CHAPTER VI.
第六章
Pig and Pepper or a minute or two she stood looking at the house, and wondering what to do next, when suddenly a footman in livery came running out of the wood—(she considered him to be a footman because he was in livery: otherwise, judging by his face only, she would have called him a fish)—and rapped loudly at the door with his knuckles.
猪和辣椒或一两分钟她站着看着这所房子,想着接下来该做什么,当时一个活人突然跑出木头来——(她认为他是一个活人:否则,只用他的脸来判断,她会叫他"鱼")——并用他的指节大声地敲门.
It was opened by another footman in livery, with a round face, and large eyes like a frog; and both footmen, Alice noticed, had powdered hair that curled all over their heads.
它由另一位活生生地的脚手打开,面相圆圆,眼睛像青蛙一样大;两个脚手爱丽丝都注意到了有花粉花发,头部都卷起.
She felt very curious to know what it was all about, and crept a little way out of the wood to listen.
她感到非常好奇地知道这一切是什么,从木头中钻出一点来倾听.
The Fish-Footman began by producing a great letter, nearly as large as himself, and this he handed over to the other, saying, in a solemn tone, “For the Duchess.
Fish-Footman首先写出一封大信,几乎和他本人一样大,他把这封信交给了另一个人,用庄严的语气说:“为了女公爵们。
An invitation from the Queen to play croquet.”
女王邀请你玩克罗克特 “
The Frog-Footman repeated, in the same solemn tone, only changing the order of the words a little, “From the Queen.
蛙花人以同样的庄严语气重复了只略微改变词序,"从后出.
An invitation for the Duchess to play croquet.”
请女公爵们玩克罗克特 “
In Part 3 of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Alice meets a caterpillar sitting atop a mushroom.
在《爱丽丝在仙境的冒险》的第三部分中,爱丽丝遇到一只毛毛虫,坐在蘑菇上。
The mushroom gives Alice the ability to grow or shrink, depending on which side she nibbles.
蘑菇给 爱丽丝有生长或收缩的能力,取决于她舔到哪一边.
Then they both bowed low, and their curls got entangled together.
然后他们都低头了 卷发被缠在一起
Alice laughed so much at this, that she had to run back into the wood for fear of their hearing her.
爱丽丝笑得如此之多,以至于她因为害怕他们听到她的声音而不得不跑回了树林.
When she peeped out, the Fish-Footman was gone, and the other was sitting on the ground near the door, staring stupidly up into the sky.
在她出外窥探时,"鱼花人"已经走光了,另一人正坐在靠近门的地上,傻傻地盯着天空.
Alice went to the door and knocked.
爱丽丝走到门口敲门.
“There’s no sort of use in knocking,” said the Footman, “and that for two reasons.
Footman说,“敲门没有用,有两点原因。
First, because I’m on the same side of the door as you are; secondly, because they’re making such a noise inside, no one could possibly hear you.”
首先,因为我和你站在门的同一边;其次,因为他们在里面发出这样的声音,没有人能听到你的声音。 “
And certainly there was a most extraordinary noise going on within—a constant howling and sneezing, and every now and then a great crash, as if a dish or kettle had been broken to pieces.
里面肯定有非常不寻常的叫声 不停地叫叫和打喷嚏 时而发生大爆炸 仿佛一盘或一壶被打碎一样
“Please, then,” said Alice, “how am I to get in?”
爱丽丝说:“那么,请,”爱丽丝说:“我怎么进去? “
“There might be some sense in your knocking,” the Footman went on without attending to her, “if we had the door between us.
“你的敲门也许有些道理,”脚手没有照顾她,“如果我们之间有门。
For instance, if you were inside, you might knock, and I could let you out, you know.”
例如,如果你在里面,你可能会敲门, 我可以让你出去,你知道的。 “
He was looking up into the sky all the time he was speaking, and this Alice thought decidedly uncivil.
他一直在仰望天空 他说话, 而这个爱丽丝 认为很不文明。
“But perhaps he can’t help it,” she said to herself.
她对自己说,
“His eyes are so very nearly at the top of his head.
“他的眼睛非常接近头顶。
But at any rate he might answer questions.
但无论如何,他可能回答问题。
—How am I to get in?”
-我怎么进去? “
she repeated aloud.
她大声重复。
“I shall sit here,” the Footman remarked, “till tomorrow—” At this moment the door of the house opened, and a large plate came skimming out, straight at the Footman’s head: it just grazed his nose, and broke to pieces against one of the trees behind him.
