8. The Sweetness and Innocence of Children

CHAPTER 8 THE SWEETNESS AND INNOCENCE OF CHILDREN "Hello, boys and girls," said the professor a week later. "I'm going to be your new science teacher. My name is...

“孩子们，大家好，”一个星期后，教授说。 “我将成为你们新的科学老师。 我的名字是……

...Professor Pippy P. Poopypants."

．．．皮皮·p·便便裤教授。”

"Alright, settle down, boys and girls. Yes, yes, it's a funny name, I know, but let me explain how I got this name. Please, children, settle down. It's not that funny, let me assure you. Um... boys and girls... BOYS AND GIRLS! Please stop laughing! Alright, I'm going to count to ten, and when I'm done, I want all of you to quiet down so we can learn about the wonderful world of science. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven... eight... nine...

“好了，孩子们，安静下来。 是的，是的，这是一个有趣的名字，我知道，但让我解释一下我是如何得到这个名字的。 孩子们，请安静。 没那么好笑，我向你保证。 嗯…孩子们……孩子们！请别笑了！好了，我要数到十，数完后，我希望你们都安静下来，这样我们就可以了解奇妙的科学世界了。 一、二、三、四、五、六、七…… 八个。九个。

...nine and a half... ummm. Children, PLEASE STOP LAUGHING! I know you're all very far behind in your lessons, and we've got a lot of catching up to do. Boys and girls! STOP IT! I'm not going to tell you again! IT'S NOT FUNNY! There's no reason at all for you to be laughing at my name! I'm sure we all have funny names if you think about it. STOP IT RIGHT NOW! OK, boys and girls, I'll just wait until you all settle down. I can wait...."

．．．九岁半……嗯。 孩子们，请不要笑了！我知道你们的功课都落后了很多，我们还有很多事情要做。 孩子们！停止它!我不会再说一遍！这一点都不好笑！你完全没有理由嘲笑我的名字！如果你仔细想想，我相信我们都有有趣的名字。 马上停下来！好了，孩子们，我就等到你们都安静下来。 我可以等....”

A week later, things hadn't gotten any better. Professor Poopypants was really beginning to get angry. "How am I going to get through to these children?" he asked himself. "Hey! I've got it! I'll create a wonderful new invention!"

一周后，情况并没有好转。 便便教授真的开始生气了。 他问自己：“我怎么才能说服这些孩子呢？” “嘿!我找到了！我要创造一项了不起的新发明！”
