The Wonderful Wizard of Oz — Page 7

English → Chinese Chapter II Level 3/10

"At the East, not far from here," said one, "there is a great desert, and none could live to cross it."

「在东方，离这里不远，」一个人说，「有一片大沙漠，没有人能活着穿越它。」

"It is the same at the South," said another, "for I have been there and seen it. The South is the country of the Quadlings."

「南方也是如此，」另一个人说，「因为我去过那里，亲眼见过。南方是夸德林人的国度。」

"I am told," said the third man, "that it is the same at the West. And that country, where the Winkies live, is ruled by the Wicked Witch of the West, who would make you her slave if you passed her way."

「我听说，」第三个人说，「西方也是一样。那片温基人居住的国度，由西方邪恶女巫统治，如果你经过她的地盘，她会把你变成她的奴隶。」

"The North is my home," said the old lady, "and at its edge is the same great desert that surrounds this Land of Oz. I'm afraid, my dear, you will have to live with us."

「北方是我的家，」老太太说，「在它的边缘是同样的大沙漠，包围着这片奥兹国土。恐怕，我亲爱的，你将不得不和我们一起生活了。」

Dorothy began to sob at this, for she felt lonely among all these strange people.

多萝西听到这话便开始哭泣，因为她在这些陌生人中间感到孤独。

Her tears seemed to grieve the kind-hearted Munchkins, for they immediately took out their handkerchiefs and began to weep also.

她的眼泪似乎让善良的芒奇金人也感到悲伤，因为他们立刻掏出手帕，也开始哭了起来。

As for the little old woman, she took off her cap and balanced the point on the end of her nose, while she counted "One, two, three" in a solemn voice.

至于那位小老太太，她摘下帽子，将帽尖平衡在鼻尖上，同时用庄严的声音数着「一，二，三」。

At once the cap changed to a slate, on which was written in big, white chalk marks:

帽子立刻变成了一块石板，上面用大大的白色粉笔字写着：

"LET DOROTHY GO TO THE CITY OF EMERALDS"

「让多萝西前往翡翠城」

The little old woman took the slate from her nose, and having read the words on it, asked, "Is your name Dorothy, my dear?

小老太太从鼻子上取下石板，读了上面的字后，问道：「你的名字是多萝西吗，我亲爱的？」
