CHAPTER XII.
第十二章
Alice’s Evidence ere!”
爱丽丝的证据!
cried Alice, quite forgetting in the flurry of the moment how large she had grown in the last few minutes, and she jumped up in such a hurry that she tipped over the jury-box with the edge of her skirt, upsetting all the jury-men onto the heads of the crowd below, and there they lay sprawling about, reminding her very much of a globe of goldfish she had accidentally upset the week before.
泪下爱丽丝, 相当忘记她在过去几分钟里 长出多大的一瞬间, 她急忙地跳了起来, 用她裙子的边缘告诉陪审团, 让陪审团所有的人 都陷入了下层人群的头部,
In Part 9 of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Alice finds herself in a crazy courtroom where the Knave of Hearts is on trial for tart robbery.
爱丽丝在《爱丽丝在仙境的冒险》第9部分中发现自己在疯狂的法庭中,
“Oh, I beg your pardon!”
"哦,对不起!"
she exclaimed in a tone of great dismay, and began picking them up again as quickly as she could, for the accident of the goldfish kept running in her head, and she had a vague sort of idea that they must be collected at once and put back into the jury-box, or they would die.
她以极大的惊愕语气叹息,并开始尽可能快地再次取出它们,因为金鱼在她头上不断跑来跑去的事故,她有某种模糊的想法,即必须马上被收集,再放回陪审团的盒子里去,否则他们就会死.
“The trial cannot proceed,” said the King in a very grave voice, “until all the jury-men are back in their proper places— all,” he repeated with great emphasis, looking hard at Alice as he said so.
" 国王以非常严肃的口吻说, " 直到所有陪审员回到他们合适的位置,所有的人, " 他非常强调地重复说,他象他所说的那样,认真看待爱丽丝。
Alice looked at the jury-box, and saw that, in her haste, she had put the Lizard in head downwards, and the poor little thing was waving its tail about in a melancholy way, being quite unable to move.
爱丽丝看着陪审团的盒子,看到她匆匆忙忙地把蜥蜴放在了下头,可怜的小东西以忧郁的方式挥来挥去尾巴,相当无法移动.
She soon got it out again, and put it right.
她很快又得到了它,并把它正确。
“Not that it signifies much,” she said to herself.
她对自己说,“这并不意味着很多。”
“I should think it would be quite as much use in the trial one way up as the other.”
“我认为,在审判中,这种做法与另一种做法一样有用。 “
As soon as the jury had recovered from the shock of being upset, and their slates and pencils had been found and handed back to them, they set to work very diligently to write out a history of the accident, all except the Lizard, who seemed too much overcome to do anything but sit with its mouth open, gazing up into the roof of the court.
陪审团刚从被惊扰的惊吓中恢复过来,他们的板子和铅笔被找到并交给他们,他们就开始非常勤奋地工作,写出事故的历史,除了利扎德之外,其他人似乎都过份克服了,只好张开嘴坐着,凝视地走入了法庭的屋顶.
“What do you know about this business?”
“...... 你对这行了解多少? “
the King said to Alice.
国王对爱丽丝说
“Nothing,” said Alice.
爱丽丝说:“没什么,”
“Nothing whatever?”
“什么都没有? “
persisted the King.
坚持国王。
“Nothing whatever,” said Alice.
爱丽丝说,“什么都没有。”
“That’s very important,” the King said, turning to the jury.
国王说,“这是非常重要的,”他转向陪审团。
They were just beginning to write this down on their slates, when the White Rabbit interrupted: “Unimportant, Your Majesty means, of course,” he said in a very respectful tone, but frowning and making faces at him as he spoke.
白兔打断说:“陛下当然是说,
“Unimportant, of course, I meant,” the King hastily said, and went on to himself in an undertone, “important—unimportant— unimportant—important—” as if he were trying which word sounded best.
" 当然,我的意思是, " 国王仓促地说,他继续用一个小字写道, " 重要 -- -- 不重要 -- -- 不重要 -- -- " 好像他在尝试哪个字听起来最好。
Some of the jury wrote it down “important,” and some “unimportant.”
