20. Away We Go!

CHAPTER 20 AWAY WE GO! George and Harold were instantly transported twenty years into the future. Quickly, they ran up to an old lady sitting with her twenty- three-year-old son. "Look, son," said the old lady. "A giant, glow-in-the-dark robotic squid is carrying a little boy in one of its tentacles!" "Sure it is, Mom," said her son. "Listen, you need to take your medication EVERY DAY or it's not going to—"

第二十章我们走吧！乔治和哈罗德瞬间穿越到了二十年后的未来。 他们很快跑到一位老太太跟前，她正和她23岁的儿子坐在一起。 “看，孩子，”老太太说。 “一只巨大的、会在黑暗中发光的机器鱿鱼，它的一只触手上叼着一个小男孩！”“当然是，妈妈，”儿子说。 “听着，你必须每天服药，否则就不会——”

"Excuse me," said George. The twenty-three-year-old looked up from his phone and screamed, "AAAAAH! IT'S A GIANT, GLOW-IN-THE-DARK ROBOTIC SQUID CARRYING A LITTLE BOY IN ONE OF ITS TENTACLES!" "Uh, yeah," said George. "Look, we need to borrow your cell phone. We're trying to locate George Beard." "You mean the author?" said the guy.

“对不起，”乔治说。23岁的他从手机上抬起头来，尖叫道：“啊啊啊啊！这是一只巨大的、会在黑暗中发光的机器乌贼，它的一根触手上叼着一个小男孩！”“嗯，是的，”乔治说。 “听着，我们需要借用你的手机。 我们正在找乔治·比尔德。” “你是说作者吗？”

"D-Did you say AUTHOR?!!?" cried George excitedly. "Yeah," said the guy. "Everybody knows George Beard. He writes those Dog Man graphic novels." "NO WAY!!!" screamed George. He was so overcome with happiness, he couldn't contain himself. The glow-in-the-dark, time-traveling Robo-Squid suit jumped up and down, spun around, and danced a happy jig. "I WRITE GRAPHIC NOVELS IN THE FUTURE!!!" screamed George. "OH YEAH!!! I WRITE GRAPHIC NOVELS IN THE FUTURE!!!"

“你是说作者吗？！！？”乔治兴奋地叫道。 “是的，”那人说。“每个人都知道乔治·比尔德。 他写了《狗人》漫画小说。” “没门！！”乔治尖叫道。 他欣喜若狂，控制不住自己。 这身能在黑暗中发光、能穿越时间的机器乌贼套装上下跳跃、旋转，跳着欢快的快步舞。 “将来我要写图画小说！！”乔治尖叫道。 “噢,是的! !我将来会写漫画小说！！”

"Settle down," cried Harold, who was starting to feel ill from all the dancing and jerking around. "You're acting too crazy, man. Show a little self-control, OK?!!?" "Sorry," said George, setting Harold down. "Do you know where Mr. Beard lives?" George asked the guy. "Yeah, he lives up there on Echo Hills next to that graphic novel artist," said the guy. "I think his name is... um... Harold Hutchings or something."

“安静点。”哈罗德叫道，他又跳又跳，开始觉得不舒服了。 “你太疯狂了，伙计。 表现出一点自我控制，好吗？！！？”“对不起。”乔治说着，把哈罗德放下。 “你知道比尔德先生住在哪儿吗？”乔治问那个人。 “是啊，他住在回音山上，就在那个图画小说艺术家旁边，”那人说。 “我想他的名字是……嗯… 哈罗德·哈钦斯之类的。”

"I'M HAROLD HUTCHINGS OR SOMETHING!" screamed Harold, as he jumped up and down, flipped somersaults, and ran around in circles like a crazy person. "I ILLUSTRATE GRAPHIC NOVELS IN THE FUTURE! OH BABY!!! I ILLUSTRATE GRAPHIC NOVELS IN THE FUTURE!" "C'mon, Mr. Self-Control," said George. "Let's go meet our future selves!"

“我是哈罗德·哈钦斯什么的！”哈罗德尖叫着，一边上下跳着，翻着筋斗，像个疯子一样绕着圈子跑。 “我将来会给图画小说配插图！”噢,宝贝! !我将来会给图画小说配插图！”“来吧，自我控制先生。”乔治说。 “我们去见见未来的自己吧！”
