CHAPTER IX.
第九章
The Mock Turtle’s Story ou can’t think how glad I am to see you again, you dear old thing!”
我很高兴能再见到你,
they walked off together.
他们一起走了
Alice was very glad to find her in such a pleasant temper, and thought to herself that perhaps it was only the pepper that had made her so savage when they met in the kitchen.
爱丽丝非常高兴地发现她脾气这么愉快,并且觉得也许只有胡椒才让她在厨房相遇时变得如此野蛮.
“When I’m a Duchess,” she said to herself (not in a very hopeful tone), “I won’t have any pepper in my kitchen at all.
“当我是女公爵时,”她对自己说(不是充满希望的语气),“我厨房里根本就没有胡椒了。
Soup does very well without— Maybe it’s always pepper that makes people hot-tempered,” she went on, very much pleased at having found out a new kind of rule, “and vinegar that makes them sour—and chamomile that makes them bitter—and—and barley-sugar and such things that make children sweet-tempered.
没有... 或许总是胡椒令人们发热, ”她接着说, 很高兴发现了一种新的规则, “和醋,
I only wish people knew that: then they wouldn’t be so stingy about it, you know—” In Part 6 of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Alice finds herself in an awkward game of croquet with the King and Queen of Hearts featuring playing card arches, hedgehog balls, and flamingo mallets.
我只希望人们知道这一点, 在"爱丽丝在仙境的冒险"的第六部中,爱丽丝发现自己在一场尴尬的克罗克特游戏中与心之王和王后相伴出演了以打牌拱门为主角的克罗克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克特克
She had quite forgotten the Duchess by this time, and was a little startled when she heard her voice close to her ear.
此时她已经相当忘记了公爵夫人们,当她听到她的声音靠近她的耳朵时,她有点吃惊.
“You’re thinking about something, my dear, and that makes you forget to talk.
“你在想什么,亲爱的,
I can’t tell you just now what the moral of that is, but I shall remember it in a bit.”
我现在不能告诉你, “
“Perhaps it hasn’t one,” Alice ventured to remark.
爱丽丝冒险发表评论。
“Tut, tut, child!”
“啧,啧,孩子!”
said the Duchess.
说公爵夫人。
“Everything’s got a moral, if only you can find it.”
“每个人都有道德, “
And she squeezed herself up closer to Alice’s side as she spoke.
在她说话的时候,她把自己挤得更靠近爱丽丝的一面。
Alice did not much like keeping so close to her: first, because the Duchess was very ugly; and secondly, because she was exactly the right height to rest her chin upon Alice’s shoulder, and it was an uncomfortably sharp chin.
爱丽丝不太喜欢保持如此接近她:第一,因为公爵夫人非常丑陋;第二,因为她正是在爱丽丝的肩膀上休息下巴的合适高位,而这是一个令人不快的尖下巴.
However, she did not like to be rude, so she bore it as well as she could.
然而,她不喜欢无礼,因此她承受了她所能承受的。
“The game’s going on better now,” she said, by way of keeping up the conversation a little.
她说,“现在游戏进行得更好”,通过保持对话。
“’Tis so,” said the Duchess, “and the moral of that is—‘Oh, ’tis love, ’tis love, that makes the world go round!’
女公爵们说,“哦,爱,爱,爱,爱,这才是世界的转折! " ; "
“Somebody said,” Alice whispered, “that it’s done by everybody minding their own business!”
“有人说,”爱丽丝悄悄地说,“这是每个人都关心自己的事情做的! “
“ Ah, well!
“...... 啊,不错!
It means much the same thing,” said the Duchess, digging her sharp little chin into Alice’s shoulder as she added, “and the moral of that is—‘Take care of the sense, and the sounds will take care of themselves.’
女公爵们说,这同样意义。 她把尖锐的小下巴挖到爱丽丝的肩膀上, “而道德上说, " ; "
“How fond she is of finding morals in things!”
她喜欢在事物中找到道德。
Alice thought to herself.
爱丽丝自己想的
“I daresay you’re wondering why I don’t put my arm round your waist,” the Duchess said after a pause.
「我敢说你们在想, 为什么我不把我的手臂放在你们的腰上,
“The reason is, that I’m doubtful about the temper of your flamingo.
我怀疑你的火烈鸟脾气。
Shall I try?”
要我试试吗? “
“He might bite,” Alice cautiously replied, not feeling at all anxious to have the experiment tried.
