), and then he struck at the Tin Woodman with his sharp claws (и затем напал на Железного Дровосека своими острыми когтями;
to strike — ударять, бить). But, to the Lion's surprise, he could make no impression on the tin (но, к удивлению Льва, он не смог ничего сделать с железом;
impression — эффект; впечатление; оттиск, отпечаток, след), although the Woodman fell over in the road and lay still (хотя Дровосек упал на дорогу и лежал неподвижно;
to fall over — свалиться).

Just as he spoke there came from the forest a terrible roar, and the next moment a great Lion bounded into the road. With one blow of his paw he sent the Scarecrow spinning over and over to the edge of the road, and then he struck at the Tin Woodman with his sharp claws. But, to the Lion's surprise, he could make no impression on the tin, although the Woodman fell over in the road and lay still.
Little Toto, now that he had an enemy to face (маленький Тото, теперь, когда ему пришлось встретиться лицом к лицу с врагом), ran barking toward the Lion (побежал, лая, ко Льву), and the great beast had opened his mouth to bite the dog (и огромный зверь /уже/ открыл свою пасть, чтобы укусить собаку), when Dorothy, fearing Toto would be killed (когда Дороти, опасаясь, что Тото будет убит), and heedless of danger (невзирая на опасность; heed — внимание, забота; heedless — не обращающий внимания), rushed forward and slapped the Lion upon his nose as hard as she could (бросилась вперед и шлепнула Льва по носу так сильно, как только смогла), while she cried out (и выкрикнула): "Don't you dare to bite Toto (не смей кусать Тото)! You ought to be ashamed of yourself, a big beast like you (тебе должно быть стыдно, такой большой зверь как ты; ashamed — пристыженный), to bite a poor little dog (а кусаешь бедную маленькую собачку; poor — бедный, неимущий; бедный, несчастный)!"
