13 Peanut's Weird Story

13 Peanut's Weird Story So, I thought we could start by going over some basic physics stuff," said Rockwell, barely able to suppress the excitement in his voice. "Forces and motion, maybe? Death Breath said he was going to test us tomorrow, and I bet that Newton's Second Law comes up. Must remember that acceleration is inversely proportional to mass. I always forget that bit. Peanut took a bite of her apple. "Whatever. "OK, what's up?" sighed Rockwell. "Have you changed your mind about studying together? Do you want me to walk five metres ahead of you as usual?" "No, it's not that. It's just... Oh, never mind. "Come on, Peanut. Tell me. That's what friends are for,

13 花生的奇妙故事 “那个，我觉得我们可以先从基础物理知识开始复习，”罗克韦尔说，声音里几乎藏不住兴奋。 “先复习力和运动，怎么样？ “死亡呼吸”说明天要考我们，我打赌肯定会考牛顿第二定律。 一定要记住加速度和质量成反比。 我总是记不住这点。 花生咬了一口自己的苹果。 “无所谓。 “好了，你到底怎么了？”罗克韦尔叹了口气。 “你改变主意要一起复习了吗？ 你还要我像平常一样跟你隔五米走吗？” “不，不是这个事儿。 就是…… 哦，算了。 “快说啊，花生。 告诉我吧。 朋友不就是用来分担的嘛,

after all." "We're not friends," she spluttered, accidentally spraying Rockwell with bits of chewed apple. "OK," he replied, wiping his face. "That's what study buddies are for then. He smiled, showing a set of perfectly even, white teeth. "Please..." "All right then, but I'm warning you, it's a bit weird. Rockwell swallowed, steeled himself, and said, "OK. Shoot. She told him what had happened the night before. About the argument, the wooden box, the Post-it notes, the pencil and the strange drawing that came to life. It had been a long time since she had shared anything about herself With anybody, and she was surprised at how nice it felt. Also, saying it out loud made it feel real, like it had actually happened. When she'd finished describing the "water" splashing on to the Fantastic Four postcard, she stopped and looked

毕竟呀。” “我们才不是朋友，”她气急败坏地说，不小心把嚼碎的苹果渣喷了罗克韦尔一脸。 “好吧，”他一边擦脸一边回答。 “那就算是学习伙伴好了。 他笑了，露出一口整齐白净的好牙。 “拜托……” “那好吧，但我先警告你，这件事有点奇怪。 罗克韦尔咽了口唾沫，鼓起勇气说：“没问题。 说吧。 她把前一天晚上发生的事告诉了他。 说了那场争吵、木盒子、便利贴、铅笔，还有那幅活过来的奇怪图画。 她已经很久没跟任何人聊过自己的事了，没想到说出来感觉这么好。 而且，大声说出来之后，这件事变得真实起来，就好像真的发生过一样。 讲完“水”溅到神奇四侠明信片上的事后，她停下来看着

at Rockwell. "You think I've lost the plot, don't you?" "Nooooooo. Why would I think that?" replied Rockwell. "If you say that's what you think you saw, then as far as I'm concerned, that's what you think you saw. Er, just out of interest, have you been feeling under the weather recently? Have you maybe eaten anything... unusual at all?" "I don't think I saw it, I did actually see it," snapped Peanut. "See? I knew it was pointless telling you!" "OK, OK. I'm sorry. So, have you brought this magic pencil with you today?" Of course I have. It's in my pocket. Rockwell paused to think. "OK. Well, as Mr Dawkins says, if you really want to see whether something will behave the way you think It is going to behave, you have to conduct a controlled experiment to prove or disprove your hypothesis.

罗克韦尔。 “你觉得我疯了对不对？” “才没有呢。 我怎么会这么想？”罗克韦尔回答。 “如果你说你确实看到了这些，那在我这儿，我就认你说的。 呃，就是随便问问，你最近身体有没有不舒服呀？ 你有没有……吃过什么不太对劲的东西吗？” “我不是以为我看到了，我是真的看到了！”花生厉声说。 “你看！ 我就知道告诉你也没用！” “好了好了。 对不起嘛。 那你今天把那支魔法铅笔带来了吗？” 当然带来了呀。 就在我口袋里。 罗克韦尔停下来想了想。 “好吧。 就像道金斯先生说的，如果你真的想验证一件事会不会按你想的那样发展，就得做对照实验来证明或者推翻你的假设。

"Your what?" "Your hypothesis. It's a theory you can test. In other words, we need to test the pencil." He reached into the inside pocket of his blazer, pulled out his diary and started flipping through the pages. "Brilliant! It's SLPC today! Meet me in Lab 3 at twelve thirty. "What's SLPC?" asked Peanut. "Student-Led Physics Club. Don't worry, I'm the only member, so we'll have the lab to ourselves. We'll be able to conduct our little experiment in peace.

“你的啥？” “你的假设呀。 就是一个可以验证的理论。 换句话说，我们得测试一下这支铅笔。” 他伸手摸进运动外套的内兜，掏出日记本翻了起来。 “太棒了！ 今天有SLPC活动！ 十二点半到三号实验室找我。 “SLPC是什么？”花生问。 “学生自主物理社团。 别担心，只有我一个成员，整个实验室都是我们的。 我们可以安安静静地做这个小实验。
