CHAPTER V.
第五章
Advice from a Caterpillar he Caterpillar and Alice looked at each other for some time in silence: at last the Caterpillar took the hookah out of its mouth, and addressed her in a languid, sleepy voice.
来自卡特彼勒的忠告 卡特彼勒和爱丽丝默默地看着对方: 终于卡特彼勒从嘴里取出钩子, 用沉闷而沉闷的口音对她说话。
“Who are you?”
“你是谁? “
said the Caterpillar.
说卡特彼勒。
This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation.
这不是一个令人鼓舞的开场谈话。
Alice replied, shyly, “I—I hardly know, sir, just at present—at least I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.”
爱丽丝羞涩地回答道:"我,我几乎不知道,先生,只是现在——至少我知道我早上起床时是谁,但我认为我从那时起一定已经改变过几次了. “
“What do you mean by that?”
“这是什么意思? “
said the Caterpillar sternly.
卡特比勒说很严厉
“Explain yourself!”
“解释一下!”
“I can’t explain myself, I’m afraid, sir,” said Alice, “because I’m not myself, you see.”
爱丽丝说:“我无法解释自己, “
“I don’t see,” said the Caterpillar.
卡特彼勒说,
“I’m afraid I can’t put it more clearly,” Alice replied very politely, “for I can’t understand it myself to begin with, and being so many different sizes in a day is very confusing.”
爱丽丝非常礼貌地回答说 : “ 因为我自己无法理解, “
In Part 2 of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Alice hands out prizes for a crazy Caucus-race.
在《爱丽丝在仙境的冒险》的第二部分中,爱丽丝为疯狂的核心小组赛颁发了奖金。
Then, she consumes food and drink, which have an interesting effect on her size.
然后,她消费食物和饮料,这对她的体型产生了有趣的影响.
“It isn’t,” said the Caterpillar.
卡特彼勒说,
“Well, perhaps you haven’t found it so yet,” said Alice, “but when you have to turn into a chrysalis—you will some day, you know—and then after that into a butterfly, I should think you’ll feel it a little queer, won’t you?”
爱丽丝说, “也许你还没有发现, ”但当你必须变成一个chrysalis时, “
“Not a bit,” said the Caterpillar.
卡特彼勒说,“一点也没有。”
“Well, perhaps your feelings may be different,” said Alice.
爱丽丝说:“也许你的感受会不同,”
“I know it would feel very queer to me.”
“我知道这对我来说会很怪异。 “
“You!”
你们!
said the Caterpillar contemptuously.
卡特比勒轻蔑地说
“Who are you?”
“你是谁? “
Which brought them back again to the beginning of the conversation.
这使得他们再次回到对话的开始。
Alice felt a little irritated at the Caterpillar’s making such very short remarks, and she drew herself up and said, very gravely, “I think you ought to tell me who you are, first.”
爱丽丝对卡特彼勒发表如此简短的言论感到有些烦恼,她画出自己的画来,非常严肃地说,“我认为你应该先告诉我你是谁。 “
“Why?”
“为什么?”
said the Caterpillar.
说卡特彼勒。
Here was another puzzling question; and as Alice could not think of any good reason, and as the Caterpillar seemed to be in a very unpleasant state of mind, she turned away.
这是另一个令人费解的问题;由于爱丽丝无法想到任何好的理由,而卡特彼勒似乎处于非常不愉快的心态,她转而离去.
“Come back!”
回来!
the Caterpillar called after her.
卡特彼勒打给她了
“I’ve something important to say!”
「我有重要的事情要说!
This sounded promising, certainly: Alice turned and came back again.
这听起来很有希望,当然: 爱丽丝转身又回来了
“Keep your temper,” said the Caterpillar.
卡特彼勒说,“保持你的脾气。”
“Is that all?”
“就这样吗? “
said Alice, swallowing down her anger as well as she could.
爱丽丝说, 吞下她的愤怒,尽可能地。
“No,” said the Caterpillar.
