CHAPTER 4
TURKISH DELIGHT（6）
第4章 土耳其软糖（6）

  Edmund was already feeling uncomfortable（不舒服的） from having eaten too many sweets, and when he heard that the Lady he had made friends with（交朋友） was a dangerous witch he felt even（甚至；更） more uncomfortable. But he still wanted to taste that Turkish Delight again more than he wanted anything else.

    "Who told you all that stuff（内容；东西） about the White Witch?" he asked.  

     "Mr Tumnus, the Faun," said Lucy.  

    "You can't always believe what Fauns say," said Edmund, trying to sound as if he knew far more（多得多的） about them than Lucy.  

     "Who said so?" asked Lucy.  

    "Everyone knows it," said Edmund; "ask anybody you like. But it's pretty poor sport（乐趣；消遣） standing here in the snow. Let's go home."  

    "Yes, let's," said Lucy. "Oh, Edmund, I am glad you've got in too. The others will have to believe in Narnia now that（既然，由于） both of us have been there. What fun it will be!"  

     But Edmund secretly（私下里） thought that it would not be as good fun for him as for her. He would have to admit（承认） that Lucy had been right, before all the others, and he felt sure the others would all be on the side of the Fauns and the animals; but he was already more than half on the side of the Witch. He did not know what he would say, or how he would keep his secret once they were all talking about Narnia.  

  By this time they had walked a good way（走了好远的路）. Then suddenly they felt coats around them instead of branches and next moment they were both standing outside the wardrobe in the empty room.  

     "I say（喂）," said Lucy, "you do look awful（难看的）, Edmund. Don't you feel well?"  

     "I'm all right," said Edmund, but this was not true. He was feeling very sick（不舒服的） .  

    "Come on then," said Lucy, "let's find the others. What a lot we shall have to tell them! And what wonderful adventures we shall have now that we're all in it together."
