In Part 9 of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, the companions attempt to claim their rewards from Oz but soon learn that he is not the Great Wizard he pretends to be.
在"神奇的奥兹巫师"第九部中,同伴们试图向奥兹索取他们的奖励,但很快得知他不是他假装的伟大巫师.
At their insistence, Oz agrees to give the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and the Lion their rewards, but says he is not sure how to help Dorothy return home to Kansas.
在他们的坚持下,奥兹同意给予稻草人,锡木人,和狮子的奖励,但表示他不确定如何帮助多萝西回堪萨斯.
face an army or a dozen of the fierce Kalidahs.
面对一支军队或一打凶猛的卡利达人。
Thus each of the little party was satisfied except Dorothy, who longed more than ever to get back to Kansas.
因此,每个小党都满足了,除了多萝西,她比任何时候都更渴望回到堪萨斯州.
On the fourth day, to her great joy, Oz sent for her, and when she entered the Throne Room he greeted her pleasantly: “Sit down, my dear; I think I have found the way to get you out of this cou ntry.”
第四天,奥兹为她大喜而来接她,当她进入宝座室后,他愉快地迎接她: “亲爱的,坐下来,我想我已经找到办法让你走出这个圈子。 “
“ And back to Kansas?”
“...... 回到堪萨斯州? “
she asked eagerly.
她急切地问
“Well, I’m not sure about Kansas,” said Oz, “for I haven’t the faintest notion which way it lies.
Oz表示:「我不确定堪萨斯州,
But the first thing to do is to cross the desert, and then it should be easy to find your way home.”
但首先要穿越沙漠,然后应该很容易找到回家的路. “
“How can I cross the desert?”
“我怎么能穿越沙漠? “
she inquired.
她问。
“Well, I’ll tell you what I think,” said the little man.
「好吧,我告诉你我的想法」,
“You see, when I came to this country it was in a balloon.
“你看,当我来到这个国家时,它是一个气球。
You also came through the air, being carried by a cyclone.
你也从空中飞来 被气旋吹走
So I believe the best way to get across the desert will be through the air.
所以我相信穿越沙漠的最好方法是通过空气.
Now, it is quite beyond my powers to make a cyclone; but I’ve been thinking the matter over, and I believe I can make a balloon.”
(笑声) 现在,制造气旋已经超出了我的能力范围;但我一直在考虑这个问题,我相信我可以制造出气球。 “
“How?”
“如何? “
asked Dorothy.
问多萝西。
“ A balloon,” said Oz, “is made of silk, which is coated with glue to keep the gas in it.
Oz说,“一个气球由丝绸所制成,用胶水涂上以保持气流。
I have plenty of silk in the Palace, so it will be no trouble to make the balloon.
我在宫里有很多丝绸 所以制造气球不会有什么麻烦
But in all this country there is no gas to fill the balloon with, to make it float.”
但是在这个国家里 没有气体可以充气 让它漂浮 “
“If it won’t float,” remarked Dorothy, “it will be of no use to us.”
多萝西说:「如果它不浮出水面,
“True,” answered Oz.
“True,”回答Oz。
“But there is another way to make it float, which is to fill it with hot air.
“但还有另一种方法使它浮起,即充满热空气。
Hot air isn’t as good as gas, for if the air should get cold the balloon would come down in the desert, and we should be lost.”
热空气不如气体好, 因为如果空气变冷, “
“We!”
我们!
exclaimed the girl.
赞叹出女.
“ Are you going with me?”
“...... 你要和我一起去吗? “
“Yes, of course,” replied Oz.
“当然是”,Oz作了回答。
“I am tired of being such a humbug.
“我厌倦了成为这样一个臭虫。
If I should go out of this Palace my people would soon discover I am not a Wizard, and then they would be vexed with me for having deceived them.
如果我离开这所宫殿 我的人很快就会发现我不是巫师 然后他们会因为欺骗了他们而惹恼我
So I have to stay shut up in these rooms all day, and it gets tiresome.
所以我得在这间屋子里闭口不提 而且很烦人
I’ d much rather go back to Kansas with you and be in a circus again.”
我宁愿回到堪萨斯州, “
“I shall be glad to have your company,” said Dorothy.
