CHAPTER VII.
第七章. 导言
The Lion and the Unicorn he next moment soldiers came running through the wood, at first in twos and threes, then ten or twenty together, and at last in such crowds that they seemed to fill the whole forest.
狮子和独角兽 他接下来的一刻,士兵们跑过木头, 起初是两三分, 然后是十到二十个在一起, 终于在人群中 他们似乎填满了整个森林。
Alice got behind a tree, for fear of being run over, and watched them go by.
爱丽丝因为害怕被撞倒而跑到一棵树后,看着他们经过.
In Part 6 of Through the Looking-Glass, Alice meets Humpty Dumpty, an egotistical egg in clear danger of falling off a wall.
在"通向外观"第六部中,爱丽丝遇到了"胖子"(Humpty Dumpty),这个自负的蛋显然有从墙上倒下的危险.
She thought that in all her life she had never seen soldiers so uncertain on their feet: they were always tripping over something or other, and whenever one went down, several more always fell over him, so that the ground was soon covered with little heaps of men.
她认为,在她一生中,她从未见过士兵如此不确定的脚步:他们总是在某事上绊倒出事来,每当一个倒下的时候,还有几个人总是倒在他上,这样一来,地上就很快被一堆人所覆盖.
Then came the horses.
然后,马来了。
Having four feet, these managed rather better than the foot-soldiers: but even they stumbled now and then; and it seemed to be a regular rule that, whenever a horse stumbled the rider fell off instantly.
有四只脚,他们比脚兵做得更好:但即使他们偶尔也摔倒了,这似乎是一种常规规则,每当一匹马撞倒了骑手,骑手就立刻摔倒了。
The confusion got worse every moment, and Alice was very glad to get out of the wood into an open place, where she found the White King seated on the ground, busily writing in his memorandum-book.
混乱每分每秒都变得更加严重,爱丽丝非常高兴地走出木头走入一个开阔的地方,在那里她发现坐在地上的"白王",忙于在他的"备忘录"中写作.
“I’ve sent them all!”
「我把他们都送来了!
the King cried in a tone of delight, on seeing Alice.
国王在看到爱丽丝时 以欢快的语气哭泣
“Did you happen to meet any soldiers, my dear, as you came through the wood?”
“亲爱的,你碰巧遇到过任何士兵吗? “
“Yes, I did,” said Alice: “several thousand, I should think.”
“是的,我做到了”,爱丽丝说:“我想有几千人。 “
“Four thousand two hundred and seven, that’s the exact number,” the King said, referring to his book.
" "四千二百七,即取正数"王曰:"指其书也.
“I couldn’t send all the horses, you know, because two of them are wanted in the game.
我无法送出所有马匹,
“ And I haven’t sent the two Messengers, either.
“...... 我也没有派两个使者去。
They’re both gone to the town.
他们都去了城里。
Just look along the road, and tell me if you can see either of them.”
沿路看看 告诉我你能不能看见他们 “
“I see nobody on the road,” said Alice.
爱丽丝说,
“I only wish I had such eyes,” the King remarked in a fretful tone.
“我只希望我有这样一双眼睛,”国王以烦恼的语气说道。
“To be able to see Nobody!
“能够见到任何人!
And at that distance, too!
距离也一样!
Why, it’s as much as I can do to see real people, by this light!”
以这道光照耀真实的人,
All this was lost on Alice, who was still looking intently along the road, shading her eyes with one hand.
爱丽丝失去了这一切 爱丽丝仍然在路上一目了然 一只手遮住她的眼睛
“I see somebody now!”
“我现在看到有人了! “
she exclaimed at last.
她终于赞叹了
“But he’s coming very slowly—and what curious attitudes he goes into!”
“但他来得很慢,
(For the Messenger kept skipping up and down, and wriggling like an eel, as he came along, with his great hands spread out like fans on each side.)
(使者们)上下跳过,摇晃得像鳗鱼一样;当使者来了的时候,他的大手像粉丝们一样展开。
“Not at all,” said the King.
国王说,“根本不是。”
“He’s an Anglo- Saxon Messenger—and those are Anglo-Saxon attitudes.
“他是盎格鲁-撒克逊的使者,
He only does them when he’s happy.
他只在快乐的时候才这样做。
His name is Haigha.”
