In Part 10 of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Oz and Dorothy build a balloon to carry themselves across the Great Desert, but an accident launches the balloon without Dorothy aboard.

在"神奇的奥兹巫师"第十部中,奥兹和多萝西建造了一座气球来携带自己穿越"大沙漠",但一场事故将没有多萝西上船的气球发射出.

The companions decide to travel south to the land of the Quadlings to ask Glinda the Good Witch for help.

同伴们决定向南出行到四方之地去向好女巫克林达求救.

They successfully pass the fighting trees of the forest and come to a wall made of white china.

他们成功穿过了森林的战斗树并来到了由白瓷所制成的一堵墙上.

Dorothy lay down and slept, for she was tired by the long walk.

多萝西躺下睡觉 因为她受了长途跋涉

The Lion also curled himself up to sleep and Toto lay beside him.

狮子也卷起身来睡觉 托托躺在他旁边

The Scarecrow watched the Woodman while he worked, and said to him: “I cannot think why this wall is here, nor what it is made of.”

稻草人一边看木人一边工作,一边对他说道:"我无法想象这道墙为什么在这里,也无法想象它是由什么而成. “

“Rest your brains and do not worry about the wall,” replied the Woodman.

伍德曼回答说,

“When we have climbed over it, we shall know what is on the other side.”

“当我们爬上它时,我们将知道另一边是什么。 “

After a time the ladder was finished.

过了一段时间,梯子就完成了。

It looked clumsy, but the Tin Woodman was sure it was strong and would answer their purpose.

它看起来很笨拙, 但锡木人肯定 它很强,并会回答他们的目的。

The Scarecrow waked Dorothy and the Lion and Toto, and told them that the ladder was ready.

稻草人唤醒了多萝西和狮子和托多,并告诉他们梯子已经准备好了.

The Scarecrow climbed up the ladder first, but he was so awkward that Dorothy had to follow close behind and keep him from falling off.

稻草人先爬上梯子,但他非常尴尬,以至于多萝西不得不跟在后方并阻止他掉下.

When he got his head over the top of the wall the Scarecrow said, “Oh, my!”

当他把头撞到墙上时,稻草人说道,“哦,我的天!”

“Go on,” exclaimed Dorothy.

"继续,"赞美多萝西。

So the Scarecrow climbed farther up and sat down on the top of the wall, and Dorothy put her head over and cried, “Oh, my!”

于是稻草人爬上更远并坐在墙上,多萝西把头放在地上并叫道:"哦!

just as the Scarecrow had done.

就像稻草人那样

Then Toto came up, and immediately began to bark, but Dorothy made him be still.

后来托托上来,并立刻开始叫叫起,但多萝西让他静静地.

The Lion climbed the ladder next, and the Tin Woodman came last; but both of them cried, “Oh, my!”

狮子接下来爬上梯子,锡木人最后来到;但两人都喊道:"哦!

as soon as they looked over the wall.

当他们一看墙。

When they were all sitting in a row on the top of the wall, they looked down and saw a strange sight.

当他们都坐在墙上一排地上时,他们向下看,看到了一个奇怪的景象.

Before them was a great stretch of country having a floor as smooth and shining and white as the bottom of a big platter.

在他们之前,有一块光滑而光辉和白色的地上 一片大盘子的底部。

Scattered around were many houses made entirely of china and painted in the brightest colors.

到处是许多完全由瓷器制成并被漆成最明亮颜色的房屋.

These houses were quite small, the biggest of them reaching only as high as Dorothy’s waist.

这些房子很小,其中最大的只有多萝西的腰高。

There were also pretty little barns, with china fences around them; and many cows and sheep and horses and pigs and chickens, all made of china, were standing about in groups.

还有漂亮的小谷仓,周围有瓷栅;许多牛羊和马,猪和鸡,都由瓷器所制成,群起而立.

But the strangest of all were the people who lived in this queer country.

但最奇怪的是生活在这个基佬国家的人。

There were milkmaids and shepherdesses, with brightly colored bodices and golden spots all over their gowns; and princesses with most gorgeous frocks of silver and gold and purple; and shepherds dressed in knee breeches with pink and yellow and blue stripes down them, and golden buckles on their shoes; and princes with jeweled crowns upon their heads, wearing ermine robes and satin doublets; and funny clowns in ruffled gowns, with round red spots upon their cheeks and tall, pointed caps.

