(纳尼亚传奇)The-Lion-the-Witch-and-the-Wardrobe-英文介绍

Plot Overview

Peter,

Susan,

Edmund,

and

Lucy

Pevensie

are

four

siblings

sent

to

live

in

the

country with the eccentric Professor Kirke during World War II. The children

explore

the

house

on

a

rainy

day

and

Lucy,

the

youngest,

finds

an

enormous

wardrobe.

Lucy

steps

inside

and

finds

herself

in

a

strange,

snowy

wood.

Lucy

encounters the Faun Tumnus, who is surprised to meet a human girl. Tumnus tells

Lucy that she has entered Narnia, a different world. Tumnus invites Lucy to tea,

and she accepts. Lucy and Tumnus have a wonderful tea, but the faun bursts into

tears and confesses that he is a servant of the evil White Witch. The Witch has

enchanted

Narnia

so

that

it

is

always

winter

and

never

Christmas.

Tumnus

explains that he has been enlisted to capture human beings. Lucy implores Tumnus

to release her, and he agrees.

Lucy

exits

Narnia

and

eagerly

tells

her

siblings

about

her

adventure

in

the

wardrobe. They do not believe her, however. Lucy's siblings insist that Lucy was

only gone for seconds and not for hours as she claims. When the Pevensie children

look in the back of the wardrobe they see that it is an ordinary piece of furniture.

Edmund teases Lucy mercilessly about her imaginary country until one day when

he sees her vanishing into the wardrobe. Edmund follows Lucy and finds himself in

Narnia as well. He does not see Lucy, and instead meets the White Witch that

Tumnus told Lucy about. The Witch Witch introduces herself to Edmund as the

Queen

of

Narnia.

The

Witch

feeds

Edmund

enchanted

Turkish

Delight,

which

gives Edmund an insatiable desire for the chocolate. The Witch uses Edmund's

greed and gluttony to convince Edmund to bring back his siblings to meet her.

On

the

way

back

to

the

lamppost,

the

border

between

Narnia

and

our

world,

Edmund meets Lucy. Lucy tells Edmund about the White Witch. Edmund denies

any connection between the Witch and the Queen. All Edmund can think about is

his desire for the Turkish Delight. Lucy and Edmund return to Peter and Susan,

back in their own world. Lucy relies on Edmund to support her story about Narnia,

but

Edmund

spitefully

tells

Peter

and

Susan

that

it

is

a

silly

story.

Peter

and

Susan

are

worried

that

Lucy

is

insane

so

they

talk

to

Professor

Kirke.

The

Professor shocks Peter and Susan by arguing that Lucy is telling the truth.

One day the children hide in the wardrobe to avoid the housekeeper and some

houseguests. Suddenly all four Pevensie children find themselves in Narnia. Lucy

leads

them

to Tumnus's

home,

but

a

note

informs

them

that Tumnus

has been

arrested on charges of treason. Lucy realized that this means the Witch knows

that Tumnus spared Lucy's life, and that the Witch has captured Tumnus. Lucy

implores

her

siblings

to

help

her

rescue

Tumnus

from

the

Witch.

Guided

by

a

friendly

robin,

the

children

wander

into

the

woods,

and

meet

Mr.

Beaver.

Mr.

Beaver brings them back to his home, where he explains that the children cannot

do anything to save Tumnus. The only thing the children can do is join Mr. Beaver

on a journey to see Aslan a lion. Aslan appears to be a king or god figure in Narnia.

The children are all pleasantly enchanted by the name Aslan, except for Edmund,

who is horrified by the sound of it. Mr. Beaver, Peter, Susan, and Lucy plot to
