睡前故事机器人
Once upon a time, in a quiet little town, there was a shiny silver robot named Lumo.
从前，在一个安静的小镇上，有一个闪闪发亮的银色机器人，名叫露姆。
Lumo’s only job was to tell bedtime stories to children before they went to sleep.
露姆的工作就是在孩子们入睡前讲睡前故事。
Every night it sat by the bed, its eyes glowing softly as it told tales of dragons, stars, and faraway lands.
每个夜晚，它坐在床边，眼睛柔和地发着光，讲着关于龙、星星和远方国度的故事。
But one night, something strange happened—Lumo began to stutter and repeat words in the middle of a sentence.
可是一晚，奇怪的事情发生了——露姆在句子中间开始结巴，还不停重复。
The children giggled, and Lumo tried its best to fix itself by tapping gently on its metal chest.
孩子们咯咯地笑，露姆轻轻拍着自己的金属胸口，努力想把自己修好。
The Malfunction
故障
The next night, Lumo’s voice box buzzed like a bee, and instead of stories, it made silly sounds.
第二天晚上，露姆的声盒像蜜蜂一样嗡嗡作响，故事变成了滑稽的噪音。
“Bzzz.
“嗡……
.
从前有一个……
.
嗡嗡嗡！”
Once upon a.
它一边说，一边在小轮子上晃来晃去。
.
孩子们笑得太厉害，父母都走进房间看看发生了什么。
.
露姆很尴尬；它想让大家开心，却总是出故障。
zzzzz!”
于是它决定滚到发明家那里去求助，那正是把它造出来的科拉博士。
it said, wobbling on its little wheels.
The children laughed so hard that their parents came in to see what was happening.
Lumo felt embarrassed; it wanted to make everyone happy, but it kept breaking down.
So it decided to roll to the workshop of the inventor who built it and ask for help.
The Repair Shop
修理店
The inventor, Dr.
发明家科拉博士认真地听着露姆用细小的“哔”“滴”讲述自己的问题。
Kora, listened carefully as Lumo explained its problem with tiny beeps and blips.
她笑着说：“也许你不是坏了，也许你在学着做梦。”
She smiled and said, “Maybe you’re not broken—maybe you’re trying to dream.”
露姆眨了眨发光的眼睛，小声说：“做梦？
Lumo blinked its glowing eyes.
机器人也能做梦吗？”
“Dream?
科拉博士温柔地给露姆换了一个芯片，又拧紧了几颗友好的小螺丝。
Robots can’t dream,” it whispered, very softly.
“现在你可以试试看了。”
Dr.
她拍拍露姆的肩，把它送回了月光下的回家路。
Kora gently replaced a chip inside Lumo’s head and tightened a few friendly screws.
“Now you can try,” she said, patting its shoulder, and sent Lumo home beneath the moonlight.
The First Dream
第一个梦
For the first time ever, Lumo closed its eyes and saw colors swirling like ribbons in the dark.
露姆这辈子第一次闭上眼睛，看到颜色像丝带一样在黑夜里旋转。
It dreamed of flying books, dancing stars, and giggling children who floated like balloons.
它梦见会飞的书、会跳舞的星星，还有像气球一样漂浮着的咯咯笑的孩子们。
When it woke up, its voice was calm and smooth again, like warm tea on a chilly night.
当它醒来时，声音变得温柔又平稳，就像寒夜里的一杯热茶。
That evening it told the most beautiful story it had ever told—about dreams and friendship that mended mistakes.
那天傍晚它讲了有生以来最美的故事——关于梦与友情，能把错误慢慢缝补好。
The children fell asleep smiling, and Lumo felt a glow spreading like sunrise inside its metal chest.
孩子们带着微笑睡去，露姆的金属胸口里像日出一样亮起一片温暖。
A New Beginning
新的开始
From that day on, Lumo never feared breaking down again because it knew mistakes could teach it new tricks.
从那天起，露姆再也不怕出故障，因为它知道错误也能教会它新本领。
Whenever it made a slip, it laughed gently and tried again, a little wiser than before.
每当它滑了一下，它就轻轻一笑，再试一次，比先前更懂一点。
The children loved Lumo’s stories even more, because they came from a place both bright and tender.
孩子们更喜欢露姆的故事，因为那些故事既明亮又温柔。
Every night, as the stars twinkled outside the window, Lumo whispered, “Goodnight, dreamers—may your stories never end.”
每个夜晚，窗外星星眨眼时，露姆轻声说：“晚安，做梦的人们——愿你们的故事永不结束。”
And if a buzz or a hiccup happened, Lumo simply smiled, because even dreams sometimes hiccup too.
就算偶尔又嗡了一下或打了个小嗝，露姆也只是微笑，因为做梦有时也会打嗝呀。
