15. Disguise Falling

CHAPTER 15 DISGUISE FALLING George and Harold rummaged through their houses until they found what they needed. There was no way they were going to show up at school looking like themselves again. They'd learned that lesson in our last book. George and Harold needed a disguise, and it needed to be convincing.

第十五章伪装坠落乔治和哈罗德翻遍了他们的房子，直到找到他们需要的东西。 他们不可能再像原来那样出现在学校了。 他们从我们上一本书中学到了这个教训。 乔治和哈罗德需要伪装，而且要让人信服。

When they arrived at school, George changed into his costume behind the bushes and climbed onto Harold's shoulders. Then they headed into the building. Normally, any stranger entering Jerome Horwitz Elementary School would need to sign in at the office and go through a security screening. But George and Harold noticed that things at school were a little more relaxed today.

他们到了学校，乔治在灌木丛后面换上戏服，爬到哈罗德的肩膀上。 然后他们走进了大楼。 通常情况下，任何进入杰罗姆·霍维茨小学的陌生人都需要在办公室签到并通过安全检查。 但是乔治和哈罗德注意到今天学校的气氛轻松了一些。

Their first clue was that there were no adults in the office. At least it looked that way. Upon closer inspection, they discovered that the school secretary, Miss Anthrope, was sound asleep on the floor under her desk. Some third graders were giving her a foot massage, while the sixth-grade AV club was answering the phone and filing papers. "That's weird," said George.

他们的第一个线索是办公室里没有成年人。 至少看起来是这样。 经过仔细检查，他们发现学校的秘书，Anthrope小姐，正躺在桌子下面的地板上熟睡。 一些三年级的学生正在给她做足部按摩，而六年级的AV俱乐部则在接电话和整理文件。 “真奇怪，”乔治说。

As George and Harold walked down the hallway, things just got weirder and weirder. First, they noticed a brownish haze in the air. "I wonder what that brown fog is all about," said George. "I don't know," said Harold. "I can't smell a thing because of my cold." "Me neither," said George. As they roamed from room to room, they noticed that the other teachers were asleep, too, and their students were doing all sorts of odd things for them. Some kids were giving the teachers massages, and others were shaving their teachers' beards, plucking their eyebrows, and giving them haircuts.

乔治和哈罗德走在走廊上，事情变得越来越奇怪。 首先，他们注意到空气中有一层褐色的薄雾。 “我不知道那棕色的雾是怎么回事。”乔治说。 “我不知道。”哈罗德说。 “因为感冒，我什么都闻不到。” “我也是。”乔治说。 当他们从一个房间转到另一个房间时，他们注意到其他老师也睡着了，他们的学生正在为他们做各种奇怪的事情。 有的孩子给老师按摩，有的孩子给老师刮胡子、拔眉毛、理发。

The mathletes were filling out the teachers' tax forms, while the shop kids were washing all the cars in the faculty parking lot.

数学运动员们正在填写教师的纳税表格，而商店的孩子们正在教员停车场里清洗所有的汽车。

Finally, George and Harold reached the cafeteria, where several teachers were lying on the lunch tables getting Ashiatsu massages and mani-pedis at the same time. "Boy, things sure have gotten a lot better around this place since Rid-O-Kid 2000TM came along!" said Ms. Zurry. "I'll say," said Ms. Guided. "I was happy enough when my students were finally able to sit still and pay attention all day. But when I found out that they'd follow my every command without question, it changed my life!"

最后，乔治和哈罗德来到了自助餐厅，几位老师正躺在午餐桌上，一边做着指压按摩，一边做着美甲。 “天哪，自从Rid-O-Kid 2000TM出现以来，这里的情况确实好多了！” Zurry。“我会说的。” 引导。“当我的学生们终于能够安静地坐一整天，专心听讲时，我感到非常高兴。 但当我发现他们会毫无疑问地听从我的每一个命令时，我的生活就改变了！”
