【自译】星战小说《达斯·普雷格斯》第一章（1）(6)
普雷格斯查看了机器人的扁脑袋上的屏幕。它显示了探测器的路线图并对其穿透扫描进行了图形分析。穿透扫描清晰地显示探测器已经到达了岩浆洞的顶端。
"The probe is running an analysis," the treddroid updated.
“探测器正在进行分析，”探测机器人更新道。
With the reciprocating sounds of the probe's hydraulic jacks echoing in the crystal cave, Tenebrous began to circle the shaft, only to come to a sudden halt when the drilling ceased.
随着探测器的液压千斤顶的声音反复在水晶洞中回响，泰尼布勒斯开始绕着竖井转圈，直到钻探停止时，他也停下了。
"Why has it stopped?" he asked before Plagueis could.
“它怎么停下了？”他在普雷格斯之前发问。
The droid's reply was immediate. "The Em-Two unit informs me that it has discovered a pocket of gas directly beneath the new borehole." The droid paused, then added: "I'm sorry to report, sirs, that the gas is a highly combustible variant of lethane. The Em-Two unit predicts that the heat generated by its hydraulic jacks will ignite an explosion of significant magnitude."
机器人立即做出回应。“M-2机器人告诉我它发现在新钻孔下面正好有一个气井，”机器人停顿了一下，接着说道，“我很抱歉，先生们，这种气体是一种极其易燃的lethane的同素异形体。M-2机器人预报它的液压千斤顶所产生的热量将会引燃气体，引发一场剧烈的爆炸。”
Suspicion crept into Tenebrous's voice. "The original report made no mention of lethane."
泰尼布勒斯的声音中透出一丝怀疑。“原来的情报中没有提到lethane。”
The droid pivoted to face him. "I know nothing of that, sir. But the Em-Two unit is quite insistent. What's more, my own programming corroborates the fact that it is not unusual to find pockets of lethane in close proximity to cortosis ore."