多萝西说,“我很高兴有你的陪伴。”
“Thank you,” he answered.
他回答说,“谢谢”。
“Now, if you will help me sew the silk together, we will begin to work on our balloon.”
“现在,如果你能帮我缝上丝绸,我们将开始研究我们的气球。 “
So Dorothy took a needle and thread, and as fast as Oz cut the strips of silk into proper shape the girl sewed them neatly together.
于是多萝西取出一针一线,同奥兹一样快地将丝绸的条纹切成适当的外形,被女孩精心缝合而成.
First there was a strip of light green silk, then a strip of dark green and then a strip of emerald green; for Oz had a fancy to make the balloon in different shades of the color about them.
起初有一条浅绿色的丝绸,后有一条深绿色的丝绸,后有一条翡翠绿色;因为奥兹有一种花心把气球做成周围颜色不同遮蔽的气球.
It took three days to sew all the strips together, but when it was finished they had a big bag of green silk more than twenty feet long.
花了三天的时间把所有的条子都缝了起来,但是当它完成的时候,它们有一大袋长20多英尺的绿丝.
Then Oz painted it on the inside with a coat of thin glue, to make it airtight, after which he announced that the balloon was ready.
礛 奥兹用薄胶的外衣将气球涂在了内部,使其保持气密,之后他宣布气球已经准备好了.
“But we must have a basket to ride in,” he said.
他说,“但我们必须有一个篮子才能进入。”
So he sent the soldier with the green whiskers for a big clothes basket, which he fastened with many ropes to the bottom of the balloon.
于是他派士兵带着绿色的胡须去取取一个大衣服篮子,他用多条绳子将这个被捆绑到气球底部.
When it was all ready, Oz sent word to his people that he was going to make a visit to a great brother Wizard who lived in the clouds.
当一切都准备好了, 奥兹向族人发来消息说,他要去拜访一位住在云中地的伟哥巫师.
The news spread rapidly throughout the city and everyone came to see the wonderful sight.
消息迅速传遍了全市,所有人都来看了那美好的景象.
Oz ordered the balloon carried out in front of the Palace, and the people gazed upon it with much curiosity.
奥兹下令在宫殿前进行气球,人们非常好奇地注视着它.
The Tin Woodman had chopped a big pile of wood, and now he made a fire of it, and Oz held the bottom of the balloon over the fire so that the hot air that arose from it would be caught in the silken bag.
锡木人已经砍出一大堆木头,现在他用这堆木头生出火来,而奥兹把气球的底部挡在了火上,使从中产生的热空气被夹入了丝绸袋.
Gradually the balloon swelled out and rose into the air, until finally the basket just touched the ground.
气球渐渐地膨胀出并升入了空气中,直到最后篮子刚刚触地而出.
Then Oz got into the basket and said to all the people in a loud voice: “I am now going away to make a visit.
礛 奥兹走进篮子,大声地对所有人说:“我现在要出去拜访。
While I am gone the Scarecrow will rule over you.
我走了 稻草人会统治你
I command you to obey him as you would me.”
我命令你服从他 像我一样 “
The balloon was by this time tugging hard at the rope that held it to the ground, for the air within it was hot, and this made it so much lighter in weight than the air without that it pulled hard to rise into the sky.
气球此时正紧紧地拖着它到地上的绳子,因为里面的空气是热的,这使得它的重量比空气轻得多,没有它用力拉入天空.
“Come, Dorothy!”
"来吧,多萝西!"
cried the Wizard.
哭了巫师。
“Hurry up, or the balloon will fly away.”
“快点,否则气球会飞走。 “
“I can’t find Toto anywhere,” replied Dorothy, who did not wish to leave her little dog behind.
「我找不到托托了」,
Toto had run into the crowd to bark at a kitten, and Dorothy at last found him.
Toto跑到人群里去叫小猫 桃乐西终于找到他了
She picked him up and ran towards the balloon.
她扶起他跑向气球
She was within a few steps of it, and Oz was holding out his hands to help her into the basket, when, crack!
她身处其中几步,奥兹伸出手 帮助她进入篮子,当,裂开!
went the ropes, and the balloon rose into the air without her.
