1级-《绿野仙踪》第14课

前情提要  

老头儿告诉大家，他不是个真正的魔法师，只是个走街串巷变魔术的人，因为一次气球的事故降落到了奥兹国。他给所有人做了绿色的眼镜，所以让绿宝石城看上去是绿的。老头儿还表示，虽然自己不会魔法，但能和大家一起钻进气球，也许风能带他们回家……

 

故事原文  

The Wizard of Oz L14

绿野仙踪 L14

 

The next morning the friends came again to the Wizard's room. The old man was ready.⑴ He took a bottle with BRAINS on it in big green letters, and carefully opened the Scarecrow's head.

第二天早上，这几个朋友重新来到魔法师的屋里。老头儿已经准备就绪了。他拿出一个瓶子，瓶子上用绿色的字母写着两个大字“智慧”。他小心翼翼地打开稻草人的脑袋。

 

'Don't move. I'm putting your brains in,' he said. 'There—now you're the cleverest scarecrow in Oz.'⑵ The Scarecrow thanked him.

“别动，我要把智慧放入你的脑袋里，”老头儿说，“好——你现在是奥兹国最聪明的稻草人了。”稻草人谢过了老头儿。

 

Next the Wizard gave the Tin Man a small red heart. 'Wear this always.' he said.

然后老头儿又给了锡人一颗小小的红色的心。他说：“一直戴着它。”

The Tin Man was very happy and thanked the Wizard again and again.⑶

锡人非常高兴，不停地感谢老头儿。

Then the old man took a bottle with BE BRAVE on it. 'Drink this.' he said to the Cowardly Lion.

接着，老头儿拿出一个贴着“勇敢”标签的瓶子。“喝下去。”他对胆小鬼狮子说。

The Lion drank. 'Yes. Yes. I feel brave!' he shouted. 'Very, very brave! Thank you!'

狮子喝了下去。“是的，是的。我感到自己有勇气了！”他大叫道，“非常非常的勇敢！谢谢你！”

 

The Wizard smiled at them. 'You didn't need my magic,' he said. 'But you're all happy now, and that's a good thing.⑷ Now, Dorothy,' he said, 'come and see my balloon. It's all ready. I mended it last night.'

魔法师微笑着望着他们。“你们并不需要我的魔法。”他说，“但你们现在很开心，这就好。现在，多萝西，”他说，“来看看我的气球，它已经准备就绪，我昨晚把它修好了。”

 

They went out into the garden behind the Wizard's house. The balloon was very big. There was a small box under it, and the Wizard of Oz jumped into the box.

他们一起走到魔法师房子后面的花园里。气球很大，下面挂了一个小箱子。魔法师跳进箱子里。

 

'Come on, Dorothy!' he shouted.⑸ 'We're going to Kansas. Say goodbye to your friends.'

“多萝西，来呀！”他大喊，“我们要回堪萨斯去了，和你的朋友们告别吧。”

 

Dorothy kissed the Scarecrow, the Lion, and the Tin Man, and said goodbye. 'Come on, Toto,' she said. 'We're going home to Kansas. We're going to see Aunt Em and Uncle Henry.'

多萝西一一吻了稻草人、狮子和锡人，并与他们道了别。“走，托托，”她说，“我们就要回家了，我们就要见到埃姆舅妈和亨利舅舅了。”

 

But just then Toto saw a cat. He jumped out of Dorothy's arms and ran after it.

但就在那时，托托看见了一只猫。它跳出多萝西的手臂，追了过去。

 

'Toto!' called Dorothy, and she began to run after him.

“托托！”多萝西大叫，开始追它。
