CHAPTER VIII.
第八章
“It’s My Own Invention” fter a while the noise seemed gradually to die away, till all was dead silence, and Alice lifted up her head in some alarm.
声音似乎渐渐消失, 直到一切寂静,
There was no one to be seen, and her first thought was that she must have been dreaming about the Lion and the Unicorn and those queer Anglo- Saxon Messengers.
她的第一个想法是 她一定是梦见了狮子和独角兽 还有那些同性恋的盎格鲁-撒克逊使者
There was the great dish still lying at her feet, on which she had tried to cut the plum-cake, “So I wasn’t dreaming, after all,” she said to herself, “unless—unless we’re all part of the same dream.
她的脚下还有一道大菜, 她曾试图切出梅花蛋糕, “所以我毕竟不是在做梦,
Only I do hope it’s my dream, and not the Red King’s!
我希望这是我的梦想,
I don’t like belonging to another person’s dream,” she went on in a rather complaining tone: “I’ve a great mind to go and wake him, and see what happens!”
我不太喜欢属于别人的梦想,
At this moment her thoughts were interrupted by a loud shouting of “ Ahoy!
此时此刻,她的思想被大声地喊出“Ahoy!
Ahoy!
唉哟!
Check!”
检查!”
and a Knight dressed in crimson armour came galloping down upon her, brandishing a great club.
穿着克林森盔甲的骑士 冲来冲去 挥舞着伟大的俱乐部
Just as he reached her, the horse stopped suddenly: “You’re my prisoner!”
就在他接近她的时候,马突然停了下来:"你是我的囚犯!"
the Knight cried, as he tumbled off his horse.
骑士哭了,当他从马上摔下来。
In Part 7 of Through the Looking-Glass, Alice witnesses a confrontation between a lion and a unicorn.
爱丽丝在"通视镜"第七部中见证了狮子和独角兽之间的对峙.
Startled as she was, Alice was more frightened for him than for herself at the moment, and watched him with some anxiety as he mounted again.
惊慌失措,爱丽丝对他比她现在更害怕,在再次上架时,他带着一些焦虑的心情看着他.
As soon as he was comfortably in the saddle, he began once more, “You’re my—” but here another voice broke in, “ Ahoy!
他一在马鞍上安心地开始,就又开始说:"你是我的了",但在这里又发出另一个声音:"啊!
Ahoy!
唉哟!
Check!”
检查!”
new enemy.
新的敌人。
This time it was a White Knight.
这次是白骑士
He drew up at Alice’s side, and tumbled off his horse just as the Red Knight had done: then he got on again, and the two Knights sat and looked at each other for some time without speaking.
他在爱丽丝一面作画,并一如"红骑士"所为地从马上倒下:然后他又上场了,两个"骑士"坐了一段时间,不说话地相视.
Alice looked from one to the other in some bewilderment.
爱丽丝从一个到另一个 在有些困惑。
“She’s my prisoner, you know!”
"她是我的囚犯,你知道的! “
the Red Knight said at last.
红骑士终于说了
“Yes, but then I came and rescued her!”
“是的,但后来我拯救了她!”
the White Knight replied.
白骑士回答。
“Well, we must fight for her, then,” said the Red Knight, as he took up his helmet (which hung from the saddle, and was something the shape of a horse’s head), and put it on.
" 那么,我们必须为她而战",红骑士说,当他拿起头盔(从马鞍上挂起,是一匹马的头部形状)并戴上了.
“You will observe the Rules of Battle, of course?”
“你们当然要遵守战斗规则? “
the White Knight remarked, putting on his helmet too.
白骑士说 戴上头盔
“I always do,” said the Red Knight, and they began banging away at each other with such fury that Alice got behind a tree to be out of the way of the blows.
红骑士说,“我总是这样”,他们开始用如此愤怒的怒火相打,让爱丽丝躲在一棵树后走出了被打的路。
“I wonder, now, what the Rules of Battle are,” she said to herself, as she watched the fight, timidly peeping out from her hiding-place: “one Rule seems to be, that if one Knight hits the other, he knocks him off his horse, and if he misses, he tumbles off himself—and another Rule seems to be that they hold their clubs with their arms, as if they were Punch and Judy—what a noise they make when they tumble!
“我不知道,现在,战斗规则是什么,”当她看着战斗时,她对自己说,“一个规则似乎是,如果一个骑士打倒另一个骑士,他打倒他一马;如果他打倒他,他就会自相残杀——另一个规则似乎是,他们用他们的手臂抱着他们的俱乐部,好象是Punch和Judy——当他们摔倒时,他们发出什么声音!
