She looked back over her shoulder and there, between the dark tree trunks, she could still see the open doorway of the wardrobe and even catch a glimpse of the empty room from which she had set out. (She had, of course, left the door open, for she knew that it was a very silly thing to shut oneself into a wardrobe.) It seemed to be still daylight there. “I can always get back if anything goes wrong,” thought Lucy. She began to walk forward, crunch-crunch over the snow and through the wood towards the other light. In about ten minutes she reached it and found it was a lamppost.

露西感到有点害怕，但同时她也感到

好奇与兴奋。她回头向后望去，透过

黑色的树干，她仍能看到魔衣橱的入口，甚至还能瞥见她走出的那个空房间。（当然，她让魔衣橱的门开着，因为她认为把自己关在衣橱里是件愚蠢的事情。）魔衣橱外看起来好像仍是白

天。露西想：“如果发生了什么事，我总是可以回去的。“她开始往前走，伴着脚下咯吱咯吱的积雪声穿过树林，走向那边的亮光处。大约十分钟她走到那里，发现它原来是个灯柱。

As she stood looking at it, wondering why there was a lamppost in the middle of a wood, and wondering what to do next, she heard the pitter-patter of feet coming towards her. And soon after that a very strange person stepped out from among the trees in to the light of the lamppost. He was only a little taller than Lucy herself and carried over his head an umbrella, white with snow. From the waist upwars he was like a man, but his legs were shaped like a goat’s (the hair on them was glossy black) and instead of feet he had goat’s hoofs. He also had a tail, but Lucy did not notice this at first because it was so neatly caught up over the arm that held the umbrella so as to keep it from trailing in the snow. He had a red woolen muffler round his neck and his skin was rather reddish too. He had a strange, but pleasant little face, with a short pointed beard and curly hair, and out of the hair there stuck two horns, one on each side of his forehead. One of his hands, as I have said, held the umbrella; in the other arm he carried several brown-paper parcels. With the parcels and the snow it looked just as if he had been doing his Christmas shopping. He was a Faun. And when he saw Lucy he gave such a start of surprise that he dropped all his parcels.

“Goodness gracious me!” exclaimed the Faun.

当她停下脚步看着灯柱时，她感到奇怪：为什么在树林中间会有根灯柱，她不知所措，然后，她听到有人啪哒啪哒地向她走来。很快一个奇怪的人

就从树林那边走出来，出现在灯光下面。

他比露西略微高一点，因下雪而打着伞，伞上覆盖着雪。从腰往上，他看起来像人，但他的脚像山羊腿（上面

的毛又黑又亮），脚不是人脚而是羊蹄。他还有尾巴，不过起初露西没有看到，因为尾巴整齐地搭在举着伞手

的手臂上，以免拖在雪地上（所以看不见）。他脖子上围着一条红色羊毛围巾，他的皮肤也略带红色。他的脸

又小又奇怪但却很好看，胡子很显眼，头发打着卷儿。两只羊角从卷发里穿出来，长在前额的两侧。他的一

只手——正如我刚才说的，举着伞；在另一只手里拿着几个棕黄色的包裹。通过包裹和他身上的雪看来，他

刚才好像去买圣诞礼物了。他是个半羊人。但看到露西时，他如此惊讶，

把他的包裹都掉落到地上了。“天哪！”他惊叫道。