有些陪审团将其写为“重要”,有些则写为“不重要”。 “
Alice could see this, as she was near enough to look over their slates.
爱丽丝可以看到这一点, 因为她已经足够接近 查看他们的表。
“But it doesn’t matter a bit,” she thought to herself.
她本人认为,
At this moment the King, who had been for some time busily writing in his notebook, cackled out, “Silence!”
国王在笔记中写了一段时间,
and read out from his book, “Rule Fort y-Two.
从他的书中读出“规则要塞。
“ All persons more than a mile high to leave the court.”
“...... 一多英里高的人都离开法庭 “
Everybody looked at Alice.
每个人都看着爱丽丝。
“I’m not a mile high,” said Alice.
爱丽丝说,
“You are,” said the King.
国王说,“你是,”
“Nearly two miles high,” added the Queen.
“近两英里高”,加上了女王。
“Well, I shan’t go, at any rate,” said Alice.
爱丽丝说,
“Besides, that’s not a regular rule: you invented it just now.”
“此外,这不是常规规则:你刚刚发明了它。 “
“It’s the oldest rule in the book,” said the King.
国王说,
“Then it ought to be Number One,” said Alice.
爱丽丝说,“那就应该是头号了。”
The King turned pale, and shut his notebook hastily.
国王变苍白了,匆忙地关闭了笔记本.
“Consider your verdict,” he said to the jury, in a low, trembling voice.
“考虑到你的判决”,他以低调而颤抖的声音对陪审团说。
“There’s more evidence to come yet, please Your Majesty,” said the White Rabbit, jumping up in a great hurry.
白兔急忙跳起来。
“This paper has just been picked up.”
“本文件刚刚收到。 “
“What’s in it?”
" 里面有什么? “
said the Queen.
皇后说.
“I haven’t opened it yet,” said the White Rabbit, “but it seems to be a letter, written by the prisoner to—to somebody.”
“我还没有打开,”白兔说,“但似乎是囚犯写给别人的信。 “
“It must have been that,” said the King, “unless it was written to nobody, which isn’t usual, you know.”
国王说,“一定是那样的,”“除非是写给任何人的,这不常见。 “
“Who is it directed to?”
“它是针对谁的? “
said one of the jury-men.
说一个陪审员
“It isn’t directed at all,” said the White Rabbit.
白兔说,
“In fact, there’s nothing written on the outside.”
“事实上,外面没有写字。 “
He unfolded the paper as he spoke, and added, “It isn’t a letter, after all: it’s a set of verses.”
并补充说:「毕竟这不是一封信, “
“ Are they in the prisoner’s handwriting?”
“...... 囚犯的笔迹呢? “
asked another of the jury-men.
问另一个陪审员。
“No, they’re not,” said the White Rabbit, “and that’s the queerest thing about it.”
“不,他们不是,”白兔说,“这是最奇怪的事情。 “
(The jury all looked puzzled.)
(陪审团看起来都很困惑)
“He must have imitated somebody else’s hand,” said the King.
国王说,“他一定是模仿别人的手。”
(The jury all brightened up again.)
(陪审团再次亮出)
“Please, Your Majesty,” said the Knave, “I didn’t write it, and they can’t prove I did: there’s no name signed at the end.”
Knave说:「陛下, “
“If you didn’t sign it,” said the King, “that only makes the matter worse.
国王说:“如果你没有签署,
You must have meant some mischief, or else you’ d have signed your name like an honest man.”
否则你就会像一个诚实的人一样签名。 “
There was a general clapping of hands at this: it was the first really clever thing the King had said that day.
国王当日说的第一个很聪明的话
“That proves his guilt,” said the Queen: “so, off with—” “It proves nothing of the sort!”
女王说,“这证明他有罪”。 “这证明不了什么!”
said Alice.
说爱丽丝。
“Why, you don’t even know what they’re about!”
「为什么, “
“Read them,” said the King.