" 我会坐在这里, " 脚夫说, " 直到明天... " 这时,房子的门被打开,一个大盘子滑出来,直指脚夫的头:它只是擦了鼻子,并砸碎了后面的一棵树。
“—or next day, maybe,” the Footman continued in the same tone, exactly as if nothing had happened.
" 或第二天,也许, " 脚手继续用同样的语气,就像什么都没发生一样。
“How am I to get in?”
“我如何进入? “
asked Alice again, in a louder tone.
又问了爱丽丝,声音大点
“Are you to get in at all?”
“你完全可以进去吗? “
said the Footman.
说脚手.
“That’s the first question, you know.”
“这是第一个问题, “
It was, no doubt: only Alice did not like to be told so.
毫无疑问,只有爱丽丝不喜欢被告知
“It’s really dreadful,” she muttered to herself, “the way all the creatures argue.
她自言自语, “所有生物都这样争论。
It’s enough to drive one crazy!”
这足以驱使一个疯子! “
The Footman seemed to think this a good opportunity for repeating his remark, with variations.
Footman似乎认为这是一次很好的机会,可以重复他的话,但有不同的说法.
“I shall sit here,” he said, “on and off, for days and days.”
他说,“我将坐在这里,日以继夜地。 “
“But what am I to do?”
“但是,我该怎么办? “
said Alice.
说爱丽丝。
“ Anything you like,” said the Footman, and began whistling.
“...... 任何你喜欢的东西,”脚手说,开始吹口哨。
“Oh, there’s no use in talking to him,” said Alice desperately.
爱丽丝绝望地说,
“He’s perfectly idiotic!”
「他真是白痴!
And she opened the door and went in.
她打开了门 然后进去了
The door led right into a large kitchen, which was full of smoke from one end to the other: the Duchess was sitting on a three-legged stool in the middle, nursing a baby; the cook was leaning over the fire, stirring a large cauldron which seemed to be full of soup.
门直接引入了一座从一端到另一端都充满了烟雾的大厨房:公爵夫人坐在中间一个三脚凳上,给婴儿喂奶;厨师倒在了火上,搅动了一座似乎充满了汤的大锅.
“There’s certainly too much pepper in that soup!”
汤里肯定有太多辣椒了!
Alice said to herself, sneezing.
爱丽丝对自己说 打喷嚏
There was certainly too much of it in the air.
空气里肯定有太多的东西
Even the Duchess sneezed occasionally; and as for the baby, it was sneezing and howling alternately without a moment’s pause.
即使是公爵夫人偶尔也会打喷嚏;至于婴儿,它会打喷嚏并轮流叫喊,没有一刻的停顿。
The only things in the kitchen that did not sneeze, were the cook, and a large cat which was sitting on the hearth and grinning from ear to ear.
厨房里唯一没有打喷嚏的东西是厨师,还有一只大猫,它坐在耳边,从耳边笑出来。
“Please would you tell me,” said Alice, a little timidly, for she was not quite sure whether it was good manners for her to speak first, “why your cat grins like that?”
“请您告诉我,”爱丽丝说,她有点胆小,因为她不太确定她首先说话是否礼貌,“为什么你的猫会那样笑? “
“It’s a Cheshire Cat,” said the Duchess, “and that’s why.
女公爵们说:“这是一只切希尔猫,
Pig!”
猪!
She said the last word with such sudden violence that Alice quite jumped; but she saw in another moment that it was addressed to the baby, and not to her, so she took courage, and went on again: “I didn’t know that Cheshire Cats always grinned.
她用如此突然的暴力说最后一句话,以至于爱丽丝跳了起来;但在另一个时刻,她看到这首歌是针对婴儿的,而不是针对她,于是她拿出了勇气,接着说道:"我不知道切希尔猫总是笑.
In fact, I didn’t know that cats could grin.”
事实上,我不知道猫会笑。 “
“They all can,” said the Duchess, “and most of ’em do.”
女公爵们说,“她们都能做到,大多数都能做到。 “
“I don’t know of any that do,” Alice said very politely, feeling quite pleased to have got into a conversation.
爱丽丝非常礼貌地说,
“You don’t know much,” said the Duchess, “and that’s a fact.”
女公爵们说:“你不知道很多, “
Alice did not at all like the tone of this remark, and thought it would be as well to introduce some other subject of conversation.
爱丽丝完全不喜欢这个说法的基调,认为介绍一些其他对话话题也是一样.
While she was trying to fix on one, the cook took the cauldron of soup off the fire, and at once set to work throwing everything within her reach at the Duchess and the baby—the fire-irons came first; then followed a shower of saucepans, plates, and dishes.
