32. Four Years Later

CHAPTER 32 FOUR YEARS LATER Four years later, a giant sphere of blue lightning appeared on what used to be an elementary school football field. Soon, the sphere exploded in a blinding flash of light, leaving Tippy and his gigantic Robo-Pants behind. Tippy peeked out of the zipper and discovered that Earth had been destroyed.

第三十二章四年后四年后，一个巨大的蓝色闪电出现在原来是小学足球场的地方。 很快，球体爆炸了，发出耀眼的闪光，留下了提比和他的巨型机器裤。 提比从拉链里往外偷看，发现地球已经被摧毁了。

He crawled out of his giant Robo-Pants and shuffled through the shattered city, inspecting the chaos. All around him, the landscape was littered with massive moon rocks, skeletal skyscrapers, and torn-up toilets. "What the heck happened here?" Tippy cried. When the morning sun rose above the horizon, Tippy finally saw a sign of life. A little preschooler was walking up a burning boulevard with his mother.

他从巨大的机器裤里爬出来，在破碎的城市里拖着脚步，检查着混乱的景象。 在他周围，到处都是巨大的月球岩石、摩天大楼骨架和被撕碎的厕所。 “这里到底发生了什么？”不安定的哭了。 当清晨的太阳从地平线上升起时，蒂皮终于看到了生命的迹象。 一个学龄前儿童和他的母亲走在燃烧的林荫大道上。

"Hey, kid," yelled Tippy. "What happened here? How did Earth get destroyed?" "Well," said the little boy, "a few weeks ago, some guy in a diaper blew up the moon and tried to take over the world. But a week later, a bunch of Talking Toilets attacked the city and ate him up. Then, a week after that, a spaceship landed on top of the elementary school, and all the kids got turned into giant evil zombie nerds!" "I sure wish you would stop obsessing over such foolish nonsense," the boy's mother said.

“嘿，孩子，”蒂比喊道。“这里发生了什么事？” 地球是怎么毁灭的？”“嗯，”小男孩说，“几个星期前，有个穿着尿布的家伙炸毁了月亮，想要统治世界。 但一周后，一群会说话的厕所袭击了这座城市，把他吃了。 然后，一个星期后，一艘宇宙飞船降落在小学顶上，所有的孩子都变成了巨大的邪恶僵尸书呆子！”“我真希望你不要再纠结于这些愚蠢的废话了，”男孩的母亲说。

"But what about Captain Underpants?" asked Tippy. "Who's that?" said the boy. "He's that fat, bald superhero," said Tippy. "You know, the guy with the underwear and the red cape? What happened to him?" "I've never seen anyone like that," said the little boy.

“那内裤船长呢？”提比问。 “那是谁？”男孩问。 “他就是那个又胖又秃的超级英雄，”蒂皮说。 “你知道吗，就是那个穿内衣、披红斗篷的家伙？” 他怎么了？”“我从来没见过这样的人，”小男孩说。

Suddenly, Tippy realized what a terrible mistake he had made. Somehow he'd changed things in the past, which had resulted in the destruction of both Captain Underpants AND Earth. "I must go back and undo what I did," cried Tippy. "I must go back in time to SAVE Captain Underpants! "Quickly, little boy," screamed Tippy, "tell me everything you know about these zombie nerds who have taken over the world!" "Well," said the little boy, "they're really strong—and they're really powerful!" "Yes, yes," said Tippy. "What else are they?"

突然，提比意识到他犯了一个多么严重的错误。 不知何故，他改变了过去的事情，导致了内裤队长和地球的毁灭。 “我必须回去，把我做的事纠正过来。”蒂比喊道。 “我必须及时回去救内裤船长！”“快点，小男孩，”蒂比尖叫道，“告诉我你所知道的关于这些控制世界的僵尸书呆子的一切！”“嗯，”小男孩说，“他们真的很强壮——他们真的很有力量！”“是的，是的，”蒂皮说。 “还有什么？”

"They're right behind you," said the boy. Tippy turned and looked up. There, standing behind him, were two of the biggest, evilest-looking zombie nerds anyone had ever seen. One of the zombie nerds raised his foot above Tippy's head. "NOOOOO!" screamed Tippy. "You can't kill me! I'm the only chance this world has of ever returning to normal!"

“他们就在你后面，”男孩说。 蒂比转过身，抬起头来。 站在他身后的，是两个前所未见的大块头、长相最邪恶的僵尸呆子。 其中一个僵尸书呆子把脚举过提比的头。 “不行！”蒂比尖叫道。“你不能杀我！”我是这个世界恢复正常的唯一机会！”
