银河垃圾清理员
Gus, the best garbage collector in the Galaxy, put on his space gear and set out to clean up another galactic mess.
古斯是银河系中最优秀 的垃圾清理员, 他穿上宇航服, 开始清 扫另外一堆银河垃圾。
He hated all of these star wars, but it paid his bills. Arriving at the part of space where the most recent battle had occurred,
他痛恨一切星球大战, 但他是靠它过日子的。 古斯来到最近一次战斗 的战场,
Gus put on his helmet to protect himself from fumes, fussed over the controls of his equipment,

and then decided to fly around to gauge the extent of the mess. It was always a gamble cleaning up the wreckage of spaceships.
然后决定飞到周围, 估计有多少垃圾。 清除宇宙飞船的残骸 永远是一种冒险--
You never knew what was going to blow up next, but Gus made sure he was funded adequately

in case of some debilitating accident. That type of protection was fundamental to this type of work.

Several pieces could be gathered to sell and a few placed in his galactic gallery.

Some might even function as replacement ships for his friends. The furniture inside each was definite trash;

the aliens had a totally different body shape. But Gus could furnish each ship with leftovers from other ships.
因为外星人的体形完 全不一样, 但古斯可以用别的飞船 上的遗留物装备每条飞 船。
He'd fulfill his quota today and more. Gus was furious, however, to discover that there was no fuel for him to gather.

But his fury subsided when he discovered a functional space blaster
