13. Bank Robbers

CHAPTER 13 BANK ROBBERS George and Harold rode their skateboards all over town looking for Captain Underpants. "I can't find him anywhere," said Harold. "You'd think a guy like him would be easy to spot," said George.

第十三章银行抢劫犯乔治和哈罗德骑着滑板满城寻找内裤队长。 “我到处都找不到他。”哈罗德说。 “你以为像他这样的人很容易被认出来，”乔治说。

Then the boys turned a corner, and there he was. Captain Underpants was standing in front of a bank, looking quite heroic. "Mr. Krupp!" cried Harold. "Shhh," said George, "don't call him that. Call him Captain Underpants!" "Oh, yeah," said Harold. "And don't forget to snap your fingers," said George. "Right!" said Harold.

然后男孩们拐了个弯，他就在那儿。 “内裤队长”站在一家银行门前，显得很英勇。 “克虏伯先生！”哈罗德叫道。 “嘘，”乔治说，“别那么叫他。 叫他内裤船长吧！”“哦，是啊。”哈罗德说。 “别忘了打响指，”乔治说。 “对！”哈罗德说。

But before he got a chance, the bank doors flew wide open, and out stepped two robbers. The robbers took one look at Captain Underpants and stopped dead in their tracks. "Surrender!" said Captain Underpants. "Or I will have to resort to Wedgie Power!" "Oh, no," whispered George and Harold.

但还没等他有机会，银行的门突然大开，走了出来两个强盗。 强盗们看了“内裤队长”一眼，就停住了脚步。 “投降！”内裤上尉说。 “否则我就只能用内裤力量了！”“哦，不。”乔治和哈罗德小声说。

Nobody moved for about ten seconds. Finally, the robbers looked at each other and burst out laughing. They dropped their loot and fell to the sidewalk screaming in hysterics.

大约有十秒钟没有人动。 最后，强盗们面面相觑，哈哈大笑起来。 他们扔下战利品，倒在人行道上歇斯底里地尖叫。

Almost immediately, the cops showed up and arrested the crooks. "Let that be a lesson to you," cried Captain Underpants. "Never underestimate the power of underwear!" The police chief, looking quite angry, marched over to Captain Underpants. "And just who the heck are you supposed to be?" the police chief demanded. "Why, I'm Captain Underpants, the world's greatest superhero," said Captain Underpants. "I fight for Truth, Justice, and all that is Pre-Shrunk and Cottony!" "Oh, YEAH?!!?" shouted the police chief. "Cuff him, boys!" One of the cops took out his handcuffs and grabbed Captain Underpants by the arm.

警察几乎立即出现并逮捕了这些骗子。 “让这成为你的一个教训，”内裤船长喊道。 “永远不要低估内衣的力量！”警察局长看上去很生气，大步走向“内裤队长”。 “那你到底是谁？”警察局长问道。 “为什么，我是内裤队长，世界上最伟大的超级英雄，”内裤队长说。 “我为真理、正义和所有的预缩水和棉花而战！”“哦，是吗？！！？”警察局长喊道。 “把他铐起来，孩子们！”其中一名警察拿出了他的手铐，抓住了“内裤队长”的手臂。

"Uh-oh!" cried George. "We gotta roll!" Together the two boys zoomed into the crowd, weaving in and out of cops and bystanders. Harold skated up to Captain Underpants and knocked the superhero off his feet. George caught him and the boys skated away with Captain Underpants on their shoulders. "Stop!" cried the cops, but it was too late. George, Harold, and Captain Underpants were gone.

“哎呀！”乔治叫道。“我们得走了！”两个男孩一起迅速地挤进人群，在警察和旁观者之间穿梭。 哈罗德滑到“内裤队长”面前，把这位超级英雄撞倒在地。 乔治抓住了他，孩子们扛着“内裤队长”滑走了。 “住手！”警察喊道，但是已经太晚了。 乔治、哈罗德和内裤队长都不见了。