有乳母和牧羊女,衣服上有明亮的彩色身体和金色斑点;有银花和金花和紫花花最华丽的公主;有牧羊女穿起膝布衣,下有粉花和黄花和蓝花条纹,鞋上有金色的扣子;有王子戴着珠宝花冠,戴着墨水长袍和相接的双发;有滑稽的小丑穿起花裙来,脸颊上有圆红色斑点并有高高高的指帽.

And, strangest of all, these people were all made of china, even to their clothes, and were so small that the tallest of them was no higher than Dorothy’s knee.

最奇怪的是,这些人都是用瓷器制成的,甚至连衣服也一样,而且身子也很小,最高的都不比多萝西的膝盖高.

No one did so much as look at the travelers at first, except one little purple china dog with an extra-large head, which came to the wall and barked at them in a tiny voice, afterwards running away again.

起初没有人像看旅行者那样多,只有一只头部超大的小紫色瓷狗,它来到墙上用很小的声音叫叫着他们,后又跑去.

“How shall we get down?”

“我们怎么下去? “

asked Dorothy.

问多萝西。

They found the ladder so heavy they could not pull it up, so the Scarecrow fell off the wall and the others jumped down upon him so that the hard floor would not hurt their feet.

他们发现梯子太重,无法拉起来,于是稻草人从墙上倒下而其他人也跳倒在他上,这样硬地上不会伤到脚.

Of course they took pains not to light on his head and get the pins in their feet.

当然,他们痛不欲生,不点他头部,取出脚上的针.

When all were safely down they picked up the Scarecrow, whose body was quite flattened out, and patted his straw into shape again.

当所有人都安全下来时,他们捡起稻草人, 他的身体相当平整, 并把它的稻草重新拍成形状。

“We must cross this strange place in order to get to the other side,” said Dorothy, “for it would be unwise for us to go any other way except due South.”

Dorothy说,“我们必须越过这个奇怪的地方,才能到达另一边。” “

They began walking through the country of the china people, and the first thing they came to was a china milkmaid milking a china cow.

他们开始走遍了瓷器民族的国度,他们首先来到的是一位用瓷器奶娘挤出一头瓷牛.

As they drew near, the cow suddenly gave a kick and kicked over the stool, the pail, and even the milkmaid herself, and all fell on the china ground with a great clatter.

当他们走近时,牛突然踢倒并踢倒了凳子,活桶,甚至奶娘自己,都用一记巨大的相片倒在了瓷地上.

Dorothy was shocked to see that the cow had broken her leg off, and that the pail was lying in several small pieces, while the poor milkmaid had a nick in her left elbow.

多萝西惊呆地看到牛把腿弄断了,被活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活活

“There!”

那边!

cried the milkmaid angrily.

愤怒地哭了奶娘。

“See what you have done!

“看看你们做了什么!

My cow has broken her leg, and I must take her to the mender’s shop and have it glued on again.

我的母牛断了腿,我必须带她去药店,再把它粘上。

What do you mean by coming here and frightening my cow?”

你来这里吓唬我的牛是什么意思? “

“I’m very sorry,” returned Dorothy.

“我很抱歉,”Dorothy回来了。

“Please forgive us.”

“请原谅我们。”

But the pretty milkmaid was much too vexed to make any answer.

但漂亮的奶娘太烦了 无法回答问题

She picked up the leg sulkily and led her cow away, the poor animal limping on three legs.

她抬起那条柔软的腿,带出她的牛去,那可怜的动物在三条腿上瘸了.

As she left them the milkmaid cast many reproachful glances over her shoulder at the clumsy strangers, holding her nicked elbow close to her side.

当她离开他们时,奶娘对笨手笨脚的陌生人进行了许多责难的一面,紧紧地抱住她被扣的肘子。

Dorothy was quite grieved at this mishap.

桃乐西对这场灾难很伤心

“We must be very careful here,” said the kind-hearted Woodman, “or we may hurt these pretty little people so they will never get over it.”

“我们必须非常小心,”善良的伍德曼说,“否则我们可能会伤害这些漂亮的小人,使他们永远忘不了。 “

A little farther on Dorothy met a most beautifully dressed young Princess, who stopped short as she saw the strangers and started to ru n away.

离桃乐西更远一点,就遇到了一位穿得最美的年轻公主,她在看到陌生人后短暂地停下来并开始离去.

Dorothy wanted to see more of the Princess, so she ran after her.

多萝西想多见一见公主,于是追来.

But the china girl cried out: “Don’t chase me!

但中国女孩喊道:"不要追我!

Don’t chase me!”

别追我! “

She had such a frightened little voice that Dorothy stopped and said, “Why not?”

