CHAPTER VII.
第七章. 导言
A Mad Tea-Party here was a table set out under a tree in front of the house, and the March Hare and the Hatter were having tea at it: a Dormouse was sitting between them, fast asleep, and the other two were using it as a cushion, resting their elbows on it, and talking over its head.
疯茶会在这里放出一桌,放在屋前一棵树下,"三月兔"和"疯帽子"正在喝茶:一个多摩斯人坐在他们中间,快地入睡了,另外两个人用它作垫子,把肘子放在屋上休息,并用头来说话.
“Very uncomfortable for the Dormouse,” thought Alice.
“Dormouse人非常不舒服”,爱丽丝认为。
“Only, as it’s asleep, I suppose it doesn’t mind.”
「不过, “
The table was a large one, but the three were all crowded together at one corner of it.
桌子很大,但三个都挤在一角
“No room!
“没有房间!
No room!”
没有房间!”
they cried out when they saw Alice coming.
当他们看到爱丽丝来的时候,他们大喊大叫。
“There’s plenty of room!”
" 有很多空间! “
said Alice indignantly, and she sat down in a large arm- chair at one end of the table.
说爱丽丝不屈不挠地, 她坐在一个大手臂的椅子上 在桌子的一端。
“Have some wine,” the March Hare said in an encouraging tone.
三月兔以令人鼓舞的语气说,“喝点酒”。
Alice looked all round the table, but there was nothing on it but tea.
爱丽丝环顾四周,但上面只有茶.
“I don’t see any wine,” she remarked.
她表示,
“There isn’t any,” said the March Hare.
三月兔说,
In Part 4 of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Alice meets a duchess who likes a lot of pepper in her soup.
在"爱丽丝在仙境的冒险"第四部中,爱丽丝遇到了一位喜欢她汤中多花椒的公爵夫人.
Later, she encounters the Cheshire Cat, who appears and vanishes with startling ease.
后来,她遇到了"切希尔猫","切希尔猫"以惊人的轻松出现并消失.
“Then it wasn’t very civil of you to offer it,” said Alice angrily.
爱丽丝愤怒地说,
“It wasn’t very civil of you to sit down without being invited,” said the March Hare.
「三月兔」说,
“I didn’t know it was your table,” said Alice.
爱丽丝说,
“It’s laid for a great many more than three.”
" 这是为超过三个人准备的。 “
“Your hair wants cutting,” said the Hatter.
疯帽子说,“你的头发想剪”。
He had been looking at Alice for some time with great curiosity, and this was his first speech.
他一直以极大的好奇心看着爱丽丝一段时间,这是他的第一个演讲.
“You should learn not to make personal remarks,” Alice said with some severity.
爱丽丝说:“你应该学会不要发表个人言论,”
“It’s very rude.”
“这很无礼。 “
The Hatter opened his eyes very wide on hearing this, but all he said was, “Why is a raven like a writing-desk?”
疯帽子睁开眼睛听到这个声音,但他说:“为什么乌鸦像写字台? “
“Come, we shall have some fun now!”
"来吧,我们现在会有一些乐趣! “
thought Alice.
以为爱丽丝。
“I’m glad they’ve begun asking riddles.
我很高兴他们开始问谜语。
— I believe I can guess that,” she added aloud.
我相信我可以猜到,“她大声地说。
“Do you mean that you think you can find out the answer to it?”
“你的意思是,你认为你可以找到答案吗? “
said the March Hare.
说三月兔.
“Exactly so,” said Alice.
爱丽丝说,“事实上如此”。
“Then you should say what you mean,” the March Hare went on.
“那你就应该说出你的意思。” 三月兔继续前进。
“I do,” Alice hastily replied.
“我愿意”,爱丽丝匆匆回答。
“ At least I mean what I say—that’s the same thing, you know.”
“...... 至少我说的是同样的事情, “
“Not the same thing a bit!”
“不尽相同!”
said the Hatter.
