4 Off the Wall

CHAPTER 4 OFF THE WALL HUBIE DON'T BE A BOOBY, VOTE FOR HUBIE! I'm not a great artist, but I can draw good dinosaurs. So I draw a T-Rex on five posters and print out my slogan. Then Eric and I tape them up in the hall—next to Doris's post- ers. Doris even has one up in the boys' bathroom. Now, that's dirty politics. Someone's a traitor.

第四章出格胡比别傻了，投胡比一票吧！我不是一个伟大的艺术家，但我可以画好的恐龙。 所以我在五张海报上画了一只霸王龙，并打印出了我的口号。 然后埃里克和我把它们贴在大厅里——就在多丽丝的海报旁边。 多丽丝甚至在男厕所里也有一个。 这就是肮脏的政治。 有人是叛徒。

So I sneak into the girls' bathroom and put up a poster. Great causes take great risks. If I get caught, it could ruin my political career. I can see it now. I am run- ning for President of the United States. I'm ahead in the polls.

所以我溜进女厕所，贴了张海报。 伟大的事业要冒很大的风险。 如果我被抓住，可能会毁了我的政治生涯。 我现在看到了。我正在竞选美国总统。 我在民意调查中领先。

Then the story of how I snuck into the girls' bathroom is leaked. I'm all washed up in politics. My campaign stalls. My career goes down the drain. I'll never be flushed with victory. Hey, their bathroom looks just like ours—what's the big deal?

然后我溜进女厕所的故事就被泄露了。 我对政治已经厌倦了。 我的竞选停滞不前。我的事业完蛋了。 我永远不会因为胜利而脸红。 嘿，他们的浴室看起来和我们的一模一样，有什么大不了的？
