Ender gripped the handhold and flexed his knees. He noticed that along with the sluggishness, the suit had anamplifying effect on movement. It was hard to get them started, but the suit's legs kept moving, and strongly,after his muscles had stopped. Give them a push this strong, and the suit pushes with twice the force. I'll beclumsy for a while. Better get started.So, still grasping the handhold, he pushed off strongly with his feet.Instantly he flipped around, his feet flying over his head, and landed fiat on his back against the wall. Therebound was stronger, it seemed, and his hands tore loose from the handhold. He flew across the battleroom,tumbling over and over.For a sickening moment he tried to retain his old up-and-down orientation, his body attempting to right itself,searching for the gravity that wasn't there. Then he forced himself to change his view. He was hurtling toward awall. That was down. And at once he had control of himself. He wasn't flying, he was falling. This was a dive.He could choose how he would hit the surface.I'm going too fast to catch ahold and stay, but I can soften the impact, can fly off at an angle if I roll when I hitand use my feet--It didn't work at all the way he had planned. He went off at an angle, but it was not the one he had predicted.Nor did he have time to consider. He hit another wall, this time too soon to have prepared for it. But quiteaccidently he discovered a way to use his feet to control the rebound angle. Now he was soaring across the roomagain, toward the other boys who still clung to the wall. This time he had slowed enough to be able to grip arung. He was at a crazy angle in relation to the other boys, but once again his orientation had changed, and as faras he could tell, they were all lying on the floor, not hanging on a wall, and he was no more upside down thanthey were."What are you trying to do, kill yourself?" asked Shen."Try it," Ender said. "The suit keeps you from hurting yourself, and you can control your bouncing with yourlegs, like this." He approximated the movement he had made.第 62 页 共 340 页http://www.en8848.com.cn/ 原 版 英 语 阅 读 网
