经典科幻文学:《宇宙尽头的餐馆》第24章3

“Oh All right,” he said, “if you must. Ask them what they want to drink.”
A hard cold gleam came into Number Two’s eyes. He advanced slowly on Ford Prefect and Arthur Dent.
“All right, you scum,” he growled, “you vermin…” He jabbed Ford with the Kill-O-Zap gun.
“Steady on, Number Two,” admonished the Captain gently.
“What do you want to drink!!!” Number Two screamed.
“Well the jynnan tonnyx sounds very nice to me,” said Ford, “What about you Arthur?”
Arthur blinked.
“What? Oh, er, yes,” he said.
“With ice or without?” bellowed Number Two.
“Oh, with please,” said Ford.
“Lemon??!!”
“Yes please,” said Ford, “and do you have any of those little biscuits? You know, the cheesy ones?”
“I’m asking the questions!!!!” howled Number Two, his body quaking with apoplectic fury.
“Er, Number Two…” said the Captain softly.
“Sir?!”
“Push off, would you, there’s a good chap. I’m trying to have a relaxing bath.”

“那好吧，”他说，“如果你坚持的话。问问他们想喝什么。”
二号的眼里闪过一丝玲酷的光芒。他缓缓走到福特长官和阿瑟·邓特面前。
“好吧，你们这些人渣，”他咆哮道，“歹徒……”他用蒸发轰击枪顶着福特。
“镇定点儿，二号，”舰长文雅地告诫道。
“你们想喝什么？”2号尖叫道。
“哦，我觉得基南汤力克斯听起来不错。”福特说，“你呢，阿瑟？”
阿瑟眨巴着眼睛。
“什么？噢，嗯，是的。”他说。
“要加冰吗？”2号怒吼道。
“噢，当然，”福特说。
“柠檬呢？”
“是的，谢谢。”福特说，“还有，你有那种小饼干吗？你知道，加奶酪那种。”
“发问的人是我！”2号嚎叫道，气得浑身颤抖。
“嗯，二号！”舰长温和地说。
“长官！”
“你能离开一下吗，你干得很好，但现在我想放松地洗个澡。”
