5. One Day Very, Very Soon

CHAPTER 5 ONE DAY VERY, VERY SOON Remember when I said that George and Harold's "silly streak" got them into big, BIG trouble once? Well, this is the story of how that happened. And how some huge pranks (and a little blackmail) turned their principal into the coolest superhero of all time. It was the day of the big football game between the Horwitz Knuckleheads and the Stubinville Stinkbugs. The bleachers were filled with fans.

第五章有一天很快还记得我说过乔治和哈罗德的“傻脾气”曾经给他们带来过很大很大的麻烦吗？ 好吧，这就是发生的故事。 以及一些大型恶作剧（和一点勒索）如何将他们的校长变成有史以来最酷的超级英雄。 今天是霍维茨傻瓜队和斯塔英维尔臭虫队之间的一场大型橄榄球赛。 露天看台上挤满了球迷。

The cheerleaders ran onto the field and shook their pom-poms over their heads. A fine black dust drifted out of their pom-poms and settled all around them. "Gimme a K!" shouted the cheerleaders. "K!" repeated the fans. "Gimme an N!" shouted the cheerleaders. "N!" repeated the fans. "Gimme an... a-ah-ah-A-CHOO!" sneezed the cheerleaders. "A-ah-ah-A-CHOO!" repeated the fans.

拉拉队的队员们跑到场地上，在头顶上挥动着他们的绒球。 一团细小的黑色灰尘从他们的绒球里飘出来，落在他们周围。 “给我一个K!”拉拉队员喊道。 “K!”粉丝们重复道。“给我一个N!”拉拉队员喊道。 “不！”粉丝们重复道。“给我一个… “啊——啊——啊——呜！”拉拉队员们打了个喷嚏。 “啊——啊——啊——呜！”粉丝们重复着。

The cheerleaders sneezed and sneezed and sneezed some more. They couldn't stop sneezing. "Hey!" shouted a fan in the bleachers. "Somebody sprinkled black pepper into the cheerleaders' pom-poms!" "I wonder who did that?" asked another fan.

拉拉队队员打了个喷嚏，打了个喷嚏，又打了个喷嚏。 他们不停地打喷嚏。 “嘿！”看台上的一名球迷喊道。 “有人在啦啦队的球球上撒了黑胡椒！”另一位粉丝问道：“我想知道是谁干的？”

The cheerleaders stumbled off the field, sneezing and dripping with mucus, as the marching band members took their places. But when the band began to play, steady streams of bubbles began blowing out of their instruments! Bubbles were everywhere! Up and down the field the marching band slipped and slid, leaving behind a thick trail of wet, bubbly foam. "Hey!" shouted a fan in the bleachers. "Somebody poured bubble bath into the marching band's instruments!" "I wonder who did that?" asked another fan.

当游行乐队成员就位时，拉拉队队员们跌跌撞撞地离开了赛场，打着喷嚏，流着鼻涕。 但是当乐队开始演奏时，他们的乐器开始吹出稳定的气泡流！到处都是泡沫！军乐队在操场上滑来滑去，留下一串湿漉漉的泡沫。 “嘿！”看台上的一名球迷喊道。 “有人把泡泡浴倒在军乐队的乐器上了！”另一位粉丝问道：“我想知道是谁干的？”

Soon, the football teams took the field. The Knuckleheads kicked the ball. Up, up, up went the ball. Higher and higher it went. The ball sailed into the clouds and kept right on going until nobody could see it anymore. "Hey!" shouted a fan in the bleachers. "Somebody filled the game ball with helium!" "I wonder who did that?" asked another fan.

很快，足球队上场了。 傻瓜们踢了球。 球飞起来，飞起来，飞起来。它飞得越来越高。 球飞进云层，一直向前飞，直到没有人再看到它。 “嘿！”看台上的一名球迷喊道。 “有人把比赛用球装满了氦气！”另一位粉丝问道：“我想知道是谁干的？”

But the missing ball didn't make any difference because at that moment, the Knuckleheads were rolling around the field, scratching and itching like crazy. "Hey!" shouted the coach. "Somebody replaced our Deep-Heating Muscle Rub Lotion with Mr. Prankster's Extra-Scratchy Itching Cream!" "We wonder who did that?!" shouted the fans in the bleachers.

但是丢了球并没有什么区别，因为在那一刻，傻瓜们正在球场上打滚，疯狂地抓挠和搔痒。 “嘿！”教练喊道。“有人把我们的深层加热肌肉摩擦乳液换成了恶作剧先生的特别痒膏！”“我们想知道是谁干的？！”看台上的球迷喊道。