爱丽丝谨慎地回答说:“他可能会被咬,”他完全不急于尝试实验。
“Very true,” said the Duchess, “flamingos and mustard both bite.
公爵夫人说,“非常真实,”“火焰和芥子都咬了。
And the moral of that is—‘Birds of a feather flock together.’
其道德就是羽毛群的鸟类 " ; "
“Only mustard isn’t a bird,” Alice remarked.
爱丽丝说,
“Right, as usual,” said the Duchess.
女公爵们说:“权利,一如既往。”
“What a clear way you have of putting things!”
“你们有多么明确的方式摆放东西! “
“It’s a mineral, I think,” said Alice.
爱丽丝说,
“Of course it is,” said the Duchess, who seemed ready to agree to everything that Alice said.
“当然,”女公爵们说,她似乎准备同意爱丽丝所说的一切。
“There’s a large mustard-mine near here.
“附近有一大块芥子矿。
And the moral of that is—‘The more there is of mine, the less there is of yours.’
道德是,我越多,你就越少 " ; "
“Oh, I know!”
“哦,我知道了!”
exclaimed Alice, who had not attended to this last remark.
赞美爱丽丝,她没有注意这最后一句话。
“It’s a vegetable.
" 这是一个蔬菜。
It doesn’t look like one, but it is.”
这看起来不像, “
“I quite agree with you,” said the Duchess, “and the moral—‘Be what you would seem to be’—or, if you’ d like it put simply—‘Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise.’
“我完全同意你的观点,”公爵夫人说,“道德是你们所认为的,如果你喜欢它,就不要想象自己不是别人所认为的,你原来是或可能不是别人所认为的。 " ; "
“I think I should understand that better,” Alice said very politely, “if I had it written down: but I can’t quite follow it as you say it.”
“我想我应该更了解这一点,”爱丽丝非常礼貌地说,“如果我写下来的话:但是我无法完全按照你说的去做。 “
“That’s nothing to what I could say if I chose,” the Duchess replied, in a pleased tone.
“如果我选择的话,那就没什么可说的了。”
“Pray don’t trouble yourself to say it any longer than that,” said Alice.
爱丽丝说,
“Oh, don’t talk about trouble!”
“哦,不要谈论麻烦!”
said the Duchess.
说公爵夫人。
“I make you a present of everything I’ve said as yet.”
我为您准备我所说的话的礼物。 “
“ A cheap sort of present!”
“一种廉价的礼物!”
thought Alice.
以为爱丽丝。
“I’m glad they don’t give birthday presents like that!”
“我很高兴他们不会这样送生日礼物! “
But she did not venture to say it out loud.
但她没有冒险说出来
“Thinking again?”
“再次思考? “
the Duchess asked, with another dig of her sharp little chin.
公爵夫人问,又挖出她尖利的小下巴
“I’ve a right to think,” said Alice sharply, for she was beginning to feel a little worried.
爱丽丝直截了当地说:“我有权思考,
“Just about as much right,” said the Duchess, “as pigs have to fly; and the m—” But here, to Alice’s great surprise, the Duchess’s voice died away, even in the middle of her favourite word “moral,” and the arm that was linked into hers began to tremble.
女公爵们说,“正如猪必须飞;而且, 但在这里,爱丽丝感到非常惊讶的是,女公爵们的声音已经消失,甚至在她最喜欢的“道德”一词中间,与她联系在一起的手臂开始颤抖。
Alice looked up, and there stood the Queen in front of them, with her arms folded, frowning like a thunderstorm.
爱丽丝抬起头来,在她们面前站着女王,双臂被折起,皱起如雷.
“ A fine day, Your Majesty!”
“陛下,美好的一天!”
the Duchess began in a low, weak voice.
公爵夫人开始于低而弱的声音.
“Now, I give you fair warning,” shouted the Queen, stamping on the ground as she spoke; “either you or your head must be off, and that in about half no time!
“现在,我向你们发出公平的警告,”女王喊着,在她说话的时候在地上盖了章;“你或你的头,必须割去;在大约一半的时间里,不能割去!
Take your choice!”
选择吧!”
The Duchess took her choice, and was gone in a moment.
女公爵们选择了她 马上就走了
“Let’s go on with the game,” the Queen said to Alice, and Alice was too much frightened to say a word, but slowly followed her back to the croquet ground.
女王对爱丽丝说, “让我们继续游戏吧,”爱丽丝吓得不敢说话,
The other guests had taken advantage of the Queen’s absence, and were resting in the shade: however, the moment they saw her, they hurried back to the game, the Queen merely remarking that a moment’s delay would cost them their lives.