国王说,“读懂他们”。
The White Rabbit put on his spectacles.
白兔穿上了眼镜
“Where shall I begin, please Your Majesty?”
“请陛下从哪里开始? “
he asked.
他问。
“Begin at the beginning,” the King said gravely, “and go on till you come to the end: then stop.”
国王严肃地说,“从头开始,然后继续,直到你结束,然后停止。 “
There was dead silence in the court, whilst the Rabbit read out these verses: “They told me you had been to her, And mentioned me to him: She gave me a good character, But said I could not swim.
宫廷里一片寂静,而兔子却朗诵出这些诗句: “他们说:你们曾见过她,他们曾对他说:她给了我一个好品德,但说我不会游泳。
He sent them word I had not gone (We know it to be true): If she should push the matter on, What would become of you?
他使我所未去的消息降临他们, 如果她把事情推开,你会怎么样?
I gave her one, they gave him two, You gave us three or more; They all returned from him to you, Though they were mine before.
我给了她一个,他们给了他两个,你给了我们三个或三个以上。 虽然他们以前是我的。
If I or she should chance to be Involved in this affair, He trusts to you to set them free, Exactly as we were.
如果我或她有机会参与这件事 他信任你让他们自由 就像我们一样
My notion was that you had been (Before she had this fit) An obstacle that came between Him, and ourselves, and it.
我的想法是,你曾经是(之前她有这个适合) 这是他和我们之间的障碍
Don’t let him know she liked them best, For this must ever be A secret, kept from all the rest, Between yourself and me.”
别让他知道她最喜欢她们, “
“That’s the most important piece of evidence we’ve heard yet,” said the King, rubbing his hands; “so now let the jury—” “If any one of them can explain it,” said Alice (she had grown so large in the last few minutes that she wasn’t a bit afraid of interrupting him), “I’ll give him sixpence.
国王说,“这是我们所听到的最重要的证据,”国王说,“现在让陪审团来解释,”爱丽丝说,“如果他们中的任何人都能解释,”艾丽丝(她在过去几分钟里长得如此之大,她并不害怕打断他)说,“我会给他六便士。
I don’t believe there’s an atom of meaning in it.”
我并不认为这里面有什么意义。 “
The jury all wrote down on their slates, “She doesn’t believe there’s an atom of meaning in it,” but none of them attempted to explain the paper.
陪审团都写在他们的表上, “她不相信里面有其含义的原子”,
“If there’s no meaning in it,” said the King, “that saves a world of trouble, you know, as we needn’t try to find any.
国王说, “如果其中没有意义, “那就省下一个麻烦的世界,
And yet I don’t know,” he went on, spreading out the verses on his knee, and looking at them with one eye.
但我不知道,”他接着说,
“I seem to see some meaning in them, after all: ‘— said I could not swim—’ You can’t swim, can you?”
“我似乎在他们身上看到一些意义:我说我不能游泳, 你不会游泳吧? “
he added, turning to the Knave.
他补充说,转向克纳夫。
The Knave shook his head sadly.
克纳夫痛心地摇头.
“Do I look like it?”
“我看起来像吗? “
he said.
他说。
(Which he certainly did not, being made entirely of cardboard.)
他的确没有用纸板做的。
“ All right, so far,” said the King, and he went on muttering over the verses to himself: “ ‘We know it to be true— ’ that’s the jury, of course—‘I gave her one, they gave him two— ’ why, that must be what he did with the tarts, you know—” “But, it goes on, ‘They all returned from him to you,’ ” said Alice.
“...... 好吧,到目前为止,"国王说,"他继续抱怨那些诗句,对自己说:"‘我们知道这是真的,'这就是陪审团,当然,‘我给了她一个,他们给了他两个,'为什么,那一定是他用花纹做的,你知道... " 爱丽丝说: " 继续说,`他们都从他那里回到你身边'。
“Why, there they are!”
“为什么,他们在那里!”
said the King triumphantly, pointing to the tarts on the table.