她有这么一个被吓倒的声音,多萝西停下来说道:"为什么不呢? “

“Because,” answered the Princess, also stopping, a safe distance away, “if I run I may fall down and break myself.”

“因为,”公主回答说,“也停下来,在安全距离之外,“如果我逃跑,我可能会倒下并自碎。 “

“But could you not be mended?”

“但是,难道你不会被修正吗? “

asked the girl.

问女孩。

“Oh, yes; but one is never so pretty after being mended, you know,” replied the Princess.

“哦,是的;但一个人在被修正后从未如此漂亮。”

“I suppose not,” said Dorothy.

Dorothy说,“我想不是。”

“Now there is Mr.

“现在有特别报告员。

Joker, one of our clowns,” continued the china lady, “who is always trying to stand upon his head.

小丑,我们小丑之一,”继续说,“她总是试图站在他头上。

He has broken himself so often that he is mended in a hundred places, and doesn’t look at all pretty.

他经常自相残杀,

Here he comes now, so you can see for yourself.”

他来了,让你自己看 “

Indeed, a jolly little clown came walking toward them, and Dorothy could see that in spite of his pretty clothes of red and yellow and green he was completely covered with cracks, running every which way and showing plainly that he had been mended in many places.

事实上,一个欢快的小小丑走来走去,桃乐西可以看到,尽管他漂亮的衣服是红、黄和绿色的,他完全被缝了起来,到处跑,并清楚地显示他在许多地方被整了。

The Clown put his hands in his pockets, and after puffing out his cheeks and nodding his head at them saucily, he said: “My lady fair, Why do you stare At poor old Mr.

小丑把手放入口袋里,在把脸颊抽出并朝他们点头后,他说:“夫人公平,你为什么盯着可怜的老先生看?

Joker?

小丑吗?

You’re quite as stiff And prim as if You’ d eaten up a poker!”

你这么僵硬 就像你吃了扑克一样! “

“Be quiet, sir!”

"安静,先生!"

said the Princess.

说公主。

“Can’t you see these are strangers, and should be treated with respect?”

难道你看不出这些是陌生人, “

“Well, that’s respect, I expect,” declared the Clown, and immediately stood upon his head.

“我期望,这就是尊重”小丑,并立即站在他头上。

“Don’t mind Mr.

" 别介意,

Joker,” said the Princess to Dorothy.

小丑,”公主对多萝西说。

“He is considerably cracked in his head, and that makes him foolish.”

“他的脑袋被打得一团糟,这使他愚蠢。 “

“Oh, I don’t mind him a bit,” said Dorothy.

我不介意他,

“But you are so beautiful,” she continued, “that I am sure I could love you dearly.

她接着说,“但你如此美丽”,“我相信我可以非常爱你。

Won’t you let me carry you back to Kansas, and stand you on Aunt Em’s mantel?

让我把你带回堪萨斯,

I could carry you in my basket.”

我可以把你抬进我的篮子里 “

“That would make me very unhappy,” answered the china Princess.

“那会让我很不高兴。”

“You see, here in our country we live contentedly, and can talk and move around as we please.

“你看,在我国,我们生活愉快,可以畅所欲言地走动。

But whenever any of us are taken away our joints at once stiffen, and we can only stand straight and look pretty.

但是,每当我们任何人被带走 我们的关节一时僵硬, 我们只能站直,看起来漂亮。

Of course that is all that is expected of us when we are on mantels and cabinets and drawing-room tables, but our lives are much pleasanter here in our own country.”

当然,当我们坐在壁炉、柜子和画室桌上时,这是我们所期望的,但我们在自己国家的生活却更加愉快。 “

“I would not make you unhappy for all the world!”

“我不会使你为全世界感到不快! “

exclaimed Dorothy.

赞叹多萝西.

“So I’ll just say good-bye.”

“所以我只说再见。 “

“Good-bye,” replied the Princess.

“再见”,公主回答说。

They walked carefully through the china country.

他们仔细地走过瓷器国.

The little animals and all the people scampered out of their way, fearing the strangers would break them, and after an hour or so the travelers reached the other side of the country and came to another china wall.

小畜生和所有被骗走的人,都害怕陌生人会打倒他们,一个多小时后,出行者到达了另一边并来到了另一个瓷墙.

It was not so high as the first, however, and by standing upon the Lion’s back they all managed to scramble to the top.

