But Aravis had already drawn the curtains, enclosing Lasaraleen and herself in a rich and scented, but rather stuffy, kind of tent.	但阿拉维斯已经把帘子放下来了，把拉斯阿拉莉恩和她自己封闭在一个富丽芳香却又相当闷热、类似篷帐的东西里了。
"I mustn't be seen," "she said. "My father doesn't know I'm here. I'm running away."	“我必须不让人看见，”她说道，”我的父亲不知道我在这儿。我正在逃跑啊。”
"My dear, how perfectly thrilling," said Lasaraleen. "I'm dying to hear all about it. Darling, you're sitting on my dress. Do you mind? That's better. It is a new one. Do you like it? I got it at-"	“啊，我的亲爱的，真够刺激的。”拉斯阿拉莉恩说道，”我真想听听全部故事。亲爱的，你坐在我的衣服上了，挪一挪，行吗?现在好多了。这是件新衣服，你喜欢吗?我买到它是在……”
"Oh, Las, do be serious," said Aravis. "Where is my father?"	“噢，拉斯，请你别开玩笑，”阿拉维斯说，”我父亲在什么地方?”
"Didn't you know?" said Lasaraleen. "He's here, of course. He came to town yesterday and is asking about you everywhere. And to think of you and me being here together and his not knowing anything about it! It's the funniest thing I ever heard." And she went off into giggles. She always had been a terrible giggler, as Aravis now remembered.	“你不知道吗。”拉斯阿拉莉恩说道，”他当然是在这儿啊。他昨天到城里来的，到处打听你的下落。你倒想想看，你和我一起在这儿，他却啥也不知道。这是我所听到的最可笑的事情了。”她的话变成了格格格的笑声。阿拉维斯现在记起来了，她始终是个令人可怕的格格笑个不停的女人。
"It isn't funny at all," she said. "It's dreadfully serious. Where can you hide me?"	“这压根儿不可笑，”她说，”这事严重得可怕。你能把我藏在什么地方啊?”
"No difficulty at all, my dear girl," said Lasaraleen. "I'll take you home. My husband's away and no one will see you. Phew! It's not much fun with the curtains drawn. I want to see people. There's no point in having a new dress on if one's to go about shut up like this."	“这可毫无困难，我亲爱的姑娘，”拉斯阿拉莉恩说道，”我要带你到我家里去。我的丈夫出门了，没有人会看见你的。晴，轿帘都拉下来了，就没什么趣了。我要看看老百姓。如果一个人非要这样封闭起来上街不可，那么穿上新衣服也就毫无意思了。”
"I hope no one heard you when you shouted out to me like that," said Aravis.	“我希望你这样拉大嗓门儿跟我说话时，没有人听见你的话。”阿拉维斯说。
"No, no, of course, darling," said Lasaraleen absentmindedly. "But you haven't even told me yet what you think of the dress."	“没有，没有人听见，当然啦。”拉斯阿拉莉恩心不在焉地说道，”但你觉得这件新衣服怎么样，你至今也还没有告诉我哩。
"Another thing," said Aravis. "You must tell your people to treat those two horses very respectfully. That's part of the secret. They're really Talking Horses from Narnia."	“还有一件事，”阿拉维斯说道，”你必须嘱咐你的仆从要恭而敬之地对待这两匹马儿。它们是这个秘密的一部分。它们确确实实是来自纳尼亚的说人话的马儿。”
"Fancy!" said Lasaraleen. "How exciting! And oh, darling, have you seen the barbarian queen from Narnia? She's staying in Tashbaan at present. They say Prince Rabadash is madly in love with her. There have been the most wonderful parties and hunts and things all this last fortnight. I can't see that she's so very pretty myself. But some of the Narnian men are lovely. I was taken out on a river party the day before yesterday, and I was wearing my-"	“好不奇怪！”拉斯阿拉莉恩说道，”多么激动人心！喂，亲爱的，你看见过来自纳尼亚的野蛮的女王吗?现在她待在塔什班城里。据说王子拉巴达什疯狂地爱上了她。最近这两星期来，直都在举行最最豪华的社交盛会，打猎，以及其他活动。我自己可看不出她有多美。但有几个纳尼亚男子汉倒很漂亮。前天我被带去参加河滨舞会，我穿上了我的……”
"How shall we prevent your people telling everyone that you've got a visitor - dressed like a beggar's brat - in your house? It might so easily get round to my father."	“我们怎样才能阻止你的仆从告诉别人:有一个客人——穿得像个乞丐的小崽子——进了你的家。这消息说不定十分容易传到我父亲那儿。”
"Now don't keep on fussing, there's a dear," said Lasaraleen. "We'll get you some proper clothes in a moment. And here we are!"	“别老是大惊小怪的，你要听话，才是乖宝宝哩。”拉斯阿拉莉恩说道，”我们一会儿就给你找些合适的衣服。我们到家了。”
