Chapter One: The Cyclone
Dorothy lived in a small house in Kansas, with Uncle Henry, Aunt Em, and a little black dog called Toto.
多萝西和亨利叔叔、埃姆婶婶，还有一只名叫托托的小黑狗，一起住在堪萨斯州的一座小房子里。
There were no trees and no hills in Kansas, and it was often very windy.
堪萨斯州没有树木，也没有山丘，而且经常刮大风。
Sometimes the wind came very fast and very suddenly.
有时候，风刮得又快又突然。
That was a cyclone, and it could blow trees and people and buildings away.
那是龙卷风，它能把树木、人和建筑物都卷走。
There were cellars under all the houses.
所有的房子底下都有地窖。
And when a cyclone came, people went down into their cellars and stayed there.
当龙卷风来袭时，人们就会躲进地窖里待着。
One day, Uncle Henry came out and looked up at the sky.
有一天，亨利叔叔走到屋外，抬头看了看天空。
Then he ran quickly back into the house.
然后他飞快地跑回屋里。
'There's a cyclone coming,' he called to Aunt Em and Dorothy, 'We must go down into the cellar!'
“龙卷风要来了！”他朝埃姆婶婶和多萝西喊道，“我们必须马上进地窖！”
They ran to the door of the cellar, but Toto was afraid, and he ran under the bed.
他们跑向地窖的门，可是托托害怕了，钻到了床底下。
Dorothy ran after him.
多萝西赶紧追了过去。
'Quick!' shouted Aunt Em from the cellar. 'Leave the dog and come down into the cellar!'
“快点！”埃姆婶婶在地窖里大喊，“别管狗了，快下地窖来！”
Dorothy picked up Toto and ran to the cellar door.
多萝西抱起托托，跑向地窖的门。
But before she got there, the cyclone hit the house.
但还没等她跑到，龙卷风就袭击了房子。
And then a very strange thing happened.
接着，一件非常奇怪的事情发生了。
The house moved, and then it went slowly up, up, up into the sky.
房子摇晃起来，然后慢慢地、慢慢地升上了天空。
Aunt Em and Uncle Henry were down in the cellar under the ground, but the house, Dorothy, and Toto went up to the top of the cyclone.
埃姆婶婶和亨利叔叔在地下地窖里，但房子、多萝西和托托却被卷到了龙卷风的顶端。
Dorothy looked through the open cellar door and saw hills and houses, a long way down.
多萝西透过敞开的地窖门往下看，看到了很远很远的山丘和房屋。
She closed the cellar door quickly.
她赶紧关上了地窖的门。
The wind blew the house along for many hours.
风把房子吹着飞了好几个小时。
At first, Dorothy was afraid.
起初，多萝西很害怕。
'But we can't do anything about it,' she said to Toto. 'So let's wait and see.'
“但我们对此也无能为力，”她对托托说，“所以我们就等等看吧。”
And after two or three hours, she and Toto went to sleep.
两三个小时后，她和托托睡着了。
When Dorothy opened her eyes again, the house was on the ground and everything was quiet.
当多萝西再次睁开眼睛时，房子已经落在地上，四周一片寂静。
She picked up Toto, opened the door, and went out.
她抱起托托，打开门走了出去。
They saw tall trees and beautiful flowers, and little houses with blue doors.
他们看到了高大的树木、美丽的花朵，还有带着蓝色门的小房子。
Dorothy gave a little cry, 'This isn't Kansas, Toto! And who are these people?'
多萝西轻呼了一声：“托托，这里不是堪萨斯！这些人又是谁呀？”
There were three very short men in blue hats, coats and trousers, and a little old woman in a beautiful white dress.
那里有三个戴着蓝帽子、穿着蓝色外套和裤子的矮个子男人，还有一位穿着漂亮白裙子的矮小老妇人。
The woman walked up to Dorothy and said, 'Thank you, thank you! Now the people are free!'
那位妇人走到多萝西面前说：“谢谢你，太感谢了！现在人们自由了！”
'Why are you thanking me?' Dorothy asked.
“你为什么谢我呀？”多萝西问。
'You killed the Witch of the East,' said the woman, 'She was a bad witch, and her people, the Munchkins, were very afraid of her. Now she is dead, and we and the Munchkins want to thank you.'
“你杀死了东方女巫，”妇人说，“她是个坏女巫，她的人民——芒奇金人非常害怕她。现在她死了，我们和芒奇金人都想感谢你。”
The little old woman and the three little men all smiled happily at Dorothy, but Dorothy did not understand.
矮小的老妇人和三个矮个子男人都开心地朝多萝西微笑，但多萝西并不明白。
'But I didn't kill anybody, ' She said.
