CHAPTER VIII.
第八章
The Queen’s Croquet Ground large rose tree stood near the entrance of the garden: the roses growing on it were white, but there were three gardeners at it, busily painting them red.
王后克罗克地大玫瑰树就站在花园入口附近:上面种植的玫瑰是白色的,但那里有3个园丁,忙于将花画出红色.
Alice thought this a very curious thing, and she went nearer to watch them, and just as she came up to them she heard one of them say, “Look out now, Five!
爱丽丝认为这是一件非常奇怪的事情,她更接近观看他们,就在她走到他们面前的时候,她听到其中一人说:"现在看好,五!
Don’t go splashing paint over me like that!”
别这样给我喷漆! “
“I couldn’t help it,” said Five, in a sulky tone.
“我忍不住”,
“Seven jogged my elbow.”
“7个慢跑我的肘部。 “
On which Seven looked up and said, “That’s right, Five!
当时,七戒抬头说:对了,五戒!
Always lay the blame on others!”
总是责备他人!
“You’d better not talk!”
“你最好别说话！”
said Five.
说五.
“I heard the Queen say only yesterday you deserved to be beheaded!”
“我听到女王昨天才说,你应该被斩首! “
“What for?”
“为什么? “
said the one who had spoken first.
说那先说者.
“That’s none of your business, Two!”
「这不关你的事,
said Seven.
说七.
In Part 5 of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Alice attends a tea party unlike any other.
在"爱丽丝在仙境的冒险"第五部中,爱丽丝参加一个茶会,不像其他任何一次.
Guests include a mad hatter, a March hare, and a dormouse.
来宾包括一顶疯帽子,一头三月兔和一栋宿舍.
“Yes, it is his business!”
“是的,这是他的事!”
said Five, “and I’ll tell him—it was for bringing the cook tulip-roots instead of onions.”
他说,“我会告诉他,那是为了把厨师郁金香而不是洋葱。 “
Seven flung down his brush, and had just begun, “Well, of all the unjust things—” when his eye fell upon Alice, as she stood watching them, and he checked himself suddenly.
7人挥起他的画笔,开始说,“嗯,所有不公正的事情——” 当他的眼睛倒向爱丽丝,当她站着看着他们时,他突然检查自己。
The others looked round also, and all of them bowed low.
其他人也看了一眼,他们都低头了。
“Would you tell me,” said Alice, a little timidly, “why you are painting those roses?”
爱丽丝胆小地说,“你愿意告诉我吗?” “
Five and Seven said nothing, but looked at Two.
五和七无所言而取相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相.
Two began in a low voice, “Why the fact is, you see, miss, this here ought to have been a red rose tree, and we put a white one in by mistake; and if the Queen was to find it out, we should all have our heads cut off, you know.
两人以低调的声音开始,“为什么小姐,这里的事实是一棵红色的玫瑰树,我们错误地放入了一棵白色的;如果女王发现它,我们都应该被砍掉头,你知道的。
So you see, miss, we’re doing our best, afore she comes, to—” At this moment, Five, who had been anxiously looking across the garden, called out, “The Queen!
所以,小姐,我们正在尽力,在她来之前, 此时,五更急忙地对着花园一望,叫道:"皇后!
The Queen!”
女王万岁!”
and the three gardeners instantly threw themselves flat upon their faces.
三个园丁当场将自己抛在地上。
There was a sound of many footsteps, and Alice looked round, eager to see the Queen.
声入人心的声出出出许多脚步,爱丽丝环顾四周,渴望见到女王.
First came ten soldiers carrying clubs; these were all shaped like the three gardeners, oblong and flat, with their hands and feet at the corners.
最初有十名士兵带着球杆来;这些球杆的形状都像三个园丁相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相接相相接相接相相相接相相
Next the ten courtiers; these were ornamented all over with diamonds, and walked two and two, as the soldiers did.
