第十一章
Who Stole the Tarts?
谁偷了塔茨?
a table, with a large dish of tarts upon it.
一张桌子,上面有一大盘花纹
In Part 8 of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, the Gryphon and Mock Turtle treat Alice to a recital of dance, poetry, and music.
在"爱丽丝在仙境的冒险"第8部分中,"葛来凤"和"摩克龟"将爱丽丝视为舞蹈,诗歌和音乐的独奏.
They looked so good, that it made Alice quite hungry to look at them.
他们看起来好极了,以至于... 爱丽丝很渴望看他们
“I wish they’ d get the trial done,” she thought, “and hand round the refreshments!”
「我希望他们能完成审判,
But there seemed to be no chance of this, so she began looking at everything about her, to pass away the time.
但似乎没有这个机会,于是她开始观察她的一切,来消逝时间.
Alice had never been in a court of justice before, but she had read about them in books, and she was quite pleased to find that she knew the name of nearly everything there.
爱丽丝以前从未上过法庭,但她在书中读到过他们的故事,她非常高兴地发现她知道那里几乎所有东西的名字.
“That’s the judge,” she said to herself, “because of his great wig.”
她对自己说,“这就是法官,因为他戴了大假发。 “
The judge, by the way, was the King; and as he wore his crown over the wig, he did not look at all comfortable, and it was certainly not becoming.
顺便说一句,法官是国王;当他戴着王冠在假发上时,他不看任何舒适,这肯定不会变成这样.
“ And that’s the jury-box,” thought Alice, “and those twelve creatures” (she was obliged to say “creatures,” you see, because some of them were animals, and some were birds), “I suppose they are the jurors.”
“...... 这就是陪审箱,“爱丽丝,“和这十二个生物”(她不得不说“生物,”你可以看到,因为其中一些是动物,有些是鸟),“我想他们是陪审员。 “
She said this last word two or three times over to herself, being rather proud of it: for she thought, and rightly too, that very few little girls of her age knew the meaning of it at all.
她对自己说了两三次最后一句话,对此相当自豪:因为她也正确地认为,她这个年龄的小女孩极少知道它的意义。
However, “jury-men” would have done just as well.
然而,“陪审团”也会这样做。
The twelve jurors were all writing very busily on slates.
十二名陪审员都在忙于写单子上
“What are they doing?”
“他们在做什么? “
Alice whispered to the Gryphon.
爱丽丝悄悄地对格莱方说.
“They can’t have anything to put down yet, before the trial’s begun.”
在审判开始前, “
“They’re putting down their names,” the Gryphon whispered in reply, “for fear they should forget them before the end of the trial.”
Gryphon回覆说, “因为害怕在审判结束前忘记他们, “
“Stupid things!”
烂事!
Alice began in a loud, indignant voice, but she stopped hastily, for the White Rabbit cried out, “Silence in the court!”
爱丽丝一开始发出响亮而无耻的声音,但她匆匆地停止了,因为白兔大叫道:"在宫廷中安静!
anxiously round, to make out who was talking.
焦急地转来转去 找出谁在说话
Alice could see, as well as if she were looking over their shoulders, that all the jurors were writing down “stupid things!”
爱丽丝也能看到,
on their slates, and she could even make out that one of them didn’t know how to spell “stupid,” and that he had to ask his neighbour to tell him.
她甚至可以证明其中一人不知道该如何拼出“傻子”,
“ A nice muddle their slates’ll be in before the trial’s over!”
在审判结束前,
thought Alice.
以为爱丽丝。
One of the jurors had a pencil that squeaked.
陪审员中有一个铅笔响起.
This, of course, Alice could not stand, and she went round the court and got behind him, and very soon found an opportunity of taking it away.
这当然,爱丽丝站不住脚,她绕过法庭,躲到他身后,很快找到了夺去的机会.
She did it so quickly that the poor little juror (it was Bill, the Lizard) could not make out at all what had become of it; so, after hunting all about for it, he was obliged to write with one finger for the rest of the day, and this was of very little use, as it left no mark on the slate.
她做的太快了,可怜的小陪审员(这是比尔,利扎德)根本无法说出后来的结局;因此,在为它打猎后,他不得不用一只手指写了一整天,这没有什么用处,因为它没有留下任何标记.
