In Part 2 of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Dorothy sets out on the yellow brick road for the Emerald City.
在"绿野仙踪"第二部中,多萝西出道于黄砖路为翡翠城而行.
As she travels through the land of the Munchkins, she meets and befriends the Scarecrow, who has no brains.
在她穿越芒克金人之地时,她相遇并结识了没有大脑的稻草人.
The Scarecrow joins her on her journey, hoping to ask Oz for help.
稻草人与她一起出行,希望能向奥兹求救.
standing patiently in his corner, waiting for her.
耐心地站在他角落里 等着她
“We must go and search for water,” she said to him.
她对他说,“我们必须去寻找水。”
“Why do you want water?”
“为什么你要取水? “
he asked.
他问。
“To wash my face clean after the dust of the road, and to drink, so the dry bread will not stick in my throat.”
“去道后洗我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 “
“It must be inconvenient to be made of flesh,” said the Scarecrow thoughtfully, “for you must sleep, and eat, and drink.
稻草人深思熟虑地说,“用肉来做一定是不方便的,因为你必须睡觉吃喝。
However, you have brains, and it is worth a lot of bother to be able to think properly.”
然而,你有头脑, 并且它值得花费很多时间去思考。 “
They left the cottage and walked through the trees until they found a little spring of clear water, where Dorothy drank and bathed and ate her breakfast.
他们离开小屋走过树上,直到找到一阵清水,多萝西在那里饮用并洗澡并吃她早餐.
She saw there was not much bread left in the basket, and the girl was thankful the Scarecrow did not have to eat anything, for there was scarcely enough for herself and Toto for the day.
她看到篮子里没有太多的面包了,女孩们感恩稻草人不需要吃任何东西,因为她自己和多多一天都吃不够.
When she had finished her meal, and was about to go back to the road of yellow brick, she was startled to hear a deep groan nearby.
当她吃完了饭后,正要回到黄砖路口时,她惊呆地听到附近有很深的呻吟声.
“What was that?”
“这是什么? “
she asked timidly.
她胆小地问她
“I cannot imagine,” replied the Scarecrow; “but we can go and see.”
“我无法想象”稻草人回答说,“但是我们可以去看看。 “
Just then another groan reached their ears, and the sound seemed to come from behind them.
刚刚又有一个呻吟声传到他们的耳朵,声音似乎从他们身后传来.
They turned and walked through the forest a few steps, when Dorothy discovered something shining in a ray of sunshine that fell between the trees.
他们转过身来走过森林几步,当多萝西发现一束阳光中闪耀出的东西从树间倒下.
She ran to the place and then stopped short, with a little cry of surprise.
她跑去那个地方,然后停了下来,有点惊奇地喊叫.
One of the big trees had been partly chopped through, and standing beside it, with an uplifted axe in his hands, was a man made entirely of tin.
其中一棵大树被部分地砍穿了,站在旁边,手里拿着一把抬起的斧子,是一个完全由锡制成的人.
His head and arms and legs were jointed upon his body, but he stood perfectly motionless, as if he could not stir at all.
他的头和手和腿被绑在身上,但他完全站不住脚,好像他根本不能搅动。
Dorothy looked at him in amazement, and so did the Scarecrow, while Toto barked sharply and made a snap at the tin legs, which hurt his teeth.
多萝西惊叹地看着他,稻草人也一样,而多多则尖锐地叫了起来并用锡腿作响,这伤害了自己的牙齿.
“Did you groan?”
“你叹息了吗? “
asked Dorothy.
问多萝西。
“Yes,” answered the tin man, “I did.
“是的”,锡人回答说:“我做到了。
I’ve been groaning for more than a year, and no one has ever heard me before or come to help me.”
我呻吟了一年多, “
“What can I do for you?”
“我能为你做什么? “
she inquired softly, for she was moved by the sad voice in which the man spoke.
她温柔地问,因为她被那个男人说话的悲伤的声音所感动.
“Get an oil-can and oil my joints,” he answered.