他的名字叫"海加"(Haigha). “
(He pronounced it to rhyme with “mayor.”
(他发音为"市长").
“I love my love with an H,” Alice couldn’t help beginning, “because he is Happy.
爱丽丝无法不从头开始,“因为他是快乐的。
I hate him with an H, because he is Hideous.
我恨他一个H,因为他是隐蔽的。
I fed him with— with—with Ham sandwiches and Hay.
我喂他吃咸三明治和海
His name is Haigha, and he lives—” “He lives on the Hill,” the King remarked simply, without the least idea that he was joining in the game, while Alice was still hesitating for the name of a town beginning with H.
他的名字叫"海克哈",他活了下来——""他住在山上",国王简单说道,完全没有想到他正在参加比赛,而爱丽丝仍然对一个从H开始的小镇的名字犹豫不决.
“The other Messenger’s called Hatta.
" 另一位使者称哈塔为.
I must have two, you know—to come and go.
我必须有两个,你知道的,来去去。
One to come, and one to go.”
一来一去. “
“I beg your pardon?”
" 你说什么? “
said Alice.
说爱丽丝。
“It isn’t respectable to beg,” said the King.
国王说,
“I only meant that I didn’t understand,” said Alice.
爱丽丝说,
“Why one to come and one to go?”
“为什么一个来一个去? “
“Didn’t I tell you?”
" 我不是告诉你了吗? “
the King repeated impatiently.
国王不耐烦地重复了
“I must have two—to fetch and carry.
" 我必须有两只手去取和携带。
One to fetch, and one to carry.”
一个去取,一个去搬 “
At this moment the Messenger arrived: he was far too much out of breath to say a word, and could only wave his hands about, and make the most fearful faces at the poor King.
此时使者到来:他喘不过气来,不敢说话,只能挥起手来,以最恐怖的面目对着可怜的国王.
“This young lady loves you with an H,” the King said, introducing Alice in the hope of turning off the Messenger’s attention from himself—but it was no use—the Anglo-Saxon attitudes only got more extraordinary every moment, while the great eyes rolled wildly from side to side.
国王说,“这位年轻的女士爱着你,”国王说,介绍爱丽丝是希望把使者的注意力从自己身上移开——但这没有用——盎格鲁-撒克逊人的态度每时每刻都变得更不寻常,而伟大的眼睛则从一面向一面狂走。
“You alarm me!”
"你吓到我了!"
said the King.
说王曰.
“I feel faint— Give me a ham sandwich!”
"我觉得晕倒... 给我个火腿三明治! “
On which the Messenger, to Alice’s great amusement, opened a bag that hung round his neck, and handed a sandwich to the King, who devoured it greedily.
使者们为爱丽丝的喜悦而打开一袋被吊在脖子上,把三明治交给国王,国王贪婪地吞噬了它。
“ Another sandwich!”
“...... 又一个三明治!"
said the King.
说王曰.
“There’s nothing but hay left now,” the Messenger said, peeping into the bag.
「现在只剩下干草了,
“Hay, then,” the King murmured in a faint whisper.
" 那么,"国王在微弱的低语中喃喃自语。
Alice was glad to see that it revived him a good deal.
爱丽丝很高兴看到它让他重获新生
“There’s nothing like eating hay when you’re faint,” he remarked to her, as he munched away.
“你晕倒的时候,没有什么比吃干草更好的了,”他对她说,
“I should think throwing cold water over you would be better,” Alice suggested: “or some sal-volatile.”
爱丽丝建议:“或者说, “
“I didn’t say there was nothing better,” the King replied.
国王回答说,
“I said there was nothing like it.”
“我说过,没有什么比这更象的。 “
Which Alice did not venture to deny.
爱丽丝不敢否认的
“Who did you pass on the road?”
“你路过谁? “
the King went on, holding out his hand to the Messenger for some more hay.
国王继续 向使者伸出他的手 为了更多的干草。
“Nobody,” said the Messenger.
使者说,“没有人”。
“Quite right,” said the King: “this young lady saw him too.
“相当正确”,国王说:“这位年轻的女士也看到了他。
So of course Nobody walks slower than you.”
所以当然没有人比你走得慢 “
“I do my best,” the Messenger said in a sulky tone.
