"You will be very welcome," answered Dorothy, "for you will help to keep away the other wild beasts.
“非常歡迎你，”多蘿茜回答說，“你的吼叫可以嚇走別的野獸們。
It seems to me they must be more coward than you are they allow you to scare them so easily."
我覺得，既然它們這樣容易地被你嚇走，他們必定比你更加膽小。”
"They really are," said the Lion, "but that doesn't make me any braver, and as long as I know myself to be a coward I shall be unhappy."
“確實是這樣，”獅子說，“但是這些卻不能使我變得勇敢些。 只要知道自己是一個膽小鬼，我就不會快樂的。”
So once more the little company set off upon the journey, the Lion walking with stately strides at Dorothy side.
于是這個小團體出發了，獅子威嚴地走在多蘿茜的身邊。
Toto did not approve this new comrade at first, for he could not forget how nearly he had been crushed between the Lion's great jaws.
托托起初不同意這個新同伴，因為他無法忘記自己差點兒在獅子的大嘴里被撕碎。
But after a time he became more at ease, and presently Toto and the Coward Lion had grown to be good friends.
然而沒過多久，托托變得友善了，現在它和這只膽小的獅子逐漸地變成朋友了。
During the rest of that day there was no other adventure to mar the peace of their journey.
之后的那一天，再也沒有別的冒險出現去打斷旅途的平靜。
Once, indeed, the Tin Woodman stepped upon a beetle that was crawling along the road, and killed the poor little thing.
一次，鐵皮人踏死了一只正在沿路爬行的甲蟲。
This made the Tin Woodman very unhappy, for he was always careful not to hurt any living creature; and as he walked along he wept several tears of sorrow and regret.
這就使得鐵皮人非常難受，因為他不愿意去損傷任何旁的有生命的東西；他向前走著，掉了幾滴難過惋惜的眼淚。
This tears ran slowly down his face and over the hinges of his jaw, and there they rusted.
這些眼淚慢慢地從他的臉上淌下來，流過他的下顎的鉸鏈，它們發銹了。