说疯帽子。
“You might just as well say that ‘I see what I eat’ is the same thing as ‘I eat what I see’!”
" 你不妨说:`我看见我吃的东西了'与`我看见的东西'是一样的!
“You might just as well say,” added the March Hare, “that ‘I like what I get’ is the same thing as ‘I get what I like’!”
“你不妨说,”“三月兔”又说,“我喜欢我得到的东西”和“我喜欢的东西”是一回事。
“You might just as well say,” added the Dormouse, who seemed to be talking in his sleep, “that ‘I breathe when I sleep’ is the same thing as ‘I sleep when I breathe’!”
“你不妨说,”又说,“Dormouse似乎在睡梦中说话,“`我睡觉时呼吸'与`我睡觉时睡觉'是一样的!”
“It is the same thing with you,” said the Hatter, and here the conversation dropped.
疯帽子说,“与你一样,”这里的谈话已经停止。
The party sat silent for a minute, while Alice thought over all she could remember about ravens and writing-desks.
党静静地坐了一分钟,而爱丽丝则想通了所有她可以记得乌鸦和写作桌.
The Hatter was the first to break the silence.
疯帽子是第一个打破沉默的人.
“What day of the month is it?”
“现在是月几日? “
he said, turning to Alice: he had taken his watch out of his pocket, and was looking at it uneasily, shaking it every now and then, and holding it to his ear.
他说,转向爱丽丝:他把手表从口袋取出,看着时不时地摇晃,并握住耳朵.
Alice considered and then said, “The fourth.”
爱丽丝考虑过,然后说,“第四个。 “
“Two days wrong!”
"两天错了!"
sighed the Hatter.
叹为观止.
“I told you butter wouldn’t suit the works!”
「我告诉过你, “
he added, looking angrily at the March Hare.
他补充道,愤怒地看着 三月兔。
“It was the best butter,” the March Hare meekly replied.
" 这是最好的黄油 " ,3月的Hare Meekly回答说。
“Yes, but some crumbs must have got in as well,” the Hatter grumbled.
“是的,但一定有些碎屑也卷进来了。”
“You shouldn’t have put it in with the bread-knife.”
“你不应该用面包刀把它放进去。 “
The March Hare took the watch and looked at it gloomily.
3月号 哈雷拿走了手表,光荣地看着它.
Then he dipped it into his cup of tea, and looked at it again: but he could think of nothing better to say than his first remark, “It was the best butter, you know.”
然后,他把它浸入了茶中,然后又看一看,他想不出比第一句话更好的话了,“这是最好的黄油,你知道的。 “
Alice had been looking over his shoulder with some curiosity.
爱丽丝一直很好奇地看着他
“What a funny watch!”
"多么有趣的手表!"
and doesn’t tell what o’clock it is!”
却不知道是几点! “
“Why should it?”
“为什么要这样做? “
muttered the Hatter.
哑了疯帽子.
“Does your watch tell you what year it is?”
你们的手表能告诉你那一年吗? “
“Of course not,” Alice replied very readily, “but that’s because it stays the same year for such a long time together.”
“当然不是,”爱丽丝回答说:“但是,这是因为同年在一起的时间很长。 “
“Which is just the case with mine,” said the Hatter.
疯帽子说,“我的情况就是这样。”
Alice felt dreadfully puzzled.
爱丽丝感到很困惑
The Hatter’s remark seemed to have no sort of meaning in it, and yet it was certainly English.
疯帽子的言论似乎没有任何意义,
“I don’t quite understand you,” she said, as politely as she could.
“我不太了解你,”她说,
“The Dormouse is asleep again,” said the Hatter, and he poured a little hot tea upon its nose.
“Dormouse又睡着了,”哈特说,“他向它的鼻子倒了点热茶。
The Dormouse shook its head impatiently, and said, without opening its eyes, “Of course, of course; just what I was going to remark myself.”
