Chapter 2 A spaceship made of plastic
2 塑料做的飞船
I couldn't believe what I'd done．I'd run away—me！
我的所作所为真是难以置信。我跑掉了——天啊！
I'm not very brave and I love my parents very much．I never thought I could ever disobey them．
我的胆子不是很大，我也非常爱我的父母。我从没想过我会不听他们的。
I was afraid．And I felt sad for my parents．Poor mother and father！
我害怕。我为我的父母感到难过。可怜的妈妈、爸爸！
But I had to live my own life．I couldn't get married to a horrible old man like Buffalo！
但我要过自己的生活。我不能嫁给水牛那样的糟老头子！
I knew they would follow me quickly so I told the spaceship to take me to a very quiet part of the Galaxy，a long way from any planets with people on．
我清楚他们会很快跟上我的，所以我吩咐飞船把我带到银河系的一个特别宁静的角落，离任何一个有人类居住的星球都很远很远。
The spaceship went．
飞船进发了。
How can a spaceship travel across the Galaxy in no time at all？
飞船怎么能在瞬间横穿银河系呢？
Well，I learnt the answer to that in school．There are a lot of little black holes in space．They are about as big as a potato．A spaceship goes into one black hole and comes out of another black hole on the other side of the Galaxy．
喔，我是在学校里知道这答案的。宇宙空间里有好多小黑洞。它们跟土豆差不多大小。飞船从一个黑洞进去，从另一个黑洞出来时就到了银河系的另一侧。
Don't ask me how a big thing like a spaceship can go into a thing as small as a potato．I was probably asleep when the robot teacher told me the answer to that！
别问我为什么飞船这样的庞然大物能钻进土豆这样小的东西里。机器人老师给我讲这个答案时我可能睡着了！
Nobody could find me now．I was in the middle of the Galaxy in empty space．
现在没人能找到我了。我在茫茫太空中，在银河系的中间。
There were stars above my head，stars below my feet，starson my left hand，stars on my right hand．
我的头上是星星，脚下是星星，左边是星星，右边是星星。
Strange．I knew all these stars were a long，long way away but they didn't look far away．They looked very close；I wanted to reach out my hand and touch them．
奇怪，我知道所有这些星星都很遥远很遥远，但看上去并不远。他们似乎非常近；我想伸出手去触摸它们。
And the silence．So very，very， very quiet．
还有寂静。静极了，静极了。
The Book of Remembering says how I felt：'Their hearts were empty．'
《往事追忆》道出了我的感受：“他们的心里空荡荡的。”