卡特彼勒说:“不,”
Alice thought she might as well wait, as she had nothing else to do, and perhaps after all it might tell her something worth hearing.
爱丽丝认为她应该等待, 因为她没有别的事情做, 也许毕竟它可能告诉她一些值得听的东西。
For some minutes it puffed away without speaking, but at last it unfolded its arms, took the hookah out of its mouth again, and said, “So you think you’re changed, do you?”
几分钟来,它不说话就膨胀了起来,但终于伸出了手臂,又把钩子从嘴里取出,说道:“你觉得你变了,是吗? “
“I’m afraid I am, sir,” said Alice.
爱丽丝说,
“I can’t remember things as I used to—and I don’t keep the same size for ten minutes together!”
我无法像过去那样回忆, “
“Can’t remember what things?”
" 不记得什么事情了吗? “
said the Caterpillar.
说卡特彼勒。
“Well, I’ve tried to say ‘How doth the little busy bee,’ but it all came different!”
我试着说, 忙碌的小蜜蜂, “
Alice replied in a very melancholy voice.
爱丽丝回答时非常忧郁.
“Repeat ‘You are old, Father William,’” said the Caterpillar.
" 卡特彼勒说:`威廉神父,你已经老了'。
Alice folded her hands, and began: “‘You are old, Father William,’ the young man said, ‘ And your hair has become very white; And yet you incessantly stand on your head— Do you think, at your age, it is right?’
爱丽丝折了她的手,然后说:`威廉神父,你已经老了',年轻人说:`你的头发变得非常白了,你却不停地站在你的头上, 你觉得,在你这个年纪,这是正确的吗? " ; "
But, now that I’m perfectly sure I have none, Why, I do it again and again.’
但现在我完全确定我没有, " ; "
And have grown most uncommonly fat; Yet you turned a back-somersault in at the door— Pray, what is the reason of that?’
你却在门前转过一圈来,你为什么这样呢? " ; "
By the use of this ointment —one shilling the box— Allow me to sell you a couple?’
用这药膏... 一先令的盒子... 请允许我卖给你一对夫妇? " ; "
For anything tougher than suet; Yet you finished the goose, with the bones and the beak— Pray how did you manage to do it?’
对于比起诉更严厉的事 你用骨头和喙把鹅吃了。你怎样做到的? " ; "
And argued each case with my wife; And the muscular strength, which it gave to my jaw, Has lasted the rest of my life.’
每起案子都和我太太争辩; 肌肉的力量, 它给了我的下巴, 一直维持我的余生。 " ; "
That your eye was as steady as ever; Yet you balanced an eel on the end of your nose— What made you so awfully clever?’
你的眼睛原是坚固的,你却使一只鳗鱼在你的鼻子上平衡。 你怎么这么聪明? " ; "
Said his father; ‘don’t give yourself airs!
他的父亲说:不要给自己空气!
Do you think I can listen all day to such stuff?
你觉得我能整天听这些东西吗?
Be off, or I’ll kick you down stairs!’
走开,否则我把你踢下楼梯! " ; "
“That is not said right,” said the Caterpillar.
卡特彼勒说,“这种说法不正确”。
“Not quite right, I’m afraid,” said Alice, timidly.
爱丽丝胆怯地说,
“Some of the words have got altered.”
“有些词语被修改了。 “
“It is wrong from beginning to end,” said the Caterpillar decidedly, and there was silence for some minutes.
卡特彼勒坚决说,“从开始到结束都是错误的”,沉默了几分钟。
The Caterpillar was the first to speak.
卡特彼勒是第一个说话的人.
“What size do you want to be?”
“你想成为什么样的人? “
it asked.
它问。
“Oh, I’m not particular as to size,” Alice hastily replied; “only one doesn’t like changing so often, you k now.”
爱丽丝匆匆回答:「只有一个人不喜欢变化如此频繁, “
“I don’t know,” said the Caterpillar.
“我不知道,”卡特彼勒说。
Alice said nothing: she had never been so much contradicted in her life before, and she felt that she was losing her temper.
