21. It's Nice to Meet Me

CHAPTER 21 IT'S NICE TO MEET ME George and Harold could hardly contain themselves as they rang the doorbell of George's future self. They were so excited, they'd almost forgotten why they had come to the future in the first place. Soon, George's future self came to the door. He looked a lot like George, only he was really, really old. He was almost THIRTY!

第21章很高兴见到我乔治和哈罗德忍不住按响了乔治未来的门铃。 他们太兴奋了，几乎忘了当初为什么要来到未来。 很快，乔治未来的自己来到了门口。 他看起来很像乔治，只不过他真的很老了。 他快三十岁了！

Old George recognized George and Harold immediately. "HOLY TOLEDO!" cried Old George. "Wh-What are you guys doing here?" Old George's wife came to the door, too. "Don't be rude to your fans, honey," she said. "Invite them in! Make yourselves at home, boys." "These aren't my fans, dear," said Old George. "They're US!" "US who?" asked Mrs. Beard. "It's Harold and me from when we were kids," said Old George.

老乔治立刻认出了乔治和哈罗德。 “天哪！”老乔治叫道。 “你们在这儿干什么？”老乔治的妻子也来到了门口。 “亲爱的，不要对你的粉丝无礼，”她说。 “请他们进来！”孩子们，别拘束。” “亲爱的，这些不是我的扇子。”老乔治说。 “他们是我们!”“我们谁？”比尔德太太问。 “这是我和哈罗德小时候的照片。”老乔治说。

George and Harold accepted Mrs. Beard's invitation and made themselves right at home. They gleefully tore through the house, checking out all of Old George's stuff. "Your future house is AWESOME!" said Harold. "Thanks," said George. "I must admit, I have pretty good taste!" "WOW!" cried Harold. "You've even got your own PINBALL MACHINE!!!" "COOL!" exclaimed George. "I've always wanted one!" "Can I play it?" asked Harold. "I guess so," said George. "After all, it's mine."

乔治和哈罗德接受了比尔德太太的邀请，就像在自己家一样。 他们兴高采烈地翻遍了房子，检查了老乔治的所有东西。 “你未来的房子太棒了！”哈罗德说。 “谢谢。”乔治说。“我必须承认，我很有品位！”“哇！”哈罗德叫道。 “你甚至有了自己的弹球机！！”“酷！”乔治叫道。 “我一直想要一个！”“我能弹吗？”哈罗德问。 “我想是的。”乔治说。 “毕竟，这是我的。”

"Look, Harold," cried George. "There's even a tree house in my backyard!" "Er, that's not for us," said Old George. "That's for our kids." "Our KIDS?!!?' asked George. "I guess it's time you boys met the whole family," said Mrs. Beard. "I'll go round up the children, honey, while you call Harold and Billy."

“瞧，哈罗德。”乔治叫道。 “我家后院甚至还有一个树屋！”“呃，那不是给我们的，”老乔治说。 “那是为了我们的孩子。”“我们的孩子? ! ! ?乔治问。 “我想是时候让你们见见全家人了，”比尔德太太说。 “我去把孩子们叫来，亲爱的，你去叫哈罗德和比利。”
