4. Bad Sulu

CHAPTER 4 BAD SULU Sulu didn't seem to know that he had just undergone a groundbreaking transformation. He didn't act any different. He just wandered across the top of the plastic rolling cart sniffing everything around him, only stopping occasionally to scratch his ears or rub his whiskers. But poor Sulu was in for a big surprise. "Sulu," said Melvin, "I am your commander, and you will obey my orders. I want you to demonstrate your new powers for the class. Do a super-bionic jump across the room." Sulu did not respond.

苏禄似乎并不知道他刚刚经历了一次突破性的转变。 他的行为没有任何不同。 他只是在塑料推车的顶部徘徊，嗅着周围的一切，只是偶尔停下来搔搔耳朵或揉揉胡须。 但是可怜的苏鲁却大吃一惊。 “苏鲁，”梅尔文说，“我是你的指挥官，你必须服从我的命令。 我想让你在班上展示一下你的新能力。 在房间里做一个超级仿生跳跃。” 苏鲁没有回应。

"Sulu!" said Melvin sternly. "Crush that plastic rolling cart in your bare paws!" Sulu did not respond. "SULU!" Melvin shouted. "Go outside, pick up a car, and throw it across the parking lot!" Sulu did not respond. Finally, Melvin reached into his book bag and took out a red Ping-Pong paddle he had designed especially for this occasion. "Sulu," he said angrily, "do as I say, or you're going to get a good spanking!"

“苏鲁！”梅尔文严厉地说。 “用你的光爪子踩烂那辆塑料推车！”苏鲁没有回应。 “苏禄人!”梅尔文喊道。“到外面去，挑一辆车，然后把它扔到停车场那头！”苏鲁没有回应。 最后，梅尔文把手伸进书包，拿出了一个他专门为这次活动设计的红色乒乓球拍。 “苏鲁，”他生气地说，“照我说的做，否则你就要好好挨一顿屁股了！”

This time, Sulu did respond. When he saw the Ping-Pong paddle he became very frightened, and his little hamster instincts took over. Sulu jumped into the air, grabbed the Ping-Pong paddle in his right paw, and then yanked Melvin onto the plastic rolling cart with his left paw. The children finally stopped thinking about ketchup packets and toilets for a moment and settled in to watch the show.

这一次，苏鲁确实做出了回应。 当他看到乒乓球拍时，他变得非常害怕，他的小仓鼠本能占据了他的位置。 苏鲁跳了起来，用右爪抓住乒乓球拍，然后用左爪把梅尔文拽到塑料推车上。 孩子们终于暂时不去想番茄酱包和厕所了，而是坐下来看节目。
