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

Dorothy went to the Witch’s cupboard to fill her basket with food for the journey (Дороти пошла к ведьминому буфету, чтобы наполнить свою корзину едой для путешествия), and there she saw the Golden Cap (и там она увидела Золотую Шапку). She tried it on her own head (она примерила ее на свою голову; to try on — примерять /платье и т. п./) and found that it fitted her exactly (и обнаружила, что она ей точно впору). She did not know anything about the charm of the Golden Cap (она ничего не знала о магической силе Золотой Шапки), but she saw that it was pretty (но она видела, что та была /такой/ красивой), so she made up her mind to wear it (поэтому она решила надеть ее) and carry her sunbonnet in the basket (а шляпу от солнца понести в своей корзине).

Then, being prepared for the journey, they all started for the Emerald City (после этого, подготовившись к путешествию, они все отправились в Изумрудный Город); and the Winkies gave them three cheers (и Винки три раза прокричали им «ура»; cheer — настроение; одобрительное, приветственное восклицание; to give a cheer — сказать что-то ободряющее; cheers! — за ваше здоровье! /тост/; ура!) and many good wishes to carry with them (и высказали множество добрых пожеланий им в дорогу: «чтобы они несли /их/ с собой»).

"We must try to find him (мы должны постараться найти его)," said the girl.

14. The Winged Monkeys (крылатые обезьяны)

You will remember there was no road (как вы, наверное, помните, дороги-то не было) — not even a pathway (/не было/ даже тропинки) — between the castle of the Wicked Witch and the Emerald City (между замком Злой Ведьмы и Изумрудным Городом).

When the four travelers went in search of the Witch (когда четверо путешественников отправились на поиски Ведьмы) she had seen them coming (она увидела, что они идут), and so sent the Winged Monkeys to bring them to her (и отправила Крылатых Обезьян, чтобы они принесли их к ней).

It was much harder to find their way back (намного тяжелее оказалось найти дорогу обратно) through the big fields of buttercups and yellow daisies (через большие поля лютиков и желтых маргариток) than it was being carried (чем когда их несли).
