CHAPTER I.
第一章. 导言
Down the Rabbit-Hole lice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, “and what is the use of a book,” thought Alice, “without pictures or conversations?”
兔子-霍勒虱子开始厌倦坐在她妹妹的银行里, 也厌倦了无所事事:有一次或两次她偷窥到她姐姐正在看的书里, “
So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid), whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.
于是她自己在考虑(以及她可以考虑的,因为炎热的一天让她感到非常困倦和愚蠢),制作菊花链的乐趣是否值得起身去摘菊花的麻烦,当一只有粉红色眼睛的白兔突然跑到她身边时.
There was nothing so very remarkable in that; nor did Alice think it so very much out of the way to hear the Rabbit say to itself, “Oh dear!
没有什么了不起的;也没有。 爱丽丝认为这实在是太离谱了,听到兔子对自己说道:"哦,亲爱的!
Oh dear!
天呐!
I shall be late!”
我要迟到了!”
under the hedge.
在树篱下
In another moment down went Alice after it, never once considering how in the world she was to get out again.
爱丽丝在之后的又一瞬间 从未想过她会再次出狱
The rabbit-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly down, so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself before she found herself falling down a very deep well.
兔子洞像地道一样直走,有些路由,然后突然倒下,于是突然爱丽丝在发现自己倒入了很深的井前,没有一刻考虑阻止自己.
Either the well was very deep, or she fell very slowly, for she had plenty of time as she went down to look about her and to wonder what was going to happen next.
要么井很深,要么她跌得非常慢,因为她有充足的时间下去看她,并想知道接下来会发生什么.
First, she tried to look down and make out what she was coming to, but it was too dark to see anything; then she looked at the sides of the well, and noticed that they were filled with cupboards and book-shelves.
首先,她想俯视下看,把自己要来的东西弄出来,但太阴了,看不到任何东西;然后她看着井的两边,注意到它们被装满了柜子和书架.
Here and there she saw maps and pictures hung upon pegs.
这里和那里,她看到地图和相片挂在钉子上。
She took down a jar from one of the shelves as she passed; it was labeled “ orange marmalade,” but to her great disappointment it was empty.
她经过时从一个货架上取出一罐罐子,被贴上“橙色橘子酱”,但令她极为失望的是,罐子是空的。
She did not like to drop the jar for fear of killing somebody underneath, so managed to put it into one of the cupboards as she fell past it.
她不想把罐子掉下去 因为害怕在地上杀人 所以在她从柜子里掉下来的时候 把它放进一个橱柜里
“Well!”
说得好!
thought Alice to herself, “after such a fall as this, I shall think nothing of tumbling down stairs!
爱丽丝心里想,“在这样跌倒之后,我不会想到摔倒的楼梯!
How brave they’ll all think me at home!
他们都认为我在家,
Why, I wouldn’t say anything about it, even if I fell off the top of the house!”
即使我从房子顶上掉下来,
(Which was very likely true.)
(这很可能是真的。 )
Down, down, down.
倒地倒地倒地.
Would the fall never come to an end!
摔倒不会结束的!
“I wonder how many miles I’ve fallen by this time?”
“我不知道这个时候我跌了多少英里? “
she said aloud.
她大声说。
“I must be getting somewhere near the centre of the Earth.
“我必须接近地球中心。
Let me see: that would be four thousand miles down, I think—” (for, you see, Alice had learnt several things of this sort in her lessons in the schoolroom, and though this was not a very good opportunity for showing off her knowledge, as there was no one to listen to her, still it was good practice to say it over) “—yes, that’s about the right distance—but then I wonder what Latitude or Longitude I’ve got to?”
让我看看:那是四千多英里以下,我想——”(因为,你看,爱丽丝在教室的课上学到了几道这样的东西,虽然这不是一个很好的机会来展示她的知识,因为没有人可以听她的话,但还是好的做法来说出来)“——是的,这是关于正确的距离,但是我不知道我必须走什么纬度或经度? “
(Alice had no idea what Latitude was, or Longitude either, but thought they were nice grand words to say.)
(爱丽丝不知道"纬度"是什么,也不知"经度"是什么,但认为这些话是好大的话. )
Presently she began again.
