As it was, the jar made her catch her breath and wonder what had happened; and dog Toto put his cold little nose into her face and whined sadly. Dorothy sat up and noticed that the house was not moving; nor was it dark, for the bright sunshine came in at the window, flooding the little room. She sprang from her bed and with Toto at her heels ran and opened the door. 多萝茜被一阵突如比来的剧烈的震动惊醒，如果她没有躺在柔软的床上，她可能会受伤的。震动使她屏住呼吸，寻思着发生的事;小狗托托把它冰冷的小鼻子放到她的脸上，凄惨地哀叫着。多萝茜坐起来，发现房子不动了，天也不黑了，明亮的阳光从窗口照进来，照满了小屋。她从床上一跃而起，跑过去开门，托托跟在她脚边。 The little girl gave a cry of amazement and looked about her, her eyes growing bigger and bigger at the wonderful sights she saw. 女孩惊讶地叫了起来，她环顾四周，看到一幕幕奇特的景象，眼睛睁得越来越大。 The cyclone had set the house down very gently in the midst of a country of great beauty.

They were not as big as the grown folk she had always been used to; but neither were they very small. In fact,they seemed about as tall as Dorothy, who was a well-grown child for her age, although they were, so far as looks go, many years older. 当她站在那里，急切地注视着这些奇特美丽的景观时，她注意到一群人向她走来，这是她见过的最奇异的人。他们没有她看惯了的成人那么高大
