CHAPTER SIX BROWNIE MOUNTAIN The chair suddenly began to drop downwards. Binky peered to see where they were going. 'We've passed the Town of Bad Dreams. We're dropping down to the Village of Gobbo. Yes- that's right. Dear me, I wonder why? Gobbo is the head of all the brownies, and bad ones are sent to him to be punished.' A loud wail rose in the air. 'Oh my, oh my! Chair, go to the Brownie Mountain, I tell you!' But the chair took no notice. It flew right down to the ground, and immediately two stern-looking brownies came up, both with long beards and shaggy eyebrows. 'Who has been brought to be punished?' said

第六章布朗尼山椅子突然开始往下掉。 Binky看了看他们要去哪里。 “我们已经经过了噩梦之城。 我们要降落到戈博村。 是的，没错。天哪，我不知道为什么？ 戈博是所有布朗尼的首领，坏的布朗尼会被送到他那里接受惩罚。”空中响起了一声哀号。 “天哪，天哪！”椅子，我告诉你，到布朗尼山去！”但是主席没有注意到。 它飞到地面上，立刻飞出两个神情严肃的小棕仙，都留着长胡子，眉毛蓬乱。 “谁被带去受罚了？”说

one. 'Which one of you is a bad brownie?' 'Not one of us,' said Peter, puzzled. 'Mollie and I are children- and Binky here is a pixie.' 'Well, go away again, then,' said one of the brownies.

一个。“你们谁是坏布朗尼？”“我们谁也没有。”彼得迷惑不解地说。 “莫丽和我都是孩子——而Binky是一个小精灵。“好吧，那就再走吧，”一个布朗尼说。

'Landing is not allowed here unless naughty brownies are to be taken before our chief, Gobbo.' 'Right. Chair, fly away again,' said Peter. Up flew the chair- but one of the brownies suddenly gave a loud cry and caught hold of the right-hand wing. The chair almost tipped over, and Binky fell right off the back. He landed with a bump on the ground.

“这里不允许登陆，除非有人把淘气的布朗尼带到我们的首领戈波面前。“正确。 “椅子，再飞走吧。”彼得说。 椅子飞了起来——但其中一只布朗尼突然大叫一声，抓住了椅子的右手边。 椅子几乎翻了，Binky从椅背上摔了下来。 他砰地一声落在地上。

'What did you do that for?' he shouted to the brownie. Then he stared in surprise. The two brownies pulled the children off the chair, which was now back again on the ground- and then they turned the chair upside-down! It creaked angrily. 'Don't do that!' said Peter, astonished. Then he stared, even more astonished! Underneath the chair, clinging desperately to it, was the naughty little brownie who had peeped and pried outside the playroom! 'Look at that!' cried Mollie. 'It's Nose- About, the tiresome brownie! He must have slipped into the playroom and clung to the underneath of the chair so that we couldn't see him. And he flew off with us, and tried to make the chair go where he wanted.'

“你为什么要那样做？”他对小棕仙喊道。 然后他惊讶地盯着。 两个小棕仙把孩子们从椅子上拉了下来，然后把椅子翻了个底朝天！它愤怒地吱吱作响。 “别这样！”彼得吃惊地说。 然后他盯着看，更加惊讶了！在椅子下面，拼命地抓着椅子，是那只顽皮的小棕仙，它在游戏室外面偷看、窥探！“看那个！”莫丽叫道。 “是大鼻子，讨厌的布朗尼！”他一定是溜进了游戏室，躲在椅子下面，这样我们就看不见他了。 他和我们一起飞走了，想把椅子挪到他想去的地方。”

'And when we found the rainbow gold he wanted to go off to Brownie Mountain with it. That's where he lives, I expect,' said Peter. 'It was his voice we kept hearing! He was underneath the seat of the chair all the time.' 'No wonder the chair took us to the Village of Gobbo, then,' said Binky. 'It knew he was under it and wanted him to be punished. Brownies, take him away. He's a nuisance.'

“当我们找到彩虹金时，他想带着它去布朗尼山。 “我想他就住在那儿吧。”彼得说。 “我们一直听到的是他的声音！”他一直躲在椅子的下面。“怪不得椅子把我们带到戈博村去了。”宾基说。 “它知道他在它下面，想让他受到惩罚。 布朗尼，把他带走。他是个讨厌鬼。”

'No, no! Mercy, mercy!' wept the little brownie. 'Forgive me! I just wanted a ride, that's all. And when I saw the gold I thought I'd make the chair go to my home with it- then I'd be rich all my life.' 'You're very bad and you want punishing,' said Peter. 'I'm not at all sorry for you.' 'One punishment every day for a month,' said one of the brownies, solemnly, clutching

“不,不!仁慈,怜悯!小棕仙哭着说。 “原谅我!我只是想搭车，仅此而已。 当我看到金子的时候，我想我要把这把椅子连同金子一起运回我的家——这样我就会富一辈子了。“你太坏了，你应该受到惩罚。”彼得说。 “我一点也不为你难过。“一个月每天一次惩罚，”其中一个布朗尼严肃地说，手里紧紧抓着
