EVE spent her day scanning the city. She scanned a car engine—NEGATIVE. She slammed the hood. A toilet—NEGATIVE. A space capsule— NEGATIVE. A freighter’s hold —NEGATIVE.
And then something different happened: EVE got caught by the freighter’s giant gray magnet! Swinging upside down, she flipped and wiggled every which way. But no matter how hard she tried, she could not free herself from the powerful magnet.
伊芙一整天都在扫描这座城市。她扫描了一个汽车引擎——“否”。她“砰”地合上引擎盖。一个抽水马桶——“否”。一个太空舱——“否”。一艘货船的货舱——“否”。
这时变故发生了。货船巨大的灰色磁铁吸住了伊芙！她倒置着摇摆着，向各个方向转动和扭动。但是无论多努力，她都无法挣脱强大的磁铁。
