Chapter 6

CHAPTER SIX A Shock for the Toys How the children and the others ran! They knew well that if they were caught they would be put into the toy fort- and then the Land of Toys would move away from the Faraway Tree, and goodness knows how long they might have to stay there! So they ran at top speed. Frannie fell behind a little, and Joe took her hand to help her along. Panting and puffing, they raced down the streets of the Land of Toys, trying to remember where the hole was that led down through the cloud to the Faraway Tree.

第六章 玩具们的大惊吓 孩子们和其他人拼命跑啊跑！ 他们心里清楚，要是被抓住，就会被关进玩具堡垒——到时候玩具国就会从遥远树旁边飘走，天知道他们得在那儿待多久！ 所以他们卯足了劲往前冲。 弗兰妮有点落后了，乔拉住她的手，帮她快点跑。 他们气喘吁吁，顺着玩具国的街道狂奔，拼命回忆那个穿过云层通往遥远树的洞口在哪里。

Joe remembered the way. He led them all to the hole- and there was the ladder, thank goodness! "Down you go!" cried Joe to Silky, Beth and Frannie. "Hurry! Get into Moon-Face's room quickly." Down the girls went, and then Rick, Moon- Face, Saucepan and Joe. Joe only just got down in time, because a big teddy bear had almost caught them up- and as Joe went down he reached out and tried to catch Joe's shirt.

乔记得路。 他领着大家跑到洞口——谢天谢地，梯子还在那儿！ “你们快下去！”乔对着西尔基、贝丝和弗兰妮喊道。 “快点！ 赶紧去月亮脸的房间。” 女孩们先往下爬，接着是里克、月亮脸、平底锅人和乔。 乔刚好赶在最后爬下去，因为一只大泰迪熊差点追上他们——乔往下爬的时候，大熊还伸手想抓他的衬衫。

Joe jerked himself away. His shirt tore- and he half slid, half climbed down the ladder to safety. Soon he was in Moon-Face's house with the others- but what was this? The toys did not stay up in their land— they poured down the ladder after the children and their friends! "They're coming in here!" yelled Moon-Face. "Oh, why didn't we shut the door?"

乔猛地挣开。 他的衬衫被扯破了——他半滑半爬地顺着梯子下到了安全的地方。 很快他就和其他人一起到了月亮脸的家，可这是怎么回事？ 玩具们没待在他们的国土上——他们跟着孩子们和朋友们，顺着梯子涌了下来！ “他们要闯进来了！” 月亮脸大叫。 “哎呀，我们刚才怎么没关门啊？”

But it was too late then to shut the door. Wooden soldiers, teddy bears and dolls poured into Moon-Face's funny round room- and Moon-Face, quick as a flash, pushed them all towards the middle of his room. The opening of the slippery-slip was there- and one by one all the surprised toys fell into the hole and found themselves sliding wildly down the inside of the tree!

可现在关门已经太晚了。 木头士兵、泰迪熊和洋娃娃们一窝蜂涌进了月亮脸那间有趣的圆房子——月亮脸动作快得像闪电，把他们全往房间中间推。 滑滑梯的入口就在那儿——那些吃惊的玩具一个接一个掉进洞里，只觉得自己正顺着树的内部疯狂往下滑！