在她试图修补一个时,厨师把汤炉取出,并立即开始工作,将她力所能及的一切扔到公爵夫人和婴儿身上——火铁先来;接着是一阵酱油、盘子和盘子。
The Duchess took no notice of them even when they hit her, and the baby was howling so much already, that it was quite impossible to say whether the blows hurt it or not.
公爵夫人没有注意到他们 即使当他们打她, 和婴儿已经嚎叫这么多, 几乎不可能说 击打是否伤害它。
“Oh, please mind what you’re doing!”
「哦, “
cried Alice, jumping up and down in an agony of terror.
哭着爱丽丝, 在恐怖的痛苦中上下跳跃。
“Oh, there goes his precious nose,” as an unusually large saucepan flew close by it, and very nearly carried it off.
“哦,他珍贵的鼻子不见了,”一个异常大的酱油被它飞来,几乎把它带走。
“If everybody minded their own business,” the Duchess said in a hoarse growl, “the world would go round a deal faster than it does.”
“如果每个人都关心自己的事务,”公爵夫人在一次粗鲁的咆哮中说,“世界会比它更快地达成交易。 “
“Which would not be an advantage,” said Alice, who felt very glad to get an opportunity of showing off a little of her knowledge.
爱丽丝说,“这不是一个优势”,她很高兴有机会展示一下她的知识。
“Just think of what work it would make with the day and night!
“只要想想它白天和夜晚会做什么工作!
You see the Earth takes twenty-four hours to turn round on its axis—” “Talking of axes,” said the Duchess, “chop off her head!”
你看地球需要二十四小时才能转动它的轴线——““斧头摇摆,”公爵夫人说,“从她头上跳下来!”
“Oh, don’t bother me,” said the Duchess.
公爵夫人说,
“I never could abide figures!”
“我永远无法遵守数字。 “
And with that she began nursing her child again, singing a sort of lullaby to it as she did so, and giving it a violent shake at the end of every line: “Speak roughly to your little boy, And beat him when he sneezes: He only does it to annoy, Because he knows it teases.
随即她又开始照顾她的孩子, 唱起摇篮曲来, "对你的小儿子说:"你打喷嚏的时候,你打他吧! 他这样做只是为了惹恼他 因为他知道这很搞笑
Wow!
哗!
wow!
哗!
wow!”
哗!"
While the Duchess sang the second verse of the song, she kept tossing the baby violently up and down, and the poor little thing howled so, that Alice could hardly hear the words: “I speak severely to my boy, I beat him when he sneezes; For he can thoroughly enjoy The pepper when he pleases!
当公爵夫人唱起这首歌的第二首诗时,她不停地猛烈地向上和向下抛掷婴儿,可怜的小东西大声地喊叫着,使爱丽丝几乎听不到这句话:“我对我儿子说得很重,我打他打喷嚏时,他可以完全享受。 胡椒,他喜欢的时候!
Wow!
哗!
wow!
哗!
wow!”
哗!"
“Here!
“这里!
you may nurse it a bit, if you like!”
若您愿意,
as she went out, but it just missed her.
她出去了,但只是错过了她。
Alice caught the baby with some difficulty, as it was a queer-shaped little creature, and held out its arms and legs in all directions, “Just like a starfish,” thought Alice.
爱丽丝带着一些困难抓住了这个婴儿,因为它是一个怪异的形状的小生物,并将它的手臂和腿伸向了各个方向,"就像一头海星",认为是爱丽丝.
The poor little thing was snorting like a steam-engine when she caught it, and kept doubling itself up and straightening itself out again, so that altogether, for the first minute or two, it was as much as she could do to hold it.
可怜的小东西在捕捉它时像蒸汽机一样吸气, 并且不断把自己翻一番,重新整齐起来, 这样一来,在第一两分钟里, 她就能够忍住它。
As soon as she had made out the proper way of nursing it (which was to twist it up into a sort of knot, and then keep tight hold of its right ear and left foot, so as to prevent its undoing itself), she carried it out into the open air.
她一按适当的方式把它喂养出来(也就是把它扭成某种结,然后紧紧地抱住它的右耳和左脚来防止它自己被折断),就把它放入了露天.
“If I don’t take this child away with me,” thought Alice, “they’re sure to kill it in a day or two: wouldn’t it be murder to leave it behind?”
爱丽丝认为:「如果我不带走这个孩子, “
She said the last words out loud, and the little thing grunted in reply (it had left off sneezing by this time).
她大声地说出最后的话来,小东西在回声中叫叫(这时它已经不再打喷嚏了).
“Don’t grunt,” said Alice, “that’s not at all a proper way of expressing yourself.”
爱丽丝(Alice)说, “
The baby grunted again, and Alice looked very anxiously into its face to see what was the matter with it.
