Dorothy was quite grieved at this mishap.
多蘿茜因?yàn)榕Ｄ膛傻牟恍遥浅馈?/div>
"We must be very careful here," said the kind-hearted Woodman,
“在這里，我們最好謹(jǐn)慎小心，”善心的鐵皮人說，
"or we may hurt these pretty little people so they will never get over it."
“不然，我們損傷了這些美麗的瓷人兒，我們就永遠(yuǎn)不能過去了。”
A little farther on Dorothy met a most beautifully dressed young Princess, who stopped short as she saw the strangers and started to run away.
走了幾步，多蘿茜遇見一個(gè)穿得最漂亮的年青的公主，然而公主發(fā)現(xiàn)了這些陌生人，停了一停，就轉(zhuǎn)身走了。
Dorothy wanted to see more of the Princess, so she ran after her.
多蘿茜看清楚公主，便去追趕她，
But the china girl cried out: "Don't chase me! Don't chase me!"
但是這個(gè)瓷女郎喊道：“別追趕我！別追趕我！”
She had such a frightened little voice that Dorothy stopped and said, "Why not?"
她的聲音極其微弱，使得多蘿茜停了步，問道：“為什么？”
"Because," answered the Princess, also stopping, a safe distance away, "if I run I may fall down and break myself."
“因?yàn)椋惫饕餐２搅耍糁粋€(gè)相對(duì)安全的距離，然后回答說，“你追我便會(huì)跑，如果跌倒，就會(huì)跌碎了自己。”
"But could you not be mended?" asked the girl.
小女孩子問：“你可以修補(bǔ)呀？”
"Oh, yes; but one is never so pretty after being mended, you know," replied the Princess.
“唉，是的。”公主回答說：“但是你應(yīng)該明白，一個(gè)人在修補(bǔ)過了以后，就很難看了。”
"I suppose not," said Dorothy.
“我也這么想，”多蘿茜說。
"Now there is Mr. Joker, one of our clowns," continued the china lady, "who is always trying to stand upon his head.
“現(xiàn)在，喬克先生就在那邊，他是我們的一個(gè)小丑，”瓷女郎繼續(xù)說道，“他因?yàn)槌３Ｓ妙^站在地上。
He has broken himself so often that he is mended in a hundred places, and doesn't look at all pretty.
摔傷了很多地方，他身上的補(bǔ)釘有一百多個(gè)，因此他變得不好看了。
Here he comes now, so you can see for yourself."
你可以到那邊去看看他。”
