Chapter 6

CHAPTER SIX A VERY MAGICAL PALACE The magician's palace was set on top of a high hill. The chair did not take long to get there. It flew down and took its place among the long line of carriages that were drawing up one by one at the big front door.

第六章非常神奇的宫殿魔术师的宫殿坐落在一座高山上。 椅子没过多久就到了那里。 它飞了下来，站在一长排马车中间，一辆接一辆地停在大前门。

When their turn came the children and the elves jumped off the chair and ran up the steps. They were shown into a great hall and there they shook hands with Magician Greatheart, a tall and handsome enchanter, whose cloak rippled out as he walked, as if it were made of blue water. His eyes were kind and looked right through everyone.

轮到他们时，孩子们和精灵们从椅子上跳起来，跑上台阶。 他们被领进了一个大厅，在那里他们和魔法师大心握了握手。大心是一个高大英俊的魔法师，他的斗篷在他走的时候像蓝色的水做的一样微微地起伏着。 他的眼睛很慈祥，能看穿每个人。

A band was playing merrily in the big hall, and Binky caught hold of Mollie and danced with her. Peter found a small, shy fairy and danced with her too, though she was so light that he couldn't make up his mind if she was real or not!

一个乐队在大厅里欢快地演奏着，Binky抓住Mollie和她一起跳舞。 彼得找到了一个害羞的小仙女，也和她跳舞，尽管她太轻了，他无法确定她是真的还是假的！

There were hundreds of fairy folk there of all kinds- gnomes, goblins, brownies, fairies, elves, pixies- but only two children, so Mollie and Peter felt most honoured. Then came the supper. It was so queer. The long, long table was spread with plates and glasses and dishes, but there was no food at all, no, not even a yellow jelly.

那里有几百个各种各样的小精灵——侏儒、小妖精、小仙女、精灵、小妖精——但只有两个孩子，所以莫丽和彼得感到非常荣幸。 然后是晚餐。这太奇怪了。 长长的桌子上摆满了盘子、玻璃杯和盘子，但根本没有吃的，连一个黄色的果冻都没有。

The magician took his place at the end of the table. 'Will you each wish for what you like best to eat?' he said in his kind, deep voice. 'Take it in turn, please!'

魔术师在桌子的尽头坐了下来。 “你们每个人都想吃自己最喜欢吃的东西吗？”他用亲切而低沉的声音说。 “请依次来！”

A brownie next to him said, 'I wish for honey-lemonade and sugar biscuits!' At once a jug of yellow lemonade appeared by him and a plate of delicious sugar biscuits! The fairy next to the brownie wished for chocolate blancmange and a cream ice. They appeared even as she spoke the words! It was such fun to see them come. Mollie and Peter watched in amazement as all the dishes and jugs on the table became full of the most exciting

他旁边的一个布朗尼说：“我希望有蜂蜜柠檬水和糖饼干！”他眼前立刻出现了一罐黄色的柠檬水和一盘美味的糖饼干！布朗尼旁边的仙女想要巧克力和冰淇淋。 他们就在她说话的时候出现了！看到他们来真是太有趣了。 莫丽和彼得惊奇地看着桌子上所有的盘子和罐子都装满了最令人兴奋的东西
