19. The Vow

CHAPTER 19 THE VOW When our five heroes finally reached Slightly Younger Tiny Tippy, he didn't seem at all surprised to see them. "I'm not at all surprised to see you," said Slightly Younger Tiny Tippy, as he sipped casually from his water bottle. "I'll bet you guys want a ride back to the future, don't you?" "We sure do!" said Captain Underpants. "Gee, that would be swell!" Slightly Younger Tiny Tippy pointed his water bottle at Captain Underpants's face and squeezed. SPLASH!

第十九章誓言当我们的五位英雄终于来到小蒂比身边时，他似乎一点也不惊讶。 “看到你我一点也不惊讶，”小蒂比说着，漫不经心地喝了一口水瓶里的水。 “我敢打赌你们都想坐车回到未来，对吧？”“我们当然有！”内裤船长说。 “哇，那太好了！”稍微年轻一点的小提比把他的水瓶对准内裤船长的脸，挤了挤水。 飞溅!

"W-What the heck is going on here?!!?" said Mr. Krupp, as our five heroes began falling to the frozen ground below. "AAAAAAAH!" screamed Harold. "WE'RE DOOMED!"

“这到底是怎么回事？！！？”克虏伯说，这时我们的五位英雄开始掉到下面结冰的地面上。 “啊——啊！”哈罗德尖叫起来。 “我们注定是要失败的!”

Fortunately, Slightly Younger Tiny Tippy caught them before they hit the ground. But unfortunately, he had something even worse in mind for them than a 120-foot drop to their deaths. As Slightly Younger Tiny Tippy set his Tinkle-Time Travelometer for a date in the upcoming future, George and Harold bemoaned their continually recurring predicament. "Well, here we are again!" said George. "Back in the same mess we always end up in!" "I know," said Harold. "It seems like every time we crack a joke or make a comic book, something terrible happens!" "You know," said George, "if we ever get out of this mess, I think we should stop goofing around all the time." "Yeah, I agree!" said Harold. "We need to quit making comic books and start paying more attention to our schoolwork!"

幸运的是，小蒂比在他们落地之前抓住了他们。 但不幸的是，他为他们准备了比从120英尺高的地方摔死更糟糕的事情。 小一点的小提比把他的叮当时间旅行计设定在即将到来的未来的一个约会中，乔治和哈罗德哀叹他们不断重复出现的困境。 “好了，我们又来了！”乔治说。 “回到我们最后总是陷入的混乱中！”“我知道。”哈罗德说。 “似乎每次我们讲一个笑话或写一本漫画书，就会发生一些可怕的事情！”“你知道，”乔治说，“如果我们能摆脱这个烂摊子，我想我们就不要再整天游手好闲了。” “对，我同意！”哈罗德说。 “我们需要停止制作漫画书，开始更多地关注我们的学业！”

And as blue, crackling light began to envelop them, George and Harold made a vow to change their ways. They pledged to give up pranks and jokes and comic books, and they promised to begin taking life seriously and to start acting like responsible grown-ups. "Wow!" said George, as they all disappeared into a crackling whirlpool of liquid time. "I feel more mature already!" "Me, too!" said Harold.

当噼啪作响的蓝光开始笼罩他们时，乔治和哈罗德发誓要改变他们的生活方式。 他们发誓不再搞恶作剧，不再开玩笑，不再看漫画书，他们发誓开始认真对待生活，开始像负责任的成年人那样行事。 “哇！”乔治说，他们全都消失在噼啪作响的时间漩涡里。 “我觉得自己已经成熟多了！”“我也是！”哈罗德说。
