All eyes were fixed on the dome, other than those of Hotblack Desiato’s bodyguard, which were looking intently at Hotblack Desiato, and those of Hotblack Desiato himself which the bodyguard had closed out of respect.	所有目光都集中在穹預(yù)上，除了霍特布萊克·迪西亞托的保鏢的兩只眼睛，它們正專注地盯著霍特布萊克·迪西亞托，還有就是霍特布萊克，迪西亞托自己的眼睛，它們已經(jīng)被保鏢不禮貌地給合了起來(lái)。
The bodyguard leaned forward over the table. Had Hotblack Desiato been alive, he probably would have deemed this a good moment to lean back, or even go for a short walk. His bodyguard was not a man which improved with proximity. On account of his unfortunate condition, however, Hotblack Desiato remained totally inert.	保鏢的身體向前靠了靠。如果霍特布萊克·迪西亞托還活著的話，他也許會(huì)往后靠靠，甚至站起來(lái)走兩步，以避開(kāi)保鏢。因?yàn)榭拷螅谋ｇS顯得更加兇惡。然而，由于他所處的不幸狀況，霍特布萊克·迪西亞托仍然一動(dòng)不動(dòng)。
“Mr. Desiato, sir?” whispered the bodyguard. Whenever he spoke, it looked as if the muscles on either side of his mouth were clambering over each other to get out of the way.	“迪西亞托先生，先生？”保鏢低聲說(shuō)無(wú)論什么時(shí)候，只要他說(shuō)話，他左邊嘴角的肌肉就會(huì)向右擰，右邊的則向左擰。看上去，仿佛嘴角兩邊的肌肉都急于逃走似的。
“Mr. Desiato? Can you hear me?”	“迪西亞托先生’你能聽(tīng)到我嗎？”
Hotblack Desiato, quit naturally, said nothing.	很自然地，霍特布萊克·迪西啞托一言不發(fā)。
“Hotblack?” hissed the bodyguard.	“霍特布萊克？”保鏢繼續(xù)小聲喊道：
Again, quite naturally, Hotblack Desiato did not reply. Supernaturally, however, he did.	很自然地，霍特布萊克·迪西弧托還是沒(méi)有回答。然而，以某種超自然的方式，他這么做了。
On the table in front of him a wine glass rattled, and a fork rose an inch or so and tapped against the glass. It settled on the table again.	在他面前的餐桌上，一個(gè)酒杯咔咔作響，一把叉子升起來(lái)差不多有一英寸，敲打了幾下酒杯，然后義落到桌面上。
The bodyguard gave a satisfied grunt.	保鏢滿意地“哼”了一聲。
“It’s time we get going, Mr. Desiato,” muttered the bodyguard, “don’t want to get caught in the rush, not in your condition. You want to get to the next gig nice and relaxed. There was a really big audience for it. One of the best. Kakrafoon. Five-hundred seventy-six thousand and two million years ago. Had you will have been looking forward to it?”	“我們?cè)撟吡耍衔鱽喭邢壬！北ｇS咕噥著說(shuō)，“你目前的狀況不適于和別人擠成一團(tuán)。你肯定想舒適松弛地去參一場(chǎng)表演吧。肯定會(huì)有大量的觀眾。那是最棒的演出之一，在卡庫(kù)拉馮，五十七萬(wàn)六千零二個(gè)百萬(wàn)年之前。難道你就一點(diǎn)兒也不期待嗎？”
The fork rose again, waggled in a non-committal sort of way and dropped again.	那把叉子叉升了起來(lái)，停在空中，含混不明地來(lái)回?cái)[動(dòng)了幾下，然后落下來(lái)
“Ah, come on,” said the bodyguard, “it’s going to have been great. You knocked ‘em cold.” The bodyguard would have given Dr. Dan Streetmentioner an apoplectic attack.	“噢，走吧，”保鏢說(shuō)，“那將會(huì)曾經(jīng)很精彩的。你太冷漠了。”聽(tīng)了這個(gè)保鏢所用的時(shí)態(tài)，唐·史崔特門(mén)肯定會(huì)氣得中風(fēng)。
“The black ship going into the sun always gets ‘em, and the new one’s a beauty. Be real sorry to see it go. If we get on down there, I’ll set the black ship autopilot and we’ll cruise off in the limo. OK?”	“黑色飛船，直直撞向太陽(yáng)。這種場(chǎng)面總能抓住觀眾，新的這艘相當(dāng)漂亮，看著它撞過(guò)去真的很遺憾。下到停車場(chǎng)后，我把這艘黑色飛船設(shè)定為自動(dòng)導(dǎo)航，我們自己乘那艘豪華飛船。怎么樣，”
The fork tapped once in agreement, and the glass of wine mysteriously emptied itself.	那把叉子贊同地敲了敲，杯子里的酒則莫名其妙地消失了了。
The bodyguard wheeled Hotblack Desiato’s chair out of the Restaurant.	保鏢推著霍特布萊克·迪西亞托的輪椅出了餐館。