爱丽丝什么也没说:她之前的生活中从未有过如此多的矛盾,她觉得自己正在发脾气.
“ Are you content now?”
“...... 你现在满意了吗? “
said the Caterpillar.
说卡特彼勒。
“Well, I should like to be a little larger, sir, if you wouldn’t mind,” said Alice.
爱丽丝说,
“Three inches is such a wretched height to be.”
“三英寸的高度如此之高。 “
“It is a very good height indeed!”
这确是一个很好的高度。
said the Caterpillar angrily, rearing itself upright as it spoke (it was exactly three inches high).
卡特彼勒怒气冲冲地说,他说话的时候正直地抚育自己(其实是高了三英寸)。
“But I’m not used to it!”
但我不习惯! “
pleaded poor Alice in a piteous tone.
可怜的爱丽丝以尖刻的语气恳求
And she thought to herself, “I wish the creatures wouldn’t be so easily offended!”
她心里想道, “我希望这些生物不会轻易得罪!
“You’ll get used to it in time,” said the Caterpillar, and it put the hookah into its mouth and began smoking again.
卡特彼勒说,“你会及时习惯的,”它把钩子放入口中,又开始吸烟。
This time Alice waited patiently until it chose to speak again.
这一次爱丽丝耐心地等待,直到它选择再次说话.
In a minute or two the Caterpillar took the hookah out of its mouth and yawned once or twice, and shook itself.
一两分钟后,卡特彼勒把钩子从口中取出,并打了一两次打哈欠,自相震撼.
Then it got down off the mushroom, and crawled away in the grass, merely remarking as it went, “One side will make you grow taller, and the other side will make you grow shorter.”
然后,它从蘑菇上下来,爬出草地,只说“一方会使你变高,另一方会使你变短。 “
“One side of what?
“什么的一面?
The other side of what?”
另一边是什么? “
thought Alice to herself.
认为爱丽丝自己。
“Of the mushroom,” said the Caterpillar, just as if she had asked it aloud; and in another moment it was out of sight.
卡特彼勒说,“蘑菇,”就像她大声要求的那样;在另一个时刻,它已经看不见了。
Alice remained looking thoughtfully at the mushroom for a minute, trying to make out which were the two sides of it; and as it was perfectly round, she found this a very difficult question.
爱丽丝一直深思熟虑地注视着蘑菇一分钟,试图找出其中的两面;由于它完全圆了,她发现这是一个非常困难的问题.
However, at last she stretched her arms round it as far as they would go, and broke off a bit of the edge with each hand.
然而,她终于伸出手臂 绕来绕去,只要它们走去, 并用每一只手打破了一点点的边缘。
“ And now which is which?”
“...... 现在是什么? “
she said to herself, and nibbled a little of the right-hand bit to try the effect.
她对自己说, 并咬了一点点 右位来尝试效果。
The next moment she felt a violent blow underneath her chin: it had struck her foot!
下一瞬间,她感到下巴下部被猛烈地打出:它击中了她的脚!
She was a good deal frightened by this very sudden change, but she felt that there was no time to be lost, as she was shrinking rapidly; so she set to work at once to eat some of the other bit.
她被这个非常突然的变化吓倒了,但她觉得没有时间被浪费了,因为她正在迅速收缩;所以她马上开始工作去吃另外一点.
Her chin was pressed so closely against her foot, that there was hardly room to open her mouth; but she did it at last, and managed to swallow a morsel of the left-hand bit.
她的下巴被紧紧地压在脚上,几乎无法张开口;但她终于这样做了,并设法吞下左手一分一分.
“Come, my head’s free at last!”
“来吧,我的头终于自由了!”
said Alice in a tone of delight, which changed into alarm in another moment, when she found that her shoulders were nowhere to be found.
爱丽丝以欢快的语气说,这在另一瞬间变成了警钟,当她发现她的肩膀无处可寻.
All she could see, when she looked down, was an immense length of neck, which seemed to rise like a stalk out of a sea of green leaves that lay far below her.