Dormouse不耐烦地摇起头来说,“当然,当然;我只想说自己要说的话。 “
“Have you guessed the riddle yet?”
“你猜到谜语了吗? “
the Hatter said, turning to Alice again.
疯帽子说,再次转向爱丽丝。
“No, I give up,” Alice replied.
“不,我放弃了,”爱丽丝回答说。
“What’s the answer?”
" 什么是答案? “
“I haven’t the slightest idea,” said the Hatter.
疯帽子说,
“Nor I,” said the March Hare.
“或我,”三月兔说。
Alice sighed wearily.
爱丽丝叹息了
“I think you might do something better with the time,” she said, “than waste it in asking riddles that have no answers.”
她说,“我认为你可能会用时间做一些更好的事情,“而不是浪费在问那些没有答案的谜题上。 “
“If you knew Time as well as I do,” said the Hatter, “you wouldn’t talk about wasting it.
「如果你像我一样了解时间,
It’s him.”
这是他。 “
“I don’t know what you mean,” said Alice.
爱丽丝说,
“Of course you don’t!”
“当然, “
the Hatter said, tossing his head contemptuously.
疯帽子说,轻蔑地抛出他的头。
“I daresay you never even spoke to Time!”
“我敢说,你从未与时光交谈过!”
“Perhaps not,” Alice cautiously replied, “but I know I have to beat time when I learn music.”
“也许不是,”爱丽丝谨慎地回答说,“但我知道,当我学习音乐时,我必须战胜时间。 “
“ Ah!
“啊!
That accounts for it,” said the Hatter.
疯帽子说,
“He won’t stand beating.
他不会忍受殴打。
Now, if you only kept on good terms with him, he’ d do almost anything you liked with the clock.
现在,如果你只和他保持良好的关系,他几乎做你喜欢的钟。
For instance, suppose it were nine o’clock in the morning, just time to begin lessons: you’ d only have to whisper a hint to Time, and round goes the clock in a twinkling!
例如,假设是早上九点, 开始上课的时候:你只需向时间低声提示,
Half-past one, time for dinner!”
半过去一个,吃饭的时间!”
to itself in a whisper.)
以悄悄的言语发誓,
“That would be grand, certainly,” said Alice thoughtfully, “but then—I shouldn’t be hungry for it, you know.”
爱丽丝深思熟虑地说,“那当然是巨大的,”但是,我不应该对此感到饥渴。 “
“Not at first, perhaps,” said the Hatter, “but you could keep it to half-past one as long as you liked.”
“起初,也许不是,”哈特说,“但只要你愿意,你可以保持一半的时间。 “
“Is that the way you manage?”
“这就是你的做法吗? “
Alice asked.
爱丽丝问。
The Hatter shook his head mournfully.
疯帽子哀伤地摇头.
“Not I!”
"没有我!"
he replied.
他回答说:
“We quarreled last March—just before he went mad, you know—” (pointing with his teaspoon at the March Hare), “—it was at the great concert given by the Queen of Hearts, and I had to sing, ‘Twinkle, twinkle, little bat!
" 我们去年三月吵架—— 就在他发疯之前—— " (用他的茶匙指着"三月之兔"), " —— 那是在红心女王举办的大音乐会上,我不得不唱出:`花花儿,花花儿,小蝙蝠!
How I wonder what you’re at!’
我怎么想知道你在说什么? " ; "
“You know the song, perhaps?”
“也许你知道这首歌吗? “
“I’ve heard something like it,” said Alice.
爱丽丝说,
“It goes on, you know,” the Hatter continued, “in this way: ‘Up above the world you fly, Like a tea-tray in the sky.
疯帽子接着说,“这样,你飞到世界之上,就像空中的茶盘。
T winkle, twinkle—’” Here the Dormouse shook itself, and began singing in its sleep, “T winkle, twinkle, twinkle, twinkle—” and went on so long that they had to pinch it to make it stop.
