‘Yes, Commander,’Kiah began. ‘The AOL is breaking up-’
“是的，司令，”凯开口了，“人工臭氧正在破裂——”
‘When? Tonight? Tomorrow?’ God said angrily.
“什么时候？今天晚上？明天？”高格生气地说。
‘I heard this old story two years ago, from Adai. Everyone comes here and wants money-money for the AOL,
“两年前我就听阿岱说过这个老掉牙的故事。每个人都到这儿要钱——为人工臭氧层，
money for rain, money for the Moon colony.
为下雨的事，为月亮部族。
But I am Earth Commander, and you are nobody! I know about the AOL, and the AOL is good for a hundred years!’
但是我是地球司令。你们什么也不是！我知道人工臭氧层，它能坚持一百年！”
‘But the satellite-’Kiah began again,
“可是卫星——”凯又开口了。
‘Be quiet!’ Gog cried. ‘I am Earth Commander! I’m not going to give money for the AOL! Or for rain! Or for the Moon!’ Gog looked at the guards near the door.
“少废话！”高格叫了起来。“我是地球司令！我不会为人工臭氧层花钱！也不为下雨花钱！”高格看了一眼门口的卫兵。
‘Take them –take them away. I don’t want to hear them.’
“把他们——把他们带走。我不想听他们讲话。”
The guards moved behind Kiah and Rilla, and Bel began to laugh. ‘Goodbye!’ she said.
卫兵们在凯和瑞拉身后行动起来，贝尔笑了：“再见了！”她说。
‘You’re not going to the Moon; you’re going to prison!
“他们去不了月球，你们要去的地方是监狱！
You can talk about the holes in the AOL there!’
你们可以在那儿谈论人工臭氧层上的洞！”
