The Wonderful Wizard of Oz — Page 5

English → Chinese Chapter I Level 3/10

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.

它在房间里跑来跑去，一会儿这里，一会儿那里，大声地吠叫着；但桃乐茜却静静地坐在地板上，等着看会发生什么事。

Once Toto got too near the open trap door, and fell in; and at first the little girl thought she had lost him.

有一次，托托离那扇打开的活板门太近，掉了进去；起初小女孩以为她失去了他。

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.

但很快她就看到他的一只耳朵从洞口竖了出来，因为强大的气压将他托住，使他无法下落。

She crept to the hole, caught Toto by the ear, and dragged him into the room again, afterward closing the trap door so that no more accidents could happen.

她爬到洞口，抓住托托的耳朵，把他拖回房间，然后关上活板门，以免再发生意外。

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.

一个小时又一个小时过去了，桃乐茜慢慢地从恐惧中平静下来；但她感到十分孤独，四周的风呼啸得如此响亮，几乎要把她震聋。

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.

起初她曾担心房子再次落地时会被摔得粉碎；但随着时间一小时一小时地过去，什么可怕的事情都没有发生，她便不再担忧，决心平静地等待，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.

最后，她爬过那摇晃的地板，来到床边，躺了上去；托托也跟着过来，躺在她身旁。

In spite of the swaying of the house and the wailing of the wind, Dorothy soon closed her eyes and fell fast asleep.

尽管房子不停地摇晃，风声不停地呼号，桃乐茜还是很快闭上眼睛，沉沉地睡着了。