然而,它并没有像第一次那样高,通过站在狮子背上,它们都设法向上爬去。

Then the Lion gathered his legs under him and jumped on the wall; but just as he jumped, he upset a china church with his tail and smashed it all to pieces.

后来"狮子"将双腿收起后跳入了墙上;但就在他跳出后,他用尾巴打乱了一座瓷器教堂,并全部砸成碎片.

“That was too bad,” said Dorothy, “but really I think we were lucky in not doing these little people more harm than breaking a cow’s leg and a church.

Dorothy说,“那太糟了,”但实际上,我认为我们很幸运,不做这些小人比打碎牛腿和教堂更有害。

They are all so brittle!”

他们都这么脆弱! “

“They are, indeed,” said the Scarecrow, “and I am thankful I am made of straw and cannot be easily damaged.

稻草人说,“他们确实是”,“我很感激我用稻草制成,不能轻易损坏。

There are worse things in the world than being a Scarecrow.”

世上还有比稻草人更糟糕的事 “

After climbing down from the china wall the travelers found themselves in a disagreeable country, full of bogs and marshes and covered with tall, rank grass.

在从瓷墙上爬下后,旅行者发现自己在一个不祥的国家中,充满了沼泽和沼泽地,并被高高,阶地草所覆盖.

It was difficult to walk without falling into muddy holes, for the grass was so thick that it hid them from sight.

不掉入泥洞就很难行走,因为草的厚度使得它们无法被看见.

However, by carefully picking their way, they got safely along until they reached solid ground.

然而,他们小心翼翼地前进,直到到达稳固的地盘。

But here the country seemed wilder than ever, and after a long and tiresome walk through the underbrush they entered another forest, where the trees were bigger and older than any they had ever seen.

但这里的国家看起来比以往更野,经过漫长而活泼地走过地底后,他们又走入了另一个森林,那里的树木比曾经见过的更大更老.

“This forest is perfectly delightful,” declared the Lion, looking around him with joy.

狮子以欢快的心情环顾四周。

“Never have I seen a more beautiful place.”

“我从未见过一个更美丽的地方。 “

“It seems gloomy,” said the Scarecrow.

稻草人说,

“Not a bit of it,” answered the Lion.

狮子回答说,

“I should like to live here all my life.

“我想一辈子都住在这里。

See how soft the dried leaves are under your feet and how rich and green the moss is that clings to these old trees.

看看你脚下干叶多柔软 苔藓多丰富多绿 紧贴着这些老树

Surely no wild beast could wish a pleasanter home.”

当然没有野兽能希望有一个更舒适的家 “

“Perhaps there are wild beasts in the forest now,” said Dorothy.

Dorothy说,“现在森林里也许有野兽。”

“I suppose there are,” returned the Lion, “but I do not see any of them about.”

狮子回来了,我看不见他们中的任何人。 “

They walked through the forest until it became too dark to go any farther.

他们穿过了森林,直到它变得太黑 无法再往前走。

Dorothy and Toto and the Lion lay down to sleep, while the Woodman and the Scarecrow kept watch over them as usual.

多萝西和托托和"狮子"躺下入睡,而"木人"和"稻草人"则一如既往地一直监视着他们.

When morning came, they started again.

当早晨来临,他们又开始了。

Before they had gone far they heard a low rumble, as of the growling of many wild animals.

在他们走远之前,他们听见一声低声的叫叫声,好象许多野生动物在咆哮一样。

Toto whimpered a little, but none of the others was frightened, and they kept along the well-trodden path until they came to an opening in the wood, in which were gathered hundreds of beasts of every variety.

托多微微地呜咽了一下,但其他人都没有受到惊吓,他们沿着被打得分道扬镳的道路一直走下去,直到他们来到了木头的一个开口处,在那里聚集了上百种种类的野兽.

There were tigers and elephants and bears and wolves and foxes and many others, and for a moment Dorothy was afraid.

曾经有老虎和大象,熊和狼和狐狸等许多,有一会儿多萝西害怕.

But the Lion explained that the animals were holding a meeting, and he judged by their snarling and growling that they were in great trouble.

但"狮子"解释道:"动物们正在开会,他通过他们的咆哮和咆哮判断,他们陷入了大麻烦.

As he spoke several of the beasts caught sight of him, and at once the great assemblage hushed as if by magic.

当他谈到几只野兽时,他看见了这些野兽,他们立刻像被魔法所笼罩。

The biggest of the tigers came up to the Lion and bowed, saying: “Welcome, O King of Beasts!

虎中之最出来于狮子而叩头道:"野兽之王啊!

