17. All Tied Up

CHAPTER 17 ALL TIED UP Wedgie Woman brought George and Harold back to her house and tied the boys tightly to two chairs. "Tell me the secret identity of Captain Underpants!" screamed Wedgie Woman. "No way!" said George. "Hmmmm," said Wedgie Woman. "You want to do this the hard way? No problem!"

第17章全部被绑住穿短裤的女人把乔治和哈罗德带回了自己的家，把两个男孩紧紧地绑在两把椅子上。 “告诉我内裤队长的秘密身份！” “不行！”乔治说。“嗯，”女人说。 “你想硬的吗？” 没问题!”

Wedgie Woman's hair began uncoiling itself. Several twisted locks of hair stretched out into the living room and started taking apart the television, the computer, and a ThighMaster@.

女人的头发开始散开。 几绺扭曲的头发伸到客厅里，开始拆开电视机、电脑和一台ThighMaster@.

Other tangled coils reached into the kitchen and began dismantling the dishwasher, the toaster oven, and a Ronco Food Dehydrator. "What are you doing?" asked Harold. "If you want to make robots," said Wedgie Woman, "you gotta break a few small appliances!"

其他缠在一起的线圈伸到了厨房，开始拆卸洗碗机、烤面包机和朗科食品脱水机。 “你在干什么？”哈罗德问。 “如果你想制造机器人，”Wedgie Woman说，“你得弄坏一些小电器！”

George and Harold watched impatiently while Wedgie Woman's hair assembled thousands of assorted screws, bolts, wires, gears, cathode tubes, and computer chips. Soon, two small robots began taking shape. "I didn't know Ms. Ribble was smart enough to make robots," said Harold. "Me, neither," said George. "I think some of that Extra-Strength Super Power Juice must have soaked into her brain!"

乔治和哈罗德不耐烦地看着“维吉女人”的头发把成千上万个各式各样的螺丝、螺栓、电线、齿轮、阴极管和电脑芯片组装在一起。 很快，两个小机器人开始成形。 “我不知道里布尔女士这么聪明，能制造机器人。”哈罗德说。 “我也是。”乔治说。 “我想一定是一些超强能量果汁浸透了她的大脑！”

The next morning, Wedgie Woman completed her robots, which she named "Robo-George" and "The Harold 2000." "You know," said Harold, "something about those robots seems a little familiar!" "Yeah," said George. "They kinda look like us... only not as dashingly handsome." Wedgie Woman opened the robots' chest plates and inserted a can of spray starch into each one. Then she sealed the chest plates, patted each robot on the head, and sent them both off to school. "Captain Underpants doesn't stand a chance now!" Wedgie Woman laughed.

第二天早上，Wedgie Woman完成了她的机器人，她将其命名为“robogeorge”和“The Harold 2000”。 “你知道，”哈罗德说，“那些机器人有点眼熟！”“是啊，”乔治说。 “他们看起来有点像我们…… 只不过没有他那么潇洒罢了。” Wedgie Woman打开机器人的胸板，在每个机器人的胸板上插入一罐喷雾淀粉。 然后她封好胸板，拍拍每个机器人的头，送他们去学校。 “内裤队长现在没有机会了！”女人笑了。

"Wait a minute," said Harold. "How are those two robots going to stop Captain Underpants?" "All they have to do is wait and listen," said Wedgie Woman. "And as soon as they hear the words 'Tra-La-Laaaaa!' it'll all be over!"

“等一下。”哈罗德说。 “那两个机器人要怎么阻止内裤队长？”“他们所要做的就是等待和倾听，”Wedgie Woman说。 “他们一听到‘特拉-拉-拉！“一切都结束了！”
