Henry, who was a farmer, and Aunt Em, who was the farmer’s wife.
原为农民的亨利和原为农民妻子的埃姆阿姨.
Their house was small, for the lumber to build it had to be carried by wagon many miles.
他们的房子很小,因为木材建造它 不得不由多英里的马车携带。
There were four walls, a floor, and a roof, which made one room; and this room contained a rusty looking cookstove, a cupboard for the dishes, a table, three or four chairs, and the beds.
有四道墙,一地一地,一地一地,造出一房;而这间房内有生锈的外观烹饪炉,盘子的橱柜,一桌,三四把椅子和床.
Uncle Henry and Aunt Em had a big bed in one corner, and Dorothy a little bed in another corner.
亨利叔叔和姨妈 Em在一角有一个大床,而多萝西在一角有一个小床.
There was no garret at all, and no cellar—except a small hole dug in the ground, called a cyclone cellar, where the family could go in case one of those great whirlwinds arose, mighty enough to crush any building in its path.
除了地上挖出一个叫"旋风地窖"的小洞外,没有地窖,家里人可以去,以防这些巨大的旋风中出现一股来来来来来来来来来去去去去去去去的地窖。
It was reached by a trapdoor in the middle of the floor, from which a ladder led down into the small, dark hole.
它被地上中部的一扇陷阱门所接通,从这道梯子上下入了小而暗的洞.
When Dorothy stood in the doorway and looked around, she could see nothing but the great gray prairie on every side.
当多萝西站在门道上并环顾四周时,她只能看到每一边的伟大灰色草原.
Not a tree nor a house broke the broad sweep of flat country that reached to the edge of the sky in all directions.
没有一棵树或一栋房子打破了对平地国家的广泛扫荡,而平地国家从四面八方到达了天空的边缘.
The sun had baked the plowed land into a gray mass, with little cracks running through it.
太阳把犁地烤成灰质地 有细小的裂缝穿过它
Even the grass was not green, for the sun had burned the tops of the long blades until they were the same gray color to be seen everywhere.
连草也不绿,因为太阳已经把长叶刀的上部烧了,直到它们与所见所闻同为灰色.
Once the house had been painted, but the sun blistered the paint and the rains washed it away, and now the house was as dull and gray as everything else.
有一次房子被涂了,但被太阳打出喷出漆来后被雨水冲走,现在这所房子像其他一切一样枯燥而灰色.
When Aunt Em came there to live she was a young, pretty wife.
当阿姨 Em来过她年轻漂亮的妻子的生活
The sun and wind had changed her, too.
太阳和风也改变了她
They had taken the sparkle from her eyes and left them a sober gray; they had taken the red from her cheeks and lips, and they were gray also.
他们从她的眼睛取出花花花,给他们留下了清醒的灰色;他们从她的脸颊和嘴唇取出红色,他们也是灰色的。
She was thin and gaunt, and never smiled now.
她瘦而胆小, 从来没有笑过现在。
When Dorothy, who was an orphan, first came to her, Aunt Em had been so startled by the child’s laughter that she would scream and press her hand upon her heart whenever Dorothy’s merry voice reached her ears; and she still looked at the little girl with wonder that she could find anything to laugh at.
当作为孤儿的多萝西第一次来到她身边时,埃姆姨妈被孩子的笑声惊呆了,当多萝西的欢乐之声到达她的耳朵时,她会尖叫并用手压在心上;她仍然对这个小女孩着迷地看着她,以为她能找到可以笑的东西.
Uncle Henry never laughed.
亨利叔叔从不笑
He worked hard from morning till night and did not know what joy was.
他从早到晚都努力工作,不知道什么是快乐。
He was gray also, from his long beard to his rough boots, and he looked stern and solemn, and rarely spoke.
他也是灰色的,从他长胡子到粗糙的靴子,他看起来严谨而庄严,很少说话.