使者以沉闷的语气说:“我尽力而为”。
“I’m sure nobody walks much faster than I do!”
“我相信没有人比我走得更快!”
“He can’t do that,” said the King, “or else he’ d have been here first.
国王说,“他不能这样做,否则他先到这里。
However, now you’ve got your breath, you may tell us what’s happened in the town.”
不过现在你喘了口气, “
“I’ll whisper it,” said the Messenger, putting his hands to his mouth in the shape of a trumpet, and stooping so as to get close to the King’s ear.
" 使者说: " 我会低声说: " 以小号的外形将手放在口上,并弯曲地靠近国王的耳朵。
Alice was sorry for this, as she wanted to hear the news too.
爱丽丝对此感到遗憾 因为她也想听到这个消息
However, instead of whispering, he simply shouted at the top of his voice, “They’re at it again!”
然而,他并没有轻声低语,只是高喊“他们又在喊了!”
“Do you call that a whisper?”
难道你们称之为耳语吗? “
cried the poor King, jumping up and shaking himself.
哭出可怜的国王,跳起身来自摇.
“If you do such a thing again, I’ll have you buttered!
“如果你再这样做,我就会给你抹黄油!
It went through and through my head like an earthquake!”
它像地震一样穿过我的头!”
“It would have to be a very tiny earthquake!”
“这一定是一场很小的地震!”
to ask.
问。
“Why, the Lion and the Unicorn, of course,” said the King.
国王说,“狮子和独角兽当然是为什么”。
“Fighting for the crown?”
“争夺王冠? “
“Yes, to be sure,” said the King: “and the best of the joke is, that it’s my crown all the while!
"是的,当然,"国王说道:"最好的笑话是,这始终是我的王冠!
Let’s run and see them.”
让我们跑去看看他们。 “
And they trotted off, Alice repeating to herself, as she ran, the words of the old song: “The Lion and the Unicorn were fighting for the crown: The Lion beat the Unicorn all round the town.
他们走开,爱丽丝在跑步时向自己重复了"老歌"中的话:"狮子和独角兽在为王冠而战:狮子在全镇上打败了独角兽.
Some gave them white bread, some gave them brown; Some gave them plum-cake and drummed them out of town.
有些人给他们白面包,有些人给他们棕色; 有人给他们梅花蛋糕并打出城来.
“Does—the one—that wins—get the crown?”
胜者获得宝冠吗? “
putting her quite out of breath.
让她喘不过气来
“Dear me, no!”
“亲爱的,不要!”
said the King.
说王曰.
“What an idea!”
”这主意真妙!”
“Would you—be good enough,” Alice panted out, after running a little further, “to stop a minute—just to get—one’s breath again?”
爱丽丝在跑得更远一点后, “停下来一分钟, “
“I’m good enough,” the King said, “only I’m not strong enough.
国王说:“我足够好,
You see, a minute goes by so fearfully quick.
你看,一分钟走得这么快。
You might as well try to stop a Bandersnatch!”
你最好试着阻止班德纳克 “
Alice had no more breath for talking, so they trotted on in silence, till they came in sight of a great crowd, in the middle of which the Lion and Unicorn were fighting.
爱丽丝没有更多的呼吸说话,所以他们默默地走去,直到看到一大批人,中间是狮子和独角兽相争.
They were in such a cloud of dust, that at first Alice could not make out which was which: but she soon managed to distinguish the Unicorn by his horn.
他们身处一团尘埃中,一开始爱丽丝无法分辨出哪一个是:但她很快用他的号角辨别出独角兽.
They placed themselves close to where Hatta, the other Messenger, was standing watching the fight, with a cup of tea in one hand and a piece of bread-and-butter in the other.
他们将自己安置在另一个使者哈塔站在那里观看战斗,一只手拿着一杯咖啡,另一只手拿着一块面包和布特.
“He’s only just out of prison, and he hadn’t finished his tea when he was sent in,” Haigha whispered to Alice: “and they only give them oyster-shells in there—so you see he’s very hungry and thirsty.
Haigha悄悄地对Alice说:“他们只给他们吃牡蛎壳,
How are you, dear child?”
你好吗,亲爱的孩子? “
Hatta’s neck.