他回答说,
“They are rusted so badly that I cannot move them at all; if I am well oiled I shall soon be all right again.
“他们生锈得如此严重,我根本动不了他们;如果我油好的话,我很快就会恢复健康。
You will find an oil-can on a shelf in my cottage.”
你会在我的小屋的架子上找到个油罐 “
Dorothy at once ran back to the cottage and found the oil-can, and then she returned and asked anxiously, “Where are your joints?”
Dorothy立刻跑回了小屋,找到油罐,然后她返回,急切地问道:“你的接头在哪里? “
“Oil my neck, first,” replied the Tin Woodman.
“首先用我的脖子,”Tin Woodman回答说。
So she oiled it, and as it was quite badly rusted the Scarecrow took hold of the tin head and moved it gently from side to side until it worked freely, and then the man could turn it himself.
于是她把它涂上, 由于它被严重生锈, 稻草人抓住了锡头, 轻轻地把它从一边移到另一边, 直到它自由工作, 然后男人可以自己转动它。
“Now oil the joints in my arms,” he said.
他说,“现在把关节擦干”。
And Dorothy oiled them and the Scarecrow bent them carefully until they were quite free from rust and as good as new.
桃乐西用油浇了它们 稻草人小心地弯了它们 直到它们完全没有生锈 和新的一样好
The Tin Woodman gave a sigh of satisfaction and lowered his axe, which he leaned against the tree.
天木人取出一叹气来,并放下了他的斧子,他把斧子靠在了树上.
“This is a great comfort,” he said.
他说,“这是极大的安慰”。
“I have been holding that axe in the air ever since I rusted, and I’m glad to be able to put it down at last.
自从生锈后, 我便一直拿着斧头,
Now, if you will oil the joints of my legs, I shall be all right once more.”
现在,如果你要 油我的腿关节, 我会再次好起来。 “
So they oiled his legs until he could move them freely; and he thanked them again and again for his release, for he seemed a very polite creature, and very grateful.
于是,他们把他的腿擦了油,直到他能自由移动;他一遍又一遍地感谢他们释放他,因为他看起来非常有礼貌,非常感激。
“I might have stood there always if you had not come along,” he said; “so you have certainly saved my life.
他说:如果你没有来,我或许总是站在那里。
How did you happen to be here?”
你怎么来了? “
“We are on our way to the Emerald City to see the Great Oz,” she answered, “and we stopped at your cottage to pass the night.”
她回答说,“我们正要去翡翠城看大奥兹,”我们停在你的小屋过夜。 “
“Why do you wish to see Oz?”
“为什么你想见奥兹? “
he asked.
他问。
“I want him to send me back to Kansas, and the Scarecrow wants him to put a few brains into his head,” she replied.
她回答说,“我希望他把我送回堪萨斯州,稻草人希望他把一些脑子塞入他头上。”
The Tin Woodman appeared to think deeply for a moment.
锡木人似乎一时深思.
Then he said: “Do you suppose Oz could give me a heart?”
他说:你们告诉我吧! “
“Why, I guess so,” Dorothy answered.
“为什么,我想是这样”多萝西回答。
“It would be as easy as to give the Scarecrow brains.”
“给稻草人的大脑同样容易。 “
“True,” the Tin Woodman returned.
"真"天木人回来了.
“So, if you will allow me to join your party, I will also go to the Emerald City and ask Oz to help me.”
“所以,如果你允许我加入你的党,我也会去翡翠城,请奥兹帮助我。 “
“Come along,” said the Scarecrow heartily, and Dorothy added that she would be pleased to have his company.
Dorothy补充道,她很高兴有他的陪伴。
So the Tin Woodman shouldered his axe and they all passed through the forest until they came to the road that was paved with yellow brick.
于是"天木活人"肩起他的斧头,他们都从森林中走来,直到他们来到了被黄砖铺平的道路.
The Tin Woodman had asked Dorothy to put the oil-can in her basket.
