5. The Fun Begins

CHAPTER 5 THE FUN BEGINS An hour or so later, the buses returned to the school. All of the children got off, packed up their stuff, and got ready to go home. Mr. Fyde, the science teacher, was on school bus duty. The rest of the teachers gathered around George and Harold and began teasing them.

大约一个小时后，公共汽车回到了学校。 所有的孩子都下了车，收拾好自己的东西，准备回家。 科学老师菲德先生在校车值班。 其他的老师围到乔治和哈罗德身边，开始取笑他们。

"You kids sure did miss a FUN field trip!" said Ms. Ribble. "The pizza was SO delicious! Too bad you didn't get any!" "I wanted to bring you back a pizza," said Mr. Meaner, "but I ate it on the bus!" He threw an empty pizza box at George and Harold's feet, and the teachers howled with laughter. "Maybe you can lick the cheese off the box," Mr. Krupp roared.

“你们这些孩子确实错过了一次有趣的实地考察！” 博尔。“披萨太好吃了！”可惜你什么也没得到！”“我想给你带一个披萨回来，”米纳先生说，“但我在公共汽车上吃了！”他把一个空披萨盒扔到乔治和哈罗德的脚上，老师们哄堂大笑。 “也许你可以舔掉盒子上的奶酪，”克虏伯吼道。

The teachers eventually got tired of taunting George and Harold, so they retreated to the teachers' lounge to relax. "Hey, how come it's so dark in here?" asked Mr. Meaner, as he flicked on the lights. The ceiling fan began rotating very slowly...

老师们终于厌倦了嘲笑乔治和哈罗德，于是他们退到教师休息室休息。 “嘿，这里怎么这么黑？”米纳先生一边开灯一边问。 吊扇开始慢慢旋转。

Ms. Ribble went to the sink and turned on the faucet. Suddenly, the spray nozzle sprayed cold water all over her. "AAAAUGH!" she screamed. "Somebody turn the water off!" The other teachers sprang up and tried to help. They all got sprayed, too. The ceiling fan was rotating faster now, and some of the powdered paste had begun flying off the fan blades. The teachers struggled with the faucet, pushing and shoving each other. Finally, somebody turned the water off... but not before everyone was thoroughly SOAKED!

里布尔走到水池边，打开水龙头。 突然，喷头把冷水喷了她一身。 “哈哈！”她尖叫起来。“谁把水关了！”其他老师都跳起来想帮忙。 他们也都被喷了。 吊扇转得更快了，一些粉末开始从扇叶上飞出去。 老师们在水龙头前挣扎，互相推搡。 终于有人把水关了。 但在那之前，每个人都浑身湿透了！

The ceiling fan was now spinning at full speed. All of the powder on the fan blades had been flung off, and it was now floating down onto the wet teachers. "Hey, what the—" cried Mr. Meaner. "What's all this sticky stuff?!!?" yelled Miss Anthrope.

吊扇正在全速旋转。 风扇叶片上所有的粉末都被甩了出去，飘到了湿漉漉的老师身上。 “嘿，搞什么——”米纳先生叫道。 “这些黏糊糊的东西是什么？！！？”

By now, all of the teachers were covered in gooey, sticky paste. It didn't take a genius to know that George and Harold were behind all this. "Those brats better not have touched my diet soda!" Ms. Ribble shouted. She dashed to the refrigerator and swung the door open.

到现在为止，所有的老师身上都涂满了粘稠的浆糊。 即使不是天才也能看出乔治和哈罗德是幕后主使。 “那些小鬼最好别碰我的无糖汽水！”Ms。 博尔喊道。她冲到冰箱前，把门打开。
