13. The Detention

CHAPTER 13 THE DETENTION "I don't want you guys messing with me ever again!" George said firmly, as the bullies squealed in high-pitched terror. "And that yellow-haired kid is off-limits, too! You mess with us, you answer to The TIE!" George snapped his tie in the air one last time, causing the four sobbing sixth graders to shriek like hyenas. "Uh-Uh-Uncle BENNY!" Kipper wailed through his tears.

第十三章关禁闭“我不希望你们再来惹我！”乔治坚定地说，恶霸们惊恐地尖叫起来。 “那个黄头发的孩子也不能进！”你敢惹我们，你就得接受TIE的惩罚！”乔治最后一次在空中啪地一声打领带，导致四个啜泣的六年级学生像鬣狗一样尖叫起来。 “Uh-Uh-Uncle本尼!”基珀流着眼泪哭了起来。

Suddenly, Mr. Krupp came storming out of the building. "WHAT'S GOING ON OUT HERE?" he screamed. "That little kid beat us up!" Kipper sobbed. "Oh, he DID, did he?" yelled Mr. Krupp, as he grabbed George by his arm. "I don't take kindly to bullies in this school!" "They're the bullies!" cried Harold, pointing at Kipper and his three frightened friends. "Those guys were just about to beat that kid up... He was just defending himself!" Mr. Krupp reached over and grabbed Harold by his arm. "I don't like LIARS, either!" he growled.

突然，克虏伯先生冲出大楼。 “这里发生了什么事？”他尖叫道。 “那个小孩把我们打了一顿！”腌鱼抽泣着。 “哦，他说了，是吗？”克虏伯先生一边喊一边抓住乔治的胳膊。 “我不喜欢这个学校里的恶霸！”“他们是恶霸！”哈罗德指着基珀和他三个吓坏了的朋友叫道。 “那些家伙正要揍那个孩子…… 他只是在自卫！”克虏伯先生伸手抓住哈罗德的胳膊。 “我也不喜欢说谎者！”他咆哮道。

Mr. Krupp yanked both boys to the detention room. "You two troublemakers are going to stay here until you've learned your lesson!" he shouted, then slammed the door. "So much for a good first impression," said George. The two boys sat in silence for several minutes. Harold opened his backpack and took out a notebook and the pointy half of one of his broken pencils. He started to draw. "What grade are you in?" asked George. "Kindergarten," said Harold. "Me, too," said George. "I'm new. We just moved here three days ago."

克虏伯先生把两个男孩都拖进了拘留室。 “你们两个捣蛋鬼要呆在这儿，直到你们得到教训！”他喊道，然后砰地关上了门。 “良好的第一印象就到此为止了，”乔治说。 两个男孩沉默地坐了几分钟。 哈罗德打开背包，拿出一本笔记本和一支断铅笔的尖头。 他开始画画。“你读几年级？”乔治问。 “幼儿园。”哈罗德说。 “我也是。”乔治说。“我新。 我们三天前才搬到这里。”

"Oh," said Harold. "I think you live next door to my house." "Really?" said George. George glanced over and noticed that Harold was drawing a giant monster. "Hey, you're a good drawer," George said. "Thanks," said Harold. George watched as Harold drew a flying hero zapping the monster with a laser beam. "Cool!" said George, pointing to the superhero. "What's that guy's name?" Harold shrugged. "He doesn't have a name." "How come?" asked George. Harold shrugged again. "It's just a picture," he said. "It's not really a story." "Oh," said George.

“哦。”哈罗德说。“我想你就住在我家隔壁。” “真的吗？”乔治说。乔治瞥了一眼，发现哈罗德正在画一个巨大的怪物。 “嘿，你是个好画家，”乔治说。 “谢谢。”哈罗德说。乔治看着哈罗德画出一个会飞的英雄用激光束打怪物。 “酷！”乔治指着超级英雄说。 “那家伙叫什么名字？”哈罗德耸耸肩。 “他没有名字。”“为什么？”乔治问。 哈罗德又耸了耸肩。“这只是一张照片，”他说。 “这不是一个真正的故事。” “哦，”乔治说。

George watched intently as Harold finished his picture. When he was done, Harold folded the page back and started drawing a new picture on the next page. "Um... do you want to draw, too?" Harold asked. "I have some more pencils. They're broken, but the pointy parts still work OK." "No," said George. "I can't draw good. I'm a writer." "Oh," said Harold. He tore some fresh pages out from the back of his notebook and handed them to George. "Here. You can write on these if you want."

乔治专心地看着哈罗德画完他的画。 画完后，哈罗德把那一页折起来，开始在下一页画一幅新的画。 “嗯……你也想画画吗？”哈罗德要求。 “我还有一些铅笔。 它们坏了，但尖头的部分还能用。” “不，”乔治说。“我画得不好。 我是个作家。”“哦。”哈罗德说。 他从笔记本的背面撕下几页新纸，递给乔治。 “在这里。如果你想的话，你可以在上面写。”

George took the papers and thought for a long time. Then he wrote The Adventures of Dog Man at the top of the first page. At the bottom he wrote By George and... "Hey, what's your name, kid?" George asked. "Harold," said Harold. George wrote Harold's name down at the bottom. "I'm gonna write a comic book," said George. "You can draw the pictures, OK?" "Umm... OK," said Harold.

乔治拿起报纸，想了很久。 然后他在第一页的顶部写了“狗人的冒险”。 在信的底部，他写道：“乔治和……” “嘿，孩子，你叫什么名字？”乔治问。 “哈罗德。”哈罗德说。乔治把哈罗德的名字写在了下面。 “我要写一本漫画书，”乔治说。 “你可以画画，好吗？”“嗯… 好吧。”哈罗德说。