下一个是十位侍从,他们带着钻石到处装饰,像士兵一样走来走去。
After these came the royal children; there were ten of them, and the little dears came jumping merrily along hand in hand, in couples: they were all ornamented with hearts.
在他们来到后,皇室子女就来到了那里;他们中有十人,小可爱们一起欢快地跳来:他们都是用心装饰的。
Next came the guests, mostly kings and queens, and among them Alice recognized the White Rabbit.
接下来是来宾,多为王后,其中爱丽丝认出了"白兔".
It was talking in a hurried nervous manner, smiling at everything that was said, and went by without noticing her.
它以匆忙的紧张方式说话,对所说的话笑了一笑而过,没有注意到她。
Then followed the Knave of Hearts, carrying the King’s crown on a crimson velvet cushion; and, last of all this grand procession, came the King and Queen of Hearts.
后跟随克纳夫出道,将国王的王冠抱在克林松花绒垫上;最后,这出盛大的游行也来到了国王和心后.
Alice was rather doubtful whether she ought not to lie down on her face like the three gardeners, but she could not remember ever having heard of such a rule at processions.
爱丽丝很怀疑她是否不应该像三个园丁一样躺在她脸上,但她不记得在游行中曾听说过这样的规则.
“ And besides, what would be the use of a procession,” thought she, “if people had all to lie down upon their faces, so that they couldn’t see it?”
“...... 她认为“如果人们都趴在地上, “
So she stood still where she was, and waited.
于是她静静地站在那里 等待着
When the procession came opposite to Alice, they all stopped and looked at her, and the Queen said severely, “Who is this?”
当游行对面爱丽丝时,他们都停下来看着她,女王严厉地说道:"这是谁? “
She said it to the Knave of Hearts, who only bowed and smiled i n reply.
她向"心之克娜芙"(Knave of Hearts)说出,她只鞠躬并微笑地回答我.
“Idiot!”
“白痴!” !
said the Queen, tossing her head impatiently; and, turning to Alice, she went on, “What’s your name, child?”
女王说,她不耐烦地抛出头来;她转而对爱丽丝说,“你叫什么名字,孩子?” “
“My name is Alice, so please Your Majesty,” said Alice very politely; but she added, to herself, “Why, they’re only a pack of cards, after all.
“我叫爱丽丝,所以请陛下,”爱丽丝非常礼貌地说;但她对自己补充道,“为什么,毕竟它们只是一包牌。
I needn’t be afraid of them!”
我不必害怕他们! “
“ And who are these?”
“...... 这是谁? “
said the Queen, pointing to the three gardeners who were lying round the rose tree; for, you see, as they were lying on their faces, and the pattern on their backs was the same as the rest of the pack, she could not tell whether they were gardeners, or soldiers, or courtiers, or three of her own children.
女王说,她指着在玫瑰树上躺着的三位园丁;因为,你看,当他们躺在自己的脸上时,他们的背上图案和其余的包一样,她无法分辨他们是园丁,还是士兵,还是侍从,还是她自己的三个孩子.
“How should I know?”
“我怎么知道? “
said Alice, surprised at her own courage.
爱丽丝说, 惊讶她自己的勇气。
“It’s no business of mine.”
" 这与我无关。 “
The Queen turned crimson with fury, and, after glaring at her for a moment like a wild beast, screamed, “Off with her head!
女王怒而欲绝,在像野兽一样对着她一瞬间后,她大叫道:“用她的头!
Off—” “Nonsense!”
关闭 - " 无意识! "
said Alice, very loudly and decidedly, and the Queen was silent.
说出爱丽丝,非常响亮和果断,而女王却默默无语.
The King laid his hand upon her arm, and timidly said, “Consider, my dear: she is only a child!”
国王把手放在她的手臂上,他胆怯地说:亲爱的,你看看,她只是一个孩子。
The Queen turned angrily away from him, and said to the Knave, “Turn them over!”
