and shepherds dressed in knee breeches with pink and yellow and blue stripes down them, and golden buckles on their shoes;

and princes with jeweled crowns upon their heads, wearing ermine robes and satin doublets;

When all were safely down they picked up the Scarecrow, whose body was quite flattened out, and patted his straw into shape again.
所有的都跳下来后，他们扶起了稻草人，他的身体被踩了好几次，变得非常扁平了，他们慢慢地拍着稻草，使他再回复原状。
