經典科幻文學:《銀河系漫遊指南》第14章 Part3

Ford gave up the attempt to sleep. In the corner of his cabin was a small computer screen and keyboard. He sat at it for a while and tried to compose a new entry for the Guide on the subject of Vogons but couldn't think of anything vitriolic enough so he gave that up too, wrapped a robe round himself and went for a walk to the bridge.
As he entered he was surprised to see two figures hunched excitedly over the instruments.
"See? The ship's about to move into orbit," Trillian was saying. "There's a planet out there. It's at the exact coordinates you predicted."
Zaphod heard a noise and looked up.
"Ford!" he hissed. "Hey, come and take a look at this."
Ford went and had a look at it. It was a series of figures flashing over a screen.
"You recognize those Galactic coordinates?" said Zaphod.
"No."

福特乾脆放棄了睡覺的念頭。他那間小臥室的角落裏放着一臺小電腦屏幕和鍵盤。他在前面坐了一會兒，嘗試着爲《銀河系漫遊指南》編寫一條新條目，是關於沃貢人的。但他一時想不起足夠尖酸刻薄的語言來，於是也就放棄了。他披上一件睡袍，出門朝控制橋溜達過去。
走進控制橋後，他驚訝地發現裏面居然有兩個人，正興奮地彎着腰站在儀器前。
“看見了嗎？飛船正準備駛進軌道。”崔莉恩正說着，“在這兒有一顆行星，正好坐落在你預測的座標位置上。”
贊福德聽見了響動，擡起頭來。
“福特！”他叫了一聲，“嘿，快過來看看這個。”
福特走過去看了一眼，一組數字正在屏幕上閃動。
“你認得出這些銀河系座標吧？”贊福德問。
“不認識。”