It was Toto that made Dorothy laugh, and saved her from growing as gray as her other surroundings.
是托托让多萝西笑了起来,使她免于了与其他周围环境一样的灰色.
Toto was not gray; he was a little black dog, with long silky hair and small black eyes that twinkled merrily on either side of his f u n ny, wee nose.
Toto不是灰色的;他是一只小黑狗,有细长的丝状发型和小黑眼睛,在他的小鼻子(fu n ny)的两边轻轻地闪烁出欢快的花花.
Toto played all day long, and Dorothy played with him, and loved him dearly.
托多玩了一整天,多萝西也和他一起玩,并且非常爱他.
Today, however, they were not playing.
然而,今天,他们没有在玩。
Uncle Henry sat upon the doorstep and looked anxiously at the sky, which was even grayer than usual.
亨利叔叔坐在门阶上,焦急地看着天空,天空比平时更灰.
Dorothy stood in the door with Toto in her arms, and looked at the sky too.
多萝西站在门上,怀着托托,也看着天空.
Aunt Em was washing the dishes.
Em阿姨在洗盘子
From the far north they heard a low wail of the wind, and Uncle Henry and Dorothy could see where the long grass bowed in waves before the coming storm.
从遥远的北方,他们听到一股低低的叫声,而亨利叔叔和多萝西可以看到长草在来袭的风暴来袭前被波浪所鞠躬的地方.
There now came a sharp whistling in the air from the south, and as they turned their eyes that way they saw ripples in the grass coming from that direction also.
现在从南方向空中吹出一阵尖锐的口哨, 当他们转出眼睛时, 他们看到草地上也从那个方向发出波纹。
Suddenly Uncle Henry stood up.
突然间,叔叔 亨利站起来了
“There’s a cyclone coming, Em,” he called to his wife.
Em, 他打电话给他妻子,
“I’ll go look after the stock.”

Then he ran toward the sheds where the cows and horses were kept.
然后他跑到牛和马被收留的棚子

快,多萝西!
she screamed.

“Run for the cellar!”
"跑去地窖!"
Toto jumped out of Dorothy’s arms and hid under the bed, and the girl started to get him.
Toto从多萝西的怀里跳出并躲在床下,女孩开始抓他.
Aunt Em, badly frightened, threw open the trapdoor in the floor and climbed down the ladder into the small, dark hole.
埃姆姨妈非常害怕,把陷阱门扔到地上,从梯子上爬入了小而暗的洞口.
Dorothy caught Toto at last and started to follow her aunt.
桃乐丝被抓了 最终多多开始跟随她姨妈.
When she was halfway across the room there came a great shriek from the wind, and the house shook so hard that she lost her footing and sat down suddenly upon the floor.
当她走过半个房间时,从风中走来一阵巨大的叫声,屋里摇起起一阵来,她失去了站立姿势,突然就坐在地上.
Then a strange thing happened.
然后发生了一件奇怪的事情。
The house whirled around two or three times and rose slowly through the air.
房子绕来绕去两到三次并缓慢地从空中升起.
Dorothy felt as if she were going up in a balloon.
桃乐西觉得她好像在气球里上楼
The north and south winds met where the house stood, and made it the exact center of the cyclone.
南北向风会到房子所站的位置,并使其成为气旋的确切中心.
In the middle of a cyclone the air is generally still, but the great pressure of the wind on every side of the house raised it up higher and higher, until it was at the very top of the cyclone; and there it remained and was carried miles and miles away as easily as you could carry a feather.
气旋正中,空气一般都保持平稳,但屋内每一边的风力所施加的巨大压力使气旋升起,一直到气旋最上方;而气旋还停留在那里并随身携带了数英里和数英里外去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去
It was very dark, and the wind howled horribly around her, but Dorothy found she was riding quite easily.
当时天气很暗,被风吹得可怕地围绕她,但多萝西发现她骑马相当轻松.
