《钢穴》原文阅读笔记（人机CP）+感想
考试周掉坑系列之翻开了机器人系列然后就停不住了。想把文中丹尼尔和贝莱比较有趣的互动地方摘下来。
注：是完全腐眼看人基的 过度解读！！！不要随便往下读！
1.The trouble was, of course, that he was not the plain-clothes man of popular myth. He was not incapable of surprise,imperturbable of appearance, infinite of adaptability, and lightning of mentalgrasp. He had never supposed he was, but he had never regretted the lackbefore. What made him regret it was that, to all appearances, R. Daneel Olivawwas that very myth, embodied. He had to be. He was a robot.
这里侦探刚刚见到丹尼尔还没多久，心理活动里透着一股酸意。他比我长得帅，比我聪明，比我厉害，他是从故事里走出来的迷人的balabala……可以说书前面很大一部分都被这种心理状态覆盖着，有点酸酸的，有点嫉妒，又有点羡慕，还特别喜欢形容丹尼尔长得好看。
俗话说这是爱的开始。
2. “Even,” asked Baley, “down to the painstaking duplication of thoseportions of the body which, in the ordinary course of events,would always be covered by clothes? Even to the duplication of organs which, ina robot, would have no conceivable function?”
Enderby said suddenly, “How did you findthat out?”
Baley reddened. “I couldn’t help noticing in the--in the Personal.”
这里真是可爱地过分了（当然也有可能是我想多了）。贝莱想指认丹尼尔其实是个人类的时候，说他身上那些“机器人不需要”的器官也做得一模一样。朱里尔突然问你是怎么知道的，贝莱全书唯一一次地脸红了：在个人私用间控制不住瞟到的。
你脸红什么呀你！不就是看了一个机器人的身体嘛！而且还是和你同一性别的诶！说起来你在个人私用间里瞟的时候也不太正常么，看到“浑身上下都像人一样”之后为什么你会嘴角浮起“tiny smile”？嗯？
（就算你的比他小又怎么样他的又不是天生的）
3.“Then why tel lme?”
R. Daneel turned his eyes full on his human companion. “You are my partner，Elijah. It is well that you know my weaknesses and shortcomings.”
Baley cleared his throat and had nothing more to say on the subject.
这时候是他们穿越了发电厂，贝莱先是凶凶地让丹尼尔当心红线，后来不好意思地补充了一句说丹尼尔可能不怕射线吧。结果丹尼尔花了较长的篇幅说明了被射线影响的自己会“死”，贝莱疑惑为什么丹尼尔要告诉自己他的弱点，丹尼尔直直地注视着贝莱说：你是我的伙伴，你该知道我的弱点。贝莱就清了清喉咙转移话题，嗯，因为这种直球式的回（告）答（白）太措手不及了是吧？
4. R. Daneel smiled. The gesture was sudden and surprising. His lips curled back and the skin about either end folded. Only the mouthsmiled, however. The rest of the robot’s face was untouched.
Baley shook his head. “Don’t bother, R.Daneel. It doesn’t do a thing for you.”
贝莱本来想“调戏”丹尼尔让他笑一下，因为丹尼尔总是一副很严肃的样子，然而丹尼尔笑的时候非常可怕，被贝莱叫停了。
这一段让我联想到了基地前传里面，谢顿让丹尼尔在民众面前笑一笑以证明他不是个机器人，他们设计演练了一番，终于让丹尼尔做出了非常成功的“爽朗的笑声”以及因为被逗乐了而“眼角有水光”的样子，不知道那时候丹尼尔有没有想起两万年前，也有一个人类尝试让他笑过？他终于可以模仿出完美的笑了，但是他的以利亚伙伴早就在时间的长河中无迹可寻了。
5. For once he listened to R. Sammy without being annoyed. R. Sammy, after all, was a kind of relation to R. Daneel, and R.Daneel obviously wasn’t a person--or thing, rather--to get annoyed with.