绳子被打开,没有她,气球就升起
“Come back!”
回来!
she screamed.
她尖叫着。
“I want to go, too!”
“我也想去!”
“I can’t come back, my dear,” called Oz from the basket.
我无法回来,
“Good-bye!”
“再见!”
“Good-bye!”
“再见!”
shouted everyone, and all eyes were turned upward to where the Wizard was riding in the basket, rising every moment farther and farther into the sky.
所有人都喊叫着,所有的目光都向上转向 巫师骑在篮子里的地方, 每时每刻地升入天空。
And that was the last any of them ever saw of Oz, the Wonderful Wizard, though he may have reached Omaha safely, and be there now, for all we know.
这是他们中最后一次见到奥兹, 神奇的魔法师, 尽管他可能安全到达了奥马哈, 现在在那里,就我们所知。
But the people remembered him lovingly, and said to one another: “Oz was always our friend.
众人却怀念他,彼此说:‘欧兹是我们的朋友。
When he was here he built for us this beautiful Emerald City, and now he is gone he has left the Wise Scarecrow to rule over us.”
他在这里时为我们建造了一座美丽的翡翠之城 现在他走了 他离开了智慧稻草人来统治我们 “
Still, for many days they grieved over the loss of the Wonderful Wizard, and would not be comforted.
数日来,他们为绝妙的术士的逝去而悲伤,他们不蒙安慰。
Dorothy wept bitterly at the passing of her hope to get home to Kansas again; but when she thought it all over she was glad she had not gone up in a balloon.
多萝西在她希望再次回到堪萨斯的希望被流走而痛苦地哭泣;但当她满脑子想的时候,她很高兴她没有在气球中升起.
And she also felt sorry at losing Oz, and so did her companions.
她也为失去奥兹而难过 她的同伴也一样
The Tin Woodman came to her and said: “Truly I should be ungrateful if I failed to mourn for the man who gave me my lovely heart.
天木人来到她面前说道:"如果我没有为给我可爱的心的人哀悼,我的确应该忘恩负义.
I should like to cry a little because Oz is gone, if you will kindly wipe away my tears, so that I shall not rust.”
我想哭是因为奥兹走了 如果你能帮我擦掉眼泪 这样我就不会生锈了 “
“With pleasure,” she answered, and brought a towel at once.
她回答说,“很高兴,”她马上带来了一条毛巾。
Then the Tin Woodman wept for several minutes, and she watched the tears carefully and wiped them away with the towel.
后被天木人泣了几分钟,她仔细地看着眼泪,用毛巾擦去.
When he had finished, he thanked her kindly and oiled himself thoroughly with his jeweled oil-can, to guard against mishap.
当他完成后,他向她致谢,并用他珠宝油罐彻底涂了油来防患于未然.
The Scarecrow was now the ruler of the Emerald City, and although he was not a Wizard the people were proud of him.
稻草人现在是翡翠城的统治者,虽然他不是巫师,但人们还是以他为荣.
“For,” they said, “there is not another city in all the world that is ruled by a stuffed man.”
他们说:“因为,全世界没有一个城市是由一个被塞满的人统治的。 “
And, so far as they knew, they were quite right.
他们知道,他们是对的。
The morning after the balloon had gone up with Oz, the four travelers met in the Throne Room and talked matters over.
在气球和奥兹一起升起后,四位出行者在王座室相会并讨论事务.
The Scarecrow sat in the big throne and the others stood respectfully before him.
稻草人坐在大王位上,其他人则恭敬地站在他面前.
“We are not so unlucky,” said the new ruler, “for this Palace and the Emerald City belong to us, and we can do just as we please.
新统治者说,“我们不是那么不幸,因为这座宫殿和翡翠城属于我们,我们可以照我们的意愿去做。
When I remember that a short time ago I was up on a pole in a farmer’s cornfield, and that now I am the ruler of this beautiful City, I am quite satisfied with my lot.”
当我记得不久前我在农民的玉米地上站起一杆子, 现在我是这个美丽的城市的统治者, 我对我的命运很满意。 “
“I also,” said the Tin Woodman, “am well-pleased with my new heart; and, really, that was the only thing I wished in all the world.”
