"There is nothing to be done," said the little woman calmly.

「没有什么可以做的了，」小女人平静地说。

"But who was she?" asked Dorothy.

「但她是谁？」桃乐丝问道。

"She was the Wicked Witch of the East, as I said," answered the little woman.

「她就是东方的邪恶女巫，正如我所说的，」小女人回答道。

"She has held all the Munchkins in bondage for many years, making them slave for her night and day.

「她把所有的芒奇金人奴役了许多年，让他们日夜为她劳作。

Now they are all set free, and are grateful to you for the favor."

现在他们都获得了自由，并对你的恩惠心存感激。」

"Who are the Munchkins?" inquired Dorothy.

「芒奇金人是谁？」桃乐丝询问道。

"They are the people who live in this land of the East where the Wicked Witch ruled."

「他们是住在这片东方土地上的人，邪恶女巫曾统治着这里。」

"Are you a Munchkin?" asked Dorothy.

「你是芒奇金人吗？」桃乐丝问道。

"No, but I am their friend, although I live in the land of the North.

「不，但我是他们的朋友，虽然我住在北方的土地上。

When they saw the Witch of the East was dead the Munchkins sent a swift messenger to me, and I came at once.

当他们看到东方女巫死了，芒奇金人便派了一位快使来找我，我立刻就来了。

I am the Witch of the North."

我是北方的女巫。」

"Oh, gracious!" cried Dorothy.

「哦，天哪！」桃乐丝叫道。

"Are you a real witch?"

「你是真正的女巫吗？」

"Yes, indeed," answered the little woman.

「是的，当然，」小女人回答道。

"But I am a good witch, and the people love me.

「但我是一个善良的女巫，人们都爱戴我。

I am not as powerful as the Wicked Witch was who ruled here, or I should have set the people free myself."

我没有曾经统治这里的邪恶女巫那么强大，否则我早就亲自解放了这里的人们。」

"But I thought all witches were wicked," said the girl, who was half frightened at facing a real witch.

「但我以为所有的女巫都是邪恶的，」女孩说道，她面对一个真正的女巫时心中有些害怕。

"Oh, no, that is a great mistake.

「哦，不，那是一个很大的误解。

There were only four witches in all the Land of Oz, and two of them, those who live in the North and the South, are good witches.

整个奥兹国只有四个女巫，其中两个，也就是住在北方和南方的那两个，是善良的女巫。