Just like a whole set of fire-irons falling into the fender!
就像一整组火铁掉进挡板!
And how quiet the horses are!
和多安静的马!
They let them get on and off them just as if they were tables!”
他们让他们上上下下上下上下上下上下下上下上下上下下上下上下上下上下下上下上下上下上下上下上下上下上下上下上下上下上下上下上下上下上下上下上下上下上下上下下上下上下上下上下上下上下上下上下上下上下上下下上下上下上下上下上下上下上下上下上下上下上下上下上下上下上下上下上下上下上下下上下上下上下上下下上下下下下上下下下下下下上下下上下上下下下下上下下上下下下下下下下下下下下下下下下下下下下下下下下下下下下下下下下下下下下下下下下下上下下下下下下下下下下下上下下下下下下下下下下下下下下下下下下下下下下下下下下下下下下下下 “
Another Rule of Battle, that Alice had not noticed, seemed to be that they always fell on their heads, and the battle ended with their both falling off in this way, side by side: when they got up again, they shook hands, and then the Red Knight mounted and galloped off.
爱丽丝没有注意到的"另一条战斗规则"似乎是他们总是倒在头上,而战斗以他们两人以这种方式相并而起而结束:当他们再次起立时,他们握起手来,而后红骑士上阵并出走.
“It was a glorious victory, wasn’t it?”
“这是一次光荣的胜利,不是吗? “
said the White Knight, as he came up panting.
白骑士说,当他喘起气来。
“I don’t know,” Alice said doubtfully.
“我不知道,”爱丽丝表示怀疑。
“I don’t want to be a prisoner.
“我不想成为囚犯。
I want to be a Queen.”
欲入为后. “
“So you will, when you’ve crossed the next brook,” said the White Knight.
白骑士说,
“I’ll see you safe to the end of the wood—and then I must go back, you know.
“我会看到你安全地走到木头尽头,
That’s the end of my move.”
我的行动到此结束。 “
“Thank you very much,” said Alice.
爱丽丝说,“非常感谢你。”
“May I help you off with your helmet?”
“我能帮你脱下头盔吗? “
It was evidently more than he could manage by himself; however, she managed to shake him out of it at last.
这显然超出了他自己所能应付的范围;然而,她终于设法将他从中动摇了出来。
“Now one can breathe more easily,” said the Knight, putting back his shaggy hair with both hands, and turning his gentle face and large mild eyes to Alice.
“现在人们可以轻松地呼吸了。” 骑士说,他用双手放回他发型粗糙的头发,并将他温柔的脸和大而温和的眼睛转向爱丽丝。
She thought she had never seen such a strange-looking soldier in all her life.
她认为她一生中从未见过这样奇怪的士兵.
He was dressed in tin armour, which seemed to fit him very badly, and he had a queer-shaped little deal box fastened across his shoulder, upside- down, and with the lid hanging open.
他身穿锡铁甲,看起来很适合他,他有一个基型的小交易箱被固定在肩膀上,倒挂起来,盖子被打开了.
Alice looked at it with great curiosity.
爱丽丝非常好奇地看着它
“I see you’re admiring my little box,” the Knight said in a friendly tone.
骑士以友好的口吻表示,
“It’s my own invention—to keep clothes and sandwiches in.
" 这是我自己的发明,
You see I carry it upside-down, so that the rain can’t get in.”
你看,我背着它倒行逆施,这样雨水就无法进入。 “
“But the things can get out,” Alice gently remarked.
爱丽丝轻而易举地说,
“Do you know the lid’s open?”
" 你知道盖子是开着的吗? “
“I didn’t know it,” the Knight said, a shade of vexation passing over his face.
“我不知道,”骑士说,
“Then all the things must have fallen out!
“那么,所有事情必定都掉下去了!
And the box is no use without them.”
没有他们,盒子是没用的 “
He unfastened it as he spoke, and was just going to throw it into the bushes, when a sudden thought seemed to strike him, and he hung it carefully on a tree.
他说话时把它解开,正打算把它扔入灌木丛中,当时突然想到他似乎被打倒了,他仔细地将它挂在一棵树上.
“Can you guess why I did that?”
“你能猜到我为什么这样做吗? “
he said to Alice.
他对爱丽丝说
Alice shook her head.
