11. Melvin's Fantasy

CHAPTER 11 MELVIN'S FANTASY As Melvin set up the Combine-O-Tron 2000 and made the proper adjustments, he imagined what his life would be like as the world's first bionic boy. He imagined himself walking into school the next day, his arms swinging confidently as he crashed through the classroom wall.

第11章梅尔文的幻想当梅尔文安装好combo - o - tron 2000并进行适当的调整时，他想象着自己作为世界上第一个仿生男孩的生活会是什么样子。 他想象着自己第二天走进学校，双臂自信地摆动着，撞穿了教室的墙。

The girls would swoon as Melvin talked for hours about the amazing world of science. Ms. Ribble would probably let Melvin sit at her desk from now on, because Melvin's new buns of steel would be too massive to fit into an ordinary children's chair.

当梅尔文滔滔不绝地讲述令人惊叹的科学世界时，女孩们会被迷住。 从现在开始，里布尔女士可能会让梅尔文坐在她的办公桌前，因为梅尔文的新钢面包太大了，普通的儿童椅装不下。

Maybe Mr. Krupp would invite the governor to visit the school, so he could show off his smartest and most powerful student. If so, the governor would probably declare a new holiday, "National Melvin Sneedly Day": a day when kids all over the world would get extra homework and pop quizzes to honor the glorious name of Melvin.

也许克虏伯先生会邀请州长参观学校，这样他就可以炫耀他最聪明、最强大的学生了。 如果是这样的话，州长可能会宣布一个新的节日，“全国梅尔文snesney日”：在这一天，全世界的孩子都要做额外的作业和突击测验，以纪念梅尔文这个光荣的名字。

But the best part of all would be George and Harold's reaction. They would be so terrified by Melvin's incredible size and strength, they'd drop to their knees and beg for mercy. And Melvin would spare them only if they agreed to be his servants for all eternity. They'd have to carry his books, sharpen his pencils, and be his personal footstools during each class. "Life is gonna —a-a-A-Chooo! —RULE!" said Melvin.

但最精彩的部分是乔治和哈罗德的反应 他们会被梅尔文难以置信的体型和力量吓坏，他们会跪下来乞求宽恕。 只有当他们同意永远做他的仆人，梅尔文才会宽恕他们。 他们得帮他拿书，削铅笔，每节课都要当他的脚凳。 “生活就是要……——规则！”梅尔文说。