闪闪发光地闪闪发光地闪闪发光” Dormouse人在这里摇摇欲坠地,在梦中开始唱起 " 眨眼、闪光、闪光、闪光 -- -- " 并持续了很长一段时间,他们不得不把它捏住才能停止。
“Well, I’ d hardly finished the first verse,” said the Hatter, “when the Queen jumped up and bawled out, ‘He’s murdering the time!
疯帽子说,“当女王跳起并大喊大叫的时候,`他在谋杀时间!
Off with his head!’
砍下他的头! " ; "
“How dreadfully savage!”
“多么野蛮!”
exclaimed Alice.
赞叹爱丽丝。
“ And ever since that,” the Hatter went on in a mournful tone, “he won’t do a thing I ask!
“...... 从那时起,“疯帽子就以悲哀的语气继续说,“他不会做我要求做的事!
It’s always six o’clock now.”
现在总是六点。 “
A bright idea came into Alice’s head.
爱丽丝脑子里有个好主意
“Is that the reason so many tea-things are put out here?”
“这就是这么多茶叶被放在这里的原因吗? “
she asked.
她问。
“Yes, that’s it,” said the Hatter with a sigh.
疯帽子叹息地说,
“It’s always tea-time, and we’ve no time to wash the things between whiles.”
我们没有时间洗东西。 “
“Then you keep moving round, I suppose?”
“那么,我想你继续走动? “
said Alice.
说爱丽丝。
“Exactly so,” said the Hatter, “as the things get used up.”
疯帽子说,“随着事物的消逝, “
“But what happens when you come to the beginning again?”
“但是,当你重新开始时,会发生什么? “
Alice ventured to ask.
爱丽丝冒险问。
“Suppose we change the subject,” the March Hare interrupted, yawning.
三月兔号中断了,
“I’m getting tired of this.
“我对此感到厌倦。
I vote the young lady tells us a story.”
我选这位年轻女士给我们讲个故事 “
“I’m afraid I don’t know one,” said Alice, rather alarmed at the proposal.
爱丽丝说, “我恐怕我不认识一个,”对提案相当震惊。
“Then the Dormouse shall!”
“那么,多尔穆斯人将受惩罚!”
they both cried.
他们都哭了。
“Wake up, Dormouse!”
“醒醒,多摩斯!”
And they pinched it on both sides at once.
他们立刻把它夹到两边
The Dormouse slowly opened his eyes.
多摩斯人慢慢地睁开他的眼睛.
“I wasn’t asleep,” he said in a hoarse, feeble voice.
「我没有入睡」,
“I heard every word you fellows were saying.”
“我听到你们所说的每一句话。 “
“Tell us a story!”
“告诉我们一个故事!”
said the March Hare.
说三月兔.
“Yes, please do!”
“是的,请说!”
pleaded Alice.
请求爱丽丝。
“ And be quick about it,” added the Hatter, “or you’ll be asleep again before it’s done.”
“...... ”哈特(Hatter)补充说, “否则你将会在事情完成前再次入睡。 “
“Once upon a time there were three little sisters,” the Dormouse began in a great hurry, “and their names were Elsie, Lacie, and Tillie; and they lived at the bottom of a well—” “What did they live on?”
" 从前有三个小姐妹, " 多尔穆斯人很匆忙地开始, " 他们的名字是埃尔西、拉西和蒂利;他们住在一口井下方。 “他们靠什么生活? “
said Alice, who always took a great interest in questions of eating and drinking.
爱丽丝说,她总是对吃喝的问题很感兴趣.
“They lived on treacle,” said the Dormouse, after thinking a minute or two.
Dormouse说,“他们生活在三叠纪上,经过一两分钟的思考。
“They couldn’t have done that, you know,” Alice gently remarked.
“他们不可能这样做,
“They’ d have been ill.”
" 他们生病了。 "
“So they were,” said the Dormouse, “very ill.”
