"For what purpose?" "I wanted to get her out of my own world back into her own. I thought I was taking her back to her own place."[qh]
“为什么？”“我想把她带出我们的世界，让她回到她的世界去。我以为我把她带回她的世界了。”[qh]
"How came she to be in your world, Son of Adam?" "By-by Magic." The Lion said nothing and Digory knew that he had not told enough.[qh]
“她是怎么到你们的世界去的，亚当的儿子？”“靠——魔法。”狮子不语。迪格雷知道自己讲得还太少。[qh]
"It was my Uncle, Aslan," he said. "He sent us out of our own world by magic rings, at least I had to go because he sent Polly first, and then we met the Witch in a place called Charn and she just held on to us when-"[qh]
“是我的舅舅，阿斯兰。”他说，“他用魔法戒指把我们送出我们的世界，至少，我是不得不去，因为他把波莉先弄走了，后来，我们在一个叫恰恩的地方遇见了女巫，她抓住了我们当……”[qh]
"You met the Witch?" said Asian in a low voice which had the threat of a growl in it. "She woke up," said Digory wretchedly.[qh]
“你们遇见了女巫？”阿斯兰低低的嗓音带有咆哮式的威胁。“她醒了。”迪格雷沮丧地说；[qh]
And then, turning very white, "I mean, I woke her. Because I wanted to know what would happen if I struck a bell. Polly didn't want to.[qh]
然后，他脸色变得苍白，“我是说，我唤醒了她。因为我想知道如果我敲了钟会发生什么事。波莉不同意这么做的。[qh]
It wasn't her fault. I-I fought her. I know I shouldn't have. I think I was a bit enchanted by the writing under the bell."[qh]
不是她的错。我——我还和她抢起来。我知道我不应该。我想，我是有点儿被钟下面那些字迷惑住了。”[qh]
"Do you?" asked Asian; still speaking very low and deep. "No," said Digory. "I see now I wasn't. I was only pretending." There was a long pause.[qh]
“是吗？”阿斯兰问，声音仍很低沉。“不，”迪格雷说，“我现在明白不是的。我是在找借口。”接下来是长久的停顿。[qh]
And Digory was thinking all the time, "I've spoiled everything. There's no chance of getting anything for Mother now." When the Lion spoke again, it was not to Digory.[qh]
迪格雷一直在想，“我把事情全弄糟了。现在再也没有机会为妈妈要东西了”。狮子再开口时，已不是对迪格雷说了。[qh]
"You see, friends," he said, "that before the new, clean world I gave you is seven hours old, a force of evil has already entered it; waked and brought hither by this son of Adam."[qh]
“你们瞧，朋友们，”它说，“我给你们的这个新的、干净的世界诞生还没有七小时，一个邪恶的力量就已经进来了，由这个亚当的儿子唤醒并带来的。”[qh]
The Beasts, even Strawberry, all turned their eyes on Digory till he felt that he wished the ground would swallow him up.[qh]
那些野兽，甚至包括“草莓”，全都把眼光转向迪格雷，他真希望大得能将他吞下去。[qh]
"But do not be cast down," said Aslan, still speaking to the Beasts. "Evil will come of that evil, but it is still a long way off, and I will see to it that the worst falls upon myself.[qh]
“不过别泄气，”阿斯兰说，仍然对着它的野兽们，“那个恶魔将给我们带来邪恶。但是还早。我会留神让最坏的事情冲着我来。[qh]
In the meantime, let us take such order that for many hundred years yet this shall be a merry land in a merry world.[qh]
现在，我们要建立一种秩序，使得在数百年内这里都将是快乐世界的一片乐土。[qh]
And as Adam's race has done the harm, Adam's race shall help to heal it. Draw near, you other two."[qh]
亚当的种族带来了灾祸，但也将帮助我们消除灾祸。走近些，你们另外两位。”[qh]
The last words were spoken to Polly and the Cabby who had now arrived. Polly, all eyes and mouth, was staring at Aslan and holding the Cabby's hand rather tightly.[qh]
最后一句是对刚到的波莉和马车夫说的。波莉紧紧地拉着马车夫的手，目瞪口呆地盯着阿斯兰。[qh]
The Cabby gave one glance at the Lion, and took off his bowler hat: no one had yet seen him without it.[qh]
马车夫看了狮子一眼，摘下帽子来，谁也没有见过他不戴帽子的模样。[qh]
When it was off, he looked younger and nicer, and more like a countryman and less like a London cabman.[qh]
这下，他看上去要年轻漂亮些，更像一个乡下人而不像伦敦的马车夫。[qh]
"Son," said Aslan to the Cabby. "I have known you long. Do you know me?"[qh]
“孩子，”阿斯兰对马车夫说，“我很早就认识你了，你认识我吗？”[qh]
"Well, no, sir," said the Cabby. "Leastways, not in an ordinary manner of speaking. Yet I feel somehow, if I may make so free, as, ow we've met before."[qh]
“不，阁下，不认识，”马车夫说，“至少不是一般人说的那种认识。不过我觉得，如果我可以这么说的话，我们以前是有些认识的。”[qh]
"It is well," said the Lion. "You know better than you think you know, and you shall live to know me better yet. How does this land please you?"[qh]
“很好，”狮子说，“你比你自己想像的更有悟性，你会越来越了解我的。你喜欢这片土地吗？”[qh]
"It's a fair treat, sir," said the Cabby. "Would you like to live here always?"[qh]
“我在这儿非常快乐，阁下。”马车夫说。“你想永远住在这儿吗？”[qh]
"Well you see sir, I'm a married man," said the Cabby. "If my wife was here neither of us would ever want to go back to London, I reckon. We're both country folks really."[qh]
“你知道，阁下，我结了婚，”马车夫说，“我想，要是我妻子也在这儿，我们谁也不想再回伦敦了。我们都是地地道道的乡下人。”[qh]
Aslan threw up his shaggy head, opened his mouth, and uttered a long, single note; not very loud, but full of power. Polly's heart jumped in her body when she heard it.[qh]
阿斯兰昂起多毛的头，张口呼出长长的、不很嘹亮但有力的一声。波莉听得心跳加快。[qh]
She felt sure that it was a call, and that anyone who heard that call would want to obey it and (what's more) would be able to obey it, however many worlds and ages lay between.[qh]
她敢肯定，那是一种呼唤，任何人听到这声呼唤，不管隔了多少世界多少年代，都想听从而且都能够听从。[qh]
And so, though she was filled with wonder, she was not really astonished or shocked when all of a sudden a young woman, with a kind, honest face stepped out of nowhere and stood beside her.[qh]
虽然她心中充满了好奇，但当一个看上去善良、诚实的年轻女人不知从哪儿走出来站在她旁边时，她并没有被吓一跳或者感到十分震惊。[qh]