其他客人利用了女王的缺席,正在阴间休息:然而,他们一见到她,就匆匆回到游戏中去,女王只是说一时的拖延会让他们丧失生命.
All the time they were playing, the Queen never left off quarreling with the other players, and shouting, “Off with his head!”
在他们玩的时候,女王从未放弃与其他玩家的争吵,并大叫“用他的头!”
or “Off with her head!”
或用她的头痛。
Those whom she sentenced were taken into custody by the soldiers, who of course had to leave off being arches to do this, so that by the end of half an hour or so there were no arches left, and all the players, except the King, the Queen, and Alice, were in custody and under sentence of execution.
被她判刑的人被士兵们收押了,当然他们必须离开做这个的拱门,这样到半个多小时后就没有拱门了,除了国王,王后和爱丽丝之外,所有玩家都被收押并被处死.
Then the Queen left off, quite out of breath, and said to Alice, “Have you seen the Mock Tu rtle yet?”
女王气愤地离去,对爱丽丝说:"你看见了吗? “
“No,” said Alice.
爱丽丝说:“不,”
“I don’t even know what a Mock Turtle is.”
“我甚至不知道什么是乌龟。 “
“It’s the thing Mock Turtle Soup is made from,” said the Queen.
女王说,“这是雾龟汤所产的东西,”
“I never saw one, or heard of one,” said Alice.
爱丽丝说,“我从未见过,也从未听说过。”
“Come on, then,” said the Queen, “and he shall tell you his history.”
女王说,“来吧,”他要告诉你他的历史。 “
As they walked off together, Alice heard the King say in a low voice, to the company generally, “You are all pardoned.”
当他们一起离开时,爱丽丝听到国王低调地对公司说:“你们都被赦免了。 “
“Come, that’s a good thing!”
"来吧,这是件好事!"
she said to herself, for she had felt quite unhappy at the number of executions the Queen had ordered.
她对自己说,因为她对女王下令处决的人数感到很不高兴。
They very soon came upon a Gryphon, lying fast asleep in the sun.
他们很快就碰到了一只克瑞芬 在太阳下迅速入睡
(If you don’t know what a Gryphon is, look at the picture.)
(如果你不知道Gryphon是什么,
“Up, lazy thing!”
起来,懒惰的东西!
after that savage Queen: so she waited.
在那个野蛮的皇后之后:所以她等待。
The Gryphon sat up and rubbed its eyes.
格来方坐起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.
Then it watched the Queen till she was out of sight.
然后它看着女王,直到她离开视线.
Then it chuckled.
然后,它笑了起来。
“What fun!”
"真有趣!" (笑声)
said the Gryphon, half to itself, half to Alice.
格里方说,一半给自己,一半给爱丽丝。
“What is the fun?”
“有什么乐趣? “
said Alice.
说爱丽丝。
“Why, she,” said the Gryphon.
Gryphon说,
“It’s all her fancy, that: they never executes nobody, you know.
“这都是她的花花公子,
Come on!”
来吧!"
“Everybody says ‘come on!’
"大家都说:"来吧! " ; "
here,” thought Alice, as she went slowly after it.
在这里,“爱丽丝认为,她之后慢慢地走了。
“I never was so ordered about in all my life, never!”
“我一生从未如此奉命!”
They had not gone far before they saw the Mock Turtle in the distance, sitting sad and lonely on a little ledge of rock, and, as they came nearer, Alice could hear him sighing as if his heart would break.
他们没有走多远,就在远处看到"摩克龟",坐在一束小岩石上悲哀而孤独,而随着他们走近了,爱丽丝可以听到他叹息,好象心碎了.
She pitied him deeply.
她深深地同情着他。
“What is his sorrow?”
“他的悲伤是什么? “
she asked the Gryphon, and the Gryphon answered, very nearly in the same words as before, “It’s all his fancy, that: he hasn’t got no sorrow, you know.
她问格莱方,格莱方回答说,“这是他的花花公子:他没有悲伤。
Come on!”
来吧!"
So they went up to the Mock Turtle, who looked at them with large eyes full of tears, but said nothing.
于是他们上到"摩克龟"上去,"摩克龟"用满是眼泪的大眼睛看着他们,却一言不发.
“This here young lady,” said the Gryphon, “she wants for to know your history, she do.”