Dormouse说,“他们确是病态的。”
Alice tried to fancy to herself what such an extraordinary way of living would be like, but it puzzled her too much, so she went on: “But why did they live at the bottom of a well?”
爱丽丝试着想着自己 那种非同寻常的生活方式会是什么样子, 但是这让她太困惑了,所以她接着说:“但是为什么他们住在井底? “
“Take some more tea,” the March Hare said to Alice, very earnestly.
"多喝点茶" 三月兔对爱丽丝说,非常真诚。
“I’ve had nothing yet,” Alice replied in an offended tone, “so I can’t take more.”
爱丽丝以冒犯的语气回答说, “
“You mean you can’t take less,” said the Hatter.
疯帽子说,
“It’s very easy to take more than nothing.”
" 取出比一无所取还容易。 “
“Nobody asked your opinion,” said Alice.
爱丽丝说:“没有人问你的意见。”
“Who’s making personal remarks now?”
" 现在是谁在发表个人言论? “
the Hatter asked triumphantly.
疯帽子问起胜利。
Alice did not quite know what to say to this: so she helped herself to some tea and bread-and- butter, and then turned to the Dormouse, and repeated her question.
爱丽丝并不知道该怎么说:所以她帮自己泡了点茶和面包和黄油,然后转向多摩斯人,并重复她的问题.
“Why did they live at the bottom of a well?”
“为什么他们住在井底? “
The Dormouse again took a minute or two to think about it, and then said, “It was a treacle-well.”
Dormouse号再次花了一两分钟才想到这个问题,然后说,“这是一个三叠纪井。 “
“There’s no such thing!”
「没有这样的事!
Alice was beginning very angrily, but the Hatter and the March Hare went, “Sh!
爱丽丝开始非常愤怒,但是"疯帽子"和"三月兔"却说:"嘘!
Sh!”
嘘!"
and the Dormouse sulkily remarked, “If you can’t be civil, you’ d better finish the story for yourself.”
Dormouse则说:“如果你不能文明, “
“No, please go on!”
“不,请继续!”
Alice said very humbly.
爱丽丝说得很谦虚
“I won’t interrupt again.
我不会再打断你。
I daresay there may be one.”
我敢说可能有一个。 “
“One, indeed!”
“一个!”
said the Dormouse indignantly.
说多摩斯人无耻.
However, he consented to go on.
然而,他同意继续工作。
“ And so these three little sisters—they were learning to draw, you know—” “What did they draw?”
“...... 于是这三个小姐妹——他们正在学习画画,你知道的——” “他们画了什么? “
said Alice, quite forgetting her promise.
爱丽丝说,完全忘了她的承诺。
“Treacle,” said the Dormouse, without considering at all this time.
Dormouse说,“Treacle,”当时从未考虑过。
“I want a clean cup,” interrupted the Hatter.
“我要一个干净的杯子,”打断了疯帽子。
“Let’s all move one place on.”
“让我们一起行动吧。 “
He moved on as he spoke, and the Dormouse followed him: the March Hare moved into the Dormouse’s place, and Alice rather unwillingly took the place of the March Hare.
他说话时继续前进了,多摩斯人也跟着他:三月兔移入多摩斯所住的地方,而爱丽丝相当不情愿地取而代之.
The Hatter was the only one who got any advantage from the change, and Alice was a good deal worse off than before, as the March Hare had just upset the milk jug into his plate.
"疯帽子"是唯一一个从变化中获得任何优势的人,而爱丽丝则比以前更糟糕,因为"三月之兔"只是让"奶壶"搅入了自己的盘子.
Alice didn’t wish to offend the Dormouse again, so she began very cautiously: “I don’t understand.
爱丽丝不想再冒犯多摩斯,
Where did they draw the treacle from?”
他们从哪里画出三脚架的? “
“You can draw water out of a water-well,” said the Hatter, “so I should think you could draw treacle out of a treacle-well—eh, stupid?”