After the first few whirls around, and one other time when the house tipped badly, she felt as if she were being rocked gently, like a baby in a cradle.
在最初的几回旋转之后, 以及另一回当房子倾泻不畅时, 她感觉好像被轻轻地摇晃, 像婴儿在摇篮。
Toto did not like it.
东藤不喜欢
He ran about the room, now here, now there, barking loudly; but Dorothy sat quite still on the floor and waited to see what would happen.
他跑在房间里,现在在这里,现在在那里,大声地叫;但多萝西仍然坐在地上,等待着看到会发生什么。
Once Toto got too near the open trapdoor, and fell in; and at first the little girl thought she had lost him.
有一次托多太靠近了露天的陷阱门,就倒入了;起初小女孩以为她已经失去了他.
But soon she saw one of his ears sticking up through the hole, for the strong pressure of the air was keeping him up so that he could not fall.
但很快她看见他的一个耳朵站出洞来,因为空气的强大压力使他无法倒下.
She crept to the hole, caught Toto by the ear, and dragged him into the room again, afterward closing the trapdoor so that no more accidents could happen.
她哭到洞口,把托托抓住了耳朵,再将他拖入房间,后关上陷阱门,以免再出事.
Hour after hour passed away, and slowly Dorothy got over her fright; but she felt quite lonely, and the wind shrieked so loudly all about her that she nearly became deaf.
一小时后就去世了,而慢慢地多萝西克服了她的恐惧;但她感到相当孤独,而被风吹得声名狼藉地震撼着她,她几乎变成了聋子.
At first she had wondered if she would be dashed to pieces when the house fell again; but as the hours passed and nothing terrible happened, she stopped worrying and resolved to wait calmly and see what the future would bring.
起初,她不知道当房子又倒下时,她是否会被粉碎;但随着时间的流逝,没有发生什么可怕的事,她不再担心,决心冷静地等待,看看未来会带来什么。
At last she crawled over the swaying floor to her bed, and lay down upon it; and Toto followed and lay down beside her.
她终于爬上摇摆的地来,躺到床上去;托多跟随她并躺在她旁边。
In spite of the swaying of the house and the wailing of the wind, Dorothy soon closed her eyes and fell fast asleep.
尽管屋内摇摆起来,并狂叫起起来,多萝西很快就闭上了眼睛并迅速入睡.
She was awakened by a shock, so sudden and severe that if Dorothy had not been lying on the soft bed she might have been hurt.
她被惊吓醒了 突然又严重 如果桃乐西没有躺在软床上 她可能受伤了
As it was, the jar made her catch her breath and wonder what had happened; and Toto put his cold little nose into her face and whined dismally.
虽然如此,罐子使她喘了口气并想知道发生了什么;而托多将他冷冰冰的小鼻子放入她脸上并发牢骚.
Dorothy sat up and noticed that the house was not moving; nor was it dark, for the bright sunshine came in at the window, flooding the little room.
多萝西坐了起来,注意到这所房子不动;它也不黑,因为明亮的阳光从窗户进来,淹没了小房间.
She sprang from her bed and with Toto at her heels ran and opened the door.
她从床上走来,跟托多一起跑去,打开了门。
The little girl gave a cry of amazement and looked about her, her eyes growing bigger and bigger at the wonderful sights she saw.
小女孩惊叹地哭泣着,看着她,她的眼睛在她所看到的美妙景象中变得越来越大.
The cyclone had set the house down very gently—for a cyclone—in the midst of a country of marvelous beauty.
气旋非常温和地把房子倒下,为的是气旋,在一个美丽的国家中。
There were lovely patches of greensward all about, with stately trees bearing rich and luscious fruits.
绿地上到处都是可爱的地段 有茂盛而优雅的树木
Banks of gorgeous flowers were on every hand, and birds with rare and brilliant plumage sang and fluttered in the trees and bushes.
