經典科幻文學:《銀河系漫遊指南》第31章3

"Yes, thank you Slartibartfast," said Benji mouse sharply, "you may go." "What? Oh ... er, very well," said the old man, slightly taken aback, "I'll just go and get on with some of my fjords then." "Ah, well in fact that won't be necessary," said Frankie mouse. "It looks very much as if we won't be needing the new Earth any longer." He swivelled his pink little eyes. "Not now that we have found a native of the planet who was there seconds before it was destroyed."
"What?" cried Slartibartfast, aghast. "You can't mean that! I've got a thousand glaciers poised and ready to roll over Africa!" "Well perhaps you can take a quick skiing holiday before you dismantle them," said Frankie, acidly.
"Skiing holiday!" cried the old man. "Those glaciers are works of art! Elegantly sculptured contours, soaring pinnacles of ice, deep majestic ravines! It would be sacrilege to go skiing on high art!"
"Thank you Slartibartfast," said Benji firmly. "That will be all."

'哦，謝謝你，斯拉提巴特法斯特。“本吉老鼠隨口說，”你可以走了。“”什麼？嗯……嗯，好吧。“老人說，向後退了一小步，”我這就走，回去繼續做我的海灣。“”哦，好的，不過實際上已經沒那個必要了。“弗蘭克老鼠說，”看樣子我們極有可能不再需要一顆新的地球。“他轉了轉他那粉紅色的小眼珠，”既然我們已經找到了一個那顆行星的原住民，在它毀滅的前幾秒鐘他就在那上面。
“什麼？”“斯拉提巴特法斯特驚詫的叫了起來，”這不會是真的吧！我已經做好了上千條的冰川，準備用它們去碾壓非洲大陸！“”是嗎，那你也許可以度一個滑雪假，在你分解掉它們之前。“弗蘭克嘲弄的說。
“滑雪假！”老人叫道，“那些冰川可都是藝術品！精心雕刻的輪廓、高聳的雪峯、壯闊的峽谷！在這樣的高雅藝術品上滑雪簡直就是一種褻瀆！”
“謝謝你了，斯拉提巴特法斯特。”本吉堅定的說，“就這樣吧。”