天木人让多萝西把油罐放进篮子里
“For,” he said, “if I should get caught in the rain, and rust again, I would need the oil-can badly.”
“因为”他说,“如果我在雨中被抓住,再生锈,我就会非常需要油罐。 “
It was a bit of good luck to have their new comrade join the party, for soon after they had begun their journey again they came to a place where the trees and branches grew so thick over the road that the travelers could not pass.
让他们的新同志加入党是有点好运气的,因为在他们再次开始出行之后不久,他们来到了一个树枝在路上变得茂密而旅行者无法通过的地方.
But the Tin Woodman set to work with his axe and chopped so well that soon he cleared a passage for the entire party.
但丁木人准备用斧头工作 砍得那么好 很快他为全党清除了一条通道
Dorothy was thinking so earnestly as they walked along that she did not notice when the Scarecrow stumbled into a hole and rolled over to the side of the road.
Dorothy当时在认真思考 当他们沿着路走的时候 她没注意到稻草人撞入了洞里 然后翻到路边
Indeed he was obliged to call to her to help him up again.
事实上,他不得不呼吁她再次帮助他。
“Why didn’t you walk around the hole?”
“你为什么不绕着洞走? “
asked the Tin Woodman.
问天木人.
“I don’t know enough,” replied the Scarecrow cheerfully.
「我不知道,
“My head is stuffed with straw, you know, and that is why I am going to Oz to ask him for some brains.”
“我的头被吸管塞满了,所以我要去奥兹找他找点脑子。 “
“Oh, I see,” said the Tin Woodman.
锡木人说,
“But, after all, brains are not the best things in the world.”
“但毕竟,大脑不是世界上最好的东西。 “
“Have you any?”
“你有吗? “
inquired the Scarecrow.
问稻草人.
“No, my head is quite empty,” answered the Woodman.
“不,我的头是相当空的,”伍德曼回答说。
“But once I had brains, and a heart also; so, having tried them both, I should much rather have a heart.”
“但当我有头脑,有一颗心的时候,经过两次尝试,我更应该有一颗心。 “
“ And why is that?”
“...... 为什么? “
asked the Scarecrow.
问稻草人.
“I will tell you my story.
“我将告诉你我的故事。
Then you will know.”
那你会知道的 “
So, while they were walking through the forest, the Tin Woodman told the following story: “I was born the son of a woodman who chopped down trees in the forest and sold the wood for a living.
因此,在他们走过森林时,锡木人讲述了以下故事:“我生来是一名木工的儿子,他砍倒了森林中的树木并卖了木头为生。
When I grew up, I too became a woodchopper, and after my father died I took care of my old mother as long as she lived.
长大后,也成为了一名木匠,父亲去世后,只要她活着,我就照顾我的老母亲.
Then I made up my mind that instead of living alone I would marry, so that I might not become lonely.
后来我下定决心,不再独自生活,而是要结婚,这样我就不会孤独了.
“There was one of the Munchkin girls who was so beautiful that I soon grew to love her with all my heart.
“有一个Munchkin女孩如此美丽,我很快变得全心全意地爱她。
She, on her part, promised to marry me as soon as I could earn enough money to build a better house for her; so I set to work harder than ever.
她答应一旦我赚到足够多的钱,就娶我,为她建造一个更好的房子;所以我比以往更努力地工作。
But the girl lived with an old woman who did not want her to marry anyone, for she was so lazy she wished the girl to remain with her and do the cooking and the housework.
但是这个女孩和一个老妇人住在一起,她不希望她嫁给任何人,因为她太懒了,她希望这个女孩留在她身边,做做饭和做家务.
“So the old woman went to the Wicked Witch of the East, and promised her two sheep and a cow if she would prevent the marriage.
“老妇人去见了东方的巫婆,答应她两只羊和一头母牛,如果她阻止结婚的话。
Thereupon the Wicked Witch enchanted my axe, and when I was chopping away at my best one day, for I was anxious to get the new house and my wife as soon as possible, the axe slipped all at once and cut off my left leg.
