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

As soon as he had spoken, the Tin Woodman began to chop (как только он это сказал, Железный Дровосек начал рубить /дерево/), and in a short time the tree fell over with a crash (и вскоре: «через короткий промежуток времени» дерево с треском свалилось), whereupon the Scarecrow’s clothes fell out of the branches and rolled off on the ground (после чего одежда Страшилы попадала с веток и скатились на землю; to roll off — упасть, скатиться /с чего-либо/).

Dorothy picked them up (Дороти подобрала ее) and had the Winkies carry them back to the castle (и приказала Винки отнести ее обратно в замок), where they were stuffed with nice, clean straw (где она была набита прекрасной чистой соломой); and behold (и вот, смотри; to behold — видеть, замечать, узреть)! here was the Scarecrow, as good as ever (вот /перед ними/ стоял Страшила, лучше, чем прежде; as good as ever — не хуже, чем раньше: «такой же хороший, как всегда»), thanking them over and over again for saving him (и благодарил их снова и снова за свое спасение).

crash [kræʃ], whereupon [ˌwe(ə)rə’pɒn], behold [bɪ’həʊld]

As soon as he had spoken, the Tin Woodman began to chop, and in a short time the tree fell over with a crash, whereupon the Scarecrow’s clothes fell out of the branches and rolled off on the ground.

Dorothy picked them up and had the Winkies carry them back to the castle, where they were stuffed with nice, clean straw; and behold! here was the Scarecrow, as good as ever, thanking them over and over again for saving him.

Now that they were reunited (теперь, когда они снова были вместе; to unite — объединять, соединять; to reunite — воссоединяться), Dorothy and her friends spent a few happy days at the Yellow Castle (Дороти и ее друзья провели несколько счастливых дней в Желтом Замке), where they found everything they needed to make them comfortable (где они нашли все, что им было нужно, чтобы чувствовать себя удобно/комфортно).

But one day the girl thought of Aunt Em, and said (но однажды девочка подумала о Тетушке Эм и сказала), "We must go back to Oz, and claim his promise (мы должны вернуться к Озу и потребовать /выполнения/ его обещания; to claim — требовать, предъявлять требования)."

"Yes," said the Woodman, "at last I shall get my heart (наконец я получу свое сердце)."

"And I shall get my brains (а я получу свои мозги)," added the Scarecrow joyfully (добавил радостно Страшила).

"And I shall get my courage (а я получу свою смелость)," said the Lion thoughtfully (задумчиво сказал Лев).

"And I shall get back to Kansas (а я вернусь в Канзас)," cried Dorothy, clapping her hands (закричала Дороти, хлопая в ладоши; to clap — хлопать).

reunite [ˌriːjuː’naɪt], comfortable [ˈkʌmf(ə)təbl], claim [kleɪm], promise [ˈprɒmɪs], joyfully [ˈdʒɔɪfulɪ]

"Oh, let us start for the Emerald City tomorrow (о, давайте завтра отправимся в Изумрудный Город)!"
