11. Dark Foreshadows

CHAPTER 11 DARK FORESHADOWS Melvin went to his garage and climbed into his glow-in-the-dark, time-traveling Robo- Squid suit. Quickly, the suit powered up and started slinking and slithering toward the schoolyard as Melvin began the long journey to bring George, Harold, and Captain Underpants back home where they belonged.

梅尔文走进他的车库，穿上他那套能在黑暗中发光、能穿越时间的机器人鱿鱼套装。 很快，宇航服启动了，开始向校园滑来滑去，梅尔文开始了把乔治、哈罗德和内裤队长带回家的漫长旅程。

After solving some surveillance photo issues at the bank, Melvin zapped himself to the future, fetched everyone, and brought them all back one year earlier to the exact time and place where they had departed on their journey in our last book. George, Harold, and Captain Underpants had been through a lot in the past few days, but now it was as if they had never left at all. Everything was just as it had been.

在解决了银行的监控照片问题后，梅尔文把自己传送到未来，把所有人都接回来，把他们都带回到一年前他们在上一本书中出发的时间和地点。 乔治、哈罗德和内裤队长在过去的几天里经历了很多事情，但现在他们好像从来没有离开过。 一切都和以前一样。

The Turbo Toilet 2000 wouldn't arrive on Earth for another two weeks, so Melvin's future as a superhero would never become reality. And nobody was happier about that than Melvin himself. "I don't have to be a superhero anymore!" cried Melvin happily. "I can finally follow my destiny! Peace and quiet at last!"

涡轮马桶2000要两周后才会到达地球，所以梅尔文作为超级英雄的未来永远不会成为现实。 没有人比梅尔文自己更高兴了。 “我不用再当超级英雄了！”梅尔文高兴地叫道。 “我终于可以跟随我的命运了！”终于平静了！”

"But you still haven't told us why you've brought us back," said George. "Yeah," said Harold. "What gives?" "Oh, you'll find out," said Melvin with a foreboding chuckle. "In two weeks, you'll find out!" Melvin unleashed a horrible, villainous laugh as his glow-in-the-dark Robo-Squid suit began to shake and buzz. Soon, he and his tentacled time machine disappeared into a ball of electric light.

“可是你还没有告诉我们为什么把我们带回来。”乔治说。 “是啊。”哈罗德说。“到底发生了什么事?”“哦，你会知道的，”梅尔文说着不祥的轻笑。 “两周后，你就会知道了！”梅尔文发出了可怕的、邪恶的笑声，他的黑暗中发光的机器鱿鱼套装开始摇晃和嗡嗡作响。 很快，他和他的触角时间机器消失在一个电光球。