“我,”锡木人说,“我对我的新心非常满意;实际上,这是我在世界上唯一的愿望。 “
“For my part, I am content in knowing I am as brave as any beast that ever lived, if not braver,” said the Lion modestly.
狮子谦虚地说,“就我而言,我知道我和曾经活着的野兽一样勇敢,如果不是更勇敢的话。”
“If Dorothy would only be contented to live in the Emerald City,” continued the Scarecrow, “we might all be happy together.”
“如果桃乐西只满足于生活在翡翠城,”稻草人继续说,“我们也许都很开心。 “
“But I don’t want to live here,” cried Dorothy.
但我不想住在这里,
“I want to go to Kansas, and live with Aunt Em and Uncle Henry.”
“我想去堪萨斯州,与Em姨妈和Henry叔叔住在一起。 “
“Well, then, what can be done?”
“那么,可以做些什么呢? “
inquired the Woodman.
问木人.
The Scarecrow decided to think, and he thought so hard that the pins and needles began to stick out of his brains.
稻草人决定思考,他深思熟虑,于是针头和针头开始从他脑子里伸出来.
Finally he said: “Why not call the Winged Monkeys, and ask them to carry you over the desert?”
他最后说道:"为什么不叫小猴子们来,叫他们带你过沙漠? “
“I never thought of that!”
“我从未想过!”
said Dorothy joyfully.
桃乐丝很高兴
“It’s just the thing.
“事情就是这样。
I’ll go at once for the Golden Cap.”
我马上去买"金帽"".
When she brought it into the Throne Room she spoke the magic words, and soon the band of Winged Monkeys flew in through the open window and stood beside her.
当她把它带入王座房间时,她会说出魔法的话来,很快,"翼猴"乐队从开阔的窗口飞入并站到她身边.
“This is the second time you have called us,” said the Monkey King, bowing before the little girl.
“这是你第二次给我们打电话,”猴王说,你向小女孩鞠躬。
“What do you wish?”
“你想怎样? “
“I want you to fly with me to Kansas,” said Dorothy.
多萝西说,“我要你和我一起飞去堪萨斯。
But the Monkey King shook his head.
但猴王摇出头来.
“That cannot be done,” he said.
他说,“这是不可能的。”
“We belong to this country alone, and cannot leave it.
“我们属于这个国家,不能离开这个国家。
There has never been a Winged Monkey in Kansas yet, and I suppose there never will be, for they don’t belong there.
堪萨斯州从未出现过一只翼猴,
We shall be glad to serve you in any way in our power, but we cannot cross the desert.
我们很乐意以任何方式服务你 但我们不能穿越沙漠
Good-bye.”
再见。”
And with another bow, the Monkey King spread his wings and flew away through the window, followed by all his band.
并用另一把弓,猴王将翅膀展出并从窗外飞走,接著他所有的乐队.
Dorothy was ready to cry with disappointment.
桃乐丝准备失望地哭泣.
“I have wasted the charm of the Golden Cap to no purpose,” she said, “for the Winged Monkeys cannot help me.”
她说,“我白白浪费了"金帽"的魅力,“因为翼起猴帮帮不了我。 “
“It is certainly too bad!”
“这实在太糟糕了!”
said the tender- hearted Woodman.
温柔的伍德曼说
The Scarecrow was thinking again, and his head bulged out so horribly that Dorothy feared it would burst.
稻草人又在想,他的头大发大发,以至于多萝西担心会爆炸.
“Let us call in the soldier with the green whiskers,” he said, “and ask his advice.”
他说,“让我们用绿胡子召来这名士兵吧。” “
So the soldier was summoned and entered the Throne Room timidly, for while Oz was alive he never was allowed to come farther than the door.
于是士兵被叫来,胆怯地进入了王座之室,因为当奥兹活着的时候,他从未被允许走得比门更远.
“This little girl,” said the Scarecrow to the soldier, “wishes to cross the desert.
稻草人对士兵说,“这个小女孩想穿越沙漠。
How can she do so?”
她怎么能这么做? “
“I cannot tell,” answered the soldier, “for nobody has ever crossed the desert, unless it is Oz himself.”