爱丽丝摇了头
“In hopes some bees may make a nest in it— then I should get the honey.”
“希望有些蜜蜂能在其中筑巢——然后我应该得到蜂蜜。 “
“But you’ve got a bee-hive—or something like one—fastened to the saddle,” said Alice.
爱丽丝说,“但你有一个蜂窝,或者像一只蜂一样的东西,快到了鞍上。”
“Yes, it’s a very good bee-hive,” the Knight said in a discontented tone, “one of the best kind.
骑士以不满的语气说,“这是最好的一种。
But not a single bee has come near it yet.
但还没有一只蜜蜂靠近它
And the other thing is a mouse-trap.
另一件事是老鼠陷阱。
I suppose the mice keep the bees out—or the bees keep the mice out, I don’t know which.”
我想老鼠会把蜜蜂挡在外面, “
“I was wondering what the mouse-trap was for,” said Alice.
爱丽丝说,“我在想鼠标陷阱是为了什么。”
“It isn’t very likely there would be any mice on the horse’s back.”
“马背上可能不会有老鼠。 “
“Not very likely, perhaps,” said the Knight: “but if they do come, I don’t choose to have them running all about.
“也许不太可能,”骑士说:“但是,如果他们来了,我并不选择让他们到处跑来跑去。
“You see,” he went on after a pause, “it’s as well to be provided for everything.
" 你看, " 他停下来说道, " 也是为了一切。
That’s the reason the horse has all those anklets round his feet.”
这也是马在脚上围着脚踝的原因。 “
“But what are they for?”
“但是,它们是为了什么? “
Alice asked in a tone of great curiosity.
爱丽丝很好奇地问起
“To guard against the bites of sharks,” the Knight replied.
“为了防止被鲨鱼咬伤”,骑士回答说。
“It’s an invention of my own.
“这是我自己的发明。
And now help me on.
现在帮我
I’ll go with you to the end of the wood—what’s the dish for?”
我会和你们一起到木头尽头, “
“It’s meant for plum-cake,” said Alice.
爱丽丝说,
“We’ d better take it with us,” the Knight said.
骑士说,
“It’ll come in handy if we find any plum-cake.
如果能找到梅花蛋糕,
Help me to get it into this bag.”
帮我把它放进袋子里 “
This took a very long time to manage, though Alice held the bag open very carefully, because the Knight was so very awkward in putting in the dish: the first two or three times that he tried he fell in himself instead.
这花了很长的时间来管理,虽然爱丽丝把包打开时非常小心,因为骑士在放入菜肴时非常尴尬:前两三次他尝试自己倒下取而代之.
“It’s rather a tight fit, you see,” he said, as they got it in at last.
“你瞧,这是很紧的合身。 ”他说,他们终于得到了它。
“There are so many candlesticks in the bag.”
“袋子里有这么多蜡烛。 “
And he hung it to the saddle, which was already loaded with bunches of carrots, and fire-irons, and many other things.
他把它挂到马鞍上,它已经装满了一堆胡萝卜,火铁等许多东西.
“I hope you’ve got your hair well fastened on?”
“我希望你把头发扎好, “
he continued, as they set off.
他继续,当他们出发。
“Only in the usual way,” Alice said, smiling.
爱丽丝说,“只有以通常的方式,”微笑。
“That’s hardly enough,” he said, anxiously.
他说:“这还不够,
“You see the wind is so very strong here.
“你看这里的风很强。
It’s as strong as soup.”
坚如汤. “
“Have you invented a plan for keeping the hair from being blown off?”
“你是否发明了防止被吹掉头发的计划? “
Alice enquired.
爱丽丝问。
“Not yet,” said the Knight.
骑士说,“还没有,”
“But I’ve got a plan for keeping it from falling off.”
但我有计划防止坠落。 “
“I should like to hear it, very much.”
“我非常想听。 “
“First you take an upright stick,” said the Knight.
骑士说,“首先你拿起一根直立的棍子。”
“Then you make your hair creep up it, like a fruit-tree.
“然后使你的头发像一棵果树一样爬上它。
Now the reason hair falls off is because it hangs down—things never fall upwards, you know.
头发掉下来是因为它挂了下来 东西从不向上掉下来
It’s a plan of my own invention.
这是我自己发明的计划。
You may try it if you like.”
你可以试试看 “
It didn’t sound a comfortable plan, Alice thought, and for a few minutes she walked on in silence, puzzling over the idea, and every now and then stopping to help the poor Knight, who certainly was not a good rider.
