But why it was unpeopled is a long story: I will not tell it now.

但是为什么无人居住是一个很长的故事，我不准备现在讲它。

And so they fell, or rose, or blundered, or dropped right through, and found themselves in this world, in the Land of Telmar which was then unpeopled.

所以他们 下降，或者上升，或者跌跌撞撞，或者正好落入其中。再睁开眼时，他们发现自己已置身于这个世界的台尔马国。然后台尔马国又变得无人居住。
