Английский язык с Л. Ф. Баумом - Волшебник страны Оз

As Dorothy gazed upon this in wonder and fear (пока Дороти всматривалась в эту /голову/ в удивлении и страхе; to gaze — пристально глядеть, вглядываться), the eyes turned slowly and looked at her sharply and steadily (глаза медленно повернулись и посмотрели на нее внимательно и пристально /не моргая/; sharply — резко; внимательно; sharp — острый; steady — устойчивый, прочный; неизменный, постоянный). Then the mouth moved, and Dorothy heard a voice say (затем рот пришел в движение, и Дороти услышала, как голос говорит): "I am Oz, the Great and Terrible (я — Оз, Великий и Грозный). Who are you, and why do you seek me (а кто ты, и почему ты ищешь меня)?"

It was not such an awful voice (голос оказался не такой ужасный) as she had expected to come from the big Head (какой она ожидала, что раздастся от такой большой Головы); so she took courage and answered (поэтому она набралась храбрости и ответила): "I am Dorothy, the Small and Meek I have come to you for help (я — Дороти, Маленькая и Кроткая, и я пришла к тебе за помощью)." The eyes looked at her thoughtfully for a full minute (глаза смотрели на нее задумчиво в течение целой: «полной» минуты).

As Dorothy gazed upon this in wonder and fear, the eyes turned slowly and looked at her sharply and steadily. Then the mouth moved, and Dorothy heard a voice say: "I am Oz, the Great and Terrible. Who are you, and why do you seek me?" It was not such an awful voice as she had expected to come from the big Head; so she took courage and answered: "I am Dorothy, the Small and Meek. I have come to you for help." The eyes looked at her thoughtfully for a full minute.

Then said the voice (затем голос сказал): "Where did you get the silver shoes (где ты взяла эти серебряные башмаки)?"

"I got them from the Wicked Witch of the East (я взяла их у Злой Ведьмы Востока), when my house fell on her and killed her (когда мой дом упал на нее и убил ее)," she replied.

"Where did you get the mark upon your forehead (где ты получила метку на лбу)?" continued the voice (продолжал голос).

"That is where the Good Witch of the North kissed me (/она появилась/ там, где Добрая Ведьма Севера поцеловала меня) when she bade me good-bye and sent me to you (когда она попрощалась со мной и отправила меня к тебе)," said the girl.

Again the eyes looked at her sharply (снова глаза внимательно посмотрели на нее), and they saw she was telling the truth (и они увидели, что она говорила правду). Then Oz asked (затем Оз спросил), "What do you wish me to do (что ты хочешь, чтобы я сделал)?"

Then said the voice: "Where did you get the silver shoes?"

"I got them from the Wicked Witch of the East, when my house fell on her and killed her," she replied.

"Where did you get the mark upon your forehead?" continued the voice.

"That is where the Good Witch of the North kissed me when she bade me good-bye and sent me to you," said the girl.

Again the eyes looked at her sharply, and they saw she was telling the truth. Then Oz asked, "What do you wish me to do?"
