15. The New Melvin

CHAPTER 15 THE NEW MELVIN You might think that turning into a Bionic Booger Boy was the worst thing that could ever happen to a kid, but it wasn't all bad. Believe it or not, there was actually a positive side to being a lumbering loogie lad. For instance, Melvin now won every football game he played... because no one wanted to tackle him.

第十五章新的梅尔文你可能会认为，变成一个仿生鼻屎男孩是一个孩子所能遇到的最糟糕的事情，但这并不全是坏事。 信不信由你，当个懒汉其实也有积极的一面。 例如，梅尔文现在赢得了他参加的每一场足球比赛…… 因为没人想对付他。

And when he served a volleyball, nobody on the other team would dare to hit the ball back.

当他发排球时，对方没有人敢回击。

Besides being the school's new sports star, there were other perks, too. Melvin never had to wait in line at the drinking fountain anymore. Now he had his own personal drinking fountain, because... well, would you use a drinking fountain after a Bionic Booger Boy had globbered all over it?

除了成为学校的新体育明星，还有其他津贴。 梅尔文再也不用在饮水机前排队了。 现在他有了自己的私人饮水机，因为…… 好吧，如果一个仿生鼻屎男孩在饮水机上到处都是，你还会用它吗？

I didn't think so. All of the special attention that Melvin was receiving made some of the other kids a little jealous. But not George and Harold. Considering the many evil villains that George and Harold had been battling all year, the two boys were just grateful that Melvin hadn't turned himself into a gigantic, terrifying beast with plans to destroy the earth.

我不这么认为。梅尔文受到的特别关注让其他一些孩子有点嫉妒。 但乔治和哈罗德不是。 考虑到乔治和哈罗德一整年都在与许多邪恶的恶棍战斗，这两个男孩只是感激梅尔文没有把自己变成一只巨大的、可怕的野兽，计划毁灭地球。

"It could be a LOT worse," said Harold. "At least Melvin's not a terrifying evil villain." "Yeah, you're right," said George. "I can't think of anything that could turn Melvin into a terrifying evil villain..."

“情况可能更糟。”哈罗德说。 “至少梅尔文不是一个可怕的邪恶恶棍。” “是的，你说得对。”乔治说。 “我想不出有什么东西能把梅尔文变成一个可怕的邪恶恶棍……”
