Glinda leaned forward and kissed the sweet, upturnedface of the loving little girl.

甘林达俯向前去，吻着这个可爱的小女孩子的脸颊。

"Bless yourdear heart," she said, "I am sure I can tell you of a way to get backto Kansas."  Then she added,"But, if I do, you must give me the Golden Cap."

“祝福你的好心，”她说，“我一定能够告诉你回到堪萨斯州去的路，”于是她再说道：“但是，倘使我要做了，你必须把这顶金冠送给我。”

"Willingly!"exclaimed Dorothy; "indeed, it is of no use to me now, and when you haveit you can command the Winged Monkeys three times."

“愿意的！”多萝茜喊出来，“真的，现在这顶帽子对于我没有用处了，但当你有了它时，可以命令飞猴服务三次。”

"And I think I shall need their service justthose three times," answered Glinda, smiling.

甘林达微笑地回答：“我想我需要它们的服务，恰好只须三次。”

Dorothy then gave her the Golden Cap, and the Witchsaid to the Scarecrow, "What will you do when Dorothy has left us?"

于是多萝茜把金冠授给了她。女巫向稻草人问道：“当多萝茜离开我们去了，你将怎么样？”

"I will return to the Emerald City," hereplied, "for Oz has made me its ruler and the people like me.  The only thing that worries me is how tocross the hill of the Hammer-Heads."

“我将回到翡翠城去，”他回答说，“因为奥芝叫我做那里的领导者，百姓们都喜欢我。唯一使我忧愁的事情，是怎样能越过那大头人的山。”

"By means ofthe Golden Cap I shall command the Winged Monkeys to carry you to the gates ofthe Emerald City," said Glinda, "for it would be a shame to deprivethe people of so wonderful a ruler."

“我将用这顶金冠，召唤飞猴们来，驮你到翡翠城的大门旁，”甘林达说，“因为使百姓们失去像你这样一个神奇的领导者，是可惜的。”

"Am I really wonderful?" asked theScarecrow.

　稻草人问：“我是神奇的吗！”

"You are unusual," replied Glinda.

甘林达回答说：“你是不平凡的。”

Turning to the Tin Woodman, she asked, "What willbecome of you when Dorothy leaves this country?"

她转过来对着铁皮人，问道：　“当多萝茜离开了这里，你将怎么样！”

He leaned on his axe and thought a moment.  Then he said, "The Winkies were verykind to me, and wanted me to rule over them after the Wicked Witch died.  I am fond of the Winkies, and if I could getback again to the Country of the West, I should like nothing better than torule over them forever."

铁皮人斜倚在他的斧头上，想了一会儿，随后说道：“温基人都对待我很好，在恶女巫死去了以后，他们要求我去领导他们。我也喜欢温基人，如果我能够再回到西方的国土里去，我应当再没有别的什么东西，比在那里永久领导着他们的事更加喜欢。”

"My second command to the Winged Monkeys,"said Glinda "will be that they carry you safely to the land of theWinkies.  Your brain may not be so largeto look at as those of the Scarecrow, but you are really brighter than heis--when you are well polished-- and I am sure you will rule the Winkies wiselyand well."

“我第二次召唤飞猴们来，”甘林达说，“它们将驮着你平安地到温基国去。你的脑子看起来不像稻草人那么大，但是你真的比他更明亮—一当你擦亮的时候一—我相信你将聪明地好好地领导着温基人。”

Then the Witch looked at the big, shaggy Lion andasked, "When Dorothy has returned to her own home, what will become ofyou?"

于是女巫看着那只巨大的多毛的狮子，并且问道：“当多萝茜回到她自己的家里去时，你将怎么样！”

"Over thehill of the Hammer-Heads," he answered, "lies a grand old forest, andall the beasts that live there have made me their King.  If I could only get back to this forest, Iwould pass my life very happily there."

“越过了大头人山，”它回答说，“到那个很古的森林里，住在那里的许多野兽们，把我看作是它们的皇帝。如果我能够回到那里去，我将非常快乐地度过我的一生。”

"My third command to the Winged Monkeys,"said Glinda, "shall be to carry you to your forest.  Then, having used up the powers of the GoldenCap, I shall give it to the King of the Monkeys, that he and his band maythereafter be free for evermore."

“我第三次召唤飞猴们来，”甘林达说，“将驮着你到你的森林中去。于是，这顶金冠的魔力用完了，我将把它还给猴王，让它和它的部下以后可以永远自由自在了。”