婴儿又叫了起来,爱丽丝非常焦急地看着他的脸,看看它有什么问题.
There could be no doubt that it had a very turn-up nose, much more like a snout than a real nose; also its eyes were getting extremely small for a baby: altogether Alice did not like the look of the thing at all.
毫无疑问,它有一个非常凸起的鼻子,比起真正的鼻子,更像是鼻涕;它的眼睛也变得非常小,对婴儿来说:完全爱丽丝根本不喜欢这个东西的外表.
“But perhaps it was only sobbing,” she thought, and looked into its eyes again, to see if there were any tears.
她想,“但也许只是抽泣,”她又看着它的眼睛,看有没有眼泪。
No, there were no tears.
不,没有眼泪。
“If you’re going to turn into a pig, my dear,” said Alice, seriously, “I’ll have nothing more to do with you.
爱丽丝说:“如果你要变成一头猪,
Mind now!”
现在注意!”
The poor little thing sobbed again (or grunted, it was impossible to say which), and they went on for some while in silence.
可怜的小东西又被抽泣了(或叫出声来,无法说出哪一个),他们默默地继续了一些人.
Alice was just beginning to think to herself, “Now, what am I to do with this creature when I get it home?”
爱丽丝刚开始想,“现在,我回家后该怎么处理这个生物? “
when it grunted again, so violently that she looked down into its face in some alarm.
当它又响起时, 她非常暴力地看着它的脸, 在某种警报中。
This time there could be no mistake about it: it was neither more nor less than a pig, and she felt that it would be quite absurd for her to carry it any further.
这一次对此不可能有错误:它既不比一头猪多,也不比一头猪少,她觉得她再携带它下去是相当荒谬的.
So she set the little creature down, and felt quite relieved to see it trot away quietly into the wood.
于是她把小生物放下来, 看到它悄悄地走入了木头,感到很轻松。
“If it had grown up,” she said to herself, “it would have made a dreadfully ugly child: but it makes rather a handsome pig, I think.”
她对自己说,“如果它长大了,它会生出一个丑陋的小孩:但我认为它会生出一只英俊的猪。 “
And she began thinking over other children she knew, who might do very well as pigs, and was just saying to herself, “If one only knew the right way to change them—” when she was a little startled by seeing the Cheshire Cat sitting on a bough of a tree a few yards off.
她开始想着她认识的其他孩子,他们可能像猪一样做得很好,她只是对自己说,“如果只有一个人知道改变他们的正确方法——”当时她有点吃惊,看到Cheshire猫在几码外坐在一棵树上。
The Cat only grinned when it saw Alice.
猫只看到爱丽丝就笑了
It looked good-natured, she thought: still it had very long claws and a great many teeth, so she felt that it ought to be treated with respect.
它看起来很自然,她想:它仍然有很长的爪子和许多牙齿,所以她觉得应该受到尊重.
“Cheshire Puss,” she began, rather timidly, as she did not at all know whether it would like the name: however, it only grinned a little wider.
“Cheshire Puss,”她一开始相当胆小,因为她根本不知道它是否喜欢这个名字:然而,它只笑得更宽一些。
“Come, it’s pleased so far,” thought Alice, and she went on.
爱丽丝认为,
“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?”
“请告诉我,我应该走哪条路? “
“That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,” said the Cat.
猫咪说,
“I don’t much care where—” said Alice.
爱丽丝说,
“Then it doesn’t matter which way you go,” said the Cat.
猫说,
“—so long as I get somewhere,” Alice added as an explanation.
爱丽丝补充了一个解释。
“Oh, you’re sure to do that,” said the Cat, “if you only walk long enough.”
猫咪说:“如果你走得够长, “
Alice felt that this could not be denied, so she tried another question.
爱丽丝觉得这一点是不能否认的,所以她尝试了另一个问题.
“What sort of people live about here?”
“这里住着什么样的人? “
“In that direction,” the Cat said, waving its right paw round, “lives a Hatter: and in that direction,” waving the other paw, “lives a March Hare.
" 在那个方向上, " 猫 " 挥起右爪子说, " 生活在一头疯帽子中;在那个方向上, " 在另一只爪子上 " , " 生活在一头三月兔子中。
Visit either you like: they’re both mad.”
他们都疯了。 “
“But I don’t want to go among mad people,” Alice remarked.
爱丽丝说,
“Oh, you can’t help that,” said the Cat.
猫咪说,
“We’re all mad here.
“我们在这里都疯了。
I’m mad.
我疯了。
You’re mad.”
你疯了。 “
“How do you know I’m mad?”
" 你怎么知道我疯了? “
said Alice.