“这位年轻的女士,”格里方说,“她想了解你的历史。 “
“I’ll tell it her,” said the Mock Turtle in a deep, hollow tone.
「我会告诉她, 」“Mock Turtle”以深空的语气说:
“Sit down, both of you, and don’t speak a word till I’ve finished.”
两位坐下, 在我说完之前, “
So they sat down, and nobody spoke for some minutes.
于是他们坐下来, 没有人说话几分钟。
Alice thought to herself, “I don’t see how he can even finish, if he doesn’t begin.”
爱丽丝心里想道, “我看不出如果他不开始, “
But she waited patiently.
但她耐心等待着
“Once,” said the Mock Turtle at last, with a deep sigh, “I was a real Turtle.”
“以前,”最后,“Mock Turtle”带着深深的叹息说,“我是一只真正的Turtle。 “
These words were followed by a very long silence, broken only by an occasional exclamation of “Hjckrrh!”
这些话之后是很长的沉默,只是偶尔叹息地说出“Hjckrrh!”
from the Gryphon, and the constant heavy sobbing of the Mock Turtle.
和莫克乌龟的不断重泣
Alice was very nearly getting up and saying, “Thank you, sir, for your interesting story,” but she could not help thinking there must be more to come, so she sat still and said nothing.
爱丽丝几乎站起来说,“谢谢你,先生,谢谢你的有趣故事,”但她不禁想到一定还有更多的事情要来,所以她静静地坐着,什么都不说。
“When we were little,” the Mock Turtle went on at last, more calmly, though still sobbing a little now and then, “we went to school in the sea.
“我们小的时候,”“雾龟”终于更平静地继续了,尽管现在仍然有些泣出,“我们在海上上学。
The master was an old Turtle—we used to call him Tortoise—” “Why did you call him Tortoise, if he wasn’t one?”
主人是一只老龟 -- -- 我们曾叫他"龟" -- -- "你为什么叫他"龟",如果他不是"龟"? “
Alice asked.
爱丽丝问。
“We called him Tortoise because he taught us,” said the Mock Turtle angrily.
“我们叫他乌龟是因为他教导了我们,” 乌龟愤怒地说。
“Really, you are very dull!”
“你实在是太无聊了!”
“You ought to be ashamed of yourself for asking such a simple question,” added the Gryphon; and then they both sat silent and looked at poor Alice, who felt ready to sink into the earth.
“你应该为自己问这样一个简单的问题而感到羞愧,”
At last the Gryphon said to the Mock Turtle, “Drive on, old fellow!
格来方终于对"摩克龟"说道:"老家伙,快开吧!
Don’t be all day about it!”
别整天都这样! “
“Yes, we went to school in the sea, though you mayn’t believe it—” “I never said I didn’t!”
“是的,我们在海上上学,尽管你可能不相信,”“我从未说过我没有!”
interrupted Alice.
打断了爱丽丝。
“You did,” said the Mock Turtle.
" 你做到了" 雾龟说。
“Hold your tongue!”
闭上你的舌头!
added the Gryphon, before Alice could speak again.
在爱丽丝能再说话之前 加入克瑞芬号
The Mock Turtle went on.
雾龟继续了
“We had the best of educations—in fact, we went to school every day—” “I’ve been to a day-school, too,” said Alice.
爱丽丝说,“我们有最好的教育——事实上,我们每天都上学——”“我也上过日间学校”。
“You needn’t be so proud as all that.”
“你不必如此骄傲。 “
“With extras?”
“额外费用? “
asked the Mock Turtle a little anxiously.
{\fn黑体\fs22\bord1\shad0\3aHBE\4aH00\fscx67\fscy66\2cHFFFFFF\3cH808080}莫克·乌龟有点急躁地问了一下 {\fn黑体\fs22\bord1\shad0\3aHBE\4aH00\fscx67\fscy66\2cHFFFFFF\3cH808080}那只是个问题
“Yes,” said Alice, “we learned French and music.”
爱丽丝说,“我们学习了法语和音乐。 “
“ And washing?”
“...... 还有洗衣服? “
said the Mock Turtle.
说摩克龟。
“Certainly not!”
“当然不是!”
said Alice indignantly.
说爱丽丝无耻地。
“ Ah!
“啊!
Then yours wasn’t a really good school,” said the Mock Turtle in a tone of great relief.
”“Mock Turtle”的语气非常轻松。
“Now at ours they had at the end of the bill, ‘French, music, and washing—extra.’
