“許多年前，曾有人要見奧芝，”他疑惑不解地?fù)u著頭說。
"He is powerful and terrible, and if you come on an idle or foolish errand to bother the wise reflections of the Great Wizard, he might be angry and destroy you all in an instant."
“他是有力量的，并且可怕的，假如你們因為一個空想，或者以一些可笑的事情，去打擾這個大魔術(shù)師，會使他憤怒，立刻把你們一起殺掉?！?/div>
"But it is not a foolish errand, nor an idle one," replied the Scarecrow; "it is important. And we have been told that Oz is a good Wizard."
“我們可不是為愚笨的事情，也不是一個空想，”稻草人解釋說；“事情是非常重要的。而且我們聽說，奧芝是一個好心腸的魔術(shù)家?！?/div>
"So he is," said the green man, "and he rules the Emerald City wisely and well.

I am the Guardian of the Gates, and since you demand to see the Great Oz I must take you to his Palace.

But first you must put on the spectacles." "Why?" asked Dorothy.
然而你們首先得戴上眼鏡。”多蘿茜問：“必須要戴嗎？”

“假如你們不戴眼鏡，那翡翠城燦爛的亮光，將會射瞎你們的眼睛。
Even those who live in the City must wear spectacles night and day.

They are all locked on, for Oz so ordered it when the City was first built,