You have come in good time to fight our enemy and bring peace to all the animals of the forest once more.”

你来得正是时候 与我们的敌人作战 给森林里所有动物带来和平 “

“What is your trouble?”

“你有什么麻烦? “

asked the Lion quietly.

问狮子悄悄地。

“We are all threatened,” answered the tiger, “by a fierce enemy which has lately come into this forest.

老虎回答说,“我们都受到威胁,这是最近进入森林的凶猛敌人的威胁。

It is a most tremendous monster, like a great spider, with a body as big as an elephant and legs as long as a tree trunk.

这是一个最巨大的怪物, 像一只伟大的蜘蛛, 身体像一头大象和腿一样长长的树干。

It has eight of these long legs, and as the monster crawls through the forest he seizes an animal with a leg and drags it to his mouth, where he eats it as a spider does a fly.

它有8条这样的长腿,当怪物从森林中爬过时,他抓住了一只有腿的动物并拖到嘴上,在那里他像蜘蛛一样吃它做苍蝇.

Not one of us is safe while this fierce creature is alive, and we had called a meeting to decide how to take care of ourselves when you came among us.”

当这个凶猛活生生的生物还活着的时候,我们中没有一个是安全的,我们召集了一次会议来决定当你来到我们中间时如何照顾自己. “

The Lion thought for a moment.

狮子一想.

“ Are there any other lions in this forest?”

“...... 森林里还有其他狮子吗? “

he asked.

他问。

“No; there were some, but the monster has eaten them all.

“没有,有的,但怪物把他们都吃了。

And, besides, they were none of them nearly so large and brave as you.”

此外,他们没有你那么大那么勇敢 “

“If I put an end to your enemy, will you bow down to me and obey me as King of the Forest?”

“如果我结束你的敌人,你会向我低头,服从我为"森林之王"吗? “

inquired the Lion.

问狮子。

“We will do that gladly,” returned the tiger; and all the other beasts roared with a mighty roar: “We will!”

“我们会很高兴地这样做,”老虎回来了;所有其他的野兽都大吼: “我们会的!”

“Where is this great spider of yours now?”

“你的这只大蜘蛛现在在哪里? “

asked the Lion.

问狮子.

“Yonder, among the oak trees,” said the tiger, pointing with his forefoot.

“Yonder,在橡树中”,老虎用前脚指着他。

“Take good care of these friends of mine,” said the Lion, “and I will go at once to fight the monster.”

狮子说,“好好照顾我的这些朋友”,“我将立即去同这个怪物战斗。 “

He bade his comrades good-bye and marched proudly away to do battle with the enemy.

他告别战友,骄傲地出走同敌人作战.

The great spider was lying asleep when the Lion found him, and it looked so ugly that its foe turned up his nose in disgust.

大蜘蛛在狮子发现他时正在睡觉,看起来很丑陋,以至于它的敌人翻出他的鼻子令人厌恶.

Its legs were quite as long as the tiger had said, and its body covered with coarse black hair.

它的腿和老虎说的一样长 全身被粗黑发所覆盖

It had a great mouth, with a row of sharp teeth a foot long; but its head was joined to the pudgy body by a neck as slender as a wasp’s waist.

它的口很通畅,一英尺长一排尖牙;但是它的头被一根颈部接入了多毛的身上,像一只黄蜂的腰部一样细.

This gave the Lion a hint of the best way to attack the creature, and as he knew it was easier to fight it asleep than awake, he gave a great spring and landed directly upon the monster’s back.

这给"狮子"暗示了攻击该生物的最佳方法,他知道比起醒悟来更容易与它战斗,所以他给了一粒好春并直接落在了怪物的背上.

Then, with one blow of his heavy paw, all armed with sharp claws, he knocked the spider’s head from its body.

然后,他用一击重爪子,用尖利的爪子将蜘蛛的头从身上打出。

Jumping down, he watched it until the long legs stopped wiggling, when he knew it was quite dead.

跳下来,他看着它 直到长腿停止摇晃, 当他知道它相当死。

The Lion went back to the opening where the beasts of the forest were waiting for him and said proudly: “You need fear your enemy no longer.”

狮子回了森林的野兽在等他的开口地,骄傲地说: “你不再需要害怕你的敌人。 “

Then the beasts bowed down to the Lion as their King, and he promised to come back and rule over them as soon as Dorothy was safely on her way to Kansas.

后来野兽们向狮子鞠躬为他们的国王,他答应一旦多萝西安全地去堪萨斯的路上,就马上回来统治他们.
