Then the Guardian of the Gates put on his own glasses (затем Страж Ворот надел свои собственные очки) and told them he was ready to show them to the Palace (и сообщил им, что он готов отвести их во Дворец; to show — показывать; to show smb. to a place — провожать, сопровождать кого-либо куда-либо). Taking a big golden key from a peg on the wall (сняв большой золотистый ключ с гвоздика на стене), he opened another gate (он отворил другие ворота), and they all followed him through the portal into the streets of the Emerald City (и все вместе они последовали за ним через главный вход на улицы Изумрудного Города).

When they were on, Dorothy could not take them off had she wished, but of course she did not wish to be blinded by the glare of the Emerald City, so she said nothing.

Then the green man fitted spectacles for the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman and the Lion, and even on little Toto; and all were locked fast with the key.

11. The Wonderful City of Oz (Удивительный Город Оза)

Even with eyes protected by the green spectacles (даже /хотя их/ глаза были защищены зелеными очками: «даже с глазами, защищенными зелеными очками»), Dorothy and her friends were at first dazzled by the brilliancy of the wonderful City (Дороти и ее друзья были поначалу ослеплены блеском удивительного Города). The streets were lined with beautiful houses all built of green marble (вдоль улиц тянулись ряды прекрасных домов, все /из которых/ были построены из зеленого мрамора; line — линия; to line — проводить линии, линовать; строить, выстраивать в ряд, в линию) and studded everywhere with sparkling emeralds (и усеяны повсюду искрящимися изумрудами). They walked over a pavement of the same green marble (они шли по мостовой из такого же зеленого мрамора), and where the blocks were joined together were rows of emeralds (и /в тех местах/, где /мраморные/ плиты соединялись друг с другом, были проложены ряды изумрудов; block — чурбан, колода; блок, глыба /породы; to join — соединять, связывать

), set closely, and glittering in the brightness of the sun (которые были плотно: «близко» уложены и сверкали на ярком солнце: «при свете солнца»; bright — яркость, свет). The window panes were of green glass (оконные стекла были из зеленого стекла); even the sky above the City had a green tint (даже солнце над Городом имело зеленый оттенок), and the rays of the sun were green (и лучи солнца были зелеными).

There were many people (/на улицах/ было много людей) — men, women, and children (мужчин, женщин и детей) — walking about (которые прогуливались), and these were all dressed in green clothes and had greenish skins (и все они были одеты в зеленую одежду, и кожа /у них была/ зеленоватой).
