4. He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Flushed

CHAPTER 4 HE-WHO-MUST-NOT- BE-FLUSHED The Turbo Toilet 2000 entered Earth's atmosphere in a blazing fireball from the sky. His rocket scooter roared over the rooftops of the small Ohio town as the porcelain predator bellowed out an eardrum-crushing taunt, "HEEEEEEEEERE'S JOHNNY!"

第4章他不能冲的涡轮马桶2000从天空变成一个燃烧的火球进入地球大气层。 他的火箭滑板车在俄亥俄州小镇的屋顶上呼啸而过，瓷捕食者咆哮着发出震耳欲聋的嘲讽：“嘿嘿嘿，约翰尼！”

Then came the destruction. Buildings collapsed. City buses were thrown through skyscraper windows. Fires raged out of control. The chaos and devastation crippled the town, sent residents running for their lives... and annoyed the heck out of one little boy.

然后是毁灭。 建筑物倒塌。城市公交车被扔进摩天大楼的窗户。 大火肆虐，失去控制。 混乱和破坏使小镇陷入瘫痪，居民们纷纷逃命。 还把一个小男孩惹毛了。

Melvin Sneedly had been trying to get some work done in his bedroom laboratory when the attack began. All he needed was one or two more hours of uninterrupted silence to complete his experiment, but the terrible ruckus outside was really getting on his nerves. Melvin marched over to his bedroom window, poked his head out, and shouted, "HEY! I'm trying to WORK, you idioti BE QUIET!!!"

袭击发生时，梅尔文·斯尼利正试图在他卧室的实验室里完成一些工作。 他所需要的只是一两个小时不受打扰的安静来完成他的实验，但是外面可怕的喧嚣真的让他心烦意乱。 梅尔文大步走到卧室窗前，探出头来，喊道：“嘿！我在工作呢，你个白痴，安静点！！”

As you can probably imagine, the Turbo Toilet 2000 didn't take too kindly to being dressed down in such a manner. He swiveled his massive bowl around quickly and glared at Melvin with raging, hard-boiled eyeballs. "Uh-oh," Melvin gulped. Suddenly, the Turbo Toilet 2000 leaped at Melvin. The tiny tattletale screamed as the malevolent miscreant chased him down the street, across the city, and into the empty, darkened hallways of Jerome Horwitz Elementary School.

正如你可能想象的那样，涡轮马桶2000并不太喜欢被这样打扮。 他迅速地转动着他的大碗，用愤怒、冷酷的眼睛瞪着梅尔文。 “哦哦，”梅尔文哽咽着说。突然，2000涡轮马桶向梅尔文扑了过来。 当这个恶毒的恶棍追着他跑过街道，穿过城市，进入杰罗姆·霍维茨小学空荡荡、黑暗的走廊时，这个小告密者尖叫着。

Melvin ran upstairs and hid under Mr. Krupp's desk while the Turbo Toilet 2000 searched through the classrooms for him. Melvin was in deep trouble. Finally, he actually needed Captain Underpants's help, but the Waistband Warrior was nowhere to be found. "Rats!" said Melvin. "If only I could— OUCH!" Melvin's knee was pressing down into something sharp. Carefully, Melvin reached down and pulled the pointy little object out of his knee. It was a toenail. Not just any toenail, either. It was one of Mr. Krupp's thick, greasy, yellow toenails that he had clipped off the day before he had been whisked away on his journey back through time.

梅尔文跑上楼，躲在克虏伯先生的桌子下面，同时涡轮马桶2000在教室里搜寻他。 梅尔文陷入了大麻烦。 最后，他真的需要内裤队长的帮助，但腰带战士无处可寻。 “老鼠！”梅尔文说。“要是我能——哎哟！”梅尔文的膝盖被什么锋利的东西压住了。 梅尔文小心翼翼地伸手把那个尖尖的小东西从膝盖上拿了出来。 那是一只脚趾甲。也不是普通的脚趾甲。 这是克虏伯的一只又厚又腻又黄的脚趾甲，是在他被带往时空旅行的前一天剪下的。

"Ewwww! What a slob!" said Melvin, as he flicked the toenail away. Then Melvin thought of something. He knew that Mr. Krupp was also Captain Underpants. That meant that Mr. Krupp's DNA must have some kind of super-powered element in its makeup. If Melvin could find a way to extract the super-powered element from Mr. Krupp's DNA, Melvin could, theoretically, transfer those super powers to himself! "Where's that toenail?" cried Melvin.

“Ewwww !“真是个邋遢鬼！”梅尔文一边说，一边把脚趾甲弹开。 这时梅尔文想到了一件事。 他知道克虏伯先生也是内裤船长。 这意味着克虏伯先生的DNA中一定含有某种超能力元素。 如果梅尔文能找到从克虏伯先生的DNA中提取超能力元素的方法，理论上，梅尔文就能把这些超能力转移到自己身上！“脚趾甲在哪儿？”梅尔文叫道。
