經典科幻文學:《銀河系漫遊指南》第34章3

"But how are you, metalman?" said Ford.
"Very depressed."
"What's up?"
"I don't know," said Marvin, "I've never been there."
"Why," said Ford squatting down beside him and shivering, "are you lying face down in the dust?"
"It's a very effective way of being wretched," said Marvin. "Don't pretend you want to talk to me, I know you hate me."
"No I don't."
"Yes you do, everybody does. It's part of the shape of the Universe. I only have to talk to somebody and they begin to hate me. Even robots hate me. If you just ignore me I expect I shall probably go away." He jacked himself up to his feet and stood resolutely facing the opposite direction.

“可是你還好吧，金屬人？”福特問。
“非常沮喪。”
“怎麼了？”
“我也不知道。”馬文說。
福特在他身邊蹲了下來，冷得發抖，“爲什麼你會臉朝下趴在灰塵中？”
“要想悲慘的話，這是一個好辦法。”馬文說，“別裝出一副想和我說話的樣子，我知道你恨我。”
“不，我不恨你。”
“是的，你就是恨我，大家都恨我。這是宇宙形態的一部分。我不得不和一些人交談，然後他們就開始恨我了。甚至機器人也恨我。如果你沒有注意到我的話，我想我很可能會走開的。”他用腳支撐着爬起來，堅定的面朝相反的方向。
