The Confused Delivery Robot

Bram sees a small delivery robot outside his building. It rolls in a slow circle near the curb. The robot beeps softly and stops again. Its wheels turn left, then turn right. It never picks one clear direction.

布拉姆看见他的楼外有一个小小的送货机器人。 它在路边慢慢地绕着圈。 机器人轻轻地“嘀”了一声，又停了下来。 它的轮子一会儿向左转，一会儿向右转。 它始终选不定一个明确的方向。

Bram walks closer to take a look. A small screen on its side shows a map. The map shows a red dot, blinking and stuck.

布拉姆走近了些，想看个究竟。 机器人侧面有一块小屏幕，上面显示着一张地图。 地图上有一个红点，一闪一闪的，被困在原地。

"Are you lost, little robot?" Bram asks it. The robot beeps twice and turns toward him.

“小机器人，你迷路了吗？”布拉姆问它。 机器人“嘀嘀”响了两声，朝他转过身来。

A message appears on its screen. "Error. Building entrance not found," it reads.

屏幕上出现了一条信息。 “错误。找不到大楼入口。”上面写着。

Bram looks up at his own building. The main entrance sits around the corner. A tall hedge blocks it from the street.

布拉姆抬头看了看自己住的这栋楼。 正门就在拐角那边。 一排高高的树篱把它从街上挡住了。

Bram checks the delivery number on the robot. It matches an order from his neighbor upstairs.

布拉姆查看机器人身上的送货编号。 它和楼上邻居的一份订单对上了。

"I know where this goes," Bram says kindly. He taps a small button marked "Follow." The robot rolls slowly behind him.

“我知道这个该送去哪儿。”布拉姆友善地说。 他按了一下标着“跟随”的小按钮。 机器人慢慢地跟在他身后滚动。

Together, they walk around the tall hedge. The building entrance comes into view.

他们一起绕过那排高高的树篱。 大楼的入口出现在眼前。

Bram stops at the front door. The robot beeps happily and opens its lid.

布拉姆在前门停下。 机器人开心地“嘀”了一声，打开了盖子。

Bram lifts out a small package carefully. He carries it inside to the mailroom.

布拉姆小心地拿出一个小包裹。 他把它带进楼里，送到收发室。

The robot spins in a small, cheerful circle. Then it rolls away toward the street.

机器人原地转了个欢快的小圈。 然后朝街上滚去。

Bram waves and watches it go. "Safe travels," he says with a smile. He wonders how many buildings confuse it each day. Maybe every hedge in town needs a trim.

布拉姆挥挥手，目送它离开。 “一路平安。”他笑着说。 他不知道每天有多少栋楼会把它弄糊涂。 也许镇上的每一排树篱都该修剪一下了。