目前她又开始了。
“I wonder if I shall fall right through the Earth!
“我不知道我是否会从地上掉下来!
How funny it’ll seem to come out among the people that walk with their heads downward!
在那些头朝下行走的人们中,
The Antipathies, I think—” (she was rather glad there was no one listening, this time, as it didn’t sound at all the right word) “—but I shall have to ask them what the name of the country is, you know.
我认为,“(她很高兴这次没有人听,因为它听上去完全不正确)“——但我必须问他们国家的名称是什么。
Please, ma’am, is this New Zealand or Australia?”
女士,这是新西兰还是澳大利亚? “
(and she tried to curtsey as she spoke—fancy curtseying as you’re falling through the air!
她一说话就想弯腰,
Do you think you could manage it?)
你觉得你能应付吗? )
“ And what an ignorant little girl she’ll think me for asking!
“...... 她会认为我是在问这个,
No, it’ll never do to ask: perhaps I shall see it written up somewhere.”
不,它永远不会问:也许我会在什么地方看到它。 “
Down, down, down.
倒地倒地倒地.
There was nothing else to do, so Alice soon began talking again.
没有别的事可做 所以爱丽丝很快又开始说话了
“Dinah’ll miss me very much tonight, I should think!”
“Dinah今晚会非常想念我,
cats eat bats, I wonder?”
猫会吃蝙蝠吗? “
And here Alice began to get rather sleepy, and went on saying to herself, in a dreamy sort of way, “Do cats eat bats?
爱丽丝开始很困, 继续用梦幻的方式对自己说:“猫会吃蝙蝠吗?
Do cats eat bats?”
猫会吃蝙蝠吗? “
and sometimes, “Do bats eat cats?”
有时,“蝙蝠会吃猫吗? “
for, you see, as she couldn’t answer either question, it didn’t much matter which way she put it.
因为她无法回答任何问题,
She felt that she was dozing off, and had just begun to dream that she was walking hand in hand with Dinah, and saying to her very earnestly, “Now, Dinah, tell me the truth: did you ever eat a bat?”
她觉得自己在打瞌睡,刚开始梦到她正与迪纳并肩行走,并非常真诚地对她说:“现在,迪纳,告诉我真相:你吃过蝙蝠吗? “
when suddenly, thump!
突然间,砰!
thump!
砰！
Down she came upon a heap of sticks and dry leaves, and the fall was over.
倒下她碰上一堆棍子和干叶子 秋天就结束了
Alice was not a bit hurt, and she jumped up on to her feet in a moment: she looked up, but it was all dark overhead; before her was another long passage, and the White Rabbit was still in sight, hurrying down it.
爱丽丝没有受到一点伤害,一瞬间她就跳起脚来:她抬起头来,但上面都是阴暗的;在她又经过了一段很长的路口之前,白兔还在视线下,匆匆地下来了.
There was not a moment to be lost: away went Alice like the wind, and was just in time to hear it say, as it turned a corner, “Oh my ears and whiskers, how late it’s getting!”
没有一刻可失:走了 爱丽丝喜欢风, 正好听到它说:“我的耳朵和胡子,
She was close behind it when she turned the corner, but the Rabbit was no longer to be seen: she found herself in a long, low hall, which was lit up by a row of lamps hanging from the roof.
她转过角去后就很近了,但"兔子"不再被看见了:她发现自己在一个长而低的大厅中被一排从屋顶上吊起的灯光所照亮.
There were doors all round the hall, but they were all locked; and when Alice had been all the way down one side and up the other, trying every door, she walked sadly down the middle, wondering how she was ever to get out again.
大厅四周有门,但都锁了;而当爱丽丝一路下到一面并上到一面,尝试了每一扇门时,她悲哀地走入了中间,想着她如何再出来.
Suddenly she came upon a little three-legged table, all made of solid glass.
突然她走到一个三脚小的桌子上,都由坚固的玻璃制成.
There was nothing on it except a tiny golden key, and Alice’s first thought was that it might belong to one of the doors of the hall; but, alas!
上面只有一把小金钥匙,爱丽丝最初的想法是,它可能属于大厅的一扇门;但是,啊!
