Chapter 4	第四章
Ten light years away, Gag Halfrunt jacked up his smile by several notches. As he watched the picture on his vision screen, relayed across the sub-ether from the bridge of the Vogon ship, he saw the final shreds of the Heart of Gold’s force-shield ripped away, and the ship itself vanish in a puff of smoke.	十光年以外，伽葛·哈爾佛蘭特用臉上的幾道凹痕撐起一個笑容。他正在看著屏幕上的畫面，那是通過亞以太從沃貢飛船的艦橋里轉(zhuǎn)播過來的。他看到最后的防護力盾碎片從黃金之心號表面剝落下來，而飛船本身則在一團煙霧中消失了。
Good, he thought.	好極了，他想。
The end of the last stray survivors of the demolition he had ordered on the planet Earth, he thought.	由他下令對地球?qū)嵤┑臍缧袆又?，最后的幸存者終于完蛋了，他想。
The final end of this dangerous (to the psychiatric profession) and subversive (also to the psychiatric profession) experiment to find the Question to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything, he thought.	那個危險（對精神病學這一專業(yè)來說）和顛覆性（同樣是對精神病學這一專業(yè)來說）的實驗，企圖找出那個確切的問題究竟是什么——關(guān)于生命、宇宙以及一切的終極問題，終于也結(jié)束了，他想。
There would be some celebration with his fellows tonight, and in the morning they would meet again their unhappy, bewildered and highly profitable patients, secure in the knowledge that the Meaning of Life would not now be, once and for all, well and truly sorted out, he thought.	今晚要和自己的同事們搞點兒慶?；顒印Ｃ魈煲辉?，他們就又要面對他們那些郁郁寡歡、不知所措但卻非常有利可圖的病人了。他們大可以放心，生命的意義，現(xiàn)在絕對不會再被揭示出來了，他想。
“Family’s always embarrassing isn’t it?” said Ford to Zaphod as the smoke began to clear.	“家里的事兒總是最為難的，對嗎？”煙霧開始消散時，福特對贊福德說。
He paused, then looked about.	他頓了頓，四下打量著。
“Where’s Zaphod?” he said.	“贊福德在哪兒？”他說。
Arthur and Trillian looked about blankly. They were pale and shaken and didn’t know where Zaphod was.	阿瑟和崔莉恩也茫然地四下看著。他們臉色蒼白，渾身顫抖，同樣不知道贊福德在哪里。
“Marvin?” said Ford, “Where’s Zaphod?”	“馬文？”福特問到，“贊福德在哪兒？”
A moment later he said: “Where’s Marvin?”	過了一會兒，他又問：“馬文又在哪兒？”
