"We have lost our way," said Dorothy. "Can you tell us where the Emerald City is?"
"Certainly (конечно)," answered the Queen; "but it is a great way off (но он очень далеко), for you have had it at your backs all this time (так как он оставался у вас за спиной все это время)." Then she noticed Dorothy's Golden Cap, and said (затем она заметила Золотую Шапку Дороти и сказала), "Why don't you use the charm of the Cap (почему ты не воспользуешься магическим заклинанием Шапки), and call the Winged Monkeys to you (и не призовешь к себе Крылатых Обезьян)? They will carry you to the City of Oz in less than an hour (они донесут вас до Города
"I didn't know there was a charm (а я и не знала, что есть это заклинание)," answered Dorothy, in surprise (удивленно ответила Дороти). "What is it (что это /за заклинание/)?"
"It is written inside the Golden Cap (оно написано внутри Золотой Шапки)," replied the Queen of the Mice (ответила Королева Мышей). "But if you are going to call the Winged Monkeys we must run away (но, если ты собираешься вызвать Крылатых Обезьян, мы должны убежать), for they are full of mischief (ведь они полны /злого/ озорства; mischief — вред, повреждение; озорство, проказы) and think it great fun to plague us (и думают, что это большое развлечение — мучить нас; fun — веселье; забава, развлечение; plague — мор, эпидемия, чума; мука, неприятность, проблема; to plague — зачумлять, насылать /чуму, бедствие, проклятие и т. п./; изводить, мучить, доводить)."

"It is written inside the Golden Cap," replied the Queen of the Mice. "But if you are going to call the Winged Monkeys we must run away, for they are full of mischief and think it great fun to plague us."
"Won't they hurt me (а они не причинят мне вреда)?" asked the girl anxiously (обеспокоенно спросила девочка).
"Oh, no. They must obey the wearer of the Cap (они должны подчиняться тому, кто носит Шапку: «носителю = носящему Шапку»; to wear — носить /одежду, прическу, украшения и т. п./; wearer — тот, на ком надета определенная одежда). Good-bye!" And she scampered out of sight (и она поспешно скрылась из виду; to scamper — носиться, резво скакать /особ. о детях, животных и т. п./), with all the mice hurrying after her (и все мыши поспешили вслед за ней).
Dorothy looked inside the Golden Cap and saw some words written upon the lining (Дороти взглянула внутрь Золотой Шапки и увидела какие-то слова, написанные на подкладке). These, she thought, must be the charm (это, подумала она, должно быть, то самое магическое заклинание), so she read the directions carefully (поэтому она внимательно прочитала инструкцию) and put the Cap upon her head (и надела Шапку на /свою/ голову).

"Ep-pe, pep-pe, kak-ke!" she said, standing on her left foot (сказала
"What did you say (что ты сказала)?" asked the Scarecrow, who did not know what she was doing (спросил Страшила, который не знал = не понимал, что она делает).
"Hil-lo, hol-lo, hel-lo!" Dorothy went on, standing this time on her right foot (продолжила Дороти, стоя, в этот раз, на своей правой ноге).
"Hello (привет)!" replied the Tin Woodman calmly (спокойно ответил Железный Дровосек).
"Ziz-zy, zuz-zy, zik!" said Dorothy, who was now standing on both feet (сказала Дороти, которая теперь стояла на двух ногах). This ended the saying of the charm (на этом произнесение заклинания закончилось), and they heard a great chattering and flapping of wings (и они заслышали шумную болтовню и хлопанье крыльев; to flap — хлопать, шлепать, ударять /чем-либо гибким и широким/; ударять крылом /о птицах/), as the band of Winged Monkeys flew up to them (когда к ним подлетела стая Крылатых Обезьян).

The King bowed low before Dorothy, and asked (Король низко поклонился /перед/ Дороти и сказал), "What is your command (какой будет твой приказ)?"
"We wish to go to the Emerald City (мы хотим идти = попасть в Изумрудный Город)," said the child, "and we have lost our way (и мы заблудились: «потеряли свой путь»)."
"We will carry you (мы отнесем вас)," replied the King (ответил Король), and no sooner had he spoken (и, как только он сказал /это/) than two of the Monkeys caught Dorothy in their arms (как двое Обезьян подхватили Дороти на руки) and flew away with her (и улетели с ней прочь). Others took the Scarecrow and the Woodman and the Lion (другие схватили Страшилу, и Дровосека, и Льва), and one little Monkey seized Toto and flew after them (а одна маленькая Обезьяна схватила Тото и полетела вслед за ними), although the dog tried hard to bite him (хотя песик изо всех сил старался укусить ее).
