╗ ╚ 【書名】：Star Wars: The Force Awakens 星球大戰：原力覺醒 【作者】：Alan Dean Foster 艾倫·迪恩·福斯特 【類型】： 電影原著 【簡介】： FINN AND REY caught up to the unlikely pair in the corridor. Wanting desperately to confront their captor—if captor was what he was, considering that he wasn’t acting much like one—Finn struggled to get past the hairy bipedal mountain that was blocking his path. Said mountain ignored Finn’s feeble efforts to push his way past. 芬恩和雷在走廊上追上了這對不太可能的搭檔。芬恩迫切地想要質疑他們的俘虜──如果他真是俘虜的話，因為他的表現一點也不像──他費力地想要越過擋在他面前的那座毛茸茸的雙足山。然而，那座山對芬恩徒勞的推擠置若罔聞。 Having managed to sidle past on the other side, Rey could hardly contain her incredulity. “This is the Millennium Falcon? I didn’t—I didn’t make the connection when we stole—when we came on board.” She could not keep herself from staring at the pilot. After all, it wasn’t every day in the galaxy that one met a living legend. In point of fact, it was her first living legend. For a living legend, a part of her mused, his appearance was more than a little disheveled. Almost as much as that of his companion. 好不容易從另一邊溜過去，蕾伊幾乎抑制不住內心的難以置信。 「這就是千歲鷹號？我——我當時沒認出來，我們偷——我們登上這艘船的時候，我都沒意識到。」她忍不住盯著飛行員看。畢竟，在這個銀河系裡，不是每天都能遇到活生生的傳奇人物。事實上，這是她遇到的第一個活生生的傳奇人物。她心想，身為一個活生生的傳奇人物，他的外表未免也太邋遢了。幾乎和他的同伴一樣。 “You’re Han Solo,” she said, looking askance. 「你是韓索羅，」她斜眼看著我說。 This time instead of a smile, a grin: part amused, part knowing, and maybe a little bit bitter. “I used to be.” 這一次，他臉上沒有微笑，而是露出了一個意味深長的笑容：既有幾分戲謔，又有幾分瞭然，或許還夾雜著一絲苦澀。「我曾經是。」 Finn found himself equally dumbstruck. Here right before him, close enough to touch, was a celebrated figure from the ancient past. Well, he corrected himself, from the fractious past, anyway. He doubted the individual who had angrily confronted them with blaster in hand would take kindly to being referred to as ancient. And the looming mass of wailing hirsuteness who was his companion…what was his name? He searched his memory and what he knew of history. Slew—something, that was it. No, he corrected himself. That didn’t fit as a name for a—what was the species called? Ookie? Again he fought to recall. 芬恩同樣目瞪口呆。眼前這個人，近在咫尺，彷彿觸手可及，竟然是一位來自遠古時代的名人。嗯，他糾正自己，應該是來自那個動盪的過去。他懷疑，那個曾經手持爆能槍怒氣沖沖地與他們對峙的人，會不會喜歡被稱作「遠古時代」的人。還有他身邊那個毛茸茸、嚎叫不止的傢伙……他叫什麼？他努力回想著，結合自己所知的歷史。斯魯——什麼來著，對了。不對，他又糾正自己。這名字不像是──那個種族叫什麼來著？奧基？他再次努力回想。 Chewbacca. Chewbacca the Wookiee. And Han Solo. The Han Solo. Or else a pair of extremely accomplished liars. Though if what he could remember was accurate, accomplished liar would fit the Han Solo as well as anything else. 丘巴卡。伍基人丘巴卡。還有韓·索羅。韓·索羅。或者說，他們是一對技藝高超的騙子。不過，如果他記憶中的一切都準確無誤的話，「技藝高超的騙子」這個詞用在韓·索羅身上也毫不為過。 No harm in probing further, Finn told himself. It wasn’t as if he and Rey were going anywhere. Not now. 「再多問幾句也無妨，」芬恩心想。反正他和蕾伊又不會離開。至少現在不會。 “Han Solo?” he queried hesitantly. “The Rebellion general?” 「韓·索羅？」他猶豫地問道，「那位義軍將軍？」 “No,” Rey broke in, half accusingly, half admiringly. “The smuggler!” 「不，」蕾伊插嘴道，語氣半是指責半是欽佩，「是走私犯！」 “Huh?” If he had been bemused before, Finn was now thoroughly bewildered. Without thinking, he addressed the shaggy mass lumbering along in front of him. “Wasn’t he a war hero? In the fight against the Old Empire?” 「嗯？」如果說之前芬恩只是有些疑惑，那現在他徹底懵了。他想都沒想，就對著面前那個毛茸茸的、蹣跚而行的傢伙問道：「他不是戰爭英雄嗎？在對抗舊帝國的戰爭中？」 Though the Wookiee uttered something guttural and incomprehensible, Finn thought he managed to catch the gist of it. Something along the lines of “Yeah—I guess—kinda…” Of course, the giant could equally have been confirming what Rey had said. Having no way of knowing whether his intuition or the girl’s identification was correct, he trailed along in confusion. It did not occur to him that both might be equally accurate. 雖然伍基人發出了一些含糊不清、難以理解的聲音，但芬恩覺得他大概聽懂了。大概是「嗯——我想——算是吧……」之類的。當然，這個巨人也可能是在證實蕾伊之前說的話。芬恩無從判斷是自己的直覺還是蕾伊的判斷正確，只能困惑地跟在後面。他完全沒有想到，這兩種說法可能都一樣準確。 Rey could not keep from looking around, seeing the ship she had stolen in an entirely new light. No wonder it was crammed full of modifications! No wonder it had demonstrated unusual speed and maneuverability. 蕾伊忍不住四處張望，以全新的視角審視她偷來的這艘飛船。難怪它被改裝得如此徹底！難怪它展現了異常的速度和機動性。 “The Millennium Falcon.” She could not keep the wonder out of her voice. “This is the ship that made the Kessel Run in fourteen parsecs.” 「千年隼號。」她語氣中難掩驚嘆。「就是這艘飛船，它只用了十四秒差距就完成了凱塞爾航線。」 “Twelve parsecs.” Entering the cockpit ahead of the others, Han scanned the console. A wave of something washed over the Millennium Falcon’s rightful owner. Not nostalgia. That wasn’t part of his makeup. But there was definitely something. Possibly remembrance of old friendships, or adventures long past, or exotic destinations once visited. Most likely the financial opportunities missed. Moving forward, he let his hands rest on the main console as his eyes continued to rove from instrument to monitor to… 「十二秒差距。」韓·索羅走在其他人前面進入駕駛艙，掃視著控制台。一股莫名的情緒湧上千年隼號這位真正主人的心頭。不是懷舊。那不是他的性格。但確實有某種感覺。或許是回憶起昔日的友誼，或許是遙遠的冒險，或許是曾經到訪過的異國風情。最有可能的是，是那些錯失的商機。他繼續向前，雙手搭在主控制台上，目光在各種儀器和顯示器之間游移… [yt]Sl0HLZMLtP8[/yt] 出版日期：2016年9月 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The official novelization of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the blockbuster film directed by J.
