The Wonderful Wizard of Oz — Page 2
他们没有她一直以来见过的大人那么高大，但也算不上很矮小。
They were not as big as the grown folk she had always been used to; but neither were they very small.
事实上，他们的身高似乎和多萝西差不多——多萝西对她的年龄来说算是个发育良好的孩子——尽管就外貌而言，他们看起来要年长许多岁。
In fact, they seemed about as tall as Dorothy, who was a well-grown child for her age, although they were, so far as looks go, many years older.
其中三人是男性，一人是女性，所有人的穿着都十分奇特。
Three were men and one a woman, and all were oddly dressed.
他们戴着圆帽，帽顶在头上方约一英尺处收成一个小尖，帽檐四周缀着小铃铛，随着他们的走动发出悦耳的叮当声。
They wore round hats that rose to a small point a foot above their heads, with little bells around the brims that tinkled sweetly as they moved.
男士们的帽子是蓝色的；那位小个子女士的帽子是白色的，她还穿着一件白色长裙，从肩部垂落成褶皱。
The hats of the men were blue; the little woman's hat was white, and she wore a white gown that hung in pleats from her shoulders.
裙子上点缀着闪亮的小星星，在阳光下像钻石一样闪闪发光。
Over it were sprinkled little stars that glistened in the sun like diamonds.
男士们穿着蓝色服装，与他们帽子的颜色相同，还穿着擦得锃亮的靴子，靴筒顶部有一圈深蓝色的翻折。
The men were dressed in blue, of the same shade as their hats, and wore well-polished boots with a deep roll of blue at the tops.
多萝西心想，这几位男士的年纪大约和亨利叔叔差不多，因为其中两人留着胡须。
The men, Dorothy thought, were about as old as Uncle Henry, for two of them had beards.
但那位小个子女士无疑要年长得多。
But the little woman was doubtless much older.
她的脸上布满皱纹，头发几乎全白了，走路也有些僵硬。
Her face was covered with wrinkles, her hair was nearly white, and she walked rather stiffly.
当这些人走近多萝西站在门口的那所房子时，他们停下脚步，互相低声耳语，好像害怕再往前走一步似的。
When these people drew near the house where Dorothy was standing in the doorway, they paused and whispered among themselves, as if afraid to come farther.