Either the locks were too large, or the key was too small, but at any rate it would not open any of them.
要么锁太大了,要么钥匙太小了,但无论如何都不会打开任何锁.
However, on the second time round, she came upon a low curtain she had not noticed before, and behind it was a little door about fifteen inches high: she tried the little golden key in the lock, and to her great delight it fitted!
然而,在第二轮比赛中,她来到了她之前没有注意到的一面低矮的窗帘上,而幕后是一扇大约15英寸高的小门:她试了锁上的小金钥匙,她非常高兴地把它装上来!
Alice opened the door and found that it led into a small passage, not much larger than a rat-hole: she knelt down and looked along the passage into the loveliest garden you ever saw.
爱丽丝打开了门,发现它引入了一条小通道,没有老鼠洞那么大:她向下跪下并沿着通道看着你见过的最可爱的花园.
How she longed to get out of that dark hall, and wander about among those beds of bright flowers and those cool fountains, but she could not even get her head through the doorway.
她多么渴望走出那个黑暗的大厅, 漫游在这些床上 明亮的花和那些凉爽的喷泉, 但她甚至不能得到她的头 通过门道。
“ And even if my head would go through,” thought poor Alice, “it would be of very little use without my shoulders.
“...... 即使我的头会过去,” 可怜的爱丽丝认为,“没有我的肩膀,那也没什么用处。
Oh, how I wish I could shut up like a telescope!
真希望我能像望远镜一样闭嘴!
I think I could, if I only knew how to begin.”
我想我可以,只要我知道怎么开始。 “
For, you see, so many out-of-the-way things had happened lately, that Alice had begun to think that very few things indeed were really impossible.
爱丽丝开始认为 很少的事情真的不可能发生
There seemed to be no use in waiting by the little door, so she went back to the table, half hoping she might find another key on it, or at any rate a book of rules for shutting people up like telescopes: this time she found a little bottle on it (“which certainly was not here before,” said Alice), and round the neck of the bottle was a paper label, with the words “ drink me ” beautifully printed on it in large letters.
在小门边等待似乎毫无用处,所以她回到了桌子上,一半希望她能在桌子上找到另一把钥匙,或者至少是一本把人们像望远镜一样关起来的规则书:这次她发现瓶子上有一个小瓶子(这瓶子以前肯定不在这里,爱丽丝说),瓶子的颈部是纸上的一个标签,上面写着"喝我"的字样被用大字母精心地印出.
It was all very well to say “Drink me,” but the wise little Alice was not going to do that in a hurry.
说出“喝我,”是非常好的,但聪明的小爱丽丝不会匆忙这样做。
“No, I’ll look first,” she said, “and see whether it’s marked ‘poison’ or not”; for she had read several nice little histories about children who had got burnt, and eaten up by wild beasts and other unpleasant things, all because they would not remember the simple rules their friends had taught them: such as, that a red-hot poker will burn you if you hold it too long; and that if you cut your finger very deeply with a knife, it usually bleeds.
“不,我先看一看,”她说,“看它是否标有‘poison';因为她读了几篇关于被野兽烧伤并被野兽吃下以及其他令人不快的东西的儿童的好小史;这一切都是因为他们不记起他们朋友教给他们的简单规则:比如,如果握得太长,红热扑克会烧死你;如果你用刀把手指切得非常深,通常会出血。
And she had never forgotten that, if you drink much from a bottle marked “poison,” it is almost certain to disagree with you, sooner or later.
她从未忘记,如果你从一瓶被标记为“poison”的酒中喝出很多酒,那么几乎肯定迟早会与你产生分歧。
However, this bottle was not marked “poison,” so Alice ventured to taste it, and finding it very nice (it had, in fact, a sort of mixed flavour of cherry-tart, custard, pineapple, roast turkey, toffee, and hot buttered toast), she very soon finished it off.
然而,这瓶酒并没有被标记为“宝生 ” , 所以爱丽丝冒险去品尝它, 并且发现它非常漂亮(事实上,它有一种混合的香味, 樱桃花,花椰子,菠萝,烤火鸡,豆腐和热奶油的吐司), 她很快就完成了。
“What a curious feeling!”
“多么奇怪的感觉!”
said Alice.