邪恶的巫婆把斧头弄得神魂颠倒 有一天我正在尽我所能地砍去时 因为我急于尽快得到新房子和我妻子 斧头立刻滑倒并割去我的左腿
“This at first seemed a great misfortune, for I knew a one-legged man could not do very well as a woodchopper.
“起初,这似乎是一个巨大的不幸,因为我知道,一个单脚男人不能像一个木工那样做得很好。
So I went to a tinsmith and had him make me a new leg out of tin.
于是我去了一个锡匠 让他给我做了一条新腿出锡。
The leg worked very well, once I was used to it.
腿工作得很好,我习惯了
But my action angered the Wicked Witch of the East, for she had promised the old woman I should not marry the pretty Munchkin girl.
但我的行为激怒了东方的邪恶女巫 因为她答应过那个老妇人 我不该嫁给那个漂亮的蒙克金女孩
When I began chopping again, my axe slipped and cut off my right leg.
当我又开始砍人时,我的斧子滑倒并砍下我的右腿.
Again I went to the tinsmith, and again he made me a leg out of tin.
我又去锡匠那里了 他又用锡做的一条腿
After this the enchanted axe cut off my arms, one after the other; but, nothing daunted, I had them replaced with tin ones.
在这之后,被魔法用斧子砍断了我的手臂,一个接一个;但是,没有什么可畏的,我把它们换成锡的。
The Wicked Witch then made the axe slip and cut off my head, and at first I thought that was the end of me.
邪恶的女巫然后把斧子滑倒并砍下我的头,起初我以为这就是我的末日.
But the tinsmith happened to come along, and he made me a new head out of tin.
但铁匠碰巧来了, 他给我做了一个新的头出锡。
“I thought I had beaten the Wicked Witch then, and I worked harder than ever; but I little knew how cruel my enemy could be.
“我当时以为我打败了邪恶的女巫,我比以往更努力工作;但我很少知道我的敌人是多么残忍。
She thought of a new way to kill my love for the beautiful Munchkin maiden, and made my axe slip again, so that it cut right through my body, splitting me into two halves.
她想到了新的方法 杀死我的爱 美丽的芒克金少女, 并再次使我的斧子滑倒, 这样它直穿我的身体, 把我分成两半。
Once more the tinsmith came to my help and made me a body of tin, fastening my tin arms and legs and head to it, by means of joints, so that I could move around as well as ever.
锡匠又一次来到我的帮助之下,使我成为一具锡体,将我的锡臂和腿紧紧地扎住并用接头去取去,这样我才能像往常一样行走.
But, alas!
但是,对不起!
I had now no heart, so that I lost all my love for the Munchkin girl, and did not care whether I married her or not.
我现在没有心,所以失去了我对"芒奇金"女孩的全部爱,也不在乎我是否娶了她.
I suppose she is still living with the old woman, waiting for me to come after her.
我想她还是和那个老女人住在一起 等着我去追她
“My body shone so brightly in the sun that I felt very proud of it and it did not matter now if my axe slipped, for it could not cut me.
“我的身体在阳光下闪耀,我为此感到非常骄傲,如果斧子滑倒,现在不重要,因为它不能割伤我。
There was only one danger—that my joints would rust; but I kept an oil-can in my cottage and took care to oil myself whenever I needed it.
只有一种危险——我的关节会生锈;但我把一个油罐放在我的小屋里,每当我需要油时,自己也照顾好。
However, there came a day when I forgot to do this, and, being caught in a rainstorm, before I thought of the danger my joints had rusted, and I was left to stand in the woods until you came to help me.
然而,有一天,我忘了做这件事, 和被一阵暴雨所夹住, 在我想到我的关节已经生锈的危险之前, 我被留在树林里,直到你来帮助我。
“It was a terrible thing to undergo, but during the year I stood there I had time to think that the greatest loss I had known was the loss of my heart.
