The Wonderful Wizard of Oz — Page 6
He lives in the City of Emeralds."
彼はエメラルドの都に住んでいます。」
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.
ドロシーはもう一つ質問しようとしていましたが、ちょうどそのとき、そばで静かに立っていたマンチキンたちが大きな声を上げ、悪い魔女が倒れていた家の角を指差しました。
"What is it?" asked the little old woman, and looked, and began to laugh.
「何ですか？」と小さなおばあさんは尋ね、見て、笑い始めました。
The feet of the dead Witch had disappeared entirely, and nothing was left but the silver shoes.
死んだ魔女の足は完全に消えてしまい、銀の靴だけが残っていました。
"She was so old," explained the Witch of the North, "that she dried up quickly in the sun.
「彼女はとても年を取っていたので」と北の魔女は説明しました、「太陽の下ですぐに干からびてしまったのです。
That is the end of her.
これで彼女は終わりです。
But the silver shoes are yours, and you shall have them to wear."
でも銀の靴はあなたのものです、履いてください。」
She reached down and picked up the shoes, and after shaking the dust out of them handed them to Dorothy.
彼女はかがんで靴を拾い上げ、埃を払ってからドロシーに手渡しました。
"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."
「東の魔女はあの銀の靴を誇りにしていました」とマンチキンの一人が言いました、「そして何か魔法がかかっているのですが、それが何なのか私たちにはわかりませんでした。」
Dorothy carried the shoes into the house and placed them on the table.
ドロシーは靴を家の中に持って行き、テーブルの上に置きました。
Then she came out again to the Munchkins and said:
それからまたマンチキンたちのところへ出て来て言いました。
"I am anxious to get back to my aunt and uncle, for I am sure they will worry about me.
「おばさんとおじさんのところへ帰りたいのです、きっと心配しているに違いありませんから。
Can you help me find my way?"
帰り道を見つける手助けをしてもらえますか？」
The Munchkins and the Witch first looked at one another, and then at Dorothy, and then shook their heads.
マンチキンたちと魔女はまず互いに顔を見合わせ、それからドロシーを見て、首を横に振りました。