说爱丽丝。
“I must be shutting up like a telescope.”
“我必须像望远镜一样关闭。 “
And so it was indeed: she was now only ten inches high, and her face brightened up at the thought that she was now the right size for going through the little door into that lovely garden.
确实,她现在只有10英寸高, 她的脸亮了起来, 认为她现在是合适的尺寸, 可以穿过小门进入可爱的花园。
First, however, she waited for a few minutes to see if she was going to shrink any further: she felt a little nervous about this; “for it might end, you know,” said Alice to herself, “in my going out altogether, like a candle.
然而,首先,她等待了几分钟,看看她是否会进一步收缩:她对此感到有些紧张;“因为事情可能会结束,你知道,”爱丽丝对自己说,“在我出去时,就像蜡烛一样。
I wonder what I should be like then?”
我不知道我应该怎么样? “
And she tried to fancy what the flame of a candle is like after the candle is blown out, for she could not remember ever having seen such a thing.
她试图想一想蜡烛被吹出后的火焰是什么样子,因为她不记得曾经见过这样的事.
After a while, finding that nothing more happened, she decided on going into the garden at once; but, alas for poor Alice!
过了一段时间,她发现没有更多的事情发生,决定立刻去花园;但是,为可怜的爱丽丝哀叹!
When she got to the door, she found she had forgotten the little golden key, and when she went back to the table for it, she found she could not possibly reach it.
到了门后她发现自己已经忘记了那把小金钥匙,回到桌子上拿来时,她发现自己不可能到达.
She could see it quite plainly through the glass, and she tried her best to climb up one of the legs of the table, but it was too slippery; and when she had tired herself out with trying, the poor little thing sat down and cried.
她通过玻璃可以非常清晰地看到,她尽了最大的努力爬上桌子上一条腿,但太滑了;当她因尝试而疲惫出局时,可怜的小东西坐下来哭.
“Come, there’s no use in crying like that!”
「来吧, “
was very fond of pretending to be two people.
他很喜欢假装成两个人
“But it’s no use now,” thought poor Alice, “to pretend to be two people!
可怜的爱丽丝认为“装成两个人,
Why, there’s hardly enough of me left to make one respectable person!”
为什么,我还剩不到足够让一个人受人尊重! “
Soon her eye fell on a little glass box that was lying under the table: she opened it, and found in it a very small cake, on which the words “ eat me ” were beautifully marked in currants.
很快,她的眼睛就倒在了放在桌子下的一个小玻璃盒上:她打开了这个盒子,发现一个很小的蛋糕,上面的“吃我”字被用咒语标出。
“Well, I’ll eat it,” said Alice, “and if it makes me grow larger, I can reach the key; and if it makes me grow smaller, I can creep under the door; so either way I’ll get into the garden, and I don’t care which happens!”
爱丽丝说,“如果它让我变大,我就能拿到钥匙;如果它使我变小,我就能爬到门下;所以无论哪种方式,我都能进入花园, 我不在乎会发生什么! “
She ate a little bit, and said anxiously to herself, “Which way?
她吃了一点,并急切地对自己说:“哪一种方式?
Which way?”
哪边? “
holding her hand on the top of her head to feel which way it was growing, and she was quite surprised to find that she remained the same size: to be sure, this generally happens when one eats cake, but Alice had got so much into the way of expecting nothing but out-of-the-way things to happen, that it seemed quite dull and stupid for life to go on in the common way.
她很惊讶地发现她保持了同样的体型:可以肯定的是,这通常发生在一个人吃蛋糕的时候,但爱丽丝却陷入了无所事事的等待之中,以至于在共同的道路上继续生活似乎相当无聊和愚蠢。
So she set to work, and very soon finished off the cake.
于是她开始工作,很快完成了蛋糕.
CHAPTER II.
第二章
The Pool of Tears “Curiouser and curiouser!”
眼泪之池“更神秘更好奇!”
cried Alice (she was so much surprised, that for the moment she quite forgot how to speak good English); “now I’m opening out like the largest telescope that ever was!
哭着爱丽丝(她太惊讶了,
Good-bye, feet!”
再见,脚!”
(for when she looked down at her feet, they seemed to be almost out of sight, they were getting so far off).
