"But Toto!" said the girl anxiously. "What will protect him?"
小女孩子緊張地說：“但是托托！用什么來保護它？”
"We must protect him ourselves if he is in danger," replied the Tin Woodman.
鐵皮人回答說：“如果它遇到危險，我們會全力的保護它。”
Just as he spoke there came from the forest a terrible roar, and next moment a great Lion bounded into the road.
就在他們說話的時候，一個可怕的吼聲從森林中傳來。接著一只大獅子突然出現在路當中；
With one blow of his paw he sent the Scarecrow spinning over and over to the edge of the road,
它用它的爪襲擊稻草人，把稻草人打得旋轉了好幾次；
and then he struck at the Tin Woodman with his sharp claws.
然后它用尖銳的爪子，抓著鐵皮人。
But, to the Lion's surprise, he could make no impression on the tin, although the Woodman fell over in the road and lay still.
但是獅子卻抓傷不了鐵皮人，這倒使它嚇了一跳，雖然鐵皮人已經跌倒在路邊，僵硬地躺著。
Little Toto, now that he had an enemy to face, ran barking toward the Lion, and the great beast had opened his mouth to bite the dog,
現在，小托托面對著龐然大物，沖上前去向獅子吠著，這只大野獸就張開它的嘴想去咬這只小狗。
when Dorothy, fearing Toto would be killed, and heedless of danger, rushed forward and slapped the Lion upon his nose as hard as she could, while she cried out:
這時候，多蘿茜怕托托會被咬死，不顧一切，沖向前去，盡力猛摑著獅子的鼻子，她高聲地叫起來：
"Don't you dare to bite Toto.
“你怎么能咬托托。
You ought to be ashamed of yourself, a big beast like you, to bite a poor little dog!"
咬一只瘦弱的小狗，像你這么大的野獸，你應當自覺慚愧！”
"I didn't bite him," said the Lion, as he rubbed his nose with his paw where Dorothy had hit it.
“我并沒有咬到它，”獅子說話時，摸著自己的鼻子，那里正是給多蘿茜打中的地方。
"No, but you tried to," she retorted.
“不，你正準備咬，”她反駁著。