“这是一件可怕的事,但在我站在那里的这一年里,我曾有时间认为,我知道的最大损失是我的心的损失。
While I was in love I was the happiest man on earth; but no one can love who has not a heart, and so I am resolved to ask Oz to give me one.
当我恋爱时,我是世上最幸福的人;但没有人能爱没有心的人,因此我决心请奥兹给我一个心.
If he does, I will go back to the Munchkin maiden and marry her.”
如果他这样做,我会回到 芒奇金少女并娶她。 “
Both Dorothy and the Scarecrow had been greatly interested in the story of the Tin Woodman, and now they knew why he was so anxious to get a new heart.
桃乐丝和稻草人都对"天木人"的故事非常感兴趣,现在他们知道为什么他如此急于得到新的心.
“ All the same,” said the Scarecrow, “I shall ask for brains instead of a heart; for a fool would not know what to do with a heart if he had one.”
“...... 稻草人说:“我要的是大脑,而不是心脏;如果一个傻瓜有心脏,他不知道该怎么处理心脏。 “
“I shall take the heart,” returned the Tin Woodman; “for brains do not make one happy, and happiness is the best thing in the world.”
“我要取出心来,”将锡木人送回来;“因为大脑不能使一个人幸福,幸福是世界上最好的事情。 “
Dorothy did not say anything, for she was puzzled to know which of her two friends was right, and she decided if she could only get back to Kansas and Aunt Em, it did not matter so much whether the Woodman had no brains and the Scarecrow no heart, or each got what he wanted.
多萝西没有说什么,因为她很迷惑地知道她的两个朋友中哪一个是对的,她决定如果她只能回到堪萨斯州和埃姆姨妈那里,那么木人是否没有大脑,稻草人是否没有心,或者每个人都得到了他想要的东西,都无所谓.
What worried her most was that the bread was nearly gone, and another meal for herself and Toto would empty the basket.
她最担心的就是面包几乎没了,她和多多的一顿饭会清空篮子.
To be sure, neither the Woodman nor the Scarecrow ever ate anything, but she was not made of tin nor straw, and could not live unless she was fed.
当然,伍德曼人和稻草人都没有吃过任何东西,但她不是用锡和稻草制成的,除非被喂食,否则无法活.
All this time Dorothy and her companions had been walking through the thick woods.
一直以来,多萝西和她的同伴们 一直在树林里走来走去
The road was still paved with yellow brick, but these were much covered by dried branches and dead leaves from the trees, and the walking was not at all good.
路面上还铺有黄色砖块,但这些被干枝和树上枯叶所覆盖,行走完全不好.
There were few birds in this part of the forest, for birds love the open country where there is plenty of sunshine.
这片森林里很少鸟儿 因为鸟儿喜欢阳光充足的开放国家
But now and then there came a deep growl from some wild animal hidden among the trees.
但时而从树上隐藏的一些野生动物中 出现了一股深深的叫声
These sounds made the little girl’s heart beat fast, for she did not know what made them; but Toto knew, and he walked close to Dorothy’s side, and did not even bark in return.
这些声音让小女孩的心跳很快,因为她不知道是什么原因造成的;而托多知道,他走近了多萝西的一面,甚至没有吠叫作为回报.
“How long will it be,” the child asked of the Tin Woodman, “before we are out of the forest?”
孩童问天木人“在我们离开森林之前, “
“I cannot tell,” was the answer, “for I have never been to the Emerald City.
回答是:“我不能说,”“因为我从来没有去过翡翠城。
But my father went there once, when I was a boy, and he said it was a long journey through a dangerous country, although nearer to the city where Oz dwells the country is beautiful.
但我的父亲曾经去过那里, 当我还是个孩子的时候, 他说这是一个漫长的旅程 经过一个危险的国家, 虽然更靠近奥兹所居住的城市,
But I am not afraid so long as I have my oil-can, and nothing can hurt the Scarecrow, while you bear upon your forehead the mark of the Good Witch’s kiss, and that will protect you from harm.”
但我并不害怕只要我有油罐, 没有什么能伤害稻草人, 而你却在你的额头上留下好女巫接吻的痕迹, “
“But Toto!”
