The morning after the balloon had gone up with Oz, the four travelers met in the Throne Room and talked matters over.
就在奧芝乘坐著輕氣球，飛升去了的那個早晨，四個旅行者聚集在宮殿里，討論事情。
The Scarecrow sat in the big throne and the others stood respectfully before him.
稻草人坐在偉大的寶座上，其它三個的很恭敬地站在他的面前。
"We are not so unlucky," said the new ruler,
新的國王說：“我們真的很幸運，
"for this Palace and the Emerald City belong to us, and we can do just as we please.
因為這個宮殿和這個翡翠城，都是我們的了，我們能做我們喜歡做的事。
When I remember that a short time ago I was up on a pole in a farmer's cornfield,
我當然沒有忘記從前，我被吊在農民的稻田中的竹竿上面，
and that now I am the ruler of this beautiful City, I am quite satisfied with my lot."
現在，我卻是這個綠色的城市的統治者了，我非常滿足這樣的生活。”
"I also," said the Tin Woodman, "am well-pleased with my new heart;
“我也是，”鐵皮人說，“我喜歡我那顆新的心；
and, really, that was the only thing I wished in all the world."
真的，在整個世界上，我唯一看重的東西。”
"For my part, I am content in knowing I am as brave as any beast that ever lived, if not braver," said the Lion modestly.
“至于我，只要知道我和所有活著的野獸相比，哪怕不是最勇敢的，只是一個勇敢者，我便滿足了，”獅子謙遜地說。
"If Dorothy would only be contented to live in the Emerald City," continued the Scarecrow, "we might all be happy together."
稻草人繼續說：“如果多蘿茜也愿意住在翡翠城中，我們四個就能一塊兒快快活活生活了。”
"But I don't want to live here," CRIed Dorothy.
“可我不愿意住在這里，”多蘿茜叫著說，
"I want to go to Kansas, and live with Aunt Em and Uncle Henry."
“我想回堪薩斯州去，和愛姆嬸嬸、亨利叔叔住在一塊兒。”
"Well, then, what can be done?" inquired the Woodman.
“唔，那么，有什么辦法呢？”鐵皮人問。
