双语读电影 《机器人总动员》第07章 :也许现在他终于能和她手牵手了。

WALL · E pulled EVE inside his truck and closed the door tight. EVE looked around, intrigued by WALL · E’s many collections.

WALL · E sensed her interest and proudly began to give her a tour. First, he handed her an eggbeater. As he looked for something else to show her, EVE spun the eggbeater faster and faster, until it whirled itself into pieces. Uh-oh. EVE quickly hid it, not wanting WALL · E to see what she had done.

But WALL · E had his mind on something else: the clear plastic wrap that had bubbles in it. Once again, EVE seemed delighted. He showed her how to pop the bubbles, then handed it to her and popped a few more bubbles encouragingly. She tried it, and then began a rapid-fire popping. In seconds, the entire sheet was deflated. This was fun!

And then WALL · E handed her his prized Hello, Dolly! Videocassette—not expecting that she would pull the tape out of it! Emitting a high-pitched beep, WALL · E grabbed the cassette from EVE and carefully reeled the tape back inside. Terrified that it might not work, he inserted the cassette in his video player.

After an anxious moment of staring at his television, WALL · E saw his beloved characters appear on the screen, singing and dancing.

Relieved, WALL · E shuffled back and forth on his treads and mimicked the dancing for EVE. Extending his hand to the floor, he encouraged her to try, too.

EVE fell—THUNK!—to the floor and bounced back up again. WALL · E then tried a move he hoped would be less dangerous. He spun with his little shovel arms extended outward. EVE happily imitated him—but with a massive force that quickly sent her whirling out of control! KLANK! EVE accidentally propelled WALL · E into a wall of shelves. As he fell to the floor, his head clanged like a bell.

EVE gasped. One of WALL · E’s binocular-like eyes was hanging loose.

WALL · E calmly reassured the distraught EVE. He felt his way through a pile of spare WALL · E-unit parts. Then he popped in a spare eye and brightly turned to EVE. Good as new!

As they continued exploring WALL · E’s collections, EVE amazed WALL · E by producing a flame from an old lighter. As they stared at the flame, WALL · E realized he had never been this close to EVE. He looked up at her, the flame flickering between them. In the background, his favorite song from Hello, Dolly! played.

WALL · E reached for EVE’s hand. Maybe now he could finally hold hands with her.

EVE turned to look at him, but WALL · E panicked and pulled his hand back, pretending to retrieve something from the floor.

Still, he wasn’t about to give up. As EVE continued to stare at the television screen, WALL · E scurried off. There was one more thing that might win EVE’s approval. It was the undisputed masterpiece of his many collections. He tapped her on the shoulder and held up the plant.

EVE’s blue light immediately locked onto it. Her chest opened. WALL · E was shocked to see a tractor beam suddenly shoot from EVE’s chest and envelop the plant. The beam had pulled the plant into a compartment in EVE’s chest. Her panel doors slammed, and her system shut down altogether! Only a single green light remained pulsing on her chest.

“Eee-vah?” WALL · E said numbly. He shook her gently but got no response.

WALL · E panicked. “Eee-vah?Eee-vah!” he cried.
