10 The Magical Interweb!

10. THE MAGICAL INTERWEB! Matilda and the sea hags went to the Dull-on-Sea Library next. It offered free Internet, which was an important part of Matilda's plan. But first she had to teach the sea hags how to use a computer.

10. 神奇的互联网！玛蒂尔达和海妖们接着去了海边的无趣图书馆。 它提供免费互联网，这是玛蒂尔达计划的重要组成部分。 但首先她得教海妖们如何使用电脑。

Call the cursed cat! A mouse! A mouse! Chase the vermin from this house! Shhhh!

叫那只被诅咒的猫！一只老鼠!一只老鼠!把害虫赶出这房子！嘘!

"It's not a real mouse." Matilda said. "It just looks a little bit like a mouse, because it's round and it has a cable that resembles a tail." "OH," said the hags all together. "It's a real mouse now!" said Pipweed with a flash of her wand. Matilda watched what was now a very real mouse scurry off the edge of the desk. It wasn't going well. A few zaps of the wand later and the mouse was back on the desk, made of plastic and attached to the computer. Weirdly, it did still have ears. Matilda decided to jump to the next step. Now that the sea hags had opened a bank account, they could buy things

“这不是一只真正的老鼠。”玛蒂尔达说。 “它看起来有点像老鼠，因为它是圆的，有一条像尾巴的电缆。” “哦，”女巫们异口同声地说。 “现在它是一只真正的老鼠了！”皮普weed挥舞着魔杖说。 玛蒂尔达看着一只现在是真的老鼠从桌子边上窜了出来。 事情进展得并不顺利。魔杖轻击几下，鼠标就回到了桌子上，是塑料做的，固定在电脑上。 奇怪的是，它确实还有耳朵。 玛蒂尔达决定进行下一步。 既然海妖们已经开了一个银行账户，他们就可以买东西了

online. Matilda clicked open a web browser and, for added effect, spun around on her chair, arms wide, which made the three hags jump. "Ta-da!" cried Matilda, pointing to the screen. Maerl pulled out her wand in defense. "Put that away!" said Matilda. "And stand back. Now I will show you my magic! This magic is so potent, I can make all that you desire appear at your door!" "OOOOOOH!" said the sea hags. "You can find the ship of your dreams! A beautiful hat!

网上。玛蒂尔达点击打开了一个网页浏览器，为了增加效果，她在椅子上转了个圈，双臂张开，这让三个母夜叉跳了起来。 “哒——哒！”玛蒂尔达指着屏幕喊道。 梅尔抽出魔杖自卫。 “把它收起来！”玛蒂尔达说。 “往后站。现在我要给你展示我的魔法！这个魔法是如此强大，我可以让你想要的一切出现在你的门口！”“呜——呜！”海妖说。 “你可以找到你梦想中的船！”一顶漂亮的帽子！

The rarest of flags! And people will come from afar and bring these things to Hag's Head House!" bellowed Matilda. "I call this the MAGICAL INTERWEB! Behold its power!" "Shhh!" said the librarian. Matilda searched for "ship-in-a- bottle," and a beautiful ship popped up on the screen. It wasn't in a bottle, but it was a very impressive model, and she was sure the hags would have something to put it in. The sea hags moved closer, and Dabberlocks pointed her wand. "A ship! A ship!" she cried. "And only three hundred and ninety- nine pounds!" said Matilda, hastily keying

最稀有的旗帜！人们会从远方来，把这些东西带到海格的总院！”玛蒂尔达吼道。 “我把这叫做魔法互联网！”看看它的威力吧！”“嘘！”图书管理员说。 玛蒂尔达搜索“瓶中船”，屏幕上出现了一艘漂亮的船。 它不是装在瓶子里的，但它是一个非常令人印象深刻的模型，她相信母夜叉会有东西装它。 海妖们走近了，达伯洛克用魔杖一指。 “一艘船!一艘船！”她喊道。 “只有三百九十九英镑！”玛蒂尔达说着，急忙打了个键盘

in the sea hags' bank details and making sure she selected next-day delivery. Matilda repeated her magic for the other two sisters and had soon ordered a ship, a Jolly Roger, and a truly magnificent hat. She printed receipts for the sea hags with pictures of each purchase, and they clung to their printouts, jabbering excitedly. An elderly man next to them, who had overheard Matilda's "magic," said, "Can you get me a mermaid?" "Shhh!" said the librarian. Outside the library, the hags seemed unhappy.

在海巫婆的银行详细信息，并确保她选择第二天交货。 玛蒂尔达向另外两个姐妹重复了她的魔法，并很快订购了一艘船，一艘海盗船和一顶真正华丽的帽子。 她为海妖们打印了收据，并附上了每次购买的照片，他们紧紧抓住打印出来的收据，兴奋地叽叽喳喳地说着。 他们旁边的一位老人无意中听到了玛蒂尔达的“魔法”，他说：“你能给我弄一条美人鱼吗？”“嘘！”图书管理员说。 在图书馆外面，老巫婆们似乎很不高兴。