每一只手都有一束花 有稀有和辉煌的羽毛的鸟儿在树上和灌木丛中唱歌和发花
A little way off was a small brook, rushing and sparkling along between green banks, and murmuring in a voice very grateful to a little girl who had lived so long on the dry, gray prairies.
一个小溪来去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去 去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去 去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去
While she stood looking eagerly at the strange and beautiful sights, she noticed coming toward her a group of the queerest people she had ever seen.
当她站着热心地看着这些奇异而美丽的景色时,她注意到一群她见过的最古怪的人来到她身边。
They were not as big as the grown folk she had always been used to; but neither were they very small.
它们不像她一直习惯的成年人那么大,但也不是很小。
In fact, they seemed about as tall as Dorothy, who was a well-grown child for her age, although they were, so far as looks go, many years older.
事实上,他们似乎和多萝西一样高,她这个年纪已经长大了,尽管从外表来看,他们已经大了好几岁。
Three were men and one a woman, and all were oddly dressed.
三个是男人 一个是女人 都穿得很奇怪
They wore round hats that rose to a small point a foot above their heads, with little bells around the brims that tinkled sweetly as they moved.
他们戴着圆形的帽子,在头顶一英尺高的地方升到很小的地步,在他们移动时轻轻地轻轻地打出小铃.
The hats of the men were blue; the little woman’s hat was white, and she wore a white gown that hung in pleats from her shoulders.
男人的帽子是蓝色的;小女人的帽子是白色的,她穿着从肩膀上吊起的白色长袍。
Over it were sprinkled little stars that glistened in the sun like diamonds.
上面喷出一些小星星 像钻石一样闪耀在阳光下
The men were dressed in blue, of the same shade as their hats, and wore well-polished boots with a deep roll of blue at the tops.
男人们穿着蓝色的服装,与帽子一样有同樣的遮荫,并穿好穿的靴子上方有一卷深蓝色.
The men, Dorothy thought, were about as old as Uncle Henry, for two of them had beards.
这些人,多萝西认为, 大约与亨利叔叔一样大, 因为其中两人有胡子。
But the little woman was doubtless much older.
但那个小女人无疑年纪大得多了
Her face was covered with wrinkles, her hair was nearly white, and she walked rather stiffly.
她的脸被皱纹遮住,头发几乎是白色的,她走得相当僵硬.
When these people drew near the house where Dorothy was standing in the doorway, they paused and whispered among themselves, as if afraid to come farther.
当这些人走近多萝西站在门道上的房子时,他们停顿了下来,在自己之间悄悄地说出话来,好像害怕走得更远.
But the little old woman walked up to Dorothy, made a low bow, and said, in a sweet voice: “You are welcome, most noble Sorceress, to the land of the Munchkins.
但那个小老妇人走上多萝西来,低低地下弓,用甜美的声音说道: “最崇高的女巫们,欢迎你们来到芒奇金人的土地。
We are so grateful to you for having killed the Wicked Witch of the East, and for setting our people free from bondage.”
我们非常感谢你杀死了东方的邪恶女巫,使我们的人民免于被奴役。 “
Dorothy listened to this speech with wonder.
桃乐西惊奇地听了这篇演讲.
What could the little woman possibly mean by calling her a sorceress, and saying she had killed the Wicked Witch of the East?
小女人称她为巫师 说她杀了东方的邪恶女巫 可能意味着什么?
Dorothy was an innocent, harmless little girl, who had been carried by a cyclone many miles from home; and she had never killed anything in all her life.
多萝西是一个无辜的,无害的小女孩,她被离家多英里的气旋所携带;她一生中从未杀死过任何东西.
But the little woman evidently expected her to answer; so Dorothy said, with hesitation, “You are very kind, but there must be some mistake.
但是,这个小女人显然期望她回答;因此多萝西犹豫地说,“你非常善良,但一定有些错误。
I have not killed anything.”