“Herald, read the accusation!”
“赫拉德,读一下指控!”
said the King.
说王曰.
On this the White Rabbit blew three blasts on the trumpet, and then unrolled the parchment scroll, and read as follows: “ The Queen of Hearts, she made some tarts, All on a summer day: The Knave of Hearts, he stole those tarts, And took them quite away!”
白兔在号角上吹出三道口响 然后把羊皮纸卷解开 读道:“心之女王,她做了几道口响,都是在夏日:心之克纳夫,他偷了那些口响, 把他们带走了!”
“Consider your verdict,” the King said to the jury.
国王对陪审团说,“考虑到你的判决”。
“Not yet, not yet!”
“还没有,还没有! “
the Rabbit hastily interrupted.
兔子仓促中断了
“There’s a great deal to come before that!”
“在此之前, “
“Call the first witness,” said the King; and the White Rabbit blew three blasts on the trumpet, and called out, “First witness!”
国王说:你们叫第一个证人吧!白兔在号角上吹了三次,然后喊叫说:第一个证人。
The first witness was the Hatter.
第一个证人是"疯帽子"
He came in with a teacup in one hand and a piece of bread- and-butter in the other.
他一手拿着一只茶杯 另一只手拿着一分面包和面包
“I beg pardon, Your Majesty,” he began, “for bringing these in, but I hadn’t quite finished my tea when I was sent for.”
“陛下,对不起,”他开始说,“把这些东西带进来,但我被送去喝茶时还没有喝完。 “
“You ought to have finished,” said the King.
国王说:“你应该说完,”
“When did you begin?”
“你什么时候开始的? “
The Hatter looked at the March Hare, who had followed him into the court, arm-in-arm with the Dormouse.
"疯帽子"看着跟随他入宫的"三月兔",与"多摩斯"手持武器.
“Fourteenth of March, I think it was,” he said.
他说,“三月十四日,我想是,”
“Fifteenth,” said the March Hare.
" 第十五回,"三月兔说.
“Sixteenth,” added the Dormouse.
“第16个,”加上了多穆斯语。
“Write that down,” the King said to the jury, and the jury eagerly wrote down all three dates on their slates, and then added them up, and reduced the answer to shillings and pence.
“写下来,”国王对陪审团说,陪审团急切地把三个日期都写下来,然后把它们加起来,把答案减少到先令和便士。
“Take off your hat,” the King said to the Hatter.
国王对疯帽子说,
“It isn’t mine,” said the Hatter.
疯帽子说,
“Stolen!”
斯通伦!
the King exclaimed, turning to the jury, who instantly made a memorandum of the fact.
国王大呼小叫,向陪审团求助,陪审团立即就此事发表了备忘录。
“I keep them to sell,” the Hatter added as an explanation.
“我让他们卖,”“疯帽子”补充了一个解释。
“I’ve none of my own.
“我没有我自己。
I’m a hatter.”
我是一个帽子。 “
Here the Queen put on her spectacles, and began staring at the Hatter, who turned pale and fidgeted.
在这里,女王穿上了她的外表, 并开始盯着哈特人, 他变得苍白和虚弱。
“Give your evidence,” said the King, “and don’t be nervous, or I’ll have you executed on the spot.”
国王说:「你拿出证据, “
This did not seem to encourage the witness at all: he kept shifting from one foot to the other, looking uneasily at the Queen, and in his confusion he bit a large piece out of his teacup instead of the bread-and-butter.
这似乎丝毫没有鼓励目击证人:他不停地从一脚转向另一只脚,不易地看着王后;在他的困惑中,他从他的茶杯上咬出一分大块来,而不是面包和口吃.
Just at this moment Alice felt a very curious sensation, which puzzled her a good deal until she made out what it was.
此时此刻 爱丽丝感到非常好奇的感觉,这令她困惑不解,直到她把事情说清楚.
She was beginning to grow larger again, and she thought at first she would get up and leave the court; but on second thoughts she decided to remain where she was as long as there was room for her.
她开始开始变大了,起初她想起来会起身离开宫廷;但是在二想时,她决定留在她的位置,只要有她的空间.
“I wish you wouldn’t squeeze so,” said the Dormouse, who was sitting next to her.
坐在她旁边的多摩斯说,
“I can hardly breathe.”
