No one would think of biting such a little thing, except a coward like me," continued the Lion sadly.
除非是我這個膽小鬼，否則是沒有誰會去咬這樣的一個小東西，”獅子羞愧地繼續說。
"What makes you a coward?" asked Dorothy, looking at the great beast in wonder, for he was as big as a small horse.
你怎么會變成膽小鬼呢？”多蘿茜問，驚奇地注視著這只大野獸，它就跟一匹小馬一樣大。
"It's a mystery," replied the Lion. "I suppose I was born that way.
“這我也不知道，”獅子回答說。“我想我生下來就是這樣的。
All the other animals in the forest naturally expect me to be brave, for the Lion is everywhere thought to be the King of Beasts.
森林中的一切野獸，都以為我是勇敢的，因為在任何一個地方，獅子都是百獸之王。
I learned if I roared very loudly every living thing was frightened and got out fo my way.
我知道動物們一聽到我的吼聲就會害怕，逃開我的視線。”
Whenever I've met a man I've been awfully scared; but I just roared at him, and he has always run away as fast as he could go.
不論何時只要我遇到一個人就非常害怕。但只要我對他吼叫，他就會立刻逃走。
If the elephants and the tigers and the bears had ever tried to fight me, I should have run myself--I'm such a coward; but just as soon as they hear me roar they all try to get away from me, and of course I let them go."
如果象、老虎和熊，要想和我挑戰，我就想逃走了——我就是這樣的一個膽小鬼；但是它們只要聽到我吼叫以后，就會立刻逃開，當然，我只能讓它們逃掉?！?/p>
"But that isn't right. The King of the Beasts shouldn't be a coward," said the Scarecrow.
“這似乎不合常理。百獸之王不該是個膽小鬼，”稻草人說。
"I know it," returned the Lion, wiping a tear from his eye with the tip of his tail.
我也知道這個，”獅子回答說，用它尾巴末梢擦去從眼里滾出來的淚水，
"It is my great sorrow, and makes my life very unhappy.
“這是我最大的煩惱，讓我的生活非常不愉快。
But whenever there is danger, my heart begins to beat fast."
因為每逢我遇到危險的時候，我的心跳就開始加速?！?/div>
"Perhaps you have a heart disease," said the Tin Woodman.