我什么都没杀过 “
“Your house did, anyway,” replied the little old woman, with a laugh, “and that is the same thing.
“不管怎样,你的房子还是这样”,小老妇人笑道:“这是同样的事情。
See!”
看见了!"
she continued, pointing to the corner of the house.
她继续指着房子的角落
“There are her two feet, still sticking out from under a block of wood.”
“还有她的两只脚,仍然从一块木板下站出。 “
Dorothy looked, and gave a little cry of fright.
多萝西看了一眼 吓了一跳
There, indeed, just under the corner of the great beam the house rested on, two feet were sticking out, shod in silver shoes with pointed toes.
实际上,就在大梁下方, 房子就靠了两只脚出山了, 穿着有指尖脚趾的银鞋。
“Oh, dear!
" 哦,亲爱的!
Oh, dear!”
亲爱的!"
cried Dorothy, clasping her hands together in dismay.
哭了多萝西 惊慌失措地将她双手合在一起
“The house must have fallen on her.
“这所房子一定落在她身上。
Whatever shall we do?”
我们该怎么办? “
“There is nothing to be done,” said the little woman calmly.
这位小女子冷静地说,“没有什么可做的。”
“But who was she?”
“但她是谁? “
asked Dorothy.
问多萝西。
“She was the Wicked Witch of the East, as I said,” answered the little woman.
“正如我所说,她是东方的邪恶女巫。”
“She has held all the Munchkins in bondage for many years, making them slave for her night and day.
“她多年来一直使所有蒙奇金人沦为奴隶,使他们日以继夜地成为奴隶。
Now they are all set free, and are grateful to you for the favor.”
现在他们都自由了 感谢你的帮助 “
“Who are the Munchkins?”
“谁是蒙奇金人? “
inquired Dorothy.
问多萝西。
“They are the people who live in this land of the East where the Wicked Witch ruled.”
“他们是生活在巫师统治的东方土地上的人民。 “
“ Are you a Munchkin?”
“...... 你是蒙克金人吗? “
asked Dorothy.
问多萝西。
“No, but I am their friend, although I live in the land of the North.
“没有,但我是他们的朋友,但我住在北方。
When they saw the Witch of the East was dead the Munchkins sent a swift messenger to me, and I came at once.
当他们看到东方女巫死了时 蒙克金家迅速派了个信使给我 我马上来了
I am the Witch of the North.”
我是北方巫师 “
“Oh, gracious!”
"哦,天呐!"
cried Dorothy.
哭了多萝西。
“ Are you a real witch?”
“...... 你是真正的女巫吗? “
“Yes, indeed,” answered the little woman.
“是的,”小女子回答说。
“But I am a good witch, and the people love me.
“但我是一个好女巫,人民爱我。
I am not as powerful as the Wicked Witch was who ruled here, or I should have set the people free myself.”
我不像这里统治的邪恶女巫那么强大 或者我应该让人民自由自己 “
“But I thought all witches were wicked,” said the girl, who was half frightened at facing a real witch.
“但我觉得所有女巫都是邪恶的,”这位女孩说,她对面对一个真正的女巫半惊半恐。
“Oh, no, that is a great mistake.
“不,这是一个大错误。
There were only four witches in all the Land of Oz, and two of them, those who live in the North and the South, are good witches.
整个奥兹地上只有四个女巫,其中两个是居住在南北方的好女巫.
I know this is true, for I am one of them myself, and cannot be mistaken.
我知道这是真的,因为我是他们中的一员,不能搞错。
Those who dwelt in the East and the West were, indeed, wicked witches; but now that you have killed one of them, there is but one Wicked Witch in all the Land of Oz—the one who lives in the West.”
在东方和西方居住的人,确是邪恶的女巫;现在你们杀了他们中的一个人,在奥兹全地只有一个邪恶的女巫,那个女巫住在西方。
“But,” said Dorothy, after a moment’s thought, “ Aunt Em has told me that the witches were all dead—years and years ago.”