说爱丽丝。
“You must be,” said the Cat, “or you wouldn’t have come here.”
“你一定是,”猫说,“否则你就不会来这里。 “
Alice didn’t think that proved it at all; however, she went on, “ And how do you know that you’re mad?”
爱丽丝认为这并没有证明这一点;然而,她接着说:“你怎么知道你疯了? “
“To begin with,” said the Cat, “a dog’s not mad.
“首先,”猫说,“一只狗没有疯。
You grant that?”
你同意吗? “
“I suppose so,” said Alice.
爱丽丝说:“我想是的。”
“Well, then,” the Cat went on, “you see, a dog growls when it’s angry, and wags its tail when it’s pleased.
“那么,”猫接着说,“你看,一只狗在生气时会咆哮,在它高兴时会摇尾巴。
Now I growl when I’m pleased, and wag my tail when I’m angry.
我高兴的时候会咆哮,
Therefore I’m mad.”
因此我疯了。
“I call it purring, not growling,” said Alice.
爱丽丝说,
“Call it what you like,” said the Cat.
猫咪说,
“Do you play croquet with the Queen today?”
“今天你和女王一起玩曲子吗? “
“I should like it very much,” said Alice, “but I haven’t been invited yet.”
爱丽丝说:“我非常喜欢,”但是我还没有被邀请。 “
“You’ll see me there,” said the Cat, and vanished.
猫说:“你会在那里看到我,”然后消失了。
Alice was not much surprised at this, she was getting so used to queer things happening.
爱丽丝对此并不感到惊讶, 她变得很习惯于怪事发生。
While she was looking at the place where it had been, it suddenly appeared again.
当她看着那个地方时,它突然再次出现。
“By-the-bye, what became of the baby?”
“再见,婴儿后来如何? “
said the Cat.
说猫。
“I’ d nearly forgotten to ask.”
" 我几乎忘了问。 “
“It turned into a pig,” Alice quietly said, just as if the Cat had come back in a natural way.
爱丽丝悄悄地说,“它变成了一头猪”,就像猫自然地回来了一样。
“I thought it would,” said the Cat, and vanished again.
猫说,“我想它会,”然后又消失了。
Alice waited a little, half expecting to see it again, but it did not appear, and after a minute or two she walked on in the direction in which the March Hare was said to live.
爱丽丝等待了一点,一半期待再次见到,但并没有出现,一两分钟后她走入了据说"三月兔"所生活的方向.
“I’ve seen hatters before,” she said to herself; “the March Hare will be much the most interesting, and perhaps as this is May it won’t be raving mad—at least not so mad as it was in March.”
她对自己说:「三月兔将是最有意思的, “
As she said this, she looked up, and there was the Cat again, sitting on a branch of a tree.
正如她说的,她抬头看,又有了"猫",坐在一棵树的树枝上.
“Did you say pig, or fig?”
“你是说猪还是无花果? “
said the Cat.
说猫。
“I said pig,” replied Alice, “and I wish you wouldn’t keep appearing and vanishing so suddenly: you make one quite giddy.”
“我说猪,”爱丽丝回答说,“我希望你不要再突然出现和消失:你让一只猪变得很傻。 “
“ All right,” said the Cat; and this time it vanished quite slowly, beginning with the end of the tail, and ending with the grin, which remained some time after the rest of it had gone.
“...... "好吧,"猫说;"这次它慢慢地消失了,从尾巴的末端开始,到微笑结束,其余部分已经走了一段时间之后,笑了起来.
“Well!
“好吧!
I’ve often seen a cat without a grin,” thought Alice, “but a grin without a cat!
我经常看到一只没有笑容的猫,
It’s the most curious thing I ever saw in my life!”
这是我一生中见过的最奇怪的事情。
She had not gone much farther before she came in sight of the house of the March Hare: she thought it must be the right house, because the chimneys were shaped like ears and the roof was thatched with fur.
在看到"三月之兔"的家之前,她没有走得更远:她认为那一定是合适的房子,因为烟囱的形状像耳朵,屋顶被毛茸茸地刮去.
It was so large a house, that she did not like to go nearer till she had nibbled some more of the left-hand bit of mushroom, and raised herself to about two feet high: even then she walked up towards it rather timidly, saying to herself, “Suppose it should be raving mad after all!
房子这么大,她不想靠近,直到她再咬出一些左手的蘑菇来,把自己抬高到大约两英尺高的地方:即使这样,她还是很胆小地朝上走去,对自己说,“尽管它毕竟是疯狂的!
I almost wish I’ d gone to see the Hatter instead!”
我几乎希望我去看疯帽子!
