经典科幻文学:《银河系漫游指南》第34章3

"But how are you, metalman?" said Ford.
"Very depressed."
"What's up?"
"I don't know," said Marvin, "I've never been there."
"Why," said Ford squatting down beside him and shivering, "are you lying face down in the dust?"
"It's a very effective way of being wretched," said Marvin. "Don't pretend you want to talk to me, I know you hate me."
"No I don't."
"Yes you do, everybody does. It's part of the shape of the Universe. I only have to talk to somebody and they begin to hate me. Even robots hate me. If you just ignore me I expect I shall probably go away." He jacked himself up to his feet and stood resolutely facing the opposite direction.

“可是你还好吧，金属人？”福特问。
“非常沮丧。”
“怎么了？”
“我也不知道。”马文说。
福特在他身边蹲了下来，冷得发抖，“为什么你会脸朝下趴在灰尘中？”
“要想悲惨的话，这是一个好办法。”马文说，“别装出一副想和我说话的样子，我知道你恨我。”
“不，我不恨你。”
“是的，你就是恨我，大家都恨我。这是宇宙形态的一部分。我不得不和一些人交谈，然后他们就开始恨我了。甚至机器人也恨我。如果你没有注意到我的话，我想我很可能会走开的。”他用脚支撑着爬起来，坚定的面朝相反的方向。