后王怒而避之,对克纳弗说:"把他们翻过去!"
The Knave did so, very carefully, with one foot.
克纳夫人这样做,非常小心,用一英尺.
“Get up!”
"起来!"
said the Queen, in a shrill, loud voice, and the three gardeners instantly jumped up, and began bowing to the King, the Queen, the royal children, and everybody else.
说出王后,用高声的叫声,三个园丁立刻跳起来,开始向国王,王后,王后,王室子女等所有人鞠躬.
“Leave off that!”
“放开它!”
screamed the Queen.
尖叫着女王。
“You make me giddy.”
“你让我发笑。 “
And turning to the rose tree, she went on, “What have you been doing here?”
转向玫瑰树,她接着说:"你在这里做什么? “
“May it please Your Majesty,” said Two, in a very humble tone, going down on one knee as he spoke, “we were trying—” “I see!”
" 愿陛下悦之, " 二以非常谦卑的口吻说: " 我们在努力 " 。
said the Queen, who had meanwhile been examining the roses.
女王说,她正在检查玫瑰。
“Off with their heads!”
他们的头痛!
gardeners, who ran to Alice for protection.
园丁,谁跑到爱丽丝保护。
“You shan’t be beheaded!”
“你不会被斩首!”
said Alice, and she put them into a large flowerpot that stood near.
爱丽丝说,她把它们放进一个 站在附近的花盆。
The three soldiers wandered about for a minute or two, looking for them, and then quietly marched off after the others.
三名士兵徘徊了一两分钟,寻找他们,然后悄悄地跟随其他人出走.
“ Are their heads off?”
“...... 他们的头掉了吗? “
shouted the Queen.
呼为后.
“Their heads are gone, if it please Your Majesty!”
“陛下,如果愿意,他们的头就不见了!”
the soldiers shouted in reply.
士兵们呼喊着,
“That’s right!”
“没错!
shouted the Queen.
呼为后.
“Can you play croquet?”
“你可以玩克罗克特吗? “
The soldiers were silent, and looked at Alice, as the question was evidently meant for her.
士兵们默默地看着爱丽丝, 因为问题显然是针对她的。
“Yes!”
对!
shouted Alice.
喊爱丽丝。
“Come on, then!”
"来吧!"
roared the Queen, and Alice joined the procession, wondering very much what would happen next.
咆哮了女王,爱丽丝加入了游行,非常想知道接下来会发生什么.
“It’s—it’s a very fine day!”
“今天天气很好!”
said a timid voice at her side.
在她身边说出一个胆小的声音。
She was walking by the White Rabbit, who was peeping anxiously into her face.
她走在了白兔旁边,白兔急忙地窥入她的脸.
“Very,” said Alice.
爱丽丝说,“非常,”
“Where’s the Duchess?”
" 女公爵们在哪里? “
“Hush!
“闭嘴!
Hush!”
安静!
said the Rabbit in a low, hurried tone.
兔以低而快的语气说出.
He looked anxiously over his shoulder as he spoke, and then raised himself upon tiptoe, put his mouth close to her ear, and whispered, “She’s under sentence of execution.”
他一说话就焦急地看着他肩膀上,然后在尖脚上站起,把口靠近她的耳朵并低语地说: " 她正被处死。 “
“What for?”
“为什么? “
said Alice.
说爱丽丝。
“Did you say ‘What a pity!’
"你说:"真可惜! " ; "
” the Rabbit asked.
“兔子问。
“No, I didn’t,” said Alice.
爱丽丝说,
“I don’t think it’s at all a pity.
“我一点也不觉得可惜。
I said ‘What for?’
我说:"为什么? " ; "
“She boxed the Queen’s ears—” the Rabbit began.
" 她打入了女王的耳朵 -- -- " 兔子开始。
Alice gave a little scream of laughter.
爱丽丝笑了一下
“Oh, hush!”