士兵回答说,“我不能说,”“没有人穿过过沙漠,除非是奥兹本人。 “
“Is there no one who can help me?”
“难道没有人可以帮助我吗? “
asked Dorothy earnestly.
恳求多萝西
“Glinda might,” he suggested.
“Glinda可能,”他建议。
“Who is Glinda?”
“谁是Glinda? “
inquired the Scarecrow.
问稻草人.
“The Witch of the South.
“南方女巫。
She is the most powerful of all the Witches, and rules over the Quadlings.
她是巫师中最有势力的 统治四方
Besides, her castle stands on the edge of the desert, so she may know a way to cross it.”
此外,她的城堡还站在沙漠的边缘上,因此她可能知道如何穿越. “
“Glinda is a Good Witch, isn’t she?”
「Glinda是個好女巫, “
asked the child.
问孩子。
“The Quadlings think she is good,” said the soldier, “and she is kind to everyone.
这名士兵说,“四方认为她很好,她对每个人都是好人。
I have heard that Glinda is a beautiful woman, who knows how to keep young in spite of the many years she has lived.”
我听说格琳达是个美丽的女人 她知道如何保持年轻 尽管她生活多年。 “
“How can I get to her castle?”
“我怎样才能到达她的城堡? “
asked Dorothy.
问多萝西。
“The road is straight to the South,” he answered, “but it is said to be full of dangers to travelers.
他回答说,“这条路是通向南方的,但据说对旅行者来说充满了危险。
There are wild beasts in the woods, and a race of queer men who do not like strangers to cross their country.
树林里有野兽 一群不喜欢陌生人穿越祖国的怪人
For this reason none of the Quadlings ever come to the Emerald City.”
因此四方无一来翡翠城. “
The soldier then left them and the Scarecrow said: “It seems, in spite of dangers, that the best thing Dorothy can do is to travel to the Land of the South and ask Glinda to help her.
这名士兵随后离开了他们,稻草人说:“尽管有危险,但似乎桃乐西所能做的最好的事情是去南方之地去请格琳达帮助她。
For, of course, if Dorothy stays here she will never get back to Kansas.”
当然,如果多萝西留在这里 她就再也回不到堪萨斯了 “
“You must have been thinking again,” remarked the Tin Woodman.
“你一定又在想,”Tin Woodman说:
“I have,” said the Scarecrow.
稻草人说:“我已经,”
“I shall go with Dorothy,” declared the Lion, “for I am tired of your city and long for the woods and the country again.
“我要跟多萝西去”,狮子说:“因为我厌倦了你们的城市,又渴望森林和国家。
I am really a wild beast, you know.
我真的是野兽,你知道的。
Besides, Dorothy will need someone to protect her.”
此外,多萝西需要有人来保护她. “
“That is true,” agreed the Woodman.
“这是真的”,伍德曼同意。
“My axe may be of service to her; so I also will go with her to the Land of the South.”
“我的斧头或许能为她效劳;所以我也将同她去南方之地。 “
“When shall we start?”
“我们何时开始? “
asked the Scarecrow.
问稻草人.
“ Are you going?”
“...... 你要去吗? “
they asked, in surprise.
他们突然问起
“Certainly.
“当然。
If it wasn’t for Dorothy I should never have had brains.
如果不是桃乐西,我不应该有脑子。
She lifted me from the pole in the cornfield and brought me to the Emerald City.
她把我从玉米地的柱子上抬起来,把我带到了翡翠城.
So my good luck is all due to her, and I shall never leave her until she starts back to Kansas for good and all.”
所以我的好运气全归功于她, 我永远不会离开她 直到她开始回到堪萨斯州为好和所有。 “
“Thank you,” said Dorothy gratefully.
Dorothy感激地说,“谢谢你”。
“You are all very kind to me.
“你们对我很好。
But I should like to start as soon as possible.”
但我希望尽快开始。 “
“We shall go tomorrow morning,” returned the Scarecrow.
“我们明天早上去”,稻草人回来了。
“So now let us all get ready, for it will be a long journey.”
“现在让我们都做好准备,因为这将是漫长的旅程。 “
The next morning Dorothy kissed the pretty green girl good-bye, and they all shook hands with the soldier with the green whiskers, who had walked with them as far as the gate.
