“Eee!” WALL · E beeped. He didn’t like this thing at all. He quickly tossed the paddle aside and turned toward something else—a fire extinguisher, though WALL · E didn’t know that. He simply saw something that was red and kind of heavy. WALL · E examined it until he found what he was looking for: a lever. Usually, levers activated something. WALL · E pulled it. WHOOSH!The blast from the extinguisher propelled WALL · E into a loop-the-loop, spinning him over and over until he finally crash-landed in the trash. WALL · E moaned. He couldn’t figure out what use humans had found for this shiny red object. Perhaps it had been some sort of game, but he didn’t like it. Time to move on.
“哔——”瓦力叫道。他一點都不喜歡這個東西。他迅速地将球拍抛到一邊，轉向另一樣東西——一個滅火器，雖然他不知道它是什麼。他隻是看見了一樣紅色的、有點沉的東西。瓦力細細檢視它，直到找到了他要找的東西：一根拉杆。拉杆通常都能啟動什麼東西。瓦力拉動了拉杆。 “呼”的一聲，滅火器噴出一股泡沫，撞得瓦力在半空中連翻了幾個跟頭，一陣天旋地轉之後終于摔落在垃圾堆中。 瓦力呻吟一聲。他想象不出人類能拿這個閃亮的紅色物品派什麼用處。也許這是用來玩某種遊戲的，但他不喜歡這個遊戲。該繼續幹活了。