哈塔的颈部。
Hatta looked round and nodded, and went on with his bread-and-butter.
哈塔看了四周并点了点头,继续用他的面包和布特.
“Were you happy in prison, dear child?”
“亲爱的孩子,你在监狱里快乐吗? “
said Haigha.
说海伽.
Hatta looked round once more, and this time a tear or two trickled down his cheek: but not a word would he say.
哈塔再次环顾四周,这次一两眼泪从他的脸颊上流下:但他不会说一句话。
“Speak, can’t you!”
「说吧,
Haigha cried impatiently.
海加不耐烦地哭了。
But Hatta only munched away, and drank some more tea.
但是哈塔只消磨了一下 然后又喝了点茶
“Speak, won’t you!”
「说吧,
cried the King.
哭泣的国王。
“How are they getting on with the fight?”
“战斗进展如何? “
Hatta made a desperate effort, and swallowed a large piece of bread-and-butter.
哈塔拼命地努力,吞下一大笔面包和布特.
“They’re getting on very well,” he said in a choking voice: “each of them has been down about eighty-seven times.”
" 他们进展很好, " 他用一个窒息的声音说道: " 他们每人跌倒了大约87次。 “
“Then I suppose they’ll soon bring the white bread and the brown?”
“那么我猜他们很快就会带来白面包和棕色的? “
Alice ventured to remark.
爱丽丝大胆地说。
“It’s waiting for ’em now,” said Hatta: “this is a bit of it as I’m eating.”
Hatta说:“我吃东西的时候, “
There was a pause in the fight just then, and the Lion and the Unicorn sat down, panting, while the King called out, “Ten minutes allowed for refreshments!”
刚才的战斗中暂停了一段时间,狮子和独角兽坐下来,喘了口气,而国王却喊道,“10分钟允许吃点心!”
Haigha and Hatta set to work at once, carrying rough trays of white and brown bread.
Haigha和Hatta马上开始工作,携带着粗糙的白和棕色面包盘.
Alice took a piece to taste, but it was very dry.
爱丽丝用一块去品尝,但很干燥.
“I don’t think they’ll fight any more today,” the King said to Hatta: “go and order the drums to begin.”
国王对Hatta说:「去命令鼓声开始。 “
And Hatta went bounding away like a grasshopper.
哈塔像一头hopper一样被捆住
For a minute or two Alice stood silent, watching him.
爱丽丝静静地看着他
Suddenly she brightened up.
突然她亮了起来。
“Look, look!”
"看啊,看啊!" (笑声)
she cried, pointing eagerly.
她哭着急切地指着她
“There’s the White Queen running across the country!
" 有白后跑来跑去!
She came flying out of the wood over yonder—How fast those Queens can run!”
她从树林里飞出来 这些皇后能跑多快!”
“There’s some enemy after her, no doubt,” the King said, without even looking round.
国王说,“毫无疑问,在她之后有敌人”。
“That wood’s full of them.”
" 那木头里到处都是他们。 “
“But aren’t you going to run and help her?”
" 但你不跑去帮她吗? “
Alice asked, very much surprised at his taking it so quietly.
爱丽丝问,非常惊讶 他这么安静地服用它。
“No use, no use!”
“没有用,没有用!”
said the King.
说王曰.
“She runs so fearfully quick.
“她跑得这么快。
You might as well try to catch a Bandersnatch!
你还是去抓个班德纳克吧!
But I’ll make a memorandum about her, if you like—She’s a dear good creature,” he repeated softly to himself, as he opened his memorandum-book.
但我会做一个备忘录 关于她,如果你喜欢... 她是一个非常优秀的生物,
“Do you spell ‘creature’ with a double ‘e’?”
" 你用双"e"来拼出"生"? “
At this moment the Unicorn sauntered by them, with his hands in his pockets.
此时独角兽被他们所嘲弄 他的手被塞入口袋
“I had the best of it this time?”
“这次我有最好的选择吗? “
he said to the King, just glancing at him as he passed.
他对国王说,只是闪闪发光地看着他
“ A little—a little,” the King replied, rather nervously.
国王回答说, " 有一点 -- -- 有一点, " 相当紧张。
“You shouldn’t have run him through with your horn, you know.”
