Chapter 2

CHAPTER TWO The Land of Toys They were all ready. They went out of Moon-Face's little round room and climbed up the topmost branch into a cloud. They came to the little ladder that led upwards through the last bit of cloud. Toyland should be at the top!

第二章 玩具王国 大家都准备好了。 他们走出圆脸小人的小圆房间，爬上最高的树枝，钻进了一片云里。 他们来到了一架小梯子跟前，梯子向上延伸，穿过了最后一小片云。 玩具王国肯定就在梯子顶上！

Saucepan went first. He climbed off the top rung of the ladder, and called down to the others. "Yes, it's here. Come on!"

平底锅走在最前面。 他爬上梯子的最高一级，低头朝下面的伙伴们喊。 “对，就在这儿。 快上来呀！”

Up they all went, and at last stood in Toyland. But there seemed to be no toys about at all. Saucepan pointed to a town not far off. Flags were flying brightly from little houses. "There's the Village of Toys," he said. "Now we'll go and find my aunt."

大家都爬了上去，终于站在了玩具王国的土地上。 可周围好像根本看不到半件玩具。 平底锅指向不远处的一座小镇。 小房子上鲜艳的旗子正随风飘扬。 “那儿就是玩具村，”他说。 “现在我们去找我姑姑吧。”

They set off to the village. But when they got there, Saucepan stopped and looked puzzled.

他们动身往村子走去。 可等走到村子里，平底锅突然停下脚步，一脸困惑。

"Dear me," he said, "this isn't the land I hoped. The toys are all alive- look, isn't that a teddy bear walking about?" "Yes," said Beth. "Goodness- we can't take toys like these away to play with at home! They're as big as we are!" "I'll find my aunt," said Saucepan, and they all walked down the village street, meeting three or four sailor dolls, a curious man who had no legs but just wobbled along, and some beautifully dressed dolls. Saucepan's aunt was nowhere to be found. "Your aunt lives in the other land, you silly," said Silky. "This must be the Land of Toys, not Toyland."

“哎呀，”他说，“这不是我想找的那个地方呀。 这些玩具居然都是活的——你看，那只泰迪熊不正在走来走去吗？” “是啊，”贝丝说。 “天呀——我们总不能把这样的玩具带回家玩吧！ 它们和我们长得一样大呀！” “我要去找我姑姑，”平底锅说，于是大家沿着村里的街道往前走，遇到了三四个水手玩偶，一个没有腿、只能一摇一晃往前挪的奇怪男人，还有几个穿着漂亮裙子的玩偶。 平底锅的姑姑哪儿都找不到。 “你姑姑住在另一个地方呀，你这个小傻瓜，”希尔基说。 “这里肯定是活玩具之地，不是玩具王国。”
