8220;Quick, Digory! 8221; said Polly. 8220;Change rings and into 8217; the home pool. 8221;
“快，迪格雷！”波莉说，“换戒指，跳进回家的水潭！”
8220;Help! Help! Mercy! 8221; cried the Witch in a faint voice, staggering after them. 8220;Take me with you. You cannot. mean to leave me in this horrible place. It is killing me. 8221;
“救命！救命！天呀！”女巫有气无力地喊着，蹒跚地跟在后面，“把我带上。你们不要把我留在这个可怕的地方，我会死的。”
8220;It 8217;s a reason of State, 8221; said Polly spitefully. 8220;Like when you killed all those people in your own world. Do be quick, Digory. 8221; They had put on their green rings, but Digory said:
“这是执政者的理由，”波莉恨恨地说，“就像你杀掉你的世界里那么多人一样。快点，迪格雷。”他们已经戴上了绿戒指，但迪格雷说：
8220;Oh bother! What are we to do? 8221; He couldn 8217;t help feeling a little sorry for the Queen.
“真烦人！我们要干什么？”他不由得对女王产生了一丝怜悯。
8220;Oh don 8217;t be such an ass, 8221; said Polly. 8220;Ten to one she 8217;s only shamming. Do come on. 8221; And then both children plunged into the home pool. 8220;It 8217;s a good thing we made that mark, 8221; thought Polly. But as they jumped Digory felt that a large cold finger and thumb had caught him by the ear. And as they sank down and the confused shapes of our own world began to appear, the grip of that finger and thumb grew stronger. The Witch was apparently recovering her strength. Digory struggled and kicked, but it was not of the least use. In a moment they found themselves in Uncle Andrew 8217;s study; and there was Uncle Andrew himself, staring at the wonderful creature that Digory had brought back from beyond the world.
“别当傻瓜，”波莉说，“她八成是装的。快点儿。”然后，两个孩子都跳进了回家的水潭。“幸好我们做了标记。”波莉想。但是，当他们往下跳时，迪格雷感到两只冰冷的大手指抓住了他的耳朵。他们沉下去了，我们这个世界开始模模糊糊、隐隐约约地导现出来。抓住他耳朵的手指也越来越有力。豪无疑问，女巫的力量正在恢复，迪格雷又打又踢，但毫无用处。一会儿，他们便到了安德鲁舅舅的书房。安德色舅舅目瞪口呆地看着迪格雷从另一世界带回的奇妙动物。
And well he might stare. Digory and Polly stared too. There was no doubt that the Witch had got over her faintness; and now that one saw her in our own world, with ordinary things around her, she fairly took one 8217;s breath away. In Charn she had been alarming enough: in London, she was terrifying. For one thing, they had not realized till now how very big she was. 8220;Hardly human 8221; was what Digory thought when he looked at her; and he may have been right, for some say there is giantish blood in the royal family of Charn. But even her height was nothing compared with her beauty, her fierceness, and her wildness. She looked ten times more alive than most of the people one meets in London. Uncle Andrew was bowing and rubbing his hands and looking, to tell the truth, extremely frightened. He seemed a little shrimp of a creature beside the Witch. And yet, as Polly said after wards, there was a sort of likeness between her face and his, something in the expression. It was the look that all wicked Magicians have, the 8220;Mark 8221; which Jadis had said she could not find in Digory 8217;s face. One good thing about seeing the two together was that you would never again be afraid of Uncle Andrew, any more than you 8217;d be afraid of a worm after you had met a rattlesnake or afraid of a cow after you had met a mad bull.
他这样呆望着是有理由的。迪格雷和波莉也目瞪口呆。毫无疑问，女巫已经不再虚弱；眼下，她站在我们的世界里，和周围的普通事物一比，实在使人倒吸一口凉气。在恰恩，她曾经使人非常惊讶：在伦敦，她使人感到恐惧。首先，他们到现在也没弄清楚她到底有多么庞大。“简直不是人类。” 迪格雷看着她这样想；他也许想得不错，因为有人说过，恰恩皇族有巨人血统。但她的高度，比起她的美貌、残忍和野性来要逊色一筹。她看上去比伦敦街上的大多数人都要多出十倍的精力。安德鲁舅舅躬腰、搓手，看着她；说实话，他害怕极了。在女巫身边，他就像是虾米一样的小动物。而且，正如波莉后来说的，他和女巫的表情有某种相似之处；那是一种所有邪恶的魔法师都有的表情，即简蒂丝说她在迪格雷脸上找不到的“标记”。看见这两个人站在一起有一种好处：你不会再怕安德公舅舅，犹如见过响尾蛇不再怕蚯蚓，见过发疯的公牛不再怕奶牛一样。
8220;Pooh! 8221; thought Digory to himself. 8220;Him a Magician! Not much. Now she 8217;s the real thing. 8221;
“呸！”迪格雷想，“他也算魔法师！不够格。她才是真的。”
