8220;Do what you 8217;re told this minute, sir, 8221; said Uncle Andrew. 8220;You 8217;re an extremely disobedient, ill-behaved little boy. 8221;
“立刻照我说的做，老兄，“安德鲁舅舅说，”你这孩子太调皮捣蛋，表现很不好。”
8220;No fear, 8221; said Digory. 8220;We want to stay and see what happens. I thought you wanted to know about other worlds. Don 8217;t you like it now you 8217;re here? 8221;
“不走，”迪格雷说，“我们要呆在这儿看会发生什么事。我原来以为你想了解别的世界。现在到了这儿，你不喜欢这地方吗？”
8220;Like it! 8221; exclaimed Uncle Andrew. 8220;Just look at the state I 8217;m in. And it was my best coat and waistcoat, too. 8221; He certainly was a dreadful sight by now: for of course, the more dressed up you were to begin with, the worse you look after you 8217;ve crawled out of a smashed hansoncab and fallen into a muddy brook. 8220;I 8217;m not saying, 8221; he added, 8220;that this is not a most interesting place. If I were a younger man, now 8211; perhaps I could get some lively young fellow to come here first. One of those big-game hunters. Something might be made of this country. The climate is delightful. I never felt such air. I believe it would have done me good if 8211; if circumstances had been more favourable. If only we 8217;d had a gun. 8221;
“喜欢”，安德鲁舅舅大叫，“看看我落到了什么地步！这还是我最好的外套和背心呢。”他现在看上去的确很狼狈。当然，你开始时打扮得越漂亮，从撞烂的马车下钻出来再掉进一条泥泞的小溪，模样就越惨不忍睹。“我不是说，”他接着说道，“这个地方没有意思。如果我年轻一些，现在……我或许可以先去找一个精力充沛的青年到这儿来。找一个专猎大动物的猎手。这个地方有些好处可以利用。这儿天气宜人。我过去从来没有感受过这样的空气。我相信，这对我是有好处的，如果…… 如果条件比较有利。要是我们有枝枪就好了。”
8220;Guns be blowed, 8221; said the Cabby. 8220;I think I 8217;ll go and see if I can give Strawberry a rub down. That horse 8216;as more sense than some 8216;umans as I could mention. 8221; He walked back to Strawberry and began making the hissing noises that grooms make.
“枪也没用，”马车夫说，“我想我要去看看是不是该给‘草莓’梳理一下了。那匹马比有些人还有灵性。”他走到‘草莓’身边，嘴里发出马车夫特有的那种嘘嘘声。
8220;Do you still think that Lion could be killed by a gun? 8221; asked Digory. 8220;He didn 8217;t mind the iron bar much. 8221;
“你还认为那头狮子能被枪打死吗，”迪格雷说，“它对那根铁棒不怎么在乎。”
8220;With all her faults, 8221; said Uncle Andrew, 8220;that 8217;s a plucky gel, my boy. It was a spirited thing to do. 8221; He rubbed his hands and cracked his knuckles, as if he were once more forgetting how the Witch frightened him whenever she was really there.
“这全是她的错，”安德鲁舅舅说，“那胆大包天的姑娘，我的孩子。她太粗暴了。”他的指关节捏得噼啪作晌，似乎又忘了只要女巫在场自己是如何害怕的。
8220;It was a wicked thing to do, 8221; said Polly. 8220;What harm had he done her? 8221;
“这么做实在太坏了，”波莉说，“狮子哪一点伤害她了？”
8220;Hullo! What 8217;s that? 8221; said Digory. He had darted forward to examine something only a few yards away. 8220;I say, Polly, 8221; he called back. 8220;Do come and look. 8221;
“悔！那是什么？”迪格雷说完往前走，去查看几步外的一样东西。“我说，波莉，”他向后喊道，“过来看看。”
Uncle Andrew came with her; not because he wanted to see but because he wanted to keep close to the children there might be a chance of stealing their rings. But when he saw what Digory was looking at, even he began to take an interest. It was a perfect little model of a lamp-post, about three feet high but lengthening, and thickening in proportion, as they watched it; in fact growing just as the trees had grown.
安德鲁舅舅也跟着过来了，他不是好奇，而是想紧跟孩了们一这样就有可能偷到戒指。但是，当他看见迪格雷正在看的东西时，也开始感兴趣了。那是一个小巧而完美的灯柱模型．在他们看的时候，它正在按比例变高变宽。实际上，它像树木一样存生长。
8220;It 8217;s alive too 8211; I mean, it 8217;s lit, 8221; said Digory. And so it was; though of course, the brightness of the sun made the little flame in the lantern hard to see unless your shadow fell on it.
“它是活的…… 我是说，它亮着。”迪格雷说。不过，当然哆，在阳光下，除非你遮住它，灯上徽弱的光线几乎是看不见的。
8220;Remarkable, most remarkable, 8221; muttered Uncle Andrew. 8220;Even I never dreamt of Magic like this. We 8217;re in a world where everything, even a lamp-post, comes to life and grows. Now I wonder what sort of seed a lamppost grows from? 8221;
“了不起，太了不起了，”安德鲁舅舅喃喃地说，“我连做梦也不会想会有这样的魔法。这个世界，所有的东西甚至一个灯杜，都是有生命的，可以生长。我觉得奇怪的是，什么种子可以长成一个灯柱？”
