Chapter 5

CHAPTER FIVE How to Get Home "What we really should do is try and find the hole that leads from this land to the Faraway Tree," said Joe seriously. "Surely you don't want to stay in this peculiar land for ever! Gosh, we never know what is happening from one minute to the next!" "I feel very sleepy again," said Moon-Face, yawning. "I do wish I could go to bed." Just as he said that, there came a clippitty-cloppitty noise behind them. They all turned- and to their amazement saw a big white bed following them, trotting along on four fat legs. "Gosh!" said Rick, stopping in surprise. "Look at that bed! Where did it come from?"

第五章 怎么回家 “我们眼下最该做的，就是找到能从这片土地通向远树的洞。”乔严肃地说。 “你总不会想永远待在这个怪地方吧！ 天呐，这里下一秒会发生什么，我们根本料不到！” “我又困得不行了。”月亮脸打着哈欠说。 “我真恨不得马上躺到床上去睡觉。” 他话音刚落，身后就传来了哒哒哒哒的马蹄似的声响。 大家都转过头——惊讶地看到一张大白床正跟在他们身后，靠四条胖腿哒哒地往前跑。 “天呐！”里克惊讶地停下了脚步。 “快看那张床！ 它是从哪冒出来的？”

The bed stopped just by them. Moon-Face yawned. "I'd like to cuddle down in you and go to sleep," he said to the bed. The bed creaked as if it was pleased. Moon-Face climbed on to it. It was soft and cosy. Moon-Face put his head on the pillow and shut his eyes. He began to snore very gently. This made everyone else feel tired and sleepy too.

床刚好停在了他们身边。 月亮脸打了个哈欠。 “我真想钻进你怀里好好睡一觉。”他对着床说。 床吱呀响了一声，好像听了很开心似的。 月亮脸爬到了床上。 床又软又舒服。 月亮脸把头靠在枕头上，闭上了眼睛。 他开始轻轻打起鼾来。 这下其他人也都觉得又累又困了。

One by one they climbed into the big bed and lay down. The bed creaked in a very happy way. Then it went on its way again, clippitty-clopping on its four fat legs, taking the six sleepers with it.

大家一个接一个爬上了大床，躺了下来。 床开心地吱呀吱呀响着。 接着它又往前跑了起来，四条胖腿哒哒哒地响，载着六个睡觉的小家伙往前去了。

Now what had happened to Silky? Well, she had found Dame Washalot, Mister Watzisname and the Angry Pixie, and had told them how the others had fallen asleep in the Land of Dreams. "Oh, good heavens! They'll never get away from there!" said Watzisname anxiously. "We must rescue them. Come along." Dame Washlot put a wash-tub of water on her head. The Angry Pixie picked up a kettle of water. Watzisname didn't take anything. They all went up to the ladder at the top of the tree.

那希尔可这会儿怎么样了呢？ 原来呀，她找到了洗衣婆沃莎洛特太太、无名先生和生气小精灵，告诉了他们其他人在梦之国睡着了的事。 “哦，天呐！ 他们永远都没法从那里逃出来了！”无名先生焦急地说。 “我们必须去救他们。 走吧。” 洗衣婆沃莎洛特太太把一洗衣盆水顶在了头上。 生气小精灵拎起了一壶水。 无名先生什么也没拿。 他们都朝着树顶的梯子走了过去。
