机器人总动员WALL · E慢慢读00065 It was the Axiom

WALL · E blinked hard and recharged his solar panels as the ship zipped past the sun. Traveling quickly into deep space, the ship approached Saturn. WALL · E reached out and ran his hand through the dust and ice particles that made up one of the planet’s outer rings. Mesmerized by the view, he saw a single light growing in the distance. He recognized it from the billboards he had seen on Earth. It was a gigantic luxury-class star liner. It was the Axiom!

飞船呼啸着飞过太阳时，瓦力用力眨了眨眼睛，给他的太阳能电池板充电。飞船快速地飞向太空深处，靠近了土星。瓦力向土星的外部一个星环伸出手去，将手穿入构成它的灰尘和冰晶颗粒中。当他因美景而着迷时，他看见远处有一个光点越来越明亮。他在地球上的广告牌上见过这艘巨型豪华星际飞船，他认出它来了。它是“功理”号！
