"Then what's happened to the missiles?" he said.	“那些導(dǎo)彈怎么樣了？”他問。
A new and astounding image appeared in the mirrors.	一幅新的、令人震驚的景象出現(xiàn)在鏡子里。
"They would appear," said Ford doubtfully, "to have turned into a bowl of petunias and a very surprised looking whale ..."	“它們好像變成了，”福特懷疑地說，“一盆牽牛花和一頭非常怪異的鯨魚……”
"At an Improbability Factor," cut in Eddie, who hadn't changed a bit, "of eight million seven hundred and sixty-seven thousand one hundred and twenty-eight to one against."	“基于一個非概率因子，”艾迪插話道，看來倒是它一點兒也沒有改變，“發(fā)生這種情況的可能性是8，767，128比1.”
Zaphod stared at Arthur.	贊福德望著阿瑟。
"Did you think of that, Earthman?" he demanded.	“你想到過這種情況嗎，地球人？”他問。
"Well," said Arthur, "all I did was ..."	“哦，”阿瑟說，“我所做的只是……”
"That's very good thinking you know. Turn on the Improbability Drive for a second without first activating the proofing screens. + Hey kid you just saved our lives, you know that?"	“你知道嗎，這真是個絕妙的主意，在不事先激活保護(hù)屏的情況下啟動非概率驅(qū)動。嘿，伙計，你剛剛救了我們大家的命，你知道嗎？”
"Oh," said Arthur, "well, it was nothing really ..."	“噢，”阿瑟說，“真的，這沒什么……”
"Was it?" said Zaphod. "Oh well, forget it then. OK, computer, take us in to land."	“是嗎？”贊福德說，“那好，讓我們忘掉它吧。好了，電腦，我們登陸。”
"But ..."	“可是……”
"I said forget it."	“我說過了，忘了它。”
Another thing that got forgotten was the fact that against all probability a sperm whale had suddenly been called into existence several miles above the surface of an alien planet.	被忽略的另一個事實是：盡管違背所有的可能性，但是一只抹香鯨確實突然間在距離一顆行星表面幾英里的高度出現(xiàn)了。
