13. A Bad Idea

CHAPTER 13 A BAD IDEA That afternoon, George and Harold sat in their tree house feeling sorry for themselves. "She can't get away with that," said George. "We've got to tell somebody about this." "Nobody's going to believe us," said Harold. "Well, there is one thing we can do," said George. He opened the drawer to their drawing table and searched through the pennies, paper clips, dried spitballs, and rubber bands. Then he pulled out a dusty plastic ring with some gum stuck on it. It was the 3-D Hypno-Ring.

第13章一个坏主意那天下午，乔治和哈罗德坐在他们的树屋里，为自己感到难过。 “她不可能侥幸逃脱。”乔治说。 “我们得把这件事告诉别人。” “没人会相信我们。”哈罗德说。 “好吧，有一件事我们可以做，”乔治说。 他打开通往他们画桌的抽屉，翻遍了硬币、回形针、干纸团和橡皮筋。 然后他拿出一个沾满灰尘的塑料戒指，上面粘着一些口香糖。 这是3d催眠环。

"Oh, no!" said Harold. "I thought we threw that thing away!" "We just threw the instructions away," said George. "But I remember how it works." "Do you remember what happened the LAST TIME WE USED IT?" asked Harold. "Yeah," said George. "But we were fooling around last time. This time we'll be serious. We won't make any mistakes! All we have to do is hypnotize her into changing our grades back to normal. That's all!" "I don't know..." said Harold. "It sounds like a bad idea to me!" "Worse than FLUNKING the fourth grade?" asked George. "Good point," said Harold.

“哦，不！”哈罗德说。“我以为我们把那东西扔了！”“我们只是把说明书扔了。”乔治说。 “但我记得它是怎么运作的。” “你还记得我们上次用它时发生了什么吗？”哈罗德问。 “是啊，”乔治说。“但上次我们只是在胡闹。 这次我们是认真的。 我们不会犯任何错误的！我们要做的就是催眠她让她把我们的成绩改回正常。 这就是!”“我不知道……” 哈罗德说。“我觉得这是个坏主意！”“比四年级不及格还糟吗？”乔治问。 “有道理。”哈罗德说。