爱丽丝认为这听起来并不舒适, 几分钟来她默默地走来走去, 对这个想法感到困惑,
Whenever the horse stopped (which it did very often), he fell off in front; and whenever it went on again (which it generally did rather suddenly), he fell off behind.
每当马停了下来(它经常这样做),他就从前面掉下来;每当马又继续了(它一般都是突然这样做),他就从后面掉下来了.
Otherwise he kept on pretty well, except that he had a habit of now and then falling off sideways; and as he generally did this on the side on which Alice was walking, she soon found that it was the best plan not to walk quite close to the horse.
否则他一直保持相当好,只是他现在有习惯,然后从边上掉下来;而且由于他一般在爱丽丝所行走的一面这样做,她很快发现,这是不走得和马相当接近的最佳计划.
“I’m afraid you’ve not had much practice in riding,” she ventured to say, as she was helping him up from his fifth tumble.
她冒昧地说, " 我恐怕你没有多少骑马的练习 " ,因为她正在帮助他摆脱他的第五次摔倒。
The Knight looked very much surprised, and a little offended at the remark.
骑士看起来非常出人意料,对这句话有些冒犯.
“What makes you say that?”
“为什么这么说? “
he asked, as he scrambled back into the saddle, keeping hold of Alice’s hair with one hand, to save himself from falling over on the other side.
他要求,当他跑回马鞍里时,用一只手控制着爱丽丝的头发,以免自己掉到另一边去。
“Because people don’t fall off quite so often, when they’ve had much practice.”
“因为人们不会经常在做很多事的时候掉下来。 “
“I’ve had plenty of practice,” the Knight said very gravely: “plenty of practice!”
「我有很多练习,
Alice could think of nothing better to say than “Indeed?”
爱丽丝想不出比“确实?” “
but she said it as heartily as she could.
但是她也尽心尽力地说了
They went on a little way in silence after this, the Knight with his eyes shut, muttering to himself, and Alice watching anxiously for the next tumble.
他们在这之后默默地走入了一段小路,骑士闭上了眼睛,对着自己胡言乱语,爱丽丝焦急地注视着接下来的倒下.
Here the sentence ended as suddenly as it had begun, as the Knight fell heavily on the top of his head exactly in the path where Alice was walking.
这句话在这里与开始的一样突然结束,因为骑士在爱丽丝正行走的路上严重地倒在了头顶.
She said in an anxious tone as she picked him up, “I hope no bones are broken?”
她带着焦急的语气说:“我希望没有骨折? “
“None to speak of,” the Knight said, as if he didn’t mind breaking two or three of them.
Knight说:「没有人可以说,
“The great art of riding, as I was saying, is—to keep your balance properly.
“正如我所说的,骑马的伟大艺术是——保持你的平衡。
Like this, you know—” He let go the bridle, and stretched out both his arms to show Alice what he meant, and this time he fell flat on his back, right under the horse’s feet.
像这样,你知道..." 他放开了绳子,伸出双臂向爱丽丝展示他的意思,这次他平地倒在了背上,就在马脚下.
“Plenty of practice!”
“经验丰富!”
he went on repeating, all the time that Alice was getting him on his feet again.
他不停地重复 爱丽丝又让他站起来了
“Plenty of practice!”
“经验丰富!”
“It’s too ridiculous!”
「太荒谬了!
cried Alice, losing all her patience this time.
哭了爱丽丝,这次失去了所有的耐心。
“You ought to have a wooden horse on wheels, that you ought!”
“你应该有一匹木马,
“Does that kind go smoothly?”
“这种活动是否顺利? “
the Knight asked in a tone of great interest, clasping his arms round the horse’s neck as he spoke, just in time to save himself from tumbling off again.
骑士以极具兴趣的语气问起,他一说话就把手臂围住马的脖子,恰好及时救了自己,以免再被摔倒.
“Much more smoothly than a live horse,” Alice said, with a little scream of laughter, in spite of all she could do to prevent it.
爱丽丝说,“比活生生的一匹马更顺利”,尽管她可以尽力防止这种笑声。
“I’ll get one,” the Knight said thoughtfully to himself.
「我会得到一个,
“One or two—several.”
" 一、二 -- -- 几个。 “
There was a short silence after this, and then the Knight went on again.
之后出现了短暂的沉默,而后骑士又继续前进.