“你不应该用你的号角来操纵他。 “
“It didn’t hurt him,” the Unicorn said carelessly, and he was going on, when his eye happened to fall upon Alice: he turned round rather instantly, and stood for some time looking at her with an air of the deepest disgust.
独角兽不小心地说, 当他的眼睛恰好落在爱丽丝身上时,
“What—is—this?”
" 这是什么? “
he said at last.
他终于说了
“This is a child!”
“这是个孩子!”
Haigha replied eagerly, coming in front of Alice to introduce her, and spreading out both his hands towards her in an Anglo-Saxon attitude.
海加急切地回答,来到爱丽丝面前介绍她,并用盎格鲁-撒克逊的态度向她放出双手.
“We only found it today.
“我们今天才找到它。
It’s as large as life, and twice as natural!”
与生命一样大,
“I always thought they were fabulous monsters!”
“我一直认为它们是奇妙的怪物! “
said the Unicorn.
说独角兽。
“Is it alive?”
“它还活着吗? “
“It can talk,” said Haigha, solemnly.
Haigha说,“它可以说话,”庄严地说。
The Unicorn looked dreamily at Alice, and said, “Talk, child.”
独角兽梦寐以求地看着爱丽丝,并说:“说话,孩子。 “
Alice could not help her lips curling up into a smile as she began: “Do you know, I always thought Unicorns were fabulous monsters, too!
爱丽丝不能帮助她的嘴唇 卷起微笑,她开始: “你知道吗,我一直认为独角兽也是神奇的怪物!
I never saw one alive before!”
我从来没有见过活着的人!”
“Well, now that we have seen each other,” said the Unicorn, “if you’ll believe in me, I’ll believe in you.
独角兽说:「既然我们见过面,
Is that a bargain?”
这是讨价还价吗? “
“Yes, if you like,” said Alice.
爱丽丝说:“是的,如果你愿意,”
“Come, fetch out the plum-cake, old man!”
"来吧,拿出梅花蛋糕,老家伙!"
the Unicorn went on, turning from her to the King.
独角兽继续 从她转向了国王
“None of your brown bread for me!”
"你一个棕色面包都没有给我! “
“Certainly—certainly!”
" 当然! "
the King muttered, and beckoned to Haigha.
国王变哑了,向海加乞讨。
“Open the bag!”
“打开袋子!”
he whispered.
他悄悄地说
“Quick!
“快点!
Not that one—that’s full of hay!”
不是那个,那是满是干草!
Haigha took a large cake out of the bag, and gave it to Alice to hold, while he got out a dish and carving-knife.
海格哈从包里取出一个大蛋糕,交给了爱丽丝来抱住,而他却取出一盘菜和雕刻刀.
How they all came out of it Alice couldn’t guess.
爱丽丝无法猜测,
It was just like a conjuring- trick, she thought.
她觉得这就像个骗局
The Lion had joined them while this was going on: he looked very tired and sleepy, and his eyes were half shut.
狮子在这件事发生时加入了他们:他看起来非常疲惫和困闷,他的眼睛是半闭的.
“What’s this!”
“这是什么!”
he said, blinking lazily at Alice, and speaking in a deep hollow tone that sounded like the tolling of a great bell.
他说,对爱丽丝轻轻地眨眼, 说话的语气很空洞, 听起来像一个巨大的钟声。
“ Ah, what is it, now?”
“...... 啊,这是什么? “
the Unicorn cried eagerly.
独角兽急切地哭泣
“You’ll never guess!
" 你永远不会猜到!
I couldn’t.”
我做不到, “
The Lion looked at Alice wearily.
狮子会看着爱丽丝
“ Are you animal—vegetable—or mineral?”
“...... 你们是动物、蔬菜还是矿物? “
he said, yawning at every other word.
他说,打哈欠 在每一个字。
“It’s a fabulous monster!”
”它是一个神奇的怪物!
the Unicorn cried out, before Alice could reply.
独角兽在爱丽丝回复之前大喊大叫
“Then hand round the plum-cake, Monster,” the Lion said, lying down and putting his chin on his paws.
狮子说,“然后用手围住梅花蛋糕,怪兽”。
“ And sit down, both of you” (to the King and the Unicorn): “fair play with the cake, you know!”
