69 THE TRAIN

CHAPTER 69 THE TRAIN Our robot felt something like panic as the train pulled away from the station. She wanted to break down the door, leap from the train, and find her son! But what could Roz do? She had to act like a normal robot— she had to pretend that nothing was wrong. The train car's interior was a long, windowless room, filled with rows and rows of robots. The robots were all facing forward, all standing still. If not for their softly glowing eyes, you might think they were statues. Some of the robots were perfect and new, but most had scrapes and dents. None more than ROZZUM unit 7134. Roz walked down the aisle and stood in the last row, and the train started to accelerate. Faster and faster it went, until it reached its cruising speed. Then it hummed along the tracks, occasionally swinging left or right as it snaked around a curve. With no windows, Roz could only wonder how far she was

第六十九章火车当火车驶离车站时，我们的机器人感到一阵恐慌。 她想破门而入，从火车上跳下来，找到她的儿子！但是罗兹能做什么呢？ 她必须表现得像一个正常的机器人——她必须假装一切正常。 车厢内部是一个没有窗户的长房间，里面摆满了一排排的机器人。 所有的机器人都面朝前方，一动不动地站着。 如果不是因为他们温柔发光的眼睛，你可能会认为他们是雕像。 一些机器人是完美的，新的，但大多数有擦伤和凹痕。 就是ROZZUM 7134单元。 罗兹沿着过道走到最后一排，火车开始加速。 它越开越快，直到达到它的巡航速度。 然后它沿着轨道嗡嗡作响，偶尔左右摇摆，因为它在一个弯道上蜿蜒而行。 没有窗户，罗兹只能想知道她有多远

traveling, she could only wonder about the scenery outside. Mostly, she wondered about her son. Was Brightbill okay? How would she find him? Would they ever see each other again? Of course they would. Brightbill was smart and resourceful. The goose would simply follow the train tracks into the city. Then he would find his pigeon friend, Graybeak, and she would help them reunite. Roz just had to stay out of trouble. Time crawled by. The robots gently swayed with the motion of the train. Finally, there was an announcement from the loudspeaker. "Next and final stop, Center City Station." A whistle blew and the train braked and slowed and came to a smooth stop. The door slid open and the robots filed out.

旅行时，她只能对外面的风景感到好奇。 她最担心的是她的儿子。 布莱特比尔还好吗？她要怎么找到他呢？ 他们还会再见面吗？ 他们当然会。布莱特比尔既聪明又足智多谋。 这只鹅只会顺着铁轨进入城市。 然后他会找到他的鸽子朋友格雷比克，她会帮助他们团聚。 罗兹只要不惹麻烦就行了。 时间慢慢过去了。机器人随着火车的移动而轻轻地摇晃。 最后，喇叭里传来了广播。 “下一站也是最后一站，中城站” 汽笛一响，火车煞车，减速，平稳地停了下来。 门开了，机器人鱼贯而入。
