Then he entered the back room and took up a measure of bran, which he mixed with a great many pins and needles. Having shaken them together thoroughly, he filled the top of the Scarecrow's head with the mixture and stuffed the rest of the space with straw, to hold it in place.

When he had fastened the Scarecrow's head on his body again he said to him, "Hereafter you will be a great man, for I have given you a lot of bran-new brains." The Scarecrow was both pleased and proud at the fulfilment of his greatest wish, and having thanked Oz warmly he went back to his friends.

Dorothy looked at him curiously (Дороти взглянула на него с любопытством). His head was quite bulged out at the top with brains (его голова была раздута на макушке от мозгов; bulge — выпуклость, округлый выступ; to bulge out — раздуваться, выпячиваться).

"How do you feel (как ты себя чувствуешь)?" she asked.

"I feel wise indeed (я на самом деле чувствую себя мудрым)," he answered earnestly (искренне ответил он; earnest — серьезный, важный; искренний, убежденный). "When I get used to my brains I shall know everything (когда я привыкну к своим мозгам, я буду знать все)."

"Why are those needles and pins sticking out of your head (а почему из твоей головы торчат все эти иголки и булавки; to stick out — высовываться, торчать)?" asked the Tin Woodman.

"That is proof that he is sharp (это доказательство того, что он умный; игра слов: sharp — острый, отточенный; умный, сообразительный; as sharp as a needle — очень сообразительный)," remarked the Lion.

"Well, I must go to Oz and get my heart (что ж, я должен пойти к Озу и получить свое сердце)," said the Woodman.

So he walked to the Throne Room and knocked at the door (поэтому он пошел к Тронному Залу и постучал в дверь).

"Come in (входи)," called Oz, and the Woodman entered and said (крикнул Оз, и Дровосек вошел и сказал), "I have come for my heart (я пришел за своим сердцем)."

Dorothy looked at him curiously. His head was quite bulged out at the top with brains.

"How do you feel?" she asked.

"I feel wise indeed," he answered earnestly. "When I get used to my brains I shall know everything."

"Why are those needles and pins sticking out of your head?" asked the Tin Woodman.

"That is proof that he is sharp," remarked the Lion.

"Well, I must go to Oz and get my heart," said the Woodman.

So he walked to the Throne Room and knocked at the door.

"Come in," called Oz, and the Woodman entered and said, "I have come for my heart."

"Very well (очень хорошо)," answered the little man. "But I shall have to cut a hole in your breast (но мне придется прорезать дыру у тебя на груди), so I can put your heart in the right place (чтобы я смог вложить твое сердце на правильное = надлежащее место). I hope it won't hurt you (я надеюсь, что это не причинит тебе боли)."

"Oh, no," answered the Woodman. "I shall not feel it at all (я этого вовсе не почувствую)." So Oz brought a pair of tinsmith's shears (тогда Оз принес пару ножниц жестянщика; shear — большие ножницы; инструмент для стрижки) and cut a small, square hole in the left side of the Tin Woodman's breast (и вырезал небольшую квадратную дыру на левой стороне груди Железного Дровосека).

Then, going to a chest of drawers (затем /он/ подошел к комоду; chest — ящик, сундук; drawer — выдвижной ящик /комода и т. п./; chest of drawers — комод), he took out a pretty heart (и достал прелестное сердце), made entirely of silk and stuffed with sawdust (сделанное полностью из шелка и набитое /древесными/ опилками; saw — пила; dust — пыль; sawdust — древесные опилки).

"Very well," answered the little man. "But I shall have to cut a hole in your breast, so I can put your heart in the right place. I hope it won't hurt you."

"Oh, no," answered the Woodman. "I shall not feel it at all." So Oz brought a pair of tinsmith's shears and cut a small, square hole in the left side of the Tin Woodman's breast.

Then, going to a chest of drawers, he took out a pretty heart, made entirely of silk and stuffed with sawdust.

"Isn't it a beauty (разве оно не прекрасно; beauty — красота)?" he asked.

"It is, indeed (прекрасно, в самом деле)!" replied the Woodman, who was greatly pleased (ответил Дровосек, который был весьма доволен). "But is it a kind heart (но это доброе сердце)?"

"Oh, very (о, очень /доброе/)!" answered Oz. He put the heart in the Woodman's breast (он вложил сердце в грудь Дровосека) and then replaced the square of tin (и затем поместил обратно квадратик железа; to replace — помещать обратно), soldering it neatly together where it had been cut (аккуратно припаяв его /в тех местах/, где он был вырезан).

"There," said he; "now you have a heart that any man might be proud of (теперь у тебя есть сердце, которым мог бы гордиться любой человек). I'm sorry I had to put a patch on your breast (я сожалею, что мне пришлось поставить заплатку на твою грудь), but it really couldn't be helped (но с этим действительно ничего нельзя было поделать)."

"Isn't it a beauty?" he asked.

"It is, indeed!" replied the Woodman, who was greatly pleased.

"But is it a kind heart?"

"Oh, very!" answered Oz. He put the heart in the Woodman's breast and then replaced the square of tin, soldering it neatly together where it had been cut.

"There," said he; "now you have a heart that any man might be proud of. I'm sorry I had to put a patch on your breast, but it really couldn't be helped."

"Never mind the patch (Бог с ней, с заплаткой; never mind — ничего, неважно, не беспокойтесь, не беда)," exclaimed the happy Woodman (воскликнул счастливый Дровосек). "I am very grateful to you (я очень благодарен тебе), and shall never forget your kindness (и никогда не забуду твоей доброты)."

"Don't speak of it (не говори об этом = не стоит благодарности)," replied Oz.

Then the Tin Woodman went back to his friends (затем Железный Дровосек вернулся к своим друзьям), who wished him every joy on account of his good fortune (которые поздравили его с удачей; to wish smb. joy — поздравлять /кого-либо/: «желать кому-либо счастья, удачи, успеха»; account — счет, расчет; основание, причина; on account of — из-за, вследствие; по случаю, по причине).

The Lion now walked to the Throne Room and knocked at the door (теперь Лев пошел в Тронный Зал и постучался в дверь).
