The Wonderful Wizard of Oz — Page 6
He lives in the City of Emeralds."
他住在翡翠城。"
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.
多萝西正要再问一个问题，但就在这时，一直静静站在旁边的芒奇金人大声喊叫起来，指向那个邪恶女巫曾经躺着的房屋角落。
"What is it?" asked the little old woman, and looked, and began to laugh.
「那是什么？」那个小老太太问道，她望去，然后开始大笑。
The feet of the dead Witch had disappeared entirely, and nothing was left but the silver shoes.
那个死去的女巫的双脚已经完全消失了，什么都没有剩下，只留下那双银鞋。
"She was so old," explained the Witch of the North, "that she dried up quickly in the sun.
「她太老了，」北方女巫解释道，「她在阳光下很快就风干了。
That is the end of her.
她就这样结束了。
But the silver shoes are yours, and you shall have them to wear."
但那双银鞋是你的，你可以穿上它们。」
She reached down and picked up the shoes, and after shaking the dust out of them handed them to Dorothy.
她弯下身捡起那双鞋，把里面的灰尘抖掉之后，将它们递给了多萝西。
"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."
「东方女巫非常珍视那双银鞋，」一个芒奇金人说，「它们身上有某种魔力；但那是什么魔力，我们从来都不知道。」
Dorothy carried the shoes into the house and placed them on the table.
多萝西把那双鞋带进屋里，放在桌子上。
Then she came out again to the Munchkins and said:
然后她再次走出来，来到芒奇金人面前，说道：
"I am anxious to get back to my aunt and uncle, for I am sure they will worry about me.
「我很着急回去找我的姑姑和叔叔，因为我确定他们会为我担心的。
Can you help me find my way?"
你们能帮我找到回去的路吗？」
The Munchkins and the Witch first looked at one another, and then at Dorothy, and then shook their heads.
芒奇金人和女巫先是互相对望，然后看向多萝西，接着都摇了摇头。
