5. The Unveiling

CHAPTER 5 THE UNVEILING One brisk evening in late October, the entire prison was yawning with excitement. The prisoners had all gathered in the bleachers under a clear, moonlit sky, as the prison band played a slow, reverent, and deeply moving rendition of "Whoomp! (There It Is)." After everyone dried their eyes, Warden Gordon Bordon Schmorden stepped onto the stage to congratulate himself. He proudly bragged about his great humility, confessed his intense hatred of intolerant people, and spoke for hours about his legendary brevity.

十月底一个清爽的晚上，整个监狱都兴奋得打哈欠。 月光皎洁的天空下，囚犯们都聚集在露天看台上，监狱乐队演奏着缓慢、虔诚而感人的《呜呜！》（There Is）。” 在大家擦干眼泪后，典狱长戈登·波登·施莫登走上舞台祝贺自己。 他骄傲地吹嘘自己的谦逊，承认自己对偏执的人深恶痛绝，还滔滔不绝地讲了几个小时他那传奇般的简洁。

Then the moment of truth arrived. Tippy Tinkletrousers's statue was finally ready to be shown to the world. With great theatrical flair, Tippy proudly strutted out to the courtyard and grabbed hold of the giant green tarp. "Gentlemen and gentlemen," he announced. "It gives me great pleasure to get the heck out of here!" Tippy pulled on the tarp and revealed his creation.

关键时刻到了。 Tippy Tinkletrousers的雕像终于准备好向世界展示了。 蒂比带着非凡的戏剧天赋，骄傲地大摇大摆地走到院子里，抓住那块巨大的绿色篷布。 “先生们，先生们，”他宣布。 “能离开这个鬼地方，我真是太高兴了！”提比拉上防水布，露出了他的作品。

"Heu!" shouted Warden Gordon Bordon Schmorden. "That statue doesn't have a head!" "It's not a statue!" yelled Tippy, as he climbed a tall ladder up to the cockpit on top. "It's a giant Robo-Suit! And after I escape from this horrible prison, I'm going to put an end to that nonsensical nuisance, Captain Underpants!"

“嘿！”典狱长戈登·波登·施莫登喊道。 “那座雕像没有头！”“这不是一座雕像！”蒂皮一边爬上高高的梯子，一边喊道。 “这是一件巨大的机器人服！”等我从这个可怕的监狱里逃出来以后，我要消灭那个可笑的讨厌鬼，内裤船长！”

Tippy wiggled into the tiny cockpit and started up the engines. Suddenly, the colossal contraption came to life. Its mighty chest heaved as its gigantic, gorilla-like arms swayed threateningly. "SOUND THE ALARMS!" screamed Warden Schmorden. "STOP THAT GUY!"

蒂比扭动着身子走进狭小的驾驶舱，启动了引擎。 突然，这个巨大的装置活了起来。 它那强壮的胸膛起伏着，它那大猩猩般的巨臂威吓地摆动着。 “拉响警报！”施莫登监狱长尖叫道。 “拦住那个家伙！”

Armed guards ran in every direction while sirens wailed and prisoners screamed for their lives. Massive searchlights swept across the sky as the metallic behemoth took its first thunderous steps toward freedom.

全副武装的警卫向四面八方跑去，警笛呼啸着，囚犯们尖叫着逃命。 巨大的探照灯扫过天空，金属巨兽迈出了走向自由的第一步。

Suddenly, Tippy stopped and thought for a moment. "Hey! I know where I saw that guy before!" he said. Tippy searched the crowds of panicking prisoners until he found the one he was looking for. The giant hand of Tippy's Robo-Suit reached down and plucked Mr. Krupp from the crowd. "I KNEW I'd recognized you from somewhere!" said Tippy. "You're the principal of that school I shrank last year!" "Oh, yeeeaaaah!" said Mr. Krupp. "I remember you now! You're that Professor Poopupants guy." "MY NAME IS NOT PROFESSOR POOPYPANTS!" screamed the angry villain. "That was a ridiculous name! So I changed it to Tippy Tinkletrousers!" "Gee, that's a lot better!" said Mr. Krupp sarcastically.

突然，提比停了下来，想了一会儿。 “嘿!我知道我以前在哪儿见过那家伙！”他说。 提比在一群惊慌失措的囚犯中搜寻，直到找到了他要找的人。 蒂比的机器人战衣伸出大手，把克虏伯从人群中拉了出来。 “我就知道我在什么地方见过你！”蒂比说。 “你就是我去年逃学的那所学校的校长！”“哦，是的！”克虏伯先生说。 “我现在想起来你了！”你就是那个便便教授。” “我的名字不是便便教授！”那个愤怒的恶棍尖叫道。 “这名字太可笑了！”所以我把它改成了提比·丁克尔裤子！”“哎呀，好多了！”克虏伯先生讽刺地说。