(因为当她俯视下她的脚, 他们似乎几乎不在视线之外,
“Oh, my poor little feet, I wonder who will put on your shoes and stockings for you now, dears?
“哦,我可怜的小脚,我想知道现在谁会为你穿上鞋子和袜子呢,亲爱的?
I’m sure I shan’t be able!
我肯定我做不到!
I shall be a great deal too far off to trouble myself about you: you must manage the best way you can; —but I must be kind to them,” thought Alice, “or perhaps they won’t walk the way I want to go!
但我必须对他们友善, 爱丽丝认为“或许他们不会走我想走的路!
Let me see: I’ll give them a new pair of boots every Christmas.”
让我看看:每个圣诞节我会给他们一双新靴子。 “
And she went on planning to herself how she would manage it.
她继续计划如何管理
“They must go by the carrier,” she thought, “and how funny it’ll seem, sending presents to one’s own feet!
“他们必须走在航母旁边,”她认为,“看起来会很有趣,
And how odd the directions will look!
如何奇怪的方向会看起来!
Alice’s Right Foot, Esq.
爱丽丝右脚 Esq.
Hearthrug, near the Fender, (with Alice’s love).
爱丽丝的爱。
“Oh dear, what nonsense I’m talking!”
“哦,亲爱的,我在说什么胡话!”
Just then her head struck against the roof of the hall: in fact she was now more than nine feet high, and she at once took up the little golden key and hurried off to the garden door.
就在这时她的头被撞倒了大厅的屋顶:事实上她现在已经高了9多英尺了,她立刻拿起小金钥匙,匆匆地跑去花园门.
Poor Alice!
可怜的爱丽丝!
It was as much as she could do, lying down on one side, to look through into the garden with one eye; but to get through was more hopeless than ever.
她躺倒在一旁,用一只眼睛看着花园;但穿过花园却比以往更无望.
She sat down and began to cry again.
她坐下来,开始再哭.
“You ought to be ashamed of yourself,” said Alice, “a great girl like you” (she might well say this), “to go on crying in this way!
爱丽丝说:“你应该为自己感到羞耻,”爱丽丝说,“像你这样伟大的女孩”(她可能这样说),“继续这样哭泣!”
Stop this moment, I tell you!”
停止这一刻,我告诉你!”
But she went on all the same, shedding gallons of tears, until there was a large pool all round her, about four inches deep and reaching half down the hall.
但是她继续这样, 流出一加仑的眼泪, 直到有一个大池子 全部围绕她, 大约4英寸深, 并到达一半的大厅。
After a time she heard a little pattering of feet in the distance, and she hastily dried her eyes to see what was coming.
过了一段时间,她听到在远处有一小段脚被打出声来,她匆匆地把眼睛干干来看看接下来会发生什么.
It was the White Rabbit returning, splendidly dressed, with a pair of white kid gloves in one hand and a large fan in the other: he came trotting along in a great hurry, muttering to himself as he came, “Oh!
是"白兔"回来后穿得很漂亮,一只手拿着一双白色的小孩手套,另一只手拿着一双大扇子:他急忙赶来,在赶来的时候自言自语道:"哦!
The Duchess, the Duchess!
公爵夫人,公爵夫人们!
Oh!
瓳
Won’t she be savage if I’ve kept her waiting!”
如果我让她久等, “
Alice felt so desperate that she was ready to ask help of anyone; so, when the Rabbit came near her, she began, in a low, timid voice, “If you please, sir—” The Rabbit started violently, dropped the white kid gloves and the fan, and scurried away into the darkness as hard as he could go.
爱丽丝感到如此绝望,她准备向任何人求助;因此,当兔子靠近她时,她以低而胆小的声音开始,“如果你愿意的话,先生——”兔子暴力地开始,把白色的小孩手套和扇子放下来,并冲入黑暗中,尽他所能地走去。
Alice took up the fan and gloves, and, as the hall was very hot, she kept fanning herself all the time she went on talking: “Dear, dear!
爱丽丝拿起风扇和手套,由于大厅非常热闹,她一直不停地给自己打风扇: “亲爱的,亲爱的!
How queer everything is today!
今天的一切都很变态!