次日早晨多萝西接吻了漂亮绿姑娘的道别,他们都用绿胡子和士兵握手相接,士兵和他们一起走到大门.
When the Guardian of the Gates saw them again he wondered greatly that they could leave the beautiful City to get into new trouble.
当盖茨的守护者再次见到他们时,他非常想知道他们能否离开美丽的城市去陷入新的麻烦.
But he at once unlocked their spectacles, which he put back into the green box, and gave them many good wishes to carry with them.
但是他立刻解开了他们的眼镜, 他把眼镜放回了绿盒子里, 给了他们许多好的愿望 带着他们。
“You are now our ruler,” he said to the Scarecrow; “so you must come back to us as soon as possible.”
他对稻草人说:“你现在是我们的统治者”,“所以你必须尽快回到我们身边。 “
“I certainly shall if I am able,” the Scarecrow replied; “but I must help Dorothy to get home, first.”
稻草人回答道:“但首先我必须帮助多萝西回家。 “
As Dorothy bade the good-natured Guardian a last farewell she said: “I have been very kindly treated in your lovely City, and everyone has been good to me.
Dorothy为这位善良的守护者告别了最后一次,她说:“我在你可爱的城市受到了非常友好的待遇,每个人都对我很好。
I cannot tell you how grateful I am.”
我不能告诉你我有多感激 “
“Don’t try, my dear,” he answered.
他回答说,
“We should like to keep you with us, but if it is your wish to return to Kansas, I hope you will find a way.”
“我们希望你留在我们身边,但如果你想返回堪萨斯,我希望你能找到办法。 “
He then opened the gate of the outer wall, and they walked forth and started upon their journey.
然后他打开了外墙的大门,他们走了出去,开始了他们的旅程。
The sun shone brightly as our friends turned their faces toward the Land of the South.
太阳照亮,当我们的朋友 转向他们的面朝南方的土地。
They were all in the best of spirits, and laughed and chatted together.
他们都是精神最好的, 并笑和聊天在一起。
Dorothy was once more filled with the hope of getting home, and the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman were glad to be of use to her.
桃乐西再次满怀回家的希望,稻草人和丁木人很高兴对她有用.
As for the Lion, he sniffed the fresh air with delight and whisked his tail from side to side in pure joy at being in the country again, while Toto ran around them and chased the moths and butterflies, barking merrily all the time.
至于"狮子",他以欢快的气息嗅出新鲜的空气,从一面向一面挥出尾巴来,纯粹的欢快地再次来到了这个国家;而托多则在他们周围跑来跑去追赶蛾子和蝴蝶,不断欢快地叫叫.
“City life does not agree with me at all,” remarked the Lion, as they walked along at a brisk pace.
《狮子报》说,“城市生活完全不同意我的观点,”他们走得很快。
“I have lost much flesh since I lived there, and now I am anxious for a chance to show the other beasts how courageous I have grown.”
“自从我在那里生活以来,我失去了许多肉体,现在我渴望有机会向其他野兽展示我成长的勇气。 “
They now turned and took a last look at the Emerald City.
他们现在转过身来 最后看看翡翠城
All they could see was a mass of towers and steeples behind the green walls, and high up above everything the spires and dome of the Palace of Oz.
他们只看到绿墙后有大批高塔和尖顶 高过奥兹宫的螺旋和穹顶
“Oz was not such a bad Wizard, after all,” said the Tin Woodman, as he felt his heart rattling around in his breast.
Tin Woodman说:“Oz毕竟不是那么坏的巫师,”因为他的胸口有心跳。
“He knew how to give me brains, and very good brains, too,” said the Scarecrow.
稻草人说,“他知道如何给我大脑和非常好的大脑。”
“If Oz had taken a dose of the same courage he gave me,” added the Lion, “he would have been a brave man.”
“如果奥兹用他给我的同一种勇气,”狮子还说,“他本会是一个勇敢的人。 “
Dorothy said nothing.
桃乐丝什么都没说
Oz had not kept the promise he made her, but he had done his best, so she forgave him.
奥兹没有遵守他对她的承诺 但他尽力了 所以她原谅了他
As he said, he was a good man, even if he was a bad Wizard.