国王说胜利,指着桌上的花纹。
“Nothing can be clearer than that.
“再清楚不过了。
Then again— ‘before she had this fit—’ you never had fits, my dear, I think?”
再说一遍,亲爱的,在她发病之前... ...你从来就不适合,我想? “
he said to the Queen.
他对女王说
“Never!”
永远不要!
said the Queen furiously, throwing an inkstand at the Lizard as she spoke.
女王愤怒地说,当她说话的时候,她向蜥蜴扔了个墨水亭.
(The unfortunate little Bill had left off writing on his slate with one finger, as he found it made no mark; but he now hastily began again, using the ink that was trickling down his face, as long as it lasted.)
(不幸的小比尔只留下一指一指地写出他的碑文,因为他发现碑文没有留下任何痕迹;但他现在又匆忙地开始,用正在他脸上流出一滴的墨水,只要它持续了下去.
“Then the words don’t fit you,” said the King, looking round the court with a smile.
国王说,“那么这些话不适合你”,他微笑地环顾法庭。
There was a dead silence.
时有寂灭.
“It’s a pun!”
" 这是一个双关语! "
the King added in an offended tone, and everybody laughed.
国王以冒犯的语气加了起来 大家都笑了
“Let the jury consider their verdict,” the King said, for about the twentieth time that day.
国王说,“让陪审团考虑他们的裁决”,大约是当天第二十次。
“No, no!”
“不,不!”
said the Queen.
皇后说.
“Sentence first— verdict afterwards.”
" 先出庭,然后作出判决。 “
“Stuff and nonsense!”
“胡说八道!”
said Alice loudly.
爱丽丝大声说
“The idea of having the sentence first!”
“先有句子的想法!”
“Hold your tongue!”
闭上你的舌头!
said the Queen, turning purple.
说出后人,变出紫色.
“I won’t!”
“我不会!”
said Alice.
说爱丽丝。
“Off with her head!”
"用她的头!"
the Queen shouted at the top of her voice.
女王在她的声音上高喊
Nobody moved.
没有人移动。
“Who cares for you?”
“谁在乎你? “
said Alice (she had grown to her full size by this time).
说爱丽丝(此时她已经长大了).
“You’re nothing but a pack of cards!”
"你不过是一包牌! “
At this the whole pack rose up into the air, and came flying down upon her: she gave a little scream, half of fright and half of anger, and tried to beat them off, and found herself lying on the bank, with her head in the lap of her sister, who was gently brushing away some dead leaves that had fluttered down from the trees upon her face.
此时整群人起起起身来向她飞来:她给了她一点尖叫,一半的恐惧和一半的愤怒,并想把他们打倒,却发现自己倒在了银行上,头被她姐姐的膝盖上,她正在轻轻地把从树上向她脸上倒下的一些枯叶擦去.
“Wake up, Alice dear!”
醒醒,亲爱的爱丽丝!
said her sister.
说她妹妹。
“Why, what a long sleep you’ve had!”
「为什么,
“Oh, I’ve had such a curious dream!”
“哦,我做了个奇怪的梦!”
said Alice, and she told her sister, as well as she could remember them, all these strange adventures of hers that you have just been reading about.
爱丽丝说,她告诉她的姐姐, 以及她能记得的, 所有这些奇怪的冒险 她的,你刚刚读到。
When she had finished, her sister kissed her, and said, “It was a curious dream, dear, certainly, but now run in to your tea.
当她吃完后,她姐姐吻了她,说:“亲爱的,这是个奇怪的梦,但现在去喝茶。
It’s getting late.”
已经很晚了。 “
So Alice got up and ran off, thinking while she ran, as well she might, what a wonderful dream it had been.
所以爱丽丝站起来跑掉了,想着当她跑的时候, 以及她可能, 这是一个多么美妙的梦。
But her sister sat still just as she left her, leaning her head on her hand, watching the setting sun, and thinking of little Alice and all her wonderful adventures, till she too began dreaming after a fashion, and this was her dream: First, she dreamed of little Alice herself, and once again the tiny hands were clasped upon her knee, and the bright eager eyes were looking up into hers—she could hear the very tones of her voice, and see that queer little toss of her head to keep back the wandering hair that would always get into her eyes.