"哦,嘘!"
the Rabbit whispered in a frightened tone.
兔子以恐怖的语气低语
“The Queen will hear you!
“女王将听到你的声音!
You see, she came rather late, and the Queen said—” “Get to your places!”
你看,她来得相当晚,女王说——"去你的地方吧!"
shouted the Queen in a voice of thunder, and people began running about in all directions, tumbling up against each other.
在雷声中高喊女王,人们开始四处跑来跑去,相互相向而起.
However, they got settled down in a minute or two, and the game began.
然而,他们在一两分钟后就安定下来了,比赛开始了.
Alice thought she had never seen such a curious croquet ground in her life; it was all ridges and furrows.
爱丽丝认为她一生中从未见过如此奇特的克罗克地;这都是山脊和地沟.
The balls were live hedgehogs, the mallets live flamingos, and the soldiers had to double themselves up and to stand on their hands and feet, to make the arches.
球是活的刺桐,花花是活活活活活活的火烈鸟,士兵们不得不将自己翻了一番并站起手脚,来做起拱来.
The chief difficulty Alice found at first was in managing her flamingo.
最大的困难 爱丽丝一开始在管理她的火烈鸟
She succeeded in getting its body tucked away, comfortably enough, under her arm, with its legs hanging down, but generally, just as she had got its neck nicely straightened out and was going to give the hedgehog a blow with its head, it would twist itself round and look up in her face, with such a puzzled expression that she could not help bursting out laughing.
她成功地把尸体裹住, 舒适地放在了手臂下, 腿被吊住, 但一般地说, 就像她颈部整齐了, 并且要用头来打刺猬一样, 它会自己扭转并抬头看她的脸, 充满了迷惑的表情, 她无法帮助爆笑。
When she had got its head down, and was going to begin again, it was very provoking to find that the hedgehog had unrolled itself, and was in the act of crawling away.
当她把头往下掉的时候,并且正要重新开始的时候,它非常激起人们的注意,发现刺桐已经自己卷起来,并且正在爬走的行为中.
Besides all this, there was generally a ridge or furrow in the way wherever she wanted to send the hedgehog to, and, as the doubled-up soldiers were always getting up and walking off to other parts of the ground, Alice soon came to the conclusion that it was a very difficult game indeed.
除此之外,在她想送刺猬去的地方,一般都会有山脊或地沟出行,而随着倍增的士兵们总能起起身走去地上其他地方,爱丽丝很快就得出结论,这确实是一场非常困难的游戏.
The players all played at once without waiting for turns, quarreling all the while, and fighting for the hedgehogs; and in a very short time the Queen was in a furious passion, and went stamping about, shouting, “Off with his head!”
玩家们都同时出场,没有等待轮回,争吵一阵子,为刺客而战;在很短的时间内,王后充满了愤怒的激情,并到处走来走去地喊道:"用他的头!
or “Off with her head!”
或用她的头痛。
about once in a minute.
大约一分钟。
Alice began to feel very uneasy: to be sure, she had not as yet had any dispute with the Queen, but she knew that it might happen any minute.
爱丽丝开始感到非常不安:可以肯定的是,她还没有与女王发生任何争执,但她知道随时可能发生.
“ And then,” thought she, “what would become of me?
“...... 然后,“她认为,“我会变成什么样?
They’re dreadfully fond of beheading people here; the great wonder is that there’s anyone left alive!”
他们非常喜欢斩首,
She was looking about for some way of escape, and wondering whether she could get away without being seen, when she noticed a curious appearance in the air.
她正在寻找某种逃生方式,并想着她能否在不被人看到的情况下逃走,当时她注意到空中有一个奇怪的外表.
It puzzled her very much at first, but, after watching it a minute or two, she made it out to be a grin, and she said to herself, “It’s the Cheshire Cat: now I shall have somebody to talk to.”