如他所说,他是一个好人,即使他是一个坏巫师.
The first day’s journey was through the green fields and bright flowers that stretched about the Emerald City on every side.
第一天的旅程是穿过绿地和鲜花,
They slept that night on the grass, with nothing but the stars over them; and they rested very well indeed.
当晚,他们只睡在草地上,他们安然地休息。
In the morning they traveled on until they came to a thick wood.
早晨,他们旅行到一个茂密的树林去。
There was no way of going around it, and they did not dare change the direction of their journey for fear of getting lost.
没有办法绕道而去,他们因为害怕迷路而不敢改变行走的方向.
So they looked for the place where it would be easiest to get into the forest.
所以他们寻找一个最容易进入森林的地方。
The Scarecrow, who was in the lead, finally discovered a big tree with such wide-spreading branches that there was room for the party to pass underneath.
处于领先的稻草人终于发现了一棵大树,树上树枝很宽广,可以让党从下面经过.
So he walked forward to the tree, but just as he came under the first branches they bent down and twined around him, and the next minute he was raised from the ground and flung headlong among his fellow travelers.
于是他走到了树上,但是就在他来到了最初的树枝下,他们弯起腰来,围绕他结成双胞胎;第二天,他从地上被抬起,在他的同行中摇起头来。
This did not hurt the Scarecrow, but it surprised him, and he looked rather dizzy when Dorothy picked him up.
这并没有伤害稻草人,但让他吃惊了,当多萝西接他的时候他看起来相当晕眩.
“Here is another space between the trees,” called the Lion.
“这里是树之间的又一空间,”叫做狮子。
“Let me try it first,” said the Scarecrow, “for it doesn’t hurt me to get thrown about.”
稻草人说:“让我先试试, “
He walked up to another tree, as he spoke, but its branches immediately seized him and tossed him back again.
他走上另一棵树,当时他说话,但树上的树枝立即抓住了他,并再次把他扔回去。
“This is strange,” exclaimed Dorothy.
“这很奇怪”,Dorothy说。
“What shall we do?”
“我们该怎么办? “
“The trees seem to have made up their minds to fight us, and stop our journey,” remarked the Lion.
狮子说,“这些树似乎已经下定决心与我们作对,并阻止我们的旅程。”
“I believe I will try it myself,” said the Woodman, and shouldering his axe, he marched up to the first tree that had handled the Scarecrow so roughly.
“我相信我会自己试试,”伍德曼说,“他举起斧头,走到第一棵如此粗略地处理稻草人的树上。
When a big branch bent down to seize him the Woodman chopped at it so fiercely that he cut it in two.
当一个大树枝弯下来抓他时,木人猛烈地砍了起来,他把它一分为二。
At once the tree began shaking all its branches as if in pain, and the Tin Woodman passed safely under it.
树一被摇动 就好像在痛苦中一样 锡木人从树下安全地经过
“Come on!”
"来吧!"
he shouted to the others.
他对其他人大喊大叫
“Be quick!”
"快点!"
They all ran forward and passed under the tree without injury, except Toto, who was caught by a small branch and shaken until he howled.
他们都向前跑去并毫无伤害地从树下走去,除了托托被一枝小枝被抓住并被震动到他叫喊.
But the Woodman promptly chopped off the branch and set the little dog free.
但木人迅速砍下树枝放出小狗.
The other trees of the forest did nothing to keep them back, so they made up their minds that only the first row of trees could bend down their branches, and that probably these were the policemen of the forest, and given this wonderful power in order to keep strangers out of it.
森林中的其他树木没有做任何使它们退后的事,所以他们下定决心,只有一排树木能弯下分枝,而且这些可能是森林的警察,为了让陌生人远离而赋予了这种奇妙的力量.
The four travelers walked with ease through the trees until they came to the farther edge of the wood.
四个行人轻松地走入了树上,直到他们来到了更远的木头边缘.
Then, to their surprise, they found before them a high wall which seemed to be made of white china.
然后,他们惊奇地发现,在他们面前有一道高墙,似乎是用白瓷制成的。
It was smooth, like the surface of a dish, and higher than their heads.
它很平滑,就像盘子的表面, 比他们的头还高.
