«Лев, Колдунья и платяной шкаф» kitabından alıntılar, sayfa 8

Справедливость возродится -

стоит Аслану явиться.

Он издаст рычанье -

победит отчаянье.

Он оскалит зубы -

зима пойдет на убыль.

Гривой он тряхнет -

нам весну вернет.

She and Peter felt pretty shaky when they met and I won’t say there wasn’t kissing and crying on both sides. But in Narnia no one thinks any the worse of you for that.

Гномы пустили в ход боевые топорики, великан – дубинку (да и ногами он передавил не один десяток врагов), кентавры – мечи и копыта, волки – зубы, единороги – рога.

Но когда-нибудь ты дорастешь до такого дня, когда вновь начнешь читать сказки.

But as for Aslan himself, the Beavers and the children didn’t know what to do or say when they saw him. People who have not been in Narnia sometimes think that a thing cannot be good and terrible at the same time. If the children had ever thought so, they were cured of it now. For when they tried to look at Aslan’s face they just caught a glimpse of the golden mane and the great, royal, solemn, overwhelming eyes; and then they found they couldn’t look at him and went all trembly.“Go on,” whispered Mr Beaver.“No,” whispered Peter, “you first.”“No, Sons of Adam before animals,” whispered Mr Beaver back again.“Susan,” whispered Peter, “What about you? Ladies first.”“No, you’re the eldest,” whispered Susan. And of course the longer they went on doing this the more awkward they felt. Then at last Peter realized that it was up to him. He drew his sword and raised it to the salute and hastily saying to the others “Come on. Pull yourselves together,” he advanced to the Lion and said:“We have come—Aslan.”

And now a very curious thing happened. None of the children knew who Aslan was any more than you do; but the moment the Beaver had spoken these words everyone felt quite different. Perhaps it has sometimes happened to you in a dream that someone says something which you don't understand but in the dream it feels as if it had some enormous meaning - either a terrifying one which turns the whole dream into a nightmare or else a lovely meaning too lovely to put into words, which makes the dream so beautiful that you remember it all your life and are always wishing you could get into that dream again. It was like now.

Она вовсе не королева, – ответила Люси. – Она страшная Колдунья, Белая Ведьма. Все лесные жители ненавидят её. Она заколдовала страну, и теперь здесь у них всегда зима; зима, а Рождества и весны нету.

Но не пытайтесь дважды пройти одним и тем же путем.

"But in general, take my advice, when you meet anything that’s going to be human and isn’t yet, or used to be human once and isn’t now, or ought to be human and isn’t, you keep your eyes on it and feel for your hatchet".

by mr. Beaver

Если вы встретили кого-нибудь, кто собирается стать человеком, но еще им не стал, или был человеком раньше, но перестал им быть, или должен был бы быть человеком, но не человек, - не спускайте с него глаз и держите под рукой боевой топорик.
