雙語讀電影 《機器人總動員》第20章 :伊芙意識到垃圾滑槽一路向上通往艦橋！

A towel cart—with EVE and WALL · E hiding behind it—slowly moved across the lido deck as the ship’s announcer said, “Attention, passengers. The lido deck is now closing.” Beach umbrellas suspended over hover chairs snapped shut, and the last few passengers glided out of the pool area. They were all dressed in blue except for the two wearing red in the pool.

“Hey now, stop that!” John said, laughing as Mary splashed at him.

“Make me,” she answered playfully.

“Oh! Okay.” John giggled and splashed her back. A lifeguard-bot moved down from his tower. “No splashing! No diving!”

“Ahh! Switch off!” John yelled back, splashing the annoying robot. The lifeguard-bot short-circuited and toppled over, knocking a passenger into the pool.

“Whoa!” the man yelled as he fell into the water.

“Hang on!” Mary shouted as she and John each grabbed one of the man’s arms. “We’ve got you!” Together they managed to lift the man out of the pool and back into his chair.

The man didn’t know what to say. He, too, was unused to being without his electronic devices. He was actually looking at other human beings face to face, not over some holo-screen.

“Uh ... thank ... you?” he tried.

“You’re ... uh ... welcome,” John said, smiling.

The towel cart rolled by with WALL · E and EVE silently and carefully pushing it forward as it hid them from view. They could look up and see the Captain’s quarters and the bridge. They were close now.

WALL · E peeked out and saw a line of stewards filling the lobby that led to the bridge. He quickly reversed the towel cart into the shadows. EVE scanned the area, searching for another way up to the bridge.

The trash chute! EVE realized that the chute went straight up to the bridge! She raised her hand, motioning to WALL · E to stay. He shook his head in protest. But EVE looked at him and said, “Waaaleeee,” just as she had done when they first met. WALL · E tilted his head and sighed. Before he knew it, he found himself watching EVE zoom past the guards at superfast speed—and right up the chute.