“但托多!”
said the girl anxiously.
说那女孩很焦虑
“What will protect him?”
“什么会保护他? “
“We must protect him ourselves if he is in danger,” replied the Tin Woodman.
Tin Woodman回答说:“如果他有危险,我们必须保护自己。”
Just as he spoke there came from the forest a terrible roar, and the next moment a great Lion bounded into the road.
就在他说话的时候,森林里出现了一股可怕的咆哮, 下一瞬间,一只伟大的狮子被围入了道路。
With one blow of his paw he sent the Scarecrow spinning over and over to the edge of the road, and then he struck at the Tin Woodman with his sharp claws.
他的爪子被一击就把稻草人接连地旋转到路边去,然后他用锋利的爪子打倒了锡木人.
But, to the Lion’s surprise, he could make no impression on the tin, although the Woodman fell over in the road and lay still.
但是,让狮子惊讶的是,他无法对锡作任何印象,尽管木人倒在了路上并躺了下来.
Little Toto, now that he had an enemy to face, ran barking toward the Lion, and the great beast had opened his mouth to bite the dog, when Dorothy, fearing Toto would be killed, and heedless of danger, rushed forward and slapped the Lion upon his nose as hard as she could, while she cried out: “Don’t you dare to bite Toto!
小多多,现在他有敌人要面对,跑去向狮子叫叫,大野兽打开口来咬狗,当多萝西害怕多多多会被杀死,不顾危险地冲来冲去,并狠狠地扇了狮子的鼻子,而她却喊道:"你敢咬多多多!
You ought to be ashamed of yourself, a big beast like you, to bite a poor little dog!”
你应该为自己感到羞愧,像你这样的大野兽,咬了一只可怜的小狗!”
“I didn’t bite him,” said the Lion, as he rubbed his nose with his paw where Dorothy had hit it.
狮子说:「我没有咬他,
“No, but you tried to,” she retorted.
"没有,但你试图," 她反悔。
“You are nothing but a big coward.”
“你只是一个懦夫。 “
“I know it,” said the Lion, hanging his head in shame.
狮子说,“我知道,”他羞愧地挂起头来。
“I’ve always known it.
“我一直知道这一点。
But how can I help it?”
我该怎么帮你? “
“I don’t know, I’m sure.
“我不知道,
To think of your striking a stuffed man, like the poor Scarecrow!”
就像可怜的稻草人一样,
“Is he stuffed?”
“他被塞了吗? “
asked the Lion in surprise, as he watched her pick up the Scarecrow and set him upon his feet, while patting him into shape again.
惊讶地问了狮子,当他看着她取起稻草人并把他放倒在地上,同时又拍他成形.
“Of course he’s stuffed,” replied Dorothy, who was still angry.
他回答道:“当然,
“That’s why he went over so easily,” remarked the Lion.
狮子说,
“It astonished me to see him whirl around so.
“见到他转来转去,我感到惊讶。
Is the other one stuffed also?”
另一个也塞了? “
“No,” said Dorothy, “he’s made of tin.”
Dorothy说:“不, “
And she helped the Woodman up again.
她又帮了木人
“That’s why he nearly blunted my claws,” said the Lion.
狮子说,“这就是为什么他几乎钝化我的爪子。”
“When they scratched against the tin it made a cold shiver run down my back.
“当他们抓起锡时,它使我背上冒出一股寒冷的颤抖。
What is that little animal you are so tender of?”
你这么温柔的小动物是什么? “
“He is my dog, Toto,” answered Dorothy.
“他是我的狗,托托”回答道:多萝西。
“Is he made of tin, or stuffed?”
“他是用锡制成的,还是用锡制成的? “
asked the Lion.
问狮子.
“Neither.
“也没有。
He’s a—a—a meat dog,” said the girl.
女孩说,
“Oh!
“哦!
He’s a curious animal and seems remarkably small, now that I look at him.
