Chapter 11 Glubbdubdrib and Luggnagg
第11章 格勒大錐和拉格奈格
Although the Laputans were kind to me,I did not want tospend a long time in their country.Therefore,I decided totravel from Balnibarbi to the island of Luggnagg,from there toJapan,and then home to England.But before I went toLuggnagg,an official I had met in Lagado persuaded me tovisit the small island of Glubbdubdrib.
盡管勒皮他人對我很和善,我并不想在這個國家呆多長時間,所以我決定從巴爾尼巴比旅行到拉格奈格島,從那兒到日本,然后回到英國??墒窃谖胰ダ衲胃褚郧拔以诶穸嘁姷降囊粋€官員說服我去參觀格勒大錐小島。
You'll find it a very interesting place,he told me.Glubbdubdrib means the island ofmagicians.All the important people there are good at magic,you see.The President is the bestmagician of them all.But I must warn you,he has some very strange servants-they're allghosts!
你會發(fā)現(xiàn)那是一個非常有意思的地方。他告訴我,格勒大錐的意思是魔術(shù)師之島,那兒所有的重要人物都擅長魔術(shù),你明白吧??偨y(tǒng)是他們中間最好的魔術(shù)師,但是我得警告你,他有一些非常奇怪的仆人—他們是鬼魂!
By using magic he can order the ghost of any dead person to be his servant for twenty-fourhours,and the ghost must obey.It seemed unbelievable,but it was true.When we arrived onthe island,we were invited to the President's palace.
他可以用魔法命令任何一個死去的人的鬼魂給他當24小時的仆人,而且鬼魂必須服從。這似乎難以置信,卻是真的。我們到達島上,被邀請到總統(tǒng)的宮里去。
His servants certainly looked strange to me there was a smell of death about them.When thePresident no longer needed them,he waved a hand,and they simply disappeared.
他的仆人在我看來絕對很古怪—他們有種死人的氣味。當總統(tǒng)不再需要他們時,他一揮手他們就簡單地不見了。
