经典科幻文学:《银河系漫游指南》第13章 Part5

"London," insisted Arthur, "Islington."
"Oh," said Zaphod with a guilty start, "that party."
This wasn't fair on Ford at all. He looked backwards and forwards between Arthur and Zaphod. "What?" he said to Zaphod. "You don't mean to say you've been on that miserable planet as well do you?"
"No, of course not," said Zaphod breezily. "Well, I may have just dropped in briefly, you know, on my way somewhere ..."
"But I was stuck there for fifteen years!"
"Well I didn't know that did I?"
"But what were you doing there?"
"Looking about, you know."
"He gatecrashed a party," persisted Arthur, trembling with anger, "a fancy dress party ..."
"It would have to be, wouldn't it?" said Ford.

“伦敦，”阿瑟坚持说，“伊思林顿。”
“哦。”赞福德开始有点儿心虚了，“那个派对。”
这对福特来说完全是不公平的。他脑袋转来转去，一会儿看着阿瑟，一会儿又看着赞福德。“什么？”他冲赞福德说，“你不会是说你也曾经在那个可怜的小行星上待过吧，是吗？”
“没有，当然没有。”赞福德轻快地说，“不过，嗯，我好像很短暂地去过一次，是在上什么地方的途中……”
“可我被困在那儿待了整整15年！”
“喔，我又不知道，不是吗？”
“可你去那儿干什么？”
“找点儿……你知道的……”
“他擅自闯入了一个派对。”阿瑟说，气得浑身直哆嗦，“一个奇装异服派对……”
“那又怎么样？”福特问。
