事实确实如此。真的需要提防这些玩MMORPG的青少年们。他们甚至比那些宇宙飞船四周能让你在黑暗中送命的外星生物还要危险。
Yes, beware the MMORPG playing teen, for they are more dangerous than alien life forms creeping about your space ship and killing you in the dark.
然而,这些似乎还算不上最坏。他们还不允许加利奥特听iPod来消遣无聊时光。原因是担心锂电池会引发火灾。
As if that wasn't bad enough, Garriot also wasn't allowed to wile away the gameless hours in orbit listening to his iPod either, as apparently the lithium battery was considered a fire hazard.
“他们让你取出电池,还说了一堆的废话。真是讨厌死了!”他说。
"They make you take the battery out and all kinds of crap. It's a pain in the ass," he is quoted as saying.
“由于担心引起火灾,你不得不将锂电池取出;更惨的是拆开主机卸掉电池并重新改装--但是不管怎么说,你花了这么多钱只是为了能够携带iPod(上太空),这太不值得了。”
"You had to have the lithium battery pulled out, because,hypothetically, it's a fire hazard - it's not really; it's actually much worse after you crack the whole thing open, rip the battery out and put wires into it - but anyway, it costs you so much money to even take the iPod, it just wasn't worth it."
没有音乐可以听,也不能玩游戏来打发时间。说实话,这趟太空游听起来真的很不值。但话说回来,现如今富翁们还能做什么来挥霍他们的金钱呢?
No music to float about to, and no gaming to pass the time, it sounds rather like the whole trip wasn't really worth it to be honest. But what else do rich folks have to waste their money on these days?
