6 The Sea Hags

6. THE SEA HAGS "Oh, we is lucky old sea hags!" said the first hag. "Years it has been, no pirates we've seen." "I like this little one," said the second. "She looks plump and tasty!" "Can we make her into stew?" said the third, licking her lips.

6. “哦，我们这些老海妖真幸运！”第一个海妖说。 “这么多年了，我们没见过海盗。” “我喜欢这个小家伙，”第二个说。 “她看起来又肥又好吃！”“我们能把她做成炖菜吗？”第三只猫舔着嘴唇说。

Matilda's foot was in a puddle, and her toes were going numb. She tried shifting her weight and had to put her hand out to balance, but it came to rest on something that didn't feel at all like rock. It was smooth and cold. She turned and saw a skull among a pile of bones. "Eww!" she cried. The hags whipped around. Matilda heard their feet shuffling closer across the sand.

玛蒂尔达的脚浸在水坑里，脚趾麻木了。 她试着改变自己的体重，不得不伸出手来保持平衡，但它停在了一个感觉一点也不像岩石的东西上。 天气又平又冷。她转过身来，在一堆骨头中看到一个头骨。 “哎呀！”她叫道。母夜叉们转过身来。 玛蒂尔达听到他们的脚步声在沙地上慢慢靠近。

Do we have a visitor? Another pirate, perhaps? Come out, Mr. Pirate! Come out to play! Oh, we are lucky girls today! Do you not like our lovely gold? Did you manage to break the hold? Cowering in the rocks won't help, A rat among the bones and kelp...

我们有访客吗？也许是另一个海盗？ 出来吧，海盗先生！出来玩吧！哦，我们今天是幸运的女孩！你不喜欢我们可爱的金子吗？ 你设法挣脱束缚了吗？ 躲在岩石里是没有用的，一只老鼠躲在骨头和海带里……

A withered hand wrenched Matilda from her hiding place. The next moment, she was engulfed in shadow as three figures surrounded her. Three long, wart- encrusted noses twitched, then sniffed at her. Six beady eyes glared at her. Behind the eyes, there were three great clouds of hair. Matilda was terrified. "She doesn't look like she came from the sea. Looks like a lubber, between you, you, and me!" "Take her up to the house we could..." "Keep her!" "Keep her!" "Keep her, we should!"

一只干枯的手把玛蒂尔达从她的藏身之处拽了出来。 下一刻，她被三个人影包围在阴影中。 三个长着疣子的长鼻子抽动了一下，然后朝她嗅了嗅。 六只炯炯有神的眼睛瞪着她。 眼睛后面，有三团浓密的头发。 玛蒂尔达吓坏了。“她看起来不像从海里来的。 在你、你和我之间说，他看起来像个笨蛋！”“把她带到我们可以……” “让她!”“让她!”“我们应该留下她！”

Matilda tried to speak, but no words came out. She just wanted to go home. She turned to look at the Jolley-Rogers. All their eyes were looking back at her. But they couldn't help her. And Jim wouldn't be able to come back into the cave.

玛蒂尔达想说话，但说不出话来。 她只想回家。 她转过身来看着乔利-罗杰斯。 他们所有的眼睛都在回头看着她。 但他们帮不了她。 吉姆就回不了山洞了。

Suddenly, with an almighty "WOOF!" Bones sprang from behind the rocks, flying toward the hags, fierce and determined. But in midair he froze, floating in a fizzing ball of light. The second hag held a wand in her outstretched hand, green light streaming from its tip, and as she moved it, Bones moved too. "Look at his tongue! His tongue! His tongue!

突然，一声巨大的“汪”！骨头从岩石后面跳了出来，朝母夜叉飞去，凶狠而坚定。 但在半空中，他僵住了，漂浮在一个嘶嘶作响的光球上。 第二个妖婆伸出手，手里拿着一根魔杖，魔杖的尖端闪烁着绿光，她一动魔杖，骨头也跟着动了起来。 “看他的舌头！”他的舌头!他的舌头!
