Chapter III: The Scarecrow “That’s all right,” said the Scarecrow. “You are quite welcome to take my head off, as long as it will be a better one when you put it on again.” So the Wizard unfastened his head and emptied out the straw. 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.”(L. Frank Baum, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz) 第三章:稻草人 “那是不错的，”稻草人说。“十分欢迎你拿下我的头，只要当你再 把 它安放上去的时候，是更好的一个。” 因此，魔术家取下他的头来，挖空了稻草。跑进后面的房间里去， 拿出用许多的钉和针混合起来的大量的脑子来，再把它们摇动着，使 得它们紧密地互目交错着，他把这些混合物放满在稻草人的脑壳里， 再用稻草塞满了其余空隙的地方，使得它膨胀起来。 当他再在稻草人的身体上面安上扎紧了他的头时，对他说:“从比 以后，你是一个大人物了，因为我给了你一个簇新的脑子。”(莱曼. 弗兰克.鲍姆，绿野仙踪)