“我几乎无法呼吸。 “
“I can’t help it,” said Alice very meekly.
爱丽丝说,
“I’m growing.”
“我在成长。 “
“You’ve no right to grow here,” said the Dormouse.
Dormouse说,
“Don’t talk nonsense,” said Alice more boldly.
爱丽丝更大胆地说,
“You know you’re growing too.”
“你知道自己也在成长。 “
“Yes, but I grow at a reasonable pace,” said the Dormouse, “not in that ridiculous fashion.”
“是的,但我以合理的速度增长,”多摩斯说,“不是以这种荒谬的方式增长。 “
And he got up very sulkily and crossed over to the other side of the court.
然后他变得很沉闷 越过了法庭的另一边
All this time the Queen had never left off staring at the Hatter, and, just as the Dormouse crossed the court, she said to one of the officers of the court, “Bring me the list of the singers in the last concert!”
如此一来,女王从未离开过盯着"疯帽子",正如"多摩斯人"穿过了宫廷,她对宫廷的一位官员说道:"把最后一场演唱会的歌手名单拿给我!
on which the wretched Hatter trembled so, that he shook both his shoes off.
可怜的疯帽子为之颤抖 他把鞋都脱了
“Give your evidence,” the King repeated angrily, “or I’ll have you executed, whether you’re nervous or not.”
国王愤怒地重复道, “否则我会处死你, 不管你是否紧张。 “
“I’m a poor man, Your Majesty,” the Hatter began, in a trembling voice, “—and I hadn’t begun my tea—not above a week or so—and what with the bread-and-butter getting so thin—and the twinkling of the tea—” “The twinkling of what?”
" 陛下,我是一个可怜的人 " ,疯帽子以颤抖的声音开始, " ——我没有开始喝我的茶—— 不到一个星期左右—— 和面包和奶子瘦得这么快—— 和茶的闪闪发光—— " “
said the King.
说王曰.
“It began with the tea,” the Hatter replied.
疯帽子回答说,
“Of course twinkling begins with a T!”
“当然,闪烁始于T!”
said the King sharply.
国王说尖锐。
“Do you take me for a dunce?
“你把我当哑巴吗?
Go on!”
继续!”
“I didn’t!”
“我没有!”
the March Hare interrupted in a great hurry.
三月兔号匆匆中断
“You did!”
“你做到了!”
said the Hatter.
说疯帽子。
“I deny it!”
我否认!
said the March Hare.
说三月兔.
“He denies it,” said the King.
国王说,“他否认这一点”。
“Leave out that part.”
“离开这一部分。 “
“Well, at any rate, the Dormouse said—” the Hatter went on, looking anxiously round to see if he would deny it too: but the Dormouse denied nothing, being fast asleep.
“不管怎么说,Dormouse人说——”哈特人继续说,他焦急地寻找他是否会否认这一点:但Dormouse人否认什么,正在迅速入睡。
“ After that,” continued the Hatter, “I cut some more bread-and-butter—” “But what did the Dormouse say?”
“...... 在那之后,“哈特”继续说,“我又切了些面包和面包”。 “但多穆斯人怎么说的? “
one of the jury asked.
一个陪审团问。
“That I can’t remember,” said the Hatter.
我不记得了,
“You must remember,” remarked the King, “or I’ll have you executed.”
国王说,“你必须记住,否则我就处决你。 “
The miserable Hatter dropped his teacup and bread-and-butter, and went down on one knee.
悲惨的"疯帽子"把茶杯和面包倒了,并单膝而下.
“I’m a poor man, Your Majesty,” he began.
" 我是一个可怜的人,陛下,"他开始。
“You’re a very poor speaker,” said the King.
" 国王说, " 你是一个非常贫穷的演说家。
Here one of the guinea-pigs cheered, and was immediately suppressed by the officers of the court.
这里有一个豚鼠欢呼而来,立即被朝廷官员镇压.
(As that is rather a hard word, I will just explain to you how it was done.
(因为这是一个很困难的词,我只向你解释它是如何做到的。)
They had a large canvas bag, which tied up at the mouth with strings: into this they slipped the guinea-pig, head first, and then sat upon it.)
他们有一个大帆布袋,用绳子绑在嘴上:他们先把豚鼠滑倒,然后坐在上面。
“I’m glad I’ve seen that done,” thought Alice.
