25. How to Reverse the Effects of a Combine-0-Tron 2000 in One Easy Step

CHAPTER 25 HOW TO REVERSE THE EFFECTS OF A COMBINE-O-TRON 2000 IN ONE EASY STEP The Bionic Booger Boy was defeated. He flopped, unconscious, into a giant boogery blob that spread across several city blocks (and nearly four whole pages) as reporters surrounded his massive, oozing body.

第25章如何在一个简单的步骤中扭转combo - o - tron 2000的效果仿生鼻屎男孩被打败了。 他扑倒在地，失去了知觉，变成了一个巨大的屎团，遍布了几个街区（几乎整整四页），记者们围着他那巨大的、渗出来的身体。

Soon, Melvin's mother and father showed up with the Combine-O-Tron 2000. "We saw what was happening on the news," they said. "And we want the world to know that we're going to create a new machine that will reverse the process that turned our son into this monster. If we work together, it should only take a few months to build!" "Why don't you guys just take the batteries out of that Combine-O-Thingu and switch 'em around?" said George. "Wouldn't that reverse the machine's effects?"

很快，梅尔文的父母带着combo - o - tron 2000出现了。 “我们在新闻上看到了正在发生的事情，”他们说。 “我们想让全世界知道，我们将创造一种新机器，它将逆转把我们的儿子变成这个怪物的过程。 如果我们一起努力，应该只需要几个月就能建成！”“你们为什么不把那玩意的电池拿出来换一下呢？”乔治说。 “那不会逆转机器的效果吗？”

"Well," laughed Melvin's father, "obviously you don't know anything about science, little boy. You can't expect to reverse the effects of a highly complex cellular-moleculizing Combine-O-Tron just by switching the batteries around. That type of thing only happens in obnoxious children's books." "Ahem," said George self-consciously. "Well... why don't you just give it a try anyway?"

“好吧，”梅尔文的父亲笑着说，“很明显你对科学一无所知，小男孩。 你不能指望仅仅通过更换电池就能逆转高度复杂的细胞分子化Combine-O-Tron的效果。 这种事情只会发生在令人讨厌的儿童书籍中。” “嗯哼。”乔治难为情地说。 “嗯……你为什么不试一试呢？”

"Alright," said Mr. Sneedly, rolling his eyes and smirking. He quickly switched the batteries around and powered up the machine. "But I'm only doing this to prove a point to you kids: It's not gonna work. No way. Not in a million years. And anybody who thinks it might is a complete idiot. It goes against all the popular laws of logic and science." He aimed the newly reconfigured Combine-O-Tron 2000 at his son and fired.

“好吧，”史尼德先生说，翻白眼，傻笑着。 他迅速更换电池，给机器上了电。 “但我这么做只是为了向你们这些孩子证明一点：这行不通。 不可能。一百万年也不会。 任何认为它可能的人都是彻头彻尾的白痴。 它违背了所有流行的逻辑和科学定律。” 他把新改装的combo - o - tron 2000对准儿子开了枪。
