The Wonderful Wizard of Oz — Page 5

Chinese → English Chapter II Level 3/10

我知道这是真的,因为我自己就是其中之一,不会弄错的。

I know this is true, for I am one of them myself, and cannot be mistaken.

住在东方和西方的,确实是邪恶的女巫;但现在你已经杀死了其中一个,整个奥兹国只剩下一个邪恶女巫了——那个住在西方的女巫。

Those who dwelt in the East and the West were, indeed, wicked witches; but now that you have killed one of them, there is but one Wicked Witch in all the Land of Oz—the one who lives in the West.

多萝西思考了片刻后说:"但是,埃姆婶婶告诉过我,那些女巫早就都死了——很多很多年前的事了。"

"But," said Dorothy, after a moment's thought, "Aunt Em has told me that the witches were all dead—years and years ago."

那位小老太太问道:"埃姆婶婶是谁?"

"Who is Aunt Em?" inquired the little old woman.

多萝西说:"她是我的婶婶,住在堪萨斯,我就是从那里来的。"

"She is my aunt who lives in Kansas, where I came from."

北方女巫似乎低着头、目视地面,沉思了一会儿。

The Witch of the North seemed to think for a time, with her head bowed and her eyes upon the ground.

然后她抬起头说:"我不知道堪萨斯在哪里,因为我从未听说过那个地方。"

Then she looked up and said, "I do not know where Kansas is, for I have never heard that country mentioned before.

但请告诉我,那是一个文明的国家吗?"

But tell me, is it a civilized country?"

多萝西回答说:"哦,是的。"

"Oh, yes," replied Dorothy.

女巫说:"那就说得通了。在文明国家里,我相信已经没有女巫了,也没有魔法师、女术士或魔术师。"

"Then that accounts for it. In the civilized countries I believe there are no witches left, nor wizards, nor sorceresses, nor magicians.

但你看,奥兹国从未被文明化过,因为我们与世界其他地方完全隔绝。所以我们这里仍然有女巫和魔法师。"

But, you see, the Land of Oz has never been civilized, for we are cut off from all the rest of the world. Therefore we still have witches and wizards amongst us."

多萝西问:"那些魔法师是谁?"

"Who are the wizards?" asked Dorothy.

女巫压低声音轻声说道:"奥兹本人就是伟大的魔法师。他比我们所有人加在一起都要强大。"

"Oz himself is the Great Wizard," answered the Witch, sinking her voice to a whisper. "He is more powerful than all the rest of us together.