他是一个好奇的动物,
No one would think of biting such a little thing, except a coward like me,” continued the Lion sadly.
除了我这样的懦夫,没有人会想到咬这种小东西。”
“What makes you a coward?”
“什么让你成为懦夫? “
asked Dorothy, looking at the great beast in wonder, for he was as big as a small horse.
问多萝西,看着神奇的巨兽,因为他像一匹小马一样大.
“It’s a mystery,” replied the Lion.
狮子回答说,
“I suppose I was born that way.
“我想我是那样出生的。
All the other animals in the forest naturally expect me to be brave, for the Lion is everywhere thought to be the King of Beasts.
森林里的所有其他动物都自然期望我勇敢,因为"狮子"到处都被认为是"野兽之王".
I learned that if I roared very loudly every living thing was frightened and got out of my way.
我学会了如果我大声地咆哮 每一个活物都会被吓倒 走出我的路
Whenever I’ve met a man I’ve been awfully scared; but I just roared at him, and he has always run away as fast as he could go.
每当我遇到一个男人, 我非常害怕, 但我只是对他咆哮,
If the elephants and the tigers and the bears had ever tried to fight me, I should have run myself—I’m such a coward; but just as soon as they hear me roar they all try to get away from me, and of course I let them go.”
如果大象和老虎和熊曾经试图与我作战, 我应该自己跑... 我是一个懦夫, 但只要他们听到我吼叫, “
“But that isn’t right.
“但这样不对。
The King of Beasts shouldn’t be a coward,” said the Scarecrow.
野兽之王不应该是懦夫,
“I know it,” returned the Lion, wiping a tear from his eye with the tip of his tail.
“我知道,”将狮子送回来,用尾巴的一角擦去一滴眼泪。
“It is my great sorrow, and makes my life very unhappy.
“这是我极大的悲痛,使我的生活非常不幸福。
But whenever there is danger, my heart begins to race.”
但每当有危险的时候,我的心就会开始奔跑. “
“Perhaps you have heart disease,” said the Tin Woodman.
锡木人说,“也许你有心脏病。”
“It may be,” said the Lion.
狮子说,“也许,”
“If you have,” continued the Tin Woodman, “you ought to be glad, for it proves you have a heart.
Tin Woodman继续说:“如果你有的话,你应该感到高兴,因为这证明你有一颗心。
For my part, I have no heart; so I cannot have heart disease.”
就我而言,我没有心;因此,我不能有心病。 “
“Perhaps,” said the Lion thoughtfully, “if I had no heart I should not be a coward.”
“也许,”狮子会深思熟虑地说,“如果我没有心,我不应该是一个懦夫。 “
“Have you brains?”
“你们有脑子吗? “
asked the Scarecrow.
问稻草人.
“I suppose so.
“我想是这样。
I’ve never looked to see,” replied the Lion.
狮子回答说,
“I am going to the Great Oz to ask him to give me some,” remarked the Scarecrow, “for my head is stuffed with straw.”
稻草人说:“我要去大奥兹请他给我一些,”因为我的头塞满了稻草。 “
“ And I am going to ask him to give me a heart,” said the Woodman.
“...... 我要请他给我一颗心,“伍德曼说。
“ And I am going to ask him to send Toto and me back to Kansas,” added Dorothy.
“...... 我要请他把托托和我送回堪萨斯州。”
“Do you think Oz could give me courage?”
“你认为奥兹能给我勇气吗? “
asked the Cowardly Lion.
问胆小鬼狮子。
“Just as easily as he could give me brains,” said the Scarecrow.
稻草人说,
“Or give me a heart,” said the Tin Woodman.
Tin Woodman说:“或者给我一颗心,”
“Or send me back to Kansas,” said Dorothy.
桃乐西说,
“Then, if you don’t mind, I’ll go with you,” said the Lion, “for my life is simply unbearable without a bit of courage.”
“那么,如果你不介意的话,我会和你一起去,”狮子说,“因为没有一点勇气,我的生命是无法忍受的。 “
“You will be very welcome,” answered Dorothy, “for you will help to keep away the other wild beasts.
