and did not care whether I married her or not. 不再在乎能否娶她为妻。

I suppose she is still living with the old woman, waiting for me to come after her. 我想她仍旧和老妇人住在一起，等着我去找她。

My body shone so brightly in the sun that I felt very proud of it  我的身体在太阳光中照耀得这般明亮，让我很骄傲。

and it did not matter now if my axe² slipped, for it could not cut me. 即使现在我滑脱了斧头，都无关紧要了，因为斧头再也不能够砍掉我什么了。

There was only one danger--that my joints³ would rust⁴;  现在只有一个危险——那就是我的关节会发锈；

but I kept an oil-can in my cottage and took care to oil myself whenever I needed it. 因而在我的茅舍里，藏着一个油罐，当我需要时，我会给自己加油。

However, there came a day when I forgot to do this, and, being caught in a rainstorm,  有一天，我被困在暴风雨中，忘记了加油，

before I thought of the danger my joints had rusted⁵,  在意识到危险以前，我的关节已经锈了，

and I was left to stand in the woods until you came to help me. 只能留在这个树林里，直到你们来救我。

It was a terrible thing to undergo,  那是一段非常难熬的日子，

but during the year I stood there I had time to think that the greatest loss I had known was the loss of my heart. 但这一年让我有时间去思考，我意识到最大的损失是失去了我的心。

While I was in love I was the happiest man on earth;  当我在恋爱中，我是世界上最快乐的人；

but no one can love who has not a heart, and so I am resolved to ask Oz to give me one. 然而不会有人会爱一个没有心的人，所以我决意去请求奥芝给我一颗心。

If he does, I will go back to the Munchkin maiden⁶ and marry her." 如果他答应了，我将去找那位芒奇金女子并且娶她做我的妻子。
