路边的沟里。 她的左腿蜷缩在身体下面，右臂扭在树干上，全身都是新的刮痕和凹痕。 一家人一起把罗兹抬到皮卡的床上，奥斯卡在那里等着。 狗嗅了嗅她受伤的尸体，雪利夫夫妇爬到他身边。 然后漫步者转过身来。 路上到处都是暴风雨留下的残骸，卡车不得不慢慢行驶。 当他们弹跳着前进时，杰德按下了罗兹后脑勺上的按钮。 她接通了电源，她那浑浊的声音自动说道：“你好，我是7134单元的ROZZZZZZUM，但你可以叫我rozzzzz。” 奥斯卡舔了舔可怜的机器人的脸，杰德凑近了。 “罗兹，你能听到我说话吗？”你还好吗？”“Hellooo, Jad。 我断过四肢和脚

damage to mmmy computer brrrain. My sssystems are nnnow repairing themmmselves. Pleeease stand byyy." The robot's glowing eyes pulsed as her recovery program did its job. And before long, Roz sounded like her old self. "My computer brain is now fully functional." Jad wrapped his arms around the robot and sobbed. "I'm so sorry, Roz! It's my fault the tornado got you! Please don't be mad!" Now Jaya was crying too. She pulled her brother and her dog and her robot into a big hug. Mr. Shareef wasn't much of a hugger, but he reached over and laid his hand on Roz's shoulder. They stayed like that for some time, quietly holding one another. The shock of the tornado was fresh, and it felt good to be together. "Mr. Shareef, I apologize for leaving the farm without your permission," said the robot. The man smiled. "No need to apologize, Roz. I'm just glad you're alive." "How are the cows?" said Roz. "The farm is a mess, but the cows are fine," said Mr. Shareef. "We'll take you to the repair shop right

损坏了我的电脑大脑。 我的身体系统现在正在自我修复。 请站在旁边。”当她的恢复程序完成工作时，机器人发光的眼睛跳动着。 不久之后，罗兹的声音又恢复了原来的样子。 “我的电脑大脑现在功能齐全。” 杰德双手抱住机器人，抽泣起来。 “我很抱歉，罗兹！龙卷风把你卷走都是我的错！请不要生气！”现在查雅也哭了。 她把她的哥哥、她的狗和她的机器人紧紧地拥抱在一起。 谢里夫不太喜欢拥抱，但他伸出手，把手放在罗兹的肩膀上。 他们就这样呆了一会儿，静静地抱着对方。 龙卷风的冲击是新鲜的，在一起的感觉很好。 “Shareef先生，我很抱歉没有得到你的允许就离开了农场，”机器人说。 那人笑了。“没必要道歉，罗兹。 我很高兴你还活着。” “奶牛怎么样了？”罗兹说。 “农场一团糟，但奶牛很好，”谢里夫说。 “我们马上送你去修理店

now and you'll be with the herd again soon."

好了，你很快就会回到兽群里来的。”