当她俯视下时,她所看到的是 巨大的颈部, 它似乎像一个树枝 从绿叶的海中爬出, 远在她下方。
“What can all that green stuff be?”
“这些绿色的东西是什么? “
said Alice.
说爱丽丝。
“ And where have my shoulders got to?
“...... 我的肩膀跑到哪里去了? 哪里去了?
And oh, my poor hands, how is it I can’t see you?”
为何我看不见你? “
She was moving them about as she spoke, but no result seemed to follow, except a little shaking among the distant green leaves.
在她说话的时候,她移动着他们, 但似乎没有结果, 除了在遥远的绿叶间稍有摇晃。
As there seemed to be no chance of getting her hands up to her head, she tried to get her head down to them, and was delighted to find that her neck would bend about easily in any direction, like a serpent.
由于似乎没有机会把她的手抬到头上,她想把她的头抬到头上来,并且很高兴地发现她的脖子会像一条蛇一样轻易地向任何方向弯曲.
She had just succeeded in curving it down into a graceful zigzag, and was going to dive in among the leaves, which she found to be nothing but the tops of the trees under which she had been wandering, when a sharp hiss made her draw back in a hurry: a large pigeon had flown into her face, and was beating her violently with its wings.
她刚刚成功地将它曲折成优雅的"zi"(zigzag),并正要潜入叶子中去,她发现这些叶子只是她一直徘徊的树顶,当时一尖尖的他使她匆匆地抽回:一只大鸽子飞入了她的脸,正用它的翅膀猛烈地打她.
“Serpent!”
臭小子,你这混蛋!
screamed the Pigeon.
尖叫着鸽子。
“I’m not a serpent!”
「我不是蛇!
said Alice indignantly.
说爱丽丝无耻地。
“Let me alone!”
让我一个人静一静!
“Serpent, I say again!”
我再说一遍,
repeated the Pigeon, but in a more subdued tone, and added with a kind of sob, “I’ve tried every way, and nothing seems to suit them!”
重复了Pigeon语气, “
“I haven’t the least idea what you’re talking about,” said Alice.
爱丽丝说,
“I’ve tried the roots of trees, and I’ve tried banks, and I’ve tried hedges,” the Pigeon went on, without attending to her, “but those serpents!
我尝试了树根, 我尝试了银行, 我尝试了树篱,
There’s no pleasing them!”
并不会让他们高兴! “
Alice was more and more puzzled, but she thought there was no use in saying anything more till the Pigeon had finished.
爱丽丝越来越困惑了,但她认为在"鸽子"完成之前再多说一点是没有用的.
“ As if it wasn’t trouble enough hatching the eggs,” said the Pigeon, “but I must be on the lookout for serpents night and day!
“...... “但我必须日以继夜地注视蛇!
Why, I haven’t had a wink of sleep these three weeks!”
这三周我都没睡过觉! “
“I’m very sorry you’ve been annoyed,” said Alice, who was beginning to see its meaning.
爱丽丝(Alice)说, “我很抱歉你感到很烦恼,
“ And just as I’ d taken the highest tree in the wood,” continued the Pigeon, raising its voice to a shriek, “and just as I was thinking I should be free of them at last, they must needs come wriggling down from the sky!
“...... 就像我把木头上最高的一棵树取走一样,
Ugh, Serpent!”
啊,蛇头!”
“But I’m not a serpent, I tell you!”
但我不是一条蛇, “
said Alice.
说爱丽丝。
“I’m a—I’m a—” “Well!
" 我是一个,我是一个," "嗯!
What are you?”
你是谁? “
said the Pigeon.
说鸽子。
“I can see you’re trying to invent something!”
“我看得出来, “
“I—I’m a little girl,” said Alice, rather doubtfully, as she remembered the number of changes she had gone through that day.
“我是一个小女孩,”爱丽丝说,相当令人怀疑,因为她记得那天经历的改变。
“ A likely story indeed!”