And yesterday things went on just as usual.
昨天事情还是往常发展
I wonder if I’ve been changed in the night?
我怀疑我晚上有没有变?
Let me think: was I the same when I got up this morning?
让我想想:我早上起床时也是一样吗?
I almost think I can remember feeling a little different.
我几乎觉得我可以记得 感觉有点不同。
But if I’m not the same, the next question is, who in the world am I?
如果我不一样,下一个问题是,我是谁?
Ah, that’s the great puzzle!”
这才是伟大的谜题。
And she began thinking over all the children she knew that were of the same age as herself, to see if she could have been changed for any of them.
她开始思考所有她认识的孩子 她和自己同年龄的孩子, 看看她是否能被改变。
“I’m sure I’m not Ada,” she said, “for her hair goes in such long ringlets, and mine doesn’t go in ringlets at all; and I’m sure I can’t be Mabel, for I know all sorts of things, and she, oh!
“我肯定我不是Ada,”她说,“因为她的头发戴了这么长的戒指,我的头发根本不戴戒指;我相信我不可能是Mabel,
She knows such a very little!
她知道这么一点!
Besides, she’s she, and I’m I, and—oh dear, how puzzling it all is!
更何况她是她, 而我,
I’ll try if I know all the things I used to know.
如果我知道以前所有的事,
“Let me see: four times five is twelve, and four times six is thirteen, and four times seven is— oh dear!
" 让我看看:4乘以5是12,而4乘以6是13,4乘以7是-哦,亲爱的!
I shall never get to twenty at that rate!
这样我永远到不了20分!
However, the Multiplication Table doesn’t signify: let’s try Geography.
然而,乘法 表格并不表示:让我们试试地理。
London is the capital of Paris, and Paris is the capital of Rome, and Rome— no, that’s all wrong, I’m certain!
伦敦是巴黎的首都, 巴黎是罗马的首都,
I must have been changed for Mabel!
我一定是换了梅宝!
I’ll try and say ‘How doth the little—’” and she crossed her hands on her lap as if she were saying lessons, and began to repeat it, but her voice sounded hoarse and strange, and the words did not come the same as they used to do: “ How doth the little crocodile Improve his shining tail, And pour the waters of the Nile On every golden scale!
我将试着说:小鳄鱼如何改善他闪耀的尾巴, 她把双手伸到她腿上, 好像在说教一样,
How cheerfully he seems to grin, How neatly spread his claws, And welcome little fishes in With gently smiling jaws!”
他笑得真开心 他的爪子如何清晰地伸开, 欢迎小鱼入来,
“I’m sure those are not the right words,” said poor Alice, and her eyes filled with tears again as she went on.
可怜的爱丽丝说, “我肯定这些话不正确, ”她的眼睛又流了泪,
“I must be Mabel after all, and I shall have to go and live in that poky little house, and have next to no toys to play with, and—oh!
" 毕竟我一定是梅贝尔,我必须去住在那个肮脏的小房子里,没有玩具可以玩,而且——哦!
ever so many lessons to learn!
有这么多的教训要学习!
“No, I’ve made up my mind about it; if I’m Mabel, I’ll stay down here!
“不,我已对此下定决心;如果我是马贝尔,我就留在这!
It’ll be no use their putting their heads down and saying, ‘Come up again, dear!’
他们低头说:再上来吧! " ; "
I shall only look up and say, ‘Who am I then?
我将只抬头问道:"那我是谁?
Tell me that first, and then, if I like being that person, I’ll come up: if not, I’ll stay down here till I’m somebody else’—but, oh dear!”
首先告诉我, 然后, 如果我想成为那个人, 我会上来:否则,
very tired of being all alone here!”
厌倦了一个人在这里! “
As she said this she looked down at her hands, and was surprised to see that she had put on one of the Rabbit’s little white kid gloves while she was talking.
在她说话的时候, 她戴了一只小白手套。
“How can I have done that?”
“我怎么能这样做? “
she thought.
她认为。
“I must be growing small again.”
“我一定又变小了。 “
She got up and went to the table to measure herself by it, and found that, as nearly as she could guess, she was now about two feet high, and was going on shrinking rapidly.