疯帽子说,“你可以从水井取出水来,”“所以我认为你可以从水井取出水来取出水来,嗯,愚蠢吗? “
“But they were in the well,” Alice said to the Dormouse, not choosing to notice this last remark.
Alice对Dormouse说,“但他们在井里,”而不是选择注意最后一句话。
“Of course they were,” said the Dormouse, “—well in.”
“当然,”Dormouse说,“嗯”。
This answer so confused poor Alice, that she let the Dormouse go on without interrupting.
这个答案让可怜的爱丽丝迷惑不解, 她让多摩斯人继续前进而不中断.
“They were learning to draw,” the Dormouse went on, yawning and rubbing its eyes, for it was getting very sleepy; “and they drew all manner of things—everything that begins with an M—” “Why with an M?”
“他们正在学习画画,”多摩斯人继续打哈欠并打磨眼睛,因为眼睛越来越困;“他们画了各种各样的东西,从M开始的一切,为什么用M?”
said Alice.
说爱丽丝。
“Why not?”
“为什么不呢? “
said the March Hare.
说三月兔.
Alice was silent.
爱丽丝沉默了。
The Dormouse had closed its eyes by this time, and was going off into a doze; but, on being pinched by the Hatter, it woke up again with a little shriek, and went on: “—that begins with an M, such as mousetraps, and the moon, and memory, and muchness—you know you say things are ‘much of a muchness’—did you ever see such a thing as a drawing of a muchness?”
多摩斯人此时已闭了眼睛,正被打入迷宫;但被"疯帽子"捏住后,又以一阵叫声唤醒了起来,接着说道:"——从一个M开始,比如老鼠夹子,月亮,记忆和很多——你知道你说过,事情是`很多的',你曾经看到过画出很多的东西吗? “
“Really, now you ask me,” said Alice, very much confused, “I don’t think—” “Then you shouldn’t talk,” said the Hatter.
“真的,现在你问我,”爱丽丝说,“我不认为,”哈特说,“那么你不应该说话。”
This piece of rudeness was more than Alice could bear; she got up in great disgust, and walked off.
这段粗鲁的言行超出了爱丽丝所能忍受的;她非常厌恶地起身走开.
The Dormouse fell asleep instantly, and neither of the others took the least notice of her going, though she looked back once or twice, half hoping that they would call after her: the last time she saw them, they were trying to put the Dormouse into the teapot.
多摩斯人当即入睡,其他人都没有注意到她的去向,虽然她回头看了一两次,但有一半人希望他们会打电话给她:她最后一次见到她时,他们试图把多摩斯人放入茶壶.
“ At any rate I’ll never go there again!”
“...... 无论如何,我再也不会去那里了! “
said Alice as she picked her way through the wood.
爱丽丝说,当她选择 通过木道。
“It’s the stupidest tea-party I ever was at in all my life!”
「这是我一生中最愚蠢的茶会!
Just as she said this, she noticed that one of the trees had a door leading right into it.
正如她说的,她注意到其中一棵树 有一扇门引向它。
“That’s very curious!”
“这很好奇! “
she thought.
她认为。
“But everything’s curious today.
“但今天一切都很好奇。
I think I may as well go in at once.”
我想我还是马上进去吧 “
And in she went.
她走进去了
Once more she found herself in the long hall, and close to the little glass table.
她又一次发现自己在长的大厅里,靠近小玻璃桌.
“Now, I’ll manage better this time,” she said to herself, and began by taking the little golden key, and unlocking the door that led into the garden.
她对自己说, “现在, 这次我会做得更好,” 开始,
Then she went to work nibbling at the mushroom (she had kept a piece of it in her pocket) till she was about a foot high: then she walked down the little passage, and then—she found herself at last in the beautiful garden, among the bright flower-beds and the cool fountains.
然后她去蘑菇上打杂活(她把一块放在口袋里),直到她高了一英尺:然后她走下小通道,然后——她终于发现自己在美丽的花园里,在明亮的花床和凉爽的喷泉中.