爱丽丝认为,
“I’ve so often read in the newspapers, at the end of trials, ‘There was some attempt at applause, which was immediately suppressed by the officers of the court,’ and I never understood what it meant till now.”
" 我经常在报纸上读到,在审判结束时,`有人企图掌声,立即被法院官员压制',我直到现在才明白这是什么意思。 “
“If that’s all you know about it, you may stand down,” continued the King.
国王继续说,
“I can’t go no lower,” said the Hatter.
疯帽子说,
“I’m on the floor, as it is.”
“我在地板上, “
“Then you may sit down,” the King replied.
国王回答说,“然后你可以坐下来。”
Here the other guinea-pig cheered, and was suppressed.
在这里,另一个豚鼠欢呼,并被压制。
“Come, that finished the guinea-pigs!”
"来吧,豚鼠都吃完了!"
thought Alice.
以为爱丽丝。
“Now we shall get on better.”
“现在,我们将更好地继续前进。 “
“I’ d rather finish my tea,” said the Hatter, with an anxious look at the Queen, who was reading the list of singers.
“我宁愿喝完我的茶,”哈特说,她急切地看着正在阅读歌手名单的女王。
“You may go,” said the King, and the Hatter hurriedly left the court, without even waiting to put his shoes on.
国王说,“你可以走了”,哈特人匆匆离开法庭,甚至没有等到穿上鞋子。
“—and just take his head off outside,” the Queen added to one of the officers: but the Hatter was out of sight before the officer could get to the door.
" ——只要把他的头砍出外去,"王后在其中一位军官上加了一句:但是"疯帽子"在军官到达门口之前就已经不在眼前了.
“Call the next witness!”
"叫下一个证人来!"
said the King.
说王曰.
The next witness was the Duchess’s cook.
下一个证人是公爵夫人的厨师。
She carried the pepper-box in her hand.
她手里拿着辣椒盒
Alice guessed who it was, even before she got into the court, by the way the people near the door began sneezing all at once.
爱丽丝猜到了是谁,甚至在她进宫之前,通过门附近的人们开始一下子打喷嚏.
“Give your evidence,” said the King.
国王说,“给你的证据”。
“Shan’t,” said the cook.
厨师说,
The King looked anxiously at the White Rabbit, who said in a low voice, “Your Majesty must cross-examine this witness.”
国王急切地看着白兔,白兔低声说道:"陛下必须盘问这位证人. “
“Well, if I must, I must,” the King said, with a melancholy air.
国王说,“如果必须的话,我必须,”以忧郁的气息。
After folding his arms and frowning at the cook till his eyes were nearly out of sight, he said in a deep voice, “What are tarts made of?”
在将他的手臂收起并皱眉对着厨师直到他的眼睛几乎看不见之后,他用很深的声音说道,“什么是花塔? “
“Pepper, mostly,” said the cook.
厨师说,“多数是Pepper”。
“Treacle,” said a sleepy voice behind her.
她身后有一个困乏的声音,
“Collar that Dormouse,” the Queen shrieked out.
女王惊慌失措,
“Behead that Dormouse!
“在多尔穆斯面前!
Turn that Dormouse out of court!
把那个多摩斯调出法庭!
Suppress him!
杀了他!
Pinch him!
捏他一脚!
Off with his whiskers!”
将他的胡子切开!”
For some minutes the whole court was in confusion, getting the Dormouse turned out, and, by the time they had settled down again, the cook had disappeared.
几分钟来,整个法庭都陷入了混乱, 让Dormouse号出现了, 当他们再次安定下来时, 厨师已经消失了。
“Never mind!”
"没关系!"
said the King, with an air of great relief.
说出王相以大解脱之相.
“Call the next witness.”
“请下一位证人作证。 “
And he added in an undertone to the Queen, “Really, my dear, you must cross-examine the next witness.
他向女王补充道:“真的,亲爱的,你必须盘问下一个证人。
It quite makes my forehead ache!”
这让我头痛!”
Alice watched the White Rabbit as he fumbled over the list, feeling very curious to see what the next witness would be like, “—for they haven’t got much evidence yet,” she said to herself.
爱丽丝看着"白兔"(White Rabbit)翻到名单后, 觉得非常好奇,