“...... 你们都请坐吧! “
The King was evidently very uncomfortable at having to sit down between the two great creatures; but there was no other place for him.
国王显然非常不舒服,不得不坐在两个伟大的生物之间;但是他没有别的地方了.
“What a fight we might have for the crown, now!”
“现在,我们可能为王冠而战。 “
the Unicorn said, looking slyly up at the crown, which the poor King was nearly shaking off his head, he trembled so much.
独角兽说, 看着狡猾地上 在王冠上, 可怜的国王 几乎摇起头来, 他很害怕这么多。
“I should win easy,” said the Lion.
狮子说,“我应该轻松获胜。”
“I’m not so sure of that,” said the Unicorn.
独角兽说,
“Why, I beat you all round the town, you chicken!”
"为什么,我打败了你们,你们这些胆小鬼!"
the Lion replied angrily, half getting up as he spoke.
狮子愤怒地回答, 一半起床的时候,他说话。
Here the King interrupted, to prevent the quarrel going on: he was very nervous, and his voice quite quivered.
国王打断了这场争吵 为了防止争吵的发生 他非常紧张 他的声音非常颤抖
“ All round the town?”
“...... 整个镇子? “
he said.
他说。
“That’s a good long way.
“这是一条很长的路。
Did you go by the old bridge, or the market-place?
你去过老桥还是市场?
You get the best view by the old bridge.”
你从老桥边得到最好的景色 “
“I’m sure I don’t know,” the Lion growled out as he lay down again.
狮子再次倒地时,
“There was too much dust to see anything.
“太多的灰尘看不到任何东西。
What a time the Monster is, cutting up that cake!”
怪兽现在在切蛋糕!”
Alice had seated herself on the bank of a little brook, with the great dish on her knees, and was sawing away diligently with the knife.
爱丽丝坐在小溪岸上 膝盖上盛放着伟大的菜肴 并用刀刻苦锯去
“It’s very provoking!”
“这非常引人入胜!”
she said, in reply to the Lion (she was getting quite used to being called “the Monster”).
她说,在回答"狮子"时(她已经习惯了被称为"怪物").
“I’ve cut several slices already, but they always join on again!”
我已切了几片, “
“You don’t know how to manage Looking- glass cakes,” the Unicorn remarked.
独角兽说,
“Hand it round first, and cut it afterwards.”
“先把它包起来,然后把它切开。 “
This sounded nonsense, but Alice very obediently got up, and carried the dish round, and the cake divided itself into three pieces as she did so.
这听起来很无稽之谈,但爱丽丝非常听话地起身,并背起盘子一圈来,蛋糕也像她那样将自己分成了三块.
“Now cut it up,” said the Lion, as she returned to her place with the empty dish.
狮子说,“现在把它切开”,当她带着空盘子回到自己家时。
“I say, this isn’t fair!”
「我说,
cried the Unicorn, as Alice sat with the knife in her hand, very much puzzled how to begin.
哭着独角兽,当爱丽丝坐在她手中拿着刀子,非常困惑如何开始.
“The Monster has given the Lion twice as much as me!”
""魔兽给予狮子的比我多一倍! “
“She’s kept none for herself, anyhow,” said the Lion.
狮子会说,
“Do you like plum-cake, Monster?”
“你喜欢梅花蛋糕吗,怪物? “
But before Alice could answer him, the drums began.
但是在爱丽丝能够回答他之前,鼓声就开始了.
Where the noise came from, she couldn’t make out: the air seemed full of it, and it rang through and through her head till she felt quite deafened.
声音从何而来, 她无法自圆其说:空气似乎充满了它,
She started to her feet and sprang across the little brook in her terror, and had just time to see the Lion and the Unicorn rise to their feet, with angry looks at being interrupted in their feast, before she dropped to her knees, and put her hands over her ears, vainly trying to shut out the dreadful uproar.
她起起脚来,在恐怖中出走过小溪口,只得看到"狮子"和"独角兽"站起脚来,愤怒地看着他们的宴会被打断了,在她跪倒到膝下之前,把双手放在耳朵上,徒然地想把可怕的高音关上.
“If that doesn’t ‘drum them out of town,’” she thought to herself, “nothing ever will!”
“如果这不`驱赶他们出城',”她自己想,“没有什么会!”