但她的姐姐仍然坐在她离开的时候,把头放在手上,看着落日,想着小爱丽丝和她所有美妙的冒险,直到她也开始做时尚后的梦,这就是她的梦想: 首先,她梦见了小爱丽丝本人,又再次把细小的手被打在了她的膝盖上,而明亮的急切的双眼正仰望着她——她能听到她声音中非常多的声调,并看到她头部被那怪异的小指头来把总是会伸入她眼睛的徘徊的头发挡住.
And still as she listened, or seemed to listen, the whole place around her became alive with the strange creatures of her little sister’s dream.
在她听话或似乎听话的时候,她周围的整个地方都与她妹妹梦想中的奇怪生物相伴而生.
The long grass rustled at her feet as the White Rabbit hurried by and the frightened Mouse splashed his way through the neighbouring pool.
白兔匆匆赶来 被惊吓的老鼠从相邻的游泳池中溅出 长长的草在她脚下生锈
She could hear the rattle of the teacups as the March Hare and his friends shared their never- ending meal, and the shrill voice of the Queen ordering off her unfortunate guests to execution— once more the pig-baby was sneezing on the Duchess’s knee, while plates and dishes crashed around it—once more the shriek of the Gryphon, the squeaking of the Lizard’s slate-pencil, and the choking of the suppressed guinea-pigs, filled the air, mixed up with the distant sobs of the miserable Mock Turtle.
她能听到茶杯的响声,因为三月之兔和他的朋友们分享了他们永无止境的一餐,而女王的尖叫声命令她的不幸客人被处死——猪宝宝又一次在公爵夫人的膝盖上打喷嚏,而盘子和盘子则在它周围坠落——紧接着格里芬号的叫声,蜥蜴号的叫声和被压制的豚鼠被掐住,使空气充斥,与可怜的Mock Turtle的远处的苏布混在一起。
So she sat on, with closed eyes, and half believed herself in Wonderland, though she knew she had but to open them again, and all would change to dull reality—the grass would be only rustling in the wind, and the pool rippling to the waving of the reeds—the rattling teacups would change to tinkling sheep-bells, and the Queen’s shrill cries to the voice of the shepherd boy.
于是她闭着眼睛坐着,一半人相信自己在仙境,尽管她知道她必须再次打开它们,一切都会变成沉闷的现实——草只会生锈地在风中,池子会撕裂去挥起芦苇来——大鼠的茶杯会变成叮叮的羊铃,而女王的叫声会向牧羊童的声音发出叫声。
And the sneeze of the baby, the shriek of the Gryphon, and all the other queer noises, would change (she knew) to the confused clamour of the busy farmyard—while the lowing of the cattle in the distance would take the place of the Mock Turtle’s heavy sobs.
婴儿被打喷嚏、克赖芬号的叫声、以及所有其他的怪声会改变(她知道)繁忙的农庄里令人困惑的叫声,
Lastly, she pictured to herself how this same little sister of hers would, in the after-time, be herself a grown woman; and how she would keep, through all her riper years, the simple and loving heart of her childhood: and how she would gather about her other little children, and make their eyes bright and eager with many a strange tale, perhaps even with the dream of Wonderland of long ago: and how she would feel with all their simple sorrows, and find a pleasure in all their simple joys, remembering her own child-life, and the happy summer days.
最后,她自己想象到,她这个同一个人的小妹妹在后期会怎样成为成年女性;她会怎样保持她童年时期的朴素而慈爱的心:如何聚集起她其他的小孩,用许多奇怪的故事,也许甚至用很久以前的梦幻之地,让她们的眼睛明亮而渴望:她会怎样感受他们所有的朴实的悲伤,在他们所有的简单快乐中找到快乐,回忆她自己的孩子-生命,以及快乐的夏日.
