Some time passed．Then more monsters came．More and more．Most of the monsters walked on four legs．A very big one licked me with its tongue．It was a hard tongue，not like my soft tongue．But I felt better afterwards．That monster made a noise like this：'Hee-haw！'
过了一段时间后，又来了些怪物，越来越多。多数怪物都是四条腿走路的。有一只非常大的还用舌头舔我。那舌头很硬，不象我的舌头软软的。但后来我觉得好一些。那只怪物发出一种“嘻——嗬！”的声音。
There was a very small monster that could fly．It had wings and a long hard mouth．It made a noise like this：'Cheepcheep！'
有一只很小的会飞的怪物，它长着翅膀和一只又长又硬的嘴巴。它发出一种“嘁——嘁”的声音。
It cleaned my finger where Eee-Eee had bitten me．CheepCheep's hard little mouth was good at that．
它把“噫噫”咬我手指的地方弄干净了。“嘁嘁”的小硬嘴正好擅长干这个。
I must tell the truth．I wanted to take a laser gun and kill all those monsters． They weren't hurting me．They were helping me．They were nice．
我得说实话。我想拿起一支激光枪把这些怪物都杀掉。它们并不伤害我。它们帮助我。它们挺好的。
But something in my mind hated them．I didn't want to have to think about them．
但我头脑中的不知什么东西讨厌它们。我不愿被迫去想它们。
But I didn't have a laser gun so I couldn't destroy them．
可我没有激光枪，所以不能消灭它们。
One monster brought me water．Another monster gave me some fruit to eat．A few monsters lay against my body and made me warm．They helped me in many ways but there was something sick in my mind．
一只怪物给我弄来了水，另一只怪物给我些果子吃。有几个怪物靠着我的身体躺下，给我保暖。它们用各种办法帮助我，但我的头脑中总有恶心的念头。我还是恨它们。
I still hated them． I will try to explain．For twenty thousand years the Galaxy had belonged to humans．Everything in the Galaxy belonged to us．
我要解释一下。两万年了，银河系都是属于人类的，银河系里的所有东西都属于我们。
When a new baby comes into a family，the first child hates the baby．The first child wants to be the most important， and to keep everything for itself．It is afraid the baby will take things away from it．
当一个家庭新降生了一个婴儿，第一个孩子就会恨这个婴儿。第一个孩子想成为最重要的，想把什么都留给自己。他害怕新婴儿会把什么东西拿走。
