Chapter 35 | 35. |
That night, as the Heart of Gold was busy putting a few light-years between itself and the Horsehead Nebula, Zaphod lounged under the small palm tree on the bridge trying to bang his brain into shape with massive Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters; Ford and Trillian sat in a corner discussing life and matters arising from it; and Arthur took to his bed to flip through Ford’s copy of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Since he was going to have to live in the place, he reasoned, he’d better start finding out something about it. | Te noći, dok se 'Zlatno srce' zabavljalo ostavljanjem nekoliko svetlosnih godina između sebe i magline Konjska Glava, Zaphod Biblbroks sedeo je zavaljen pod palmovim drvcetom na mostu i pokušavao da dotera svoj mozak u pristojno stanje ogromnim pangalaktičkim grgolj blasterima; Ford i Trilijan sedeli su u uglu i raspravljali o životu i stvarima vezanim za njega; Artur je poneo s sobom u postelju Fordov primerak knjige Autostoperski vodič kroz Galaksiju da bi ga malo prelistavao. Pošto je trebalo da živi na ovom mestu, razmišljao je on, najbolje da ga što više upozna. |
He came across this entry. | Naišao je na sledeći odlomak. |
It said: “The History of every major Galactic Civilization tends to pass through three distinct and recognizable phases, those of Survival, Inquiry and Sophistication, otherwise known as the How, Why and Where phases. | Pisalo je: Istorija svake veće galaktičke civilizacije teži da prođe kroz tri zasebne i prepoznatljive faze, a to su preživljavanje, istraživanje i produhovljenje, drugačije poznate kao faze Kako, Zašto i Gde. |
“For instance, the first phase is characterized by the question How can we eat? the second by the question Why do we eat? and the third by the question Where shall we have lunch?” | Na primer, za prvu fazu osobeno je pitanje 'Kako ćemo da jedemo?' za drugu 'Zašto jedemo?', a za treću 'Kuda ćemo na ručak?'" |
He got no further before the ship’s intercom buzzed into life. | Nije stigao dalje, jer je brodski interfon zazujao i oživeo. |
“Hey, Earthman? You hungry, kid?” said Zaphod’s voice. | "Hej, Zemljanine? Jesi li ogladneo, mladiću?" upita Zaphodov glas. |
“Er, well, yes, a little peckish, I suppose,” said Arthur. | "Ovaj, jesam, kao da mi malo krče creva", odvrati Artur. |
“Okay, baby, hold tight,” said Zaphod. “We’ll take in a quick bite at the Restaurant at the End of the Universe.” | "U redu, mali, drž'se dobro", reče Zaphod. "Idemo da čalabrcnemo nešto u 'Restoranu na kraju Vaseljene'." |