" 但是, " 多萝西说,经过一时的思考, " 埃姆姨妈告诉我,女巫们都是多年以前死去的。 “
“Who is Aunt Em?”
“埃姆阿姨是谁? “
inquired the little old woman.
问那个小老妇人
“She is my aunt who lives in Kansas, where I came from.”
“她是我住在堪萨斯州的姨妈, “
The Witch of the North seemed to think for a time, with her head bowed and her eyes upon the ground.
北方的女巫似乎在想了一段时间,她的头被弯下,眼睛被放倒地上.
Then she looked up and said, “I do not know where Kansas is, for I have never heard that country mentioned before.
她抬头说道,“我不知道堪萨斯州在哪里,因为我从未听说过前面提到的那个国家。
But tell me, is it a civilized country?”
告诉我,它是一个文明的国家吗? “
“Oh, yes,” replied Dorothy.
" 哦,是的,"回答道:多萝西.
“Then that accounts for it.
“那就说明问题。
In the civilized countries I believe there are no witches left, nor wizards, nor sorceresses, nor magicians.
在文明国家里 我相信没有巫师 巫师 巫师 魔术师
But, you see, the Land of Oz has never been civilized, for we are cut off from all the rest of the world.
但是,你看,奥兹之地从未文明过,因为我们与世界所有其它地方都隔绝了.
Therefore we still have witches and wizards amongst us.”
因此,我们中间仍然有巫师和巫师。 “
“Who are the wizards?”
“谁是巫师? “
asked Dorothy.
问多萝西。
“Oz himself is the Great Wizard,” answered the Witch, sinking her voice to a whisper.
巫师回答说,
“He is more powerful than all the rest of us together.
“他比我们大家更强大。
He lives in the City of Emeralds.”
住翡翠城. “
Dorothy was going to ask another question, but just then the Munchkins, who had been standing silently by, gave a loud shout and pointed to the corner of the house where the Wicked Witch had been lying.
桃乐西本来打算再问一个问题,但就在当时一直默默地站着的芒克金人大喊大叫并指向那个邪恶女巫一直在说谎的房子的一角.
“What is it?”
“这是什么? “
asked the little old woman, and looked, and began to laugh.
问小老妇人相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相
The feet of the dead Witch had disappeared entirely, and nothing was left but the silver shoes.
死去的女巫的脚完全消失了,除了银鞋,什么都没有了.
“She was so old,” explained the Witch of the North, “that she dried up quickly in the sun.
“她年事已高,”北方女巫解释说,“她在太阳下迅速干涸。
That is the end of her.
这是她的终结。
But the silver shoes are yours, and you shall have them to wear.”
但银鞋是你的,你应该穿 “
She reached down and picked up the shoes, and after shaking the dust out of them handed them to Dorothy.
她伸到地上拿起鞋来,被他们摇出尘埃后,交给多萝西.
“The Witch of the East was proud of those silver shoes,” said one of the Munchkins, “and there is some charm connected with them; but what it is we never knew.”
“东方女巫为这双银鞋而骄傲,”其中一位孟奇金人说,“与这些鞋有关,有些魅力;但我们不知道的是什么。 “
Dorothy carried the shoes into the house and placed them on the table.
多萝西把鞋子抬入了房子,放在桌子上.
Then she came out again to the Munchkins and said: “I am anxious to get back to my aunt and uncle, for I am sure they will worry about me.
然后,她再次出门到Munchkins说:“我急切地想回到我姨妈和叔叔身边,因为我相信他们会为我担心。
Can you help me find my way?”
你能帮我找到路吗? “
The Munchkins and the Witch first looked at one another, and then at Dorothy, and then shook their heads.
蒙克金人和女巫先相视,再相视多萝西,后摇头.
“ At the East, not far from here,” said one, “there is a great desert, and none could live to cross it.”