桃乐西回答说,“你们将受到非常欢迎”,“因为你们将帮助远离其他野兽。
It seems to me they must be more cowardly than you are if they allow you to scare them so easily.”
在我看来,他们一定比你更懦弱 如果他们让你这么容易吓到他们 “
“They really are,” said the Lion, “but that doesn’t make me any braver, and as long as I know myself to be a coward I shall be unhappy.”
狮子说, “他们真的是,”但这并不让我更勇敢, 只要我知道自己是个懦夫, 我就会不高兴。 “
So once more the little company set off upon the journey, the Lion walking with stately strides at Dorothy’s side.
狮子走在桃乐西身边,
Toto did not approve of this new comrade at first, for he could not forget how nearly he had been crushed between the Lion’s great jaws.
托多起初不赞成这位新同志,因为他无法忘记自己在狮子大下巴之间是如何被压扁的。
But after a time he became more at ease, and presently Toto and the Cowardly Lion had grown to be good friends.
但过了一段时间后,他变得更加轻松,目前托托和"懦夫狮子"已经成长为好朋友.
During the rest of that day there was no other adventure to mar the peace of their journey.
在今天的余下时间里,没有其他冒险来破坏他们的旅程的和平。
Once, indeed, the Tin Woodman stepped upon a beetle that was crawling along the road, and killed the poor little thing.
有一次,锡木人踩上一条沿路爬行的甲虫,并杀死了可怜的小东西.
This made the Tin Woodman very unhappy, for he was always careful not to hurt any living creature; and as he walked along he wept several tears of sorrow and regret.
这让锡木人非常不高兴,因为他总是小心地不伤害任何活生生的生物;当他沿着路走去时,他流了几滴悲伤和遗憾的泪.
These tears ran slowly down his face and over the hinges of his jaw, and there they rusted.
这些眼泪慢慢地从他的脸上流下,并翻过他下巴的支链,就在那里生锈了.
When Dorothy presently asked him a question the Tin Woodman could not open his mouth, for his jaws were tightly rusted together.
当多萝西现在问他一个问题... ...Tin Woodman不能张开他的嘴, 因为他的下巴很生锈在一起。
He became greatly frightened at this and made many motions to Dorothy to relieve him, but she could not understand.
他对此深感恐惧并多次向多萝西提出解除他职务的动议,但她无法理解.
The Lion was also puzzled to know what was wrong.
狮子也很迷惑地知道什么是错的。
But the Scarecrow seized the oil-can from Dorothy’s basket and oiled the Woodman’s jaws, so that after a few moments he could talk as well as before.
但稻草人从多萝西的篮子上取出油罐并给伍德曼的下巴涂了油,这样过了几分钟,他就能像以前一样说话了。
“This will serve me a lesson,” said he, “to look where I step.
他说,“这是给我的一课,”看看我站在哪里。
For if I should kill another bug or beetle I should surely cry again, and crying rusts my jaws so that I cannot speak.”
如果我杀了另一个虫子或甲虫,我肯定应该再哭一次, 哭着使我的下巴生锈,所以我不能说话。 “
Thereafter he walked very carefully, with his eyes on the road, and when he saw a tiny ant toiling by he would step over it, so as not to harm it.
此后他非常小心地行走,他的眼睛在路上,当他看见一头小蚂蚁被他用脚踩住,以免伤害到它。
The Tin Woodman knew very well he had no heart, and therefore he took great care never to be cruel or unkind to anything.
天木人非常清楚他没有心地,因此他非常小心地从不残忍或对任何东西不友善.
“You people with hearts,” he said, “have something to guide you, and need never do wrong; but I have no heart, and so I must be very careful.
他说:“你们这些有心的人,有一点指导你们,绝不要做错事;但我没有心,所以我必须非常小心。
When Oz gives me a heart of course I needn’t mind so much.”
何时 Oz当然给我一个心脏, “