她站起来,走到桌子上用它来测量自己,发现,就像她能猜到的那样,她现在大约有两英尺高,并且正在迅速收缩.
She soon found out that the cause of this was the fan she was holding, and she dropped it hastily, just in time to avoid shrinking away altogether.
她很快发现这件事的起因是她拿着的扇子,她匆匆地放下了它,正好及时避免了完全收缩.
“That was a narrow escape!”
“这是一次狭小的逃跑!”
said Alice, a good deal frightened at the sudden change, but very glad to find herself still in existence.
爱丽丝说,一个很好的交易 害怕突然的变化, 但很高兴发现自己仍然存在。
“ And now for the garden!”
“...... 现在去花园!”
and she ran with all speed back to the little door: but, alas!
她急速跑回了小门:但是,啊!
The little door was shut again, and the little golden key was lying on the glass table as before.
小门又被关了,小金钥匙也像以前一样倒在了玻璃桌上.
“ And things are worse than ever,” thought the poor child, “for I never was so small as this before, never!
“...... 这可怜的孩子认为:“我从来没有像以前这样小,
And I declare it’s too bad, that it is!”
我宣布这太糟糕了, “
As she said these words her foot slipped, and in another moment, splash!
正如她说的,她的脚滑倒了, 在另一刻,喷出!
She was up to her chin in salt water.
她的下巴在盐水里。
Her first idea was that she had somehow fallen into the sea, “ And in that case I can go back by railway,” she said to herself.
她的第一个想法是,她不知何故倒入了大海,“如果这样,我可以坐火车回去。”
(Alice had been to the seaside once in her life, and had come to the general conclusion, that wherever you go to on the English coast you find a number of bathing machines in the sea, some children digging in the sand with wooden spades, then a row of lodging houses, and behind them a railway station.)
(艾莉丝一生中去过海边,并得出一个总的结论,无论你到英国海岸哪里,都会在海中发现多台洗澡机,有些孩子用木头黑桃在沙地上挖地,然后是一排宿舍,后面是火车站.
However, she soon made out that she was in the pool of tears which she had wept when she was nine feet high.
然而,她很快就说出,她在9英尺高的时候流了眼泪。
“I wish I hadn’t cried so much!”
“我希望我没有哭得这么惨! “
said Alice, as she swam about, trying to find her way out.
爱丽丝说,当她游来游去, 想找到她的出路。
“I shall be punished for it now, I suppose, by being drowned in my own tears!
“我想,我现在将为此而受惩罚,被自己眼泪所淹没。
That will be a queer thing, to be sure!
肯定有怪事发生!
However, everything is queer today.”
然而,今天一切都很怪异。 “
Just then she heard something splashing about in the pool a little way off, and she swam nearer to make out what it was: at first she thought it must be a walrus or hippopotamus, but then she remembered how small she was now, and she soon made out that it was only a mouse that had slipped in like herself.
刚刚她听到有东西在游泳池中溅出出一个小道来,她更靠近地游出它是什么:起初她认为它一定是海象或河马,但后来她想起她现在有多小,她很快就发现它只是一只像自己一样滑入的老鼠.
“Would it be of any use, now,” thought Alice, “to speak to this mouse?
“现在,”爱丽丝认为,“对这只老鼠说话有什么用吗?
Everything is so out-of- the-way down here, that I should think very likely it can talk: at any rate, there’s no harm in trying.”
所有事情都离这里太远了, 所以我应该觉得它很可能会说话:不管怎样, “
So she began: “O Mouse, do you know the way out of this pool?
于是她开始说:“哦,老鼠,你知道这游泳池的出路吗?

(Alice thought this must be the right way of speaking to a mouse; she had never done such a thing before, but she remembered having seen in her brother’s Latin Grammar, “ A mouse—of a mouse—to a mouse— a mouse—O mouse!”
(爱丽丝认为这一定是对老鼠说话的正确方式;她以前从未做过这样的事,但她记得在她哥哥的拉丁语语法中曾看到过"一只老鼠-一只老鼠-一只老鼠-一只老鼠-". 老鼠!"
The Mouse looked at her rather inquisitively, and seemed to her to wink with one of its little eyes, but it said nothing.