“...... 在离这里不远的东部,有人说,“那里有一个伟大的沙漠,没有人能活着穿过它。 “
“It is the same at the South,” said another, “for I have been there and seen it.
另一个人说,“南方同样如此”,“我曾经在那里看到过。
The South is the country of the Quadlings.”
南为四方所出之地. “
“I am told,” said the third man, “that it is the same at the West.
第三个人说,“我被告知,西方的情况也是如此。
And that country, where the Winkies live, is ruled by the Wicked Witch of the West, who would make you her slave if you passed her way.”
而那个温基人所居住的国家 是由西方邪恶的女巫统治的 如果你走过她的路 她会把你变成她的奴隶 “
“The North is my home,” said the old lady, “and at its edge is the same great desert that surrounds this Land of Oz.
这位老太太说,“北方是我的家”,“在它的边缘是环绕着这片绿地的大沙漠。
I’m afraid, my dear, you will have to live with us.”
亲爱的,你必须和我们一起生活。 “
Dorothy began to sob at this, for she felt lonely among all these strange people.
桃乐西开始为这个难过 因为她觉得孤独 在所有这些陌生的人。
Her tears seemed to grieve the kind-hearted Munchkins, for they immediately took out their handkerchiefs and began to weep also.
她的眼泪似乎哀伤了善良的芒克金人,因为他们立刻取出手帕并开始哭泣.
As for the little old woman, she took off her cap and balanced the point on the end of her nose, while she counted “One, two, three” in a solemn voice.
至于那个小老妇人,她脱下帽子并平衡了鼻子末端的分数,而她则用庄严的声音计算出"一 二 三".
At once the cap changed to a slate, on which was written in big, white chalk marks: “LET DOROTHY GO TO THE CITY OF EMERALDS” The little old woman took the slate from her nose, and having read the words on it, asked, “Is your name Dorothy, my dear?”
盖子一被改为花板,上面有大白粉笔印: " LET DOROTHY去埃梅拉地斯城" 那个小老妇从鼻子上取出石板来,读了上面的文字后,问道:"亲爱的,你叫多萝西吗? “
“Yes,” answered the child, looking up and drying her tears.
“是的”,”儿童回答说,抬头看并擦干她的眼泪。
“Then you must go to the City of Emeralds.
“那么你必须去翡翠城。
Perhaps Oz will help you.”
也许 奥兹会帮你的 “
“Where is this city?”
“这座城市在哪里? “
asked Dorothy.
问多萝西。
“It is exactly in the center of the country, and is ruled by Oz, the Great Wizard I told you of.”
“它恰好位于该国中部,由我告诉你的大巫师奥兹统治。 “
“Is he a good man?”
“他是好人吗? “
inquired the girl anxiously.
急着问那女孩
“He is a good Wizard.
“他是个好巫师。
Whether he is a man or not I cannot tell, for I have never seen him.”
无论他是否是男人 我都不能说 因为我从未见过他 “
“How can I get there?”
“我怎样才能到达那里? “
asked Dorothy.
问多萝西。
“You must walk.
“你必须走。
It is a long journey, through a country that is sometimes pleasant and sometimes dark and terrible.
这是一个漫长的旅程,经过一个有时是愉快的、有时是黑暗和可怕的国家。
However, I will use all the magic arts I know of to keep you from harm.”
然而,我会利用我所知道的魔法 来防止你受到伤害 “
“Won’t you go with me?”
“你不和我一起去吗? “
pleaded the girl, who had begun to look upon the little old woman as her only friend.
恳求那个女孩,她开始把那个小老妇人当成她唯一的朋友。
“No, I cannot do that,” she replied, “but I will give you my kiss, and no one will dare injure a person who has been kissed by the Witch of the North.”
她回答说,“不,我不能这样做,”但我要吻你,没有人敢伤害被北方女巫接吻的人。 “
She came close to Dorothy and kissed her gently on the forehead.
