A 沒想到那麼容易就躲過了麒麟士兵的監視，看來他們的警惕性並不高。
méixiǎngdào nàme róngyì jiù duǒguò le qílínshìbīng de jiānshì, kànlai tāmen de jǐngtìxìng bìng bù gāo.
I had no idea it would be so easy to sneak past the Kirin soldiers' surveillance. Looks like they're not really very alert.
B 是啊，原來他們只是四肢發達、頭腦簡單的怪物。
shì a, yuánlái tāmen zhǐshì sìzhī fādá, tóunǎo jiǎndān de guàiwu.
Yeah! They're monsters with all brawn and not much brains.
A 噓，小聲點，被他們發現就糟了。斯琴，你看那邊，好像是一座工廠。
shī, xiǎoshēng diǎn, bèi tāmen fāxiàn jiù zāo le. Sīqín, nǐ kàn nàbian, hǎoxiàng shì yī zuò gōngchǎng.
Shh...be quiet! We'll be in trouble if we get discovered. Siqin, look over there. Looks like a factory.
B 是啊，裡面燈火通明，好像還有一群人走來走去。
shì a, lǐmiàn dēnghuǒtōngmíng, hǎoxiàng hái yǒu yī qún rén zǒuláizǒuqù.
Yeah. It's really well-lit. Looks like there's a group of people walking back and forth there.
A 他們在造什麼？我們挪過去看看，小心點！
tāmen zài zào shénme? wǒmen nuó guòqù kànkan, xiǎoxīn diǎn!
What are they making? Let's go on over and take a look. Be careful!
B 我看到了，在生產線上幹活的都是人類。
wǒ kàndào le, zài shēngchǎnxiàn shàng gànhuó de dōu shì rénlèi.
I can see it now: the people working on the assembly line are all humans!
A 沒錯，是人類！
méicuò, shì rénlèi!
Yeah! They're humans!
B 但是這些人看上去目光呆滯，像機器人一樣。難道他們已經被改造過了？
dànshì zhèxiē rén kàn shangqu mùguāng dāizhì, xiàng jīqìrén yīyàng. nándào tāmen yǐjīng bèi gǎizào guo le?
But these people look glassy-eyed and dazed. They're like robots. Can they have been re-made already?
A 很有可能。他們的大腦肯定是被植入了電腦芯片！麒麟人已經把他們變成自己的奴隸了。天哪！斯琴，那我爸爸和你哥哥大概就在這些人中間。太可憐了！怎麼辦？
hěn yǒu kěnéng. tāmen de dànǎo kěndìng shì bèi zhírù le diànnǎo xìnpiàn! qílínrén yǐjīng bǎ tāmen biànchéng zìjǐ de núlì le. tiānnǎ! Sīqín, nà wǒ bàba hé nǐ gēge dàgài jiù zài zhèxiērén zhōngjiān. tài kělián le! zěnme bàn?
It's very possible. They've definitely had computer chips implanted in their brains! The Kirin-men have turned them into their slaves. Oh, man! Siqin, my dad and your brother must be with these people. What a shame! What can we do?
B 中川，冷靜點！他們起碼還活著，這已經是不幸中的萬幸了！
Zhōngchuān, lěngjìng diǎn! tāmen qǐmǎ hái huó zhe, zhè yǐjīng shì bùxìng zhōng de wànxìng le!
Calm down, Zhong Chuan. At least they're still alive. That's already a great thing, when nothing else is going well.
A 該死的麒麟人，我要把你們碎屍萬段！
gāisǐ de qílínrén , wǒ yào bǎ nǐmen suìshīwànduàn!
Damned Kirin-men! I'm going to tear you into little pieces!
B 中川，他們人多勢眾，跟他們硬碰硬，沒好下場。
Zhōngchuān, tāmen rénduōshìzhòng, gēn tāmen yìngpèngyìng, méi hǎo xiàchǎng.
Zhong Chuan, they could crush us with sheer force of numbers. Nothing good can come of fighting with them.
C 哈哈！又有兩個蠢貨送上門來了！
hāhā! yòu yǒu liǎng ge chǔnhuò sòngshàng mén lái le!
Ha ha! Two more idiots have arrived, right at our door!
A 糟了！麒麟人！
zāo le! qílínrén !
Damn! Kirin-men!
C 你們人類只會破壞地球，製造垃圾，你們早該滾出地球了！
nǐmen rénlèi zhǐ huì pòhuài dìqiú, zhìzào lājī, nǐmen zǎo gāi gǔnchū dìqiú le!
You humans! All you know how to do is destroy the earth and create garbage. You should've disappeared a long time ago!