“可我什么人也没杀呀，”她说。
'Your house fell on the witch,' laughed the little woman, 'Look, you can see her feet.'
“你的房子砸到了女巫身上，”小妇人笑着说，“你看，你能看到她的脚。”
Dorothy looked and saw two feet with red shoes under the house.
多萝西低头一看，果然看到房子底下露出两只穿着红鞋的脚。
Suddenly, one of the Munchkins gave a shout, 'Look, her feet are disappearing in the hot sun.'
突然，一个芒奇金人大喊：“快看，她的脚在烈日下消失了！”
And a second later, there were only the red shoes.
一秒钟后，就只剩下那双红鞋了。
'Good,' said the little woman.
“太好了，”小妇人说。
She picked up the shoes and gave them to Dorothy, 'they're your shoes now. You must wear them, because a witch's shoes can sometimes do wonderful things.'
她捡起鞋子递给多萝西：“现在这双鞋归你了。你必须穿上它们，因为女巫的鞋子有时能施展奇妙的魔法。”
'Thank you,' said Dorothy, 'But who are you? Are you a munchkin?'
“谢谢你，”多萝西说，“但你是谁？你是芒奇金人吗？”
'No, but I'm their friend. I'm the Witch of the North and I came to see the dead Witch of the East. But don't be afraid, I am a good witch.'
“不是，但我是他们的朋友。我是北方女巫，我来看看死去的东方女巫。不过别怕，我是个善良的女巫。”
'But Aunt Em says there aren't any witches.'
“可是埃姆婶婶说这世上根本没有女巫。”
'Oh yes, there are,' said the witch, 'here in the country of Oz, we have four witches. The witches of the North and the South are good witches, but those of the East and the West are bad witches. Now the Witch of the East is dead. So, there is only one bad witch. We have a famous wizard too, we call him the Wizard of Oz, and he lives in the Emerald city. How many witches and wizards do you have in your country?'
“哦，有的，”女巫说，“在奥兹国，我们有四位女巫。北方和南方的女巫是善良的，而东方和西方的女巫则是邪恶的。现在东方女巫死了，所以只剩下一个坏女巫了。我们还有一位著名的魔法师，我们叫他奥兹魔法师，他住在翡翠城。你们国家有多少女巫和魔法师呢？”
'We don't have any,' said Dorothy.
“我们那里一个也没有，”多萝西说。
Suddenly, she remembered Aunt Em and uncle Henry.
突然，她想起了埃姆婶婶和亨利叔叔。
'How can I get back home to Kansas?', She asked.
“我怎样才能回到堪萨斯的家呢？”她问。
'Where is Kansas?', asked the good witch, 'I don't know a country called Kansas, so I can't tell you the way.'
“堪萨斯在哪里？”善良的女巫问，“我不知道有个叫堪萨斯的地方，所以我没法给你指路。”
Dorothy began to cry.
多萝西哭了起来。
'Oh dear, what can I do? Please don't cry,' said the witch.
“哎呀，这可怎么办？求你别哭，”女巫说。
'Go and see the Wizard of Oz. He's a good wizard and perhaps he can help you. It's a long way and you must walk there. I can't go with you, but I can give you my kiss.'
“去找奥兹魔法师吧。他是个好魔法师，也许他能帮到你。路很远，你必须走着去。我不能陪你一起去，但我可以给你一个吻。”
She gave Dorothy a little kiss.
她轻轻地吻了多萝西一下。
It looked like a small red flower on Dorothy's face.
那个吻在多萝西的脸上留下了一个小红花的印记。
'Now nothing can hurt you,' she said, 'Look, there is the road to the Emerald city. It is made of yellow bricks, so you cannot lose your way. Good bye.'
“现在没有任何东西能伤害你了，”她说，“你看，那就是通往翡翠城的路。它是用黄砖铺成的，所以你不会迷路的。再见。”
'Good bye,' said the three little Munchkins.
“再见，”三个小芒奇金人说。
In the house, Dorothy found some bread and some apples, and she put them all in a bag.
多萝西在屋里找到了一些面包和苹果，把它们全都装进了一个袋子里。
Then she put on her blue and white dress.
然后，她穿上了那件蓝白相间的裙子。
'And now I looked nice,' she said.
“现在我看起来漂亮多了，”她说。
She looked down at her old shoes.
她低头看了看自己脚上的旧鞋。
Then she remembered the bad witch's red shoes and put them on.
接着，她想起了坏女巫的红鞋，便把它们穿上了。
She picked up her bag of food.
她拿起装满食物的袋子。
'Come on, Toto.' She called, 'we are going to find the Wizard of Oz. '
“走吧，托托，”她喊道，“我们要去找奥兹魔法师了。”
