"There is no black hole, save in your own fancy, fool," cried Tirian. "Come out of it." And, leaning forward, he caught Diggle by the belt and the hood and swung him right out of the circle of Dwarfs. “傻瓜,除了在你们自己的幻觉里,这儿可没有什么黑洞。”蒂莲大声疾呼道,“你站出来吧。”他俯身向前,抓住迪格尔的腰带和帽兜,把他从小矮人的小圈子里揪了出来。
But the moment Tirian put him down, Diggle darted back to his place among the others, rubbing his nose and howling: "Ow! Ow! What d'you do that for! Banging my face against the wall. You've nearly broken my nose." 但蒂莲刚把他放下地来,迪格尔立刻就蹿回小矮人们之中他的位置里去,擦着鼻子号叫道:“噢!噢!你为了什么要这么干!把我的脸撞在墙上。你几乎打断了我的鼻梁。”
"Oh dear!" said Lucy, "What are we to do for them?" “咳!”露茜说,“我们能为他们做些什么事呢?”
"Let 'em alone," said Eustace: but as he spoke the earth trembled. The sweet air grew suddenly sweeter. A brightness flashed behind them. All turned. Tirian turned last because he was afraid. There stood his heart's desire, huge and real, the golden Lion, Aslan himself, and already the others were kneeling in a circle round his forepaws and burying their hands and faces in his mane as he stooped his great head to touch them with his tongue. Then he fixed his eyes upon Tirian, and Tirian came near, trembling, and flung himself at the Lion's feet, and the Lion kissed him and said, "Well done, last of the Kings of Narnia who stood firm at the darkest hour." “由他们去吧。”尤斯塔斯说;但他说话时,大地震动了,芳香的空气突然变得格外芳香。一道亮光在他们的背后闪耀。蒂莲心中害怕,他最后一个转过头来。后边站着他衷心盼望的、真正的巨大的金狮子——阿斯兰:其他的人们正围着金狮的前脚爪跪成一圈,狮子的大脑袋俯下来,用舌头舔他们时,他们把自己的手和脸埋在他的鬣毛里。然后狮子目不转睛地瞧着蒂莲,蒂莲颤抖着走近来,投身在狮子的脚边,狮子吻吻他,说道:“干得好,纳尼亚最后一个国王在最黑暗的时刻依然坚定地昂首挺立。”
"Aslan," said Lucy through her tears, "could you - will you - do something for these poor Dwarfs?" “阿斯兰,”露茜透过泪水说道,“你能不能——愿不愿意——为这些可怜的小矮人们出点力?”
"Dearest," said Aslan, "I will show you both what I can, and what I cannot, do." He came close to the Dwarfs and gave a low growl: low, but it set all the air shaking. But the Dwarfs said to one another, "Hear that? That's the gang at the other end of the stable. Trying to frighten us. They do it with a machine of some kind. Don't take any notice. They won't take us in again!" “最亲爱的,”阿斯兰说道,“我能做到的和不能做到的,我都会让你们看到的。”他走近小矮人们,发出一声长啸,声音低沉,可是所有的空气都震动了。但小矮人们互相问答道,“听到吗?那是马厩那一头的那一帮子搞的。要想吓唬我们。他们用一种机器弄出来的声音。不必理它的。他们休想叫我们再受骗上当了。”
Aslan raised his head and shook his mane. Instantly a glorious feast appeared on the Dwarfs' knees: pies and tongues and pigeons and trifles and ices, and each Dwarf had a goblet of good wine in his right hand. But it wasn't much use. They began eating and drinking greedily enough, but it was clear that they couldn't taste it properly. They thought they were eating and drinking only the sort of things you might find in a stable. One said he was trying to eat hay and another said he had a bit of an old turnip and a third said he'd found a raw cabbage leaf. And they raised golden goblets of rich red wine to their lips and said "Ugh! Fancy drinking dirty water out of a trough that a donkey's been at! Never thought we'd come to this." But very soon every Dwarf began suspecting that every other Dwarf had found something nicer than he had, and they started grabbing and snatching, and went on to quarrelling, till in a few minutes there was a free fight and all the good food was smeared on their faces and clothes or trodden under foot. But when at last they sat down to nurse their black eyes and their bleeding noses, they all said: 阿斯兰抬起头来,摇晃他的鬣毛。小矮人们的膝头上立刻出现了精美的大菜:馅饼、酱舌、鸽子、甜食和冰淇淋。每个小矮人的右手里都有一杯好酒。但大菜也没有多大用处。他们开始十分贪馋地吃喝,但他们显然没法儿恰当地品出味道来。他们以为他们吃的喝的都不过是在马厩里可以找得到的东西。一个说他在试吃干草,另一个说他吃到了一点儿陈年萝卜,第三个说是他发现了一片生的卷心菜叶子。他们把盛满红葡萄酒的金杯举到唇边,说道:“呸!想想看吧,竟喝驴子吃过的饲料槽里的脏水!从来没想到我们会落到这种地步。”但,每个小矮人很快就开始怀疑别人吃到了比吃到的更加鲜美的东西,因而你抢我夺起来,继续争吵不休,终于在几分钟内恣意大打出手,把所有的美味佳肴都涂在脸上衣服上,或者踩在脚底下了。然而,当他们终于坐下来护理打黑的眼眶和流血的鼻子时,他们大家都说道:
"Well, at any rate there's no Humbug here. We haven't let anyone take us in. The Dwarfs are for the Dwarfs." “行啦,无论如何,这儿可毫无骗人的鬼话。我们没有让任何人骗我们上当。小矮人总是为小矮人而奋斗的。”
"You see, " said Aslan. "They will not let us help them. They have chosen cunning instead of belief. Their prison is only in their own minds, yet they are in that prison; and so afraid of being taken in that they cannot be taken out. But come, children. I have other work to do." “你们瞧,”阿斯兰说道,“他们不让我们去帮助他们。他们不选择信赖,宁可凭借狡猾。他们的牢狱,仅仅存在于他们自己的心里;他们迄今还待在这种心造的牢狱里;他们是那么害怕受骗上当,所以无法救他们出狱。但是,孩子们,来吧。我还有别的工作要干。”
He went to the Door and they all followed him. He raised his head and roared, "Now it is time!" then louder, "Time!"; then so loud that it could have shaken the stars, "TIME." The Door flew open. 阿斯兰向门走去,大家都跟着他。阿斯兰抬起头,大声疾呼:“现在是时候了!”接着更加响亮地喊道:“是时候了!”然后再接再厉地呼喊:“是时候了!”响亮得把繁星都震动了。门突然打开啦。
