9. Four-to-Six Weeks Later

CHAPTER 9 FOUR TO SIX WEEKS LATER After four to six weeks of backbreaking labor, grueling homework assignments, and humiliating good behavior at school, a package arrived in George's mailbox from the Li'l Wiseguy Novelty Company. It was the 3-D Hypno-Ring.

九、四到六周后经过四至六周的繁重劳动、繁重的家庭作业和丢脸的在校表现后，乔治的邮箱里收到了一个来自小智慧新奇公司的包裹。 这是3d催眠环。

"Hallelujah!" cried George. "It's everything I ever hoped for!" "Let me see, let me see," said Harold. "Don't look directly at it," warned George. "You don't want to get hypnotized, do you?" "Do you really think it will work?" asked Harold. "Do you really think we can amaze our friends, control our enemies, and rule the world just like the ad says?" "It better work," said George. "Or else we just wasted four whole bucks!"

“哈利路亚！”乔治叫道。 “这正是我所希望的！”“让我看看，让我看看。”哈罗德说。 “不要直视它，”乔治警告说。 “你不想被催眠吧？”“你真的认为这有用吗？”哈罗德问。 “你真的认为我们能像广告里说的那样，让我们的朋友惊讶，控制我们的敌人，统治世界吗？”“最好管用，”乔治说。 “不然我们就浪费了整整四块钱！”