“现在在我们这里,他们在法案的结尾有`法语、音乐和洗 -- -- extra。 " ; "
“You couldn’t have wanted it much,” said Alice, “living at the bottom of the sea.”
爱丽丝说,“你不可能想得太多,“生活在海底。 “
“I couldn’t afford to learn it,” said the Mock Turtle with a sigh.
我无法学习,
“I only took the regular course.”
“我只参加了常规课程。 “
“What was that?”
“这是什么? “
inquired Alice.
问爱丽丝。
“Reeling and Writhing, of course, to begin with,” the Mock Turtle replied, “and then the different branches of Arithmetic—Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, and Derision.”
" 当然,首先, " Mock Turtle回答说, " 然后是Arithmetic-Ambition、分心、Uglization和Derision的不同分支。 “
“I never heard of ‘Uglification,’” Alice ventured to say.
" 我从未听说过`丑化' " 爱丽丝冒险说。
“What is it?”
“这是什么? “
The Gryphon lifted up both its paws in surprise.
格莱芬号突然举起两只爪子
“What!
" 何谓!
Never heard of uglifying!”
从未听说过丑陋!
I suppose?”
我猜吗? “
“Yes,” said Alice doubtfully: “it means—to— make—anything—prettier.”
" 是的, " 爱丽丝有疑问地说: " 它意味着 -- -- 使 -- -- 任何事情变得更漂亮。 “
“Well, then,” the Gryphon went on, “if you don’t know what to uglify is, you are a simpleton.”
Gryphon继续说道:「如果你不知道丑化是什么, “
Alice did not feel encouraged to ask any more questions about it, so she turned to the Mock Turtle, and said, “What else had you to learn?”
爱丽丝不觉得被鼓励再问这个问题,于是她转向了"摩克龟"并说道:"你还能学到什么? “
“Well, there was Mystery,” the Mock Turtle replied, counting off the subjects on his flappers, “—Mystery, ancient and modern, with Seaography: then Drawling—the Drawling master was an old conger eel, that used to come once a week: he taught us Drawling, Stretching, and Fainting in Coils.”
" 嗯,有"神秘","莫克龟"回答说:"——神秘,古代和现代,有"海法"的题材:然后画出——画作的主人是一只曾经每周来过一次的老生鱼:他教我们画画,伸展和取出"油"的花样. “
“What was that like?”
“那是什么情况? “
said Alice.
说爱丽丝。
“Well, I can’t show it you myself,” the Mock Turtle said.
我无法亲自展示,
“I’m too stiff.
“我太僵硬了。
And the Gryphon never learnt it.”
而克赖方从来不学. “
“Hadn’t time,” said the Gryphon.
Gryphon说,
“I went to the Classics master, though.
“虽然我去了经典大师那里。
He was an old crab, he was.”
他是一个老螃蟹,他是。 “
“I never went to him,” the Mock Turtle said with a sigh.
“我从未去见他,” 雾龟叹息地说。
“He taught Laughing and Grief, they used to say.”
“他们常说:他教授笑和忧愁。 “
“So he did, so he did,” said the Gryphon, sighing in his turn; and both creatures hid their faces in their paws.
格来方说:他这样做了,他就这样做了。
“ And how many hours a day did you do lessons?”
“...... 你每天上多少个课? “
said Alice, in a hurry to change the subject.
爱丽丝说 急着改变话题
“Ten hours the first day,” said the Mock Turtle, “nine the next, and so on.”
“第一天十小时,”“Mock Turtle”说,“9小时后,等等。 “
“What a curious plan!”
“多么奇怪的计划!”
exclaimed Alice.
赞叹爱丽丝。
“That’s the reason they’re called lessons,” the Gryphon remarked: “because they lessen from day to day.”
Gryphon说:「这就是所谓的教训的原因, “
This was quite a new idea to Alice, and she thought it over a little before she made her next remark.
这对爱丽丝来说是个很新的想法,在她提出下个意见之前,她已经考虑过了一点.
“Then the eleventh day must have been a holiday?”
“那么,第11天必须是假日吗? “
“Of course it was,” said the Mock Turtle.
雾龟说,“当然是,”
“ And how did you manage on the twelfth?”
“...... 12号你是怎么做到的? “
Alice went on eagerly.
爱丽丝急切地继续
“That’s enough about lessons,” the Gryphon interrupted in a very decided tone.
Gryphon以决定的口吻打断。
“Tell her something about the games now.”
“现在告诉她一些关于游戏的事情。 “