“一个可能的故事!”
said the Pigeon in a tone of the deepest contempt.
说"鸽子"的语气 最深的蔑视。
“I’ve seen a good many little girls in my time, but never one with such a neck as that!
“我见过很多小女孩,
No, no!
别,别!
You’re a serpent, and there’s no use denying it.
你是一个蛇,
I suppose you’ll be telling me next that you never tasted an egg!”
我想接下来你会告诉我, 你从来没有尝过鸡蛋!
“I have tasted eggs, certainly,” said Alice, who was a very truthful child, “but little girls eat eggs quite as much as serpents do, you know.”
“我当然尝过鸡蛋了,”爱丽丝说,她是一个非常诚实的孩子,“但小女孩吃鸡蛋的程度与蛇一样多。 “
“I don’t believe it,” said the Pigeon.
「我不相信」,
“But if they do, why then they’re a kind of serpent, that’s all I can say.”
我只能说, “
This was such a new idea to Alice, that she was quite silent for a minute or two, which gave the Pigeon the opportunity of adding, “You’re looking for eggs, I know that well enough; and what does it matter to me whether you’re a little girl or a serpent?”
这对爱丽丝来说是一个新想法,她沉默了一两分钟,这让鸽子有机会补充说,“你在找鸡蛋,我知道的足够清楚了;对我而言,你是个小女孩还是蛇有什么关系? “
“It matters a good deal to me,” said Alice hastily, “but I’m not looking for eggs, as it happens; and if I was, I shouldn’t want yours: I don’t like them raw.”
“这对我很重要,”爱丽丝仓促地说,“但我不象现在这样寻找鸡蛋;如果我是,我不应该想要你的: 我不喜歡活生生地吃. “
“Well, be off, then!”
"那就滚开吧!"
said the Pigeon in a sulky tone, as it settled down again into its nest.
鸽子在沉闷的语气下说, 它再次沉入巢穴。
Alice crouched down among the trees as well as she could, for her neck kept getting entangled among the branches, and every now and then she had to stop and untwist it.
爱丽丝尽可能地蹲倒在树上 因为脖子一直被树枝缠住 时不时地她不得不停下来解开它
After a while she remembered that she still held the pieces of mushroom in her hands, and she set to work very carefully, nibbling first at one and then at the other, and growing sometimes taller and sometimes shorter, until she had succeeded in bringing herself down to her usual height.
一段时间后,她回忆起她手中还握有蘑菇的碎片,她开始非常小心地工作,先是一而再而再再再而三地分道扬镳地分道扬镳地分道扬镳地分道扬镳地分道扬镳地分道扬镳地分道扬镳地分道扬镳地分道扬镳地分道扬镳地分道扬镳地分道扬镳地分道扬镳地分道扬镳地分地分道而出.
It was so long since she had been anything near the right size, that it felt quite strange at first; but she got used to it in a few minutes, and began talking to herself as usual.
久而久之,自有相貌相相近之事,起而感觉相当奇怪;但几分钟后她习惯了,并开始同往常一样自言自语.
“Come, there’s half my plan done now!
"来吧,我现在的计划完成了一半!
How puzzling all these changes are!
这些变化真是令人费解!
“I’m never sure what I’m going to be, from one minute to another!
“我从来不知道我会是什么样子,
However, I’ve got back to my right size: the next thing is, to get into that beautiful garden—how is that to be done, I wonder?”
然而,我回到了合适的体型:下一步是进入美丽的花园, “
As she said this, she came suddenly upon an open place, with a little house in it about four feet high.
正如她说的,她突然来到一个空地,里面有一个小房子,高约4英尺.
“Whoever lives there,” thought Alice, “it’ll never do to come upon them this size: why, I should frighten them out of their wits!”
爱丽丝认为:「无论谁住在那里, “
So she began nibbling at the right-hand bit again, and did not venture to go near the house till she had brought herself down to nine inches high.
于是她又开始在右手边行走,没有冒险去靠近这所房子,直到她把自己带到了9英寸高.