起初她很困惑,但看了一两分钟后,她就笑了起来,她对自己说,“这是切希尔猫:现在我要找人谈谈。 “
“How are you getting on?”
“你怎么样? “
said the Cat, as soon as there was mouth enough for it to speak with.
猫说,只要有 嘴足够它说话。
Alice waited till the eyes appeared, and then nodded.
爱丽丝等到眼睛出现,然后点头.
“It’s no use speaking to it,” she thought, “till its ears have come, or at least one of them.”
她认为,“直到耳朵到来, “
In another minute the whole head appeared, and then Alice put down her flamingo, and began an account of the game, feeling very glad she had someone to listen to her.
在另一分钟里,整个头出现了,然后爱丽丝放下了她的火烈鸟,开始讲述游戏,觉得很高兴她有别人听她的.
The Cat seemed to think that there was enough of it now in sight, and no more of it appeared.
猫似乎认为它已经足够在眼前,不再出现.
“I don’t think they play at all fairly,” Alice began, in rather a complaining tone, “and they all quarrel so dreadfully one can’t hear oneself speak—and they don’t seem to have any rules in particular; at least, if there are, nobody attends to them—and you’ve no idea how confusing it is all the things being alive.
爱丽丝以抱怨的语气开始说, “他们争吵起来都听不到自己说话, 他们似乎没有特别的规则; 至少没有人照顾他们,
For instance, there’s the arch I’ve got to go through next walking about at the other end of the ground—and I should have croqueted the Queen’s hedgehog just now, only it ran away when it saw mine coming!”
例如, 有个拱门我必须穿过地上的另一端, “
“How do you like the Queen?”
“你喜欢女王吗? “
said the Cat in a low voice.
猫低声说。
“Not at all,” said Alice.
爱丽丝说:“根本不是,”
“She’s so extremely—” Then she noticed that the Queen was close behind her, listening: so she went on, “—likely to win, that it’s hardly worthwhile finishing the game.”
" 她是如此地... " 她接着注意到女王在她身后很近,听她说:所以她接着说,“——可能要赢,这根本不值得完成比赛。 “
The Queen smiled and passed on.
王后一笑相传.
“Who are you talking to?”
" 你在和谁说话? “
said the King, going up to Alice, and looking at the Cat’s head with great curiosity.
国王说,去爱丽丝, 和非常好奇地看着猫的头。
“It’s a friend of mine—a Cheshire Cat,” said Alice.
爱丽丝说,
“ Allow me to introduce it.”
“...... 请允许我介绍一下。 “
“I don’t like the look of it at all,” said the King.
国王说,
“However, it may kiss my hand if it likes.”
“然而,如果喜欢,它可以亲吻我的手。 “
“I’ d rather not,” the Cat remarked.
" 我宁愿不, " 猫说。
“Don’t be impertinent,” said the King, “and don’t look at me like that!”
国王说, “不要无礼,
He got behind Alice as he spoke.
他说话的时候跟爱丽丝一样
“ A cat may look at a king,” said Alice.
爱丽丝说:“猫可以看着国王。”
“I’ve read that in a book, but I don’t remember where.”
我读过一本书, “
“Well, it must be removed,” said the King, very decidedly.
国王说,“必须把它取出。”
And he called to the Queen, who was passing at the moment, “My dear!
他呼唤当时经过的女王说:"亲爱的!
I wish you would have this cat removed!”
我希望你能把这只猫弄走! “
The Queen had only one way of settling all difficulties, great or small.
女王只有一种方法解决一切困难,无论大小.
“Off with his head!”
他的头痛!
she said, without even looking round.
她说,甚至不看四周。
“I’ll fetch the executioner myself,” said the King eagerly, and he hurried off.
国王急切地说,“我亲自去找行刑者。”
Alice thought she might as well go back, and see how the game was going on, as she heard the Queen’s voice in the distance, screaming with passion.
爱丽丝认为她应该回去,看看游戏的进行情况,因为她在远处听到女王的声音,充满激情地尖叫.
