“WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!” WALL?·?E’s charge-meter light flashed at a 100 dangerously low level the next morning.
“Mmrrr,” WALL?·?E groaned. It was hard to wake up! Still groggy, he made his way outside and crawled up a r& of trash to the top of his truck. Once settled, he opened his solar panels to the hazy sun. He stretched his tiny arms and felt a surge of power run through his little cables. Finally feeling awake, he heard his solar panel chime, indicating that his electronics were fully charged for a day’s work.
“警告！警告！警告！”第二天早上，瓦力的电量灯不停闪烁着，提示其电量过低。
“唉——”瓦力呻吟道。醒来com太痛苦！虚弱无力的他摇摇摆摆地驶到车外，沿着垃圾铺成的坡道爬到货车顶部。停妥后，他迎着朦胧的太阳打开了他的太阳能电池板。他伸展开他的小胳膊，感到一阵电流在他细细的电线间涌动。他终于觉得自己清醒了，听到他的太阳能电池板发出铃声，提示他的电子设备电量都已充满，足够支撑他一天的工作。
