19. The Big Switcheroo

CHAPTER 19 THE BIG SWITCHEROO Klax returned with a carton of Super Evil Rapid-Growth Juice, and placed it on the control panel. "Soon," said Jennifer, "Earth will be OURS!" The three aliens threw back their heads and laughed and laughed. Suddenly, George got an idea.

第十九章大变枪Klax带着一盒超级邪恶速生果汁回来了，把它放在控制面板上。 “很快，”珍妮弗说，“地球就是我们的了！”三个外星人仰起头，笑个不停。 突然，乔治有了一个主意。

He whispered to Harold for a second or two, then he quietly reached through the bars of the jail cell and swiped Klax's carton of Super Evil Rapid-Growth Juice.

他低声对哈罗德说了一两秒钟，然后悄悄地从牢房的栅栏里伸手拿走了克拉克斯的一盒超级邪恶速成果汁。

George carefully peeled the label off the carton, and stuck it over the label of his Ultra Nasty Self-Destruct Juice. While he was busy doing that, Harold reached through the bars and switched the labels of the spray gun and the fuel tank.

乔治小心翼翼地把标签从纸盒上撕下来，贴在他的超毒自毁果汁的标签上。 正当他忙着这么做的时候，哈罗德把手伸进栅栏，把喷枪和油箱的标签调换了一下。

Finally, George reached back through the bars and put his carton of Ultra Nasty Self-Destruct Juice (which now read Super Evil Rapid-Growth Juice) on the control panel. "I don't get it," whispered Captain Underpants. "The fuel tank now says SPRAY GUN, and the spray gun now says FUEL TANK, and the rapid-growth juice has been replaced with self-destruct juice.... What's it all mean?" "You'll find out," said Harold, sadly.

最后，乔治把手伸到栅栏后面，把他的一盒“超恶自毁果汁”（现在是“超恶速成果汁”）放在控制面板上。 “我不明白，”内裤船长小声说。 “油箱现在是喷枪，喷枪现在是油箱，而快速生长的果汁已经被自毁果汁所取代.... 这是什么意思？”“你会知道的。”哈罗德悲伤地说。

When the three evil space guys had finished laughing triumphantly, Jennifer reached for the carton that read Super Evil Rapid-Growth Juice and poured it into the nozzle that read SPRAY GUN. "Oh, I get it," said Captain Underpants. "That space guy didn't pour growth juice into the spray gun—he poured self- destruct juice into the fuel tank!" "Yep," George said sadly. "And that means this spaceship thingy is going to explode into millions of pieces!" "Right," said Harold gloomily.

当三个邪恶的太空人得意地笑完后，詹妮弗伸手拿起写着“超级邪恶快速生长果汁”的纸盒，把它倒进写着“喷枪”的喷嘴里。 “哦，我明白了，”内裤船长说。 “那个太空人没有往喷枪里倒生长液，他往油箱里倒的是自毁液！”“是的，”乔治伤心地说。 “这意味着这艘宇宙飞船会爆炸成数百万个碎片！”“好吧。”哈罗德沮丧地说。

The spaceship began to sputter and shake as smoke billowed out of the control panels. Soon sparks were flying and ceiling tiles were falling. Captain Underpants smiled proudly because he had figured out George's plan. But his smile didn't last long. "Hey," he cried. "WE'RE in the spaceship thingy! What's gonna happen to us?" "We had to sacrifice ourselves to save the world," said George. "I'm afraid we're not going to make it." "Of course we'll make it," cried Captain Underpants. "We've got Wedgie Power on our side!"

随着控制面板冒出滚滚浓烟，飞船开始噼里啪啦地摇晃起来。 很快，火花四溅，天花板上的瓦片纷纷掉落。 内裤队长骄傲地笑了，因为他已经猜到了乔治的计划。 但他的笑容没有持续多久。 “嘿，”他叫道。“我们在宇宙飞船里！”我们会怎么样？”“我们必须牺牲自己来拯救世界，”乔治说。 “恐怕我们去不了了。” “我们当然会成功的，”内裤船长喊道。 “我们有维吉力支持我们”
