5. Strangers in Paradise Lost

CHAPTER 5 STRANGERS IN PARADISE LOST As George and Harold walked down the hallway of their school, they noticed that something seemed wrong. Very wrong. But they couldn't figure out what it was.

第五章失乐园里的陌生人乔治和哈罗德走在学校的走廊上，他们注意到有点不对劲。 非常错误的。但他们不知道那是什么。

Miss Anthrope, the unbelievably crabby school secretary, passed by the boys and smiled kindly. "Why, hello, George and Harold," she said. "It's so good to see you two. Have a wonderful day!" George and Harold looked at her suspiciously. "Ummmm... what just happened?" asked Harold. "I don't know," said George. "But something strange sure is going on."

那位脾气暴躁得令人难以置信的学校秘书Anthrope小姐从男孩们身边走过，和蔼地笑了笑。 “喂，你好，乔治和哈罗德。” “很高兴见到你们俩。 祝你过得愉快！”乔治和哈罗德怀疑地看着她。 “恩……刚才发生了什么事？”哈罗德问。 “我不知道，”乔治说。 “但肯定发生了一些奇怪的事情。”

George and Harold opened their locker and carefully put Crackers and Sulu inside. "Shhhh... They're asleep," said George. "Good," said Harold. "They can take a nap while we get to class."

乔治和哈罗德打开储物柜，小心翼翼地把瓦拉克和苏鲁放了进去。 “嘘…他们睡着了。”乔治说。 “很好。”哈罗德说。“他们可以在我们上课的时候小睡一会儿。”

On the way to their homeroom, George and Harold stopped to switch the letters around on the lunch menu sign.

在回教室的路上，乔治和哈罗德停下来调换了一下午餐菜单上的字母。

But just as they were finishing, their principal, Mr. Krupp, caught them red-handed. "Hey, bubs!" he said. "What are you kids doing out here?"

但就在他们完成的时候，他们的校长克虏伯先生当场抓住了他们。 “嘿，小家伙！”他说。“你们这些孩子在外面干什么？”

"Uh... ummm..." George stammered. "Y'see, we were ummm..." "Please eat my plump, juicy boogers?" said Mr. Krupp, giggling with glee. "That's gotta be the funniest thing I've seen all day! You boys really crack me up! You're hilarious!" Then, with a spring in his step, Mr. Krupp pranced away, whistling a merry tune.

“嗯…嗯…”乔治结结巴巴地说。 “你看，我们当时……”“请吃我肥美多汁的鼻屎吧？”克虏伯先生说着，高兴地咯咯笑着。 “这一定是我今天看到的最有趣的事情了！”你们这些男孩子真让我发笑！你搞笑!”然后，克虏伯先生迈着轻快的步子，吹着轻快的口哨，蹦蹦跳跳地走开了。
