Chapter 11

CHAPTER 3 The pigeons try to get the PIGBOT to talk. "I'll ask you again," says Rock. "Where are Kakapo, Barb, and the other pigeons? And did you and Jungle Crow steal our pine tree?" But the PIGBOT refuses. "No. Comment." "If you're going to be like that," says Rock, "we'll take you to someone who can get machines to talk."

第三章 鸽子们想让猪机器人开口说话。 “我再问你一次，”洛克说。 “鸮鹦鹉、巴布还有其他鸽子都在哪儿？ 还有你和丛林乌鸦是不是偷了我们的松树？” 但猪机器人不肯回答。 “无、可、奉、告。” “你要是就这态度，”洛克说，“我们就把你带去个能让机器开口的人那儿。”

They carry the PIGBOT to the dumpster. Straw Neck peers down her long beak. "Oh my gosling," she says. "You have one of my robot pigeons!" Rock is gobsmacked. "YOU invented the PIGBOTS, Straw Neck?" "Yes!" she says. "They are my babies." "Straw. Neck?" "That's Mommy Straw Neck to you!"

他们抬着猪机器人走到垃圾桶那儿。 稻草颈探了探自己长长的鸟喙。 “我的小鹅崽呀，”她说。 “你们居然找到我的一只机器鸽子啦！” 洛克惊呆了。 “猪机器人是你发明的，稻草颈？” “对呀！” 她说。 “它们都是我的宝贝呀。” “稻、草、颈？” “你该叫我稻草颈妈妈才对！”

"Their brains are old microchips," she says. "Their hearts are flashlight batteries. And I made them always hungry—just like real pigeons!" "I need a bread snack." "I. Need. A. Screw. Snack." "Are you working with Jungle Crow?" says Rock, poking Trent at the ibis. "No," says Straw Neck. "I created the PIGBOTS to help me invent things. But they were stolen before I could switch them on."

“它们的大脑是旧微芯片做的，”她说。 “它们的心脏是手电筒的电池。 我还把它们设置成永远吃不饱——就和真的鸽子一模一样！” “我要吃面包小零食。” “我、要、 吃、螺、丝、 小零食。” “你是不是和丛林乌鸦一伙的？”洛克说着，戳了戳旁边的朱鹮特伦特。 “不是呀，”稻草颈说。 “我发明猪机器人是为了让它们帮我搞发明。 可我还没来得及开机，它们就被偷走了。”

"I found a bag of screws!" says Homey. "Maybe now the PIGBOT will talk." Rock marches up to the PIGBOT. "If you want to eat these screws, tell us EVERYTHING."

“我找到一袋螺丝啦！”霍米说。 “说不定现在猪机器人肯说话了。” 洛克大步走到猪机器人面前。 “你要是想吃这些螺丝，就把一切都告诉我们。”

The PIGBOT explains immediately. Jungle Crow stole the PIGBOTS one day when Straw Neck wasn't looking. Then he dressed up like Barb Pigeon. "Hello, dears!" "We love you, Barb." "I know you do... I mean, I love you too, pigeons."

猪机器人立刻就交代了。 有一天稻草颈没注意，丛林乌鸦把猪机器人都偷走了。 然后他打扮成了鸽子巴布的样子。 “你们好呀，小宝贝们！” “我们爱你，巴布。” “我知道你们爱我…… 我是说，我也爱你们呀，小鸽子们。”

He dug a big hole in the park and covered it with a picnic blanket and a fake family. Then he tricked all the city pigeons into it! "Sure, we'll go down here. We trust you, Barb!" Jungle Crow didn't want any crime-fighting pigeons to interfere with his EVIL PLAN.

他在公园里挖了个大洞，上面盖了张野餐毯，还摆了个假的一家人模型。 然后他把城里所有鸽子都骗进了洞里！ “好呀，我们这就下去。 我们信你，巴布！” 丛林乌鸦不想让任何打击犯罪的鸽子干扰他的邪恶计划。