贝莱一直都很讨厌Sammy，然而想到Sammy是丹尼尔的同类，他有点讨厌不起来了。因为丹尼尔绝不是什么让人讨厌的东西。这里贝莱先说“a person”，然后自我纠正“or thing”，潜意识里是已经把丹尼尔当成人类一样的存在了吧？
而且这个说法透着莫名的傲娇气息。（？）
6. R. Daneel placed two fingers carefully under one nipple and pushedin a definite pattern of
pressure. His chest opened longitudinally.R. Daneel reached in and from a welter of gleaming metal withdrew a thin,translucent sac, partly distended. He opened it while Baley watched with a kindof horror.
R. Daneel hesitated. He said, “The food isperfectly clean. I do not salivate or chew. It was
drawn in through the gullet by suction, youknow. It is edible.”
“That’s all right,” said Baley, gently.“I’m not hungry. You just get rid of it.”
这里的丹尼尔可爱到爆炸！噗（这个拟声词是我自己加的）的一下按了一下乳头下方，肚子就豁开了。他把食物从肚子里拿出来，犹豫了一下，问你要不要吃，说我没有分泌口水也没有嚼而且食物都是完整的…
也许是因为太可爱了，全文一直都是“savagely”（粗暴地）、“sardonically”（冷嘲地）说话的贝莱也终于忍不住“gentle”了一次。
7. Clousarr yelled, “Keep that thing offme.”
“That’s no way to speak,” said Baley with equanimity，“The man’s my partner.”
这里贝莱让丹尼尔把克劳瑟抓起来，这位倒霉的同志大喊：别让这东西碰我！
老兄你说错话了，这不是什么东西，这是我的伙伴。
印象中这是全书贝莱第一次对丹尼尔这么直接的维护？不过比起丹尼尔的忠犬成堆我觉得还并不是很感人。
8. He hung back, turned toward R. Daneel, and, before Baley could makea move to stop him,
stepped forward and swung his open handfull against the robot’s cheek.
“What the devil,” cried Baley, snatchingviolently at Clousarr.
这里超级心疼丹尼尔小天使啊这个人类竟然扇你巴掌！你还要出于第一法则问他有没有受伤！
原句这里“what the devil”是贝莱比较常用的一句表示愤怒惊讶的语气词，而“snatch”和“violently”都能表现出贝莱很迅速很粗鲁地上去制住了克劳瑟。从这里看出贝莱确实潜意识里已经将丹尼尔视作伙伴而不是机器人了，虽然没有成功，但给贝莱对丹尼尔的维护打个60分吧。
9．Baley looked at R. Daneel’s chiseled face with a sudden burning hope. Whatever the creature was,he was strong and faithful, animated by no selfishness. What more could you askof any friend? Baley needed a friend and he was in no mood to cavil at the factthat a gear replaced a blood vessel in this particular one.
最后几章简直是情感大爆发。
“贝莱看着丹尼尔那轮廓分明般的脸庞，心中突然燃起了希望。”——我我我真的不知道该怎么吐槽了！！这句诡异的话后面又是一长段直球的表白：强壮（？）、忠诚、无私，多么棒的朋友啊！管他里面是人血还是机械呢！
承认吧，贝莱，你已经沦陷了。
（虽然这之后丹尼尔出乎意料地拒绝协助你，口亨。）
10. Baley bit his lip, then said, “I didn’t think Iwould ever say anything like this to anyone like you, Daneel, but I trust you.I even--admire you. I’m too old ever to leave Earth myself, but when schoolsfor emigrants are finally established, there’s Bentley. If someday, perhaps,Bentley and you, together. .
终于说出口的表白啊。
最后手挽着手出去太著名了不写了。虽然作为一个英语渣渣可能有很多理解错误…不过觉得作者描写的两人的对话方式真的好萌啊！！！
贝莱说话，除了推理的时候，一般都是灵活的短句和口语——就是那种意思你一看就懂但是在英语课本里很难找到正规释义的词句，语气词和口头禅到处乱飞，而丹尼尔说话一直都喜欢正式的句式，严谨、冗长、礼貌得体，一看就给人一种“机器感”，句句都是英语写作中的佳句，两相对比有的时候超级喜感。每次他说“……， if you prefer（如果你更喜欢这样的话）.”我都觉得好有礼貌好乖啊！好想领回家啊啊啊（够了
好了我要去啃下一本了。
