Chapter 11. The Wonderful City of Oz
第11章 神奇的翡翠城
Even with eyes protected by the green spectacles, Dorothy and her friends were at first dazzled by the brilliancy of the wonderful City.
多蘿茜一行人雖帶著綠墨鏡，但當他們踏進這座神奇的城市時，就被它炫麗的光芒迷住了。
The streets were lined with beautiful houses all built of green marble and studded everywhere with sparkling emeralds.
街道上都是漂亮的翡翠房子，房子各處都鑲嵌著閃閃發亮的翡翠。
They walked over a pavement of the same green marble, and where the blocks were joined together were rows of emeralds, set closely, and glittering in the brightness of the sun.
他們走在用同樣綠大理石鋪砌的人行道上，這是用一塊一塊的翡翠緊密地銜接起來造成的，一行一行的，被明亮的太陽照得燦爛閃爍。
The window panes were of green glass; even the sky above the City had a green tint, and the rays of the sun were green.
一塊塊的窗子都鑲嵌著綠色的玻璃；即使城市上的天空也發出一種淡淡的綠色，太陽的光線給染成綠的了。
There were many people--men, women, and children--walking about, and these were all dressed in green clothes and had greenish skins.
在街道上，來來往往的人群，男人、女人和孩子們，都穿著綠色的衣服，連皮膚也是淡綠色。
They looked at Dorothy and her strangely assorted company with wondering eyes, and the children all ran away and hid behind their mothers when they saw the Lion; but no one spoke to them.
他們都用異樣的目光注視著多蘿茜和她的朋友們，當他們看見了獅子，嚇得孩子們都逃走了，或者躲到他們母親的身后，卻沒有一個人跟他們說話。
Many shops stood in the street, and Dorothy saw that everything in them was green.
街上店鋪林立，多蘿茜發現店里面的每一件東西都是綠色的。
Green candy and green pop corn were offered for sale, as well as green shoes, green hats, and green clothes of all sorts.
出售綠的糖果，綠的爆玉蜀黍，還有各種各樣的綠鞋子、綠帽子和綠衣衫。
At one place a man was selling green lemonade, 'get your green lemonade here, get your green lemonade here,' and when the children bought it Dorothy could see that they paid for it with green pennies.
多蘿茜轉眼看到另一個地方，有一個人出售綠的檸檬水，“這里有檸檬水，這里有檸檬水，”孩子們去買它時，她看見他們拿出的錢也是綠的。
There seemed to be no horses nor animals of any kind; the men carried things around in little green carts, which they pushed before them.
街上好像沒有馬，也沒有其他的獸類；綠色小小的兩輪貨車上運載著貨物，他們在前面拉著。
Everyone seemed happy and contented and prosperous.
看上去每一個人都很愉快、滿足、安寧而且幸福。
