24. The Chapter Before the Last Chapter

CHAPTER 24 THE CHAPTER BEFORE THE LAST CHAPTER George took Captain Underpants over to the bushes behind the school and ordered him to dress back up like Mr. Krupp. "Let's go, bub," said George. "We haven't got all day!"

第二十四章上一章前一章乔治把内裤队长带到学校后面的灌木丛里，命令他重新穿得像克虏伯先生那样。 “我们走吧，小家伙。”乔治说。 “我们没有一整天的时间！”

Then Harold had some fun with the garden hose. In no time at all, Mr. Krupp was back to his old nasty self again.

然后哈罗德拿着花园水管玩了一会儿。 很快，克虏伯先生又变回了那个讨厌的老样子。

Soon the cops showed up to arrest Professor Poopypants. "There's one thing I don't understand," said George to the professor. "Wouldn't it have been smarter to change your own name instead of forcing the rest of the world to change theirs?" "Gosh," said Professor Poopypants, "I never thought of that!"

很快警察来逮捕了便便教授。 “有一件事我不明白，”乔治对教授说。 “改自己的名字，而不是强迫世界上其他人改他们的名字，难道不是更聪明吗？”“天哪，”便便裤教授说，“我从没想过这个！”

A few weeks later, George and Harold received a letter from the Piqua State Penitentiary. Dear George and Harold, Sorry about trying to overthrow the would and everything. I've decided to take your advice and change my name to that people won't laugh at me any- more. From now on I'll be going by my grandfather name (on my mothers side). It's such a relief knowing that nobody will ever make fun of my name again. Signed, Tippy Tinkletrousers

几周后，乔治和哈罗德收到了皮夸州立监狱寄来的一封信。 亲爱的乔治和哈罗德，很抱歉我们试图推翻国王的统治。 我已经决定接受你的建议，把我的名字改成人们不会再嘲笑我了。 从现在起，我将用我祖父的名字（在我母亲那边）。 知道再也没有人拿我的名字开玩笑了，真是松了一口气。 签名，提比·丁克尔裤子
