Ford hit the phones straight away while Arthur attempted to locate the television.
福特立马打起电话，阿瑟试图寻找电视机。
‘OK,’ said Ford. ‘I want to order up some margaritas please. Couple of pitchers. Couple of Chef’s Salads. And as much foie gras as you’ve got. And also London Zoo.’
“好。”福特说，“我要些玛格丽塔酒。两个大杯子。两份主厨沙拉，还有鹅肝，你们有多少就来多少，全送到房间来。对了，还有伦敦动物园。”
‘She’s on the news!’ shouted Arthur from the next room.
“她在电视上！”阿瑟在隔壁房间喊起来。
‘That’s what I said,’ said Ford into the phone. ‘London Zoo. Just charge it to the room.’
“你没听错。”福特对着电话说，“伦敦动物园。只管算进账单里。”
‘She’s… Good God!’ shouted Arthur. ‘Do you know who she’s being interviewed by?’
“她正……老天！”阿瑟喊道，“猜谁在采访她？”
‘Are you having difficulty understanding the English language?’ continued Ford. ‘It’s the zoo just up the road from here. I don’t care if it’s closed this evening. I don’t want to buy a ticket, I just want to buy the zoo. I don’t care if you’re busy. This is room service, I’m in a room and I want some service. Got a piece of paper? OK. Here’s what I want you to do. All the animals that can be safely returned to the wild, return them. Set up some good teams of people to monitor their progress in the wild, see that they’re doing OK.’
“你理解起英文来是不是有点困难？”福特继续往下说，“我说的就是顺着路往下走就能到的那个动物园。我不管它今晚是不是已经关门了。我不想买什么门票，我就想买那个动物园。我不管你忙不忙，这是客房服务，我就住在客房里，而且要你服务。手头有纸没有？好，我要你这么做。所有可以完全放归野外的动物全部放生，找几队专业人士监督，确保它们安然无恙。”
‘It’s Trillian!’ shouted Arthur. ‘Or is it… er… God, I can’t stand all this parallel universe stuff. It’s so bloody confusing. It seems to be a different Trillian. It’s Tricia McMillan which is what Trillian used to be called before… er… Why don’t you come and watch, see if you can figure it out?’
“是崔莉恩！”阿瑟喊道，“或者是……呃……上帝，我真受不了这平行宇宙什么的，该死的真弄不明白。看起来像是另外一个崔莉恩。是崔茜卡.麦克米伦，在那个，呃，你知道，在她离开地球之前大家都这么叫崔莉恩来着。你干嘛不过来瞧瞧，看你能不能看出点什么来？”