Alice had already heard her sentence three of the players to be executed for having missed their turns, and she did not like the look of things at all, as the game was in such confusion that she never knew whether it was her turn or not.
爱丽丝已经听到了她因错过了转会而被处死的三个玩家的句子,她完全不喜欢事物的外观,因为游戏中陷入了如此混乱,她从不知道是否轮到她.
So she went in search of her hedgehog.
于是她去寻找她的刺猬。
The hedgehog was engaged in a fight with another hedgehog, which seemed to Alice an excellent opportunity for croqueting one of them with the other: the only difficulty was, that her flamingo was gone across to the other side of the garden, where Alice could see it trying in a helpless sort of way to fly up into a tree.
刺客与另一只刺客打斗,在爱丽丝看来,这似乎是将其中一只刺客与另一只刺客打成一团的绝好机会:唯一的困难是,她的火烈鸟被冲到花园的另一边,爱丽丝可以看到它以无助的方式试图飞入一棵树.
By the time she had caught the flamingo and brought it back, the fight was over, and both the hedgehogs were out of sight.
等到她抓住了火烈鸟并把它带回来的时候,战斗就结束了,两只刺客都离开了视线.
“But it doesn’t matter much,” thought Alice, “as all the arches are gone from this side of the ground.”
爱丽丝认为, “但这并不重要, “
So she tucked it away under her arm, that it might not escape again, and went back for a little more conversation with her friend.
所以她把它藏在了手臂下, 以免它再次逃脱, 然后回去和她的朋友多聊一会。
When she got back to the Cheshire Cat, she was surprised to find quite a large crowd collected round it.
当她回到"切希尔猫"时,她惊讶地发现周围聚集了相当多人群.
There was a dispute going on between the executioner, the King, and the Queen, who were all talking at once, while all the rest were quite silent, and looked very uncomfortable.
刽子手克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克克
The moment Alice appeared, she was appealed to by all three to settle the question, and they repeated their arguments to her, though, as they all spoke at once, she found it very hard indeed to make out exactly what they said.
爱丽丝一出现,她就被三人都呼吁解决问题,他们向她重复了自己的论点,不过,当他们同时发言时,她觉得很难说清楚他们到底说了什么。
The executioner’s argument was, that you couldn’t cut off a head unless there was a body to cut it off from: that he had never had to do such a thing before, and he wasn’t going to begin at his time of life.
死刑执行者的论点是,除非有尸体切断头部,否则你无法砍下头部:他以前从未做过这样的事,而且他不会从他生命中开始。
The King’s argument was, that anything that had a head could be beheaded, and that you weren’t to talk nonsense.
国王的论据是,任何有头的东西都可以被砍头,而你又不会胡说八道。
The Queen’s argument was, that if something wasn’t done about it in less than no time she’ d have everybody executed, all round.
女王的论调是,如果在不到不久的时间内没有对此做点什么,她就会把所有人都处死。
(It was this last remark that had made the whole party look so grave and anxious.)
(正是这最后一句话让全党看起来如此严肃而焦虑. )
Alice could think of nothing else to say but, “It belongs to the Duchess.
爱丽丝除了说“它属于公爵夫人。
You’ d better ask her about it.”
你最好问问她。 “
“She’s in prison,” the Queen said to the executioner.
女王对行刑者说,
“Fetch her here.”
“把她放在这。 “
And the executioner went off like an arrow.
刽子手像箭一样飞走
The Cat’s head began fading away the moment he was gone, and, by the time he had come back with the Duchess, it had entirely disappeared; so the King and the executioner ran wildly up and down looking for it, while the rest of the party went back to the game.
猫头鹰一走后头就渐渐消退了,到了他和公爵夫人们一起回来的时候,头就已经完全消失了;于是国王和行刑者疯狂地上下地跑来跑去找它,而党内其他人则回到了游戏中去.
