豹豹喊你一起来看纳尼亚-狮子，女巫，魔衣橱的大结局了。
终于等到了这一章，难点反而没多少。纳尼亚战役结束后，四个小家伙坐上了王椅，伟大的阿斯兰又默默离开去需要他的地方了。纳尼亚在这四个小家伙的管理下和平繁荣，时光荏苒，直到有一天他们去围捕传说中实现愿望的白鹿，又回到了现实之中。中文介绍多了点，毕竟收尾了不能再留尾巴。以下正文(真的难点不多。)
Most of the enemy had been killed in the first charge of Aslan and his companions; and when those who were still living saw that the Witch was dead they either gave themselves up or took to flight.
enemy与family, audience一样，也有集合名词的属性，(enemy敌人-----复数形式enemies) 集合名词属性表敌军，即此文用法。
take to flight 逃走
They found Edmund in charge of Mrs. Beaver a little way back from the fighting line.
in charge of由某人照顾
said Aslan while she was still looking eagerly into Edmund’s pale face and wondering if the cordial would have any result.
look into 有观察之意(多指深入调查)
have any result即have any effect
And for the next half-hour they were busy—she attending to the wounded while he restored those who had been turned into stone.
attend to sb. 照顾某人
此处the wounded 用the+adj表示一个群体，那些伤员，类似the rich, the old
“Daughter of Eve,” said Aslan in a graver voice, “others also are at the point of death. Must more people die for Edmund?”
at the point of : just before
die for 为了某种目的牺牲
这里需要注意两个词组
die of 死于(疾病、过度悲伤等)
die from 死于(某种原因意外 环境造成)
When at last she was free to come back to Edmund she found him standing on his feet and not only healed of his wounds but looking better than she had seen him look - oh, for ages; in fact ever since his first term at that horrid school which was where he had begun to go wrong.
be free to do sth. 自由做某事；
for ages : for a very long time，长久以来
begin to go wrong 开始学坏
此处有not only...but (also) 句型，连接两个并列结构，强调后半部分“不但...而且...”
but somehow or other they found themselves all sitting down on the grass to a fine high tea at about eight o’clock.
这里有一个文化小常识
high tea 下午茶，这里指工薪阶层的普通下午茶，土豆，肉之类(桌子高，高背椅)
low tea 精致下午茶，甜点水果之类还要放上好几层。(贵族)
不要搞混了，当然现在没那么过度讲究了，有兴趣可以自行搜索。
...in the presence of all their friends and to the sound of trumpets, Aslan solemnly crowned them and led them to the four thrones amid deafening shouts of, “Long Live King Peter!..."
in the presence of sb. 当着某人的面
amid prep.在...之中
The form amidst is also used, but is more literary. 亦使用amidst，但文学性更强
Long Live King xx 就是xx国王万岁。突然想起coldplay一首歌中的歌词:
Listen as the crowd would sing:
"Now the old king is dead
Long live the king "
He’ll often drop in.
drop in (非正式)顺便拜访
后文还出现了And they entered into friendship and alliance with countries beyond the sea and paid them visits of state and received visits of state from them.中pay a visit/pay visits就跟正式了，进行访问。
At first much of their time was spent in seeking out the remnants of the White Witch’s army and destroying them, and indeed for a long time there would be news of evil things lurking in the wilder parts of the forest...
spend的几个常用结构
(1) spend time ／money on sth.在……上花费时间（金钱）
(2)spend time ／money (in) doing sth.花费时间（金钱）做某事.
(3)spend money for sth.花钱买…….
lurk:
If someone lurks somewhere, they wait there secretly so that they cannot be seen, usually because they intend to do something bad. (通常指意图不轨地) 潜伏, 潜藏, 埋伏
这个词是豹豹读霍比特人学习的，印象很深
eg.
Hiding behind one of the largest barrels Bilbo discovered the trapdoors and their use, and lurking there, listening to the talk of the king's servants, ...
And he led them a great pace over rough and smooth and through thick and thin, till the horses of all the courtiers were tired out and only these four were still following.
这段话写得很美，就贴出来了。白鹿带领他们要去回家的路了。(he指的就是the White Stag)
Then said King Peter (for they talked in quite a different style now, having been Kings and Queens for so long), "Fair Consorts, let us now alight from our horses and follow this beast into the thicket; for in all my days I never hunted a nobler quarry."
他们说话的用语都发生了改变，后面会有一条具体句子标注。
Fair Consorts 各位王弟王妹，因为四个孩子都成了国王/女王，所以Peter如此称呼
consort n.同伴，伙伴
alight from 从某处上下来
quarry常见意思采石场，此处是另一个常见意思猎物。
for此处均表示原因
“By the Lion’s Mane, a strange device,” said King Peter, ...
哈哈哈，不知道J.K.Rowling是不是借鉴了这个写法。哈利波特中出现的“Merlin’s beard”和“What in the name of Merlin!”类似这样的说法都表示天啊。
I know not how it is, but this lamp on the post worketh upon me strangely. ...
the like foreboding stirreth in my heart also....
“Madam,” said King Peter, “therein I pray thee to have me excused. For never since we four were Kings and Queens in Narnia have we set our hands to any high matter, ...
这三处均出现了旧式用法。
worketh v.(古)产生效果(即work)
stirreth v.(古)激起，产生(即stir)
therein adv.在那件事中
pray adv. (古)请
thee pron.(古)you(一个人，常用做宾格)
后文中还出现了
“if ye will all have it so, let us go on and take the adventure that shall fall to us.”中的ye 也是you的过去用法，你们，汝等(复数)
So these Kings and Queens entered the thicket, and before they had gone a score of paces they all remembered that ...
此处注意score n.二十，而不是得分
Yes, of course you’ll get back to Narnia again someday. Once a King in Narnia, always a King in Narnia. ...Indeed, don’t try to get there at all. It’ll happen when you’re not looking for it. And don’t talk too much about it even among yourselves. And don’t mention it to anyone else unless you find that they’ve had adventures of the same sort themselves.
纳尼亚中教授的最后一段话还真带点哲学的味道。这段话也算是埋了一根线，在纳尼亚一旦为王，永久为王。好像教授也在这个系列中一部的主角。
故事就结束了。这本书断断续续持续了两个月，原本计划六月份就读完没想到精读这么费时间。这本书前后翻了也有三遍，在注释上参考了原著，一些语法书，词典和网上的释义。当然也有个人的见解在里面。因为书做的注释很详细，就不写书评了。此书系列的笔记讲解仅作为参考，有不足之处请见谅。感谢各位小伙伴的一路围观。
The end.
