机器人总动员WALLHepassedasalvageyardfullofotherrustedWALL · Eunits,shutdownlongago.ThecockroachwatchedeagerlyasWALL 。

He passed a salvage yard full of other rusted WALL · E units, shut down long ago. The cockroach watched eagerly as WALL · E stopped to examine something of interest on one of the old units—its treads.
The treads were thick bands of rubber, built to protect the WALL · E units’ metallic wheels like giant tires. This old unit’s treads were in much better shape than WALL · E’s.
WALL · E quickly switched his old pair for the newer ones as the cockroach chirped and jumped excitedly. Then, moving on, WALL · E felt the cockroach settling happily on his shoulder, enjoying the new, smoother ride.
他路过一个早就关闭了的废品回收场,里面满是其他生锈的地球垃圾分装装置。蟑螂关切地看着瓦力停下来检视其中一个旧装置上某个让他感兴趣的东西—它的履带。
这些履带由厚橡胶带制成,就像巨型轮胎一样,用于保护地球垃圾分装装置的金属轮子。这具旧装置的履带状态要比瓦力的好得多。
伴随着蟑螂的吱吱声与兴奋的跳跃,瓦力快速地将自己的旧履带换成了较新的那对。然后,瓦力继续前行时,感觉到蟑螂愉快地歇在他肩上,享受这段更平稳的新旅程。