“I’m a great hand at inventing things.
“我是发明事物的好手。
Now, I daresay you noticed, that last time you picked me up, that I was looking rather thoughtful?”
现在,我敢说,你注意到, 你上次接我的时候, 我看起来相当周到? “
“You were a little grave,” said Alice.
爱丽丝说,“你是一个小坟墓。”
“Well, just then I was inventing a new way of getting over a gate—would you like to hear it?”
" 嗯,刚才我发明了一个新的方法,通过一个大门——你想听吗? “
“Very much indeed,” Alice said politely.
爱丽丝很有礼貌地说,
“I’ll tell you how I came to think of it,” said the Knight.
骑士说,
“You see, I said to myself, ‘The only difficulty is with the feet: the head is high enough already.’
“你看,我对自己说:`只有脚有困难:头已经够高了。 " ; "
Now, first I put my head on the top of the gate—then I stand on my head—then the feet are high enough, you see—then I’m over, you see.”
现在,首先,我把我的头放在大门上方,然后我站在我的头上,然后脚就足够高了,你看,然后我就结束了,你看。 “
“Yes, I suppose you’ d be over when that was done,” Alice said thoughtfully: “but don’t you think it would be rather hard?”
爱丽丝深思熟虑地说:“但你不觉得这样会很困难吗? “
“I haven’t tried it yet,” the Knight said, gravely: “so I can’t tell for certain—but I’m afraid it would be a little hard.”
“我还没有尝试过,”这位骑士严肃地说,“所以我不能肯定地说, “
He looked so vexed at the idea, that Alice changed the subject hastily.
爱丽丝匆匆地改变了话题 他对这个想法很不满
“What a curious helmet you’ve got!”
“你戴了多么奇怪的头盔!”
she said cheerfully.
她说很高兴。
“Is that your invention too?”
“这也是你的发明吗? “
The Knight looked down proudly at his helmet, which hung from the saddle.
骑士自豪地俯视着从鞍上吊起的头盔.
“Yes,” he said, “but I’ve invented a better one than that— like a sugar loaf.
“是的,”他说,“但我发明了一个比这个更好的方法——就像一个糖叶。
When I used to wear it, if I fell off the horse, it always touched the ground directly.
以前穿去后,如果从马上掉下来,它总是会直接地触地.
So I had a very little way to fall, you see—but there was the danger of falling into it, to be sure.
所以我有一个非常小的方法 摔倒,你看—— 但有 掉入的危险,这是肯定的。
That happened to me once—and the worst of it was, before I could get out again, the other White Knight came and put it on.
这曾经发生在我身上—— 最糟糕的是, 在我再次出狱之前, 另一个白骑士来了并穿上了它。
He thought it was his own helmet.”
他以为那是他自己戴的头盔 “
The Knight looked so solemn about it that Alice did not dare to laugh.
骑士对此如此庄严,以至于爱丽丝不敢取笑.
“I’m afraid you must have hurt him,” she said in a trembling voice, “being on the top of his head.”
“恐怕你一定伤害了他,”她用颤抖的声音说,“在他头上。 “
“I had to kick him, of course,” the Knight said, very seriously.
当然,“我不得不踢他”,骑士说,非常认真。
“ And then he took the helmet off again—but it took hours and hours to get me out.
“...... 然后他又把头盔脱了 花了好几个小时才把我弄出来
I was as fast as—as lightning, you know.”
我和闪电一样快 “
“But that’s a different kind of fastness,” Alice objected.
爱丽丝反对,
The Knight shook his head.
骑士摇出头来.
“It was all kinds of fastness with me, I can assure you!”
“我向你保证,这是各种快活! “
he said.
他说。
He raised his hands in some excitement as he said this, and instantly rolled out of the saddle, and fell headlong into a deep ditch.
他激动地举起手来说这话,立刻从马鞍上滚出,一头倒入了深沟.
Alice ran to the side of the ditch to look for him.
爱丽丝跑到沟边去找他.
She was rather startled by the fall, as for some time he had kept on very well, and she was afraid that he really was hurt this time.
她对秋天相当吃惊,因为有一段时间他一直保持很好,她担心这次他真的受伤了.
However, though she could see nothing but the soles of his feet, she was much relieved to hear that he was talking on in his usual tone.
然而,虽然她只能看他的脚底,但听到他用他通常的语气说话,她感到非常放心。
“ All kinds of fastness,” he repeated: “but it was careless of him to put another man’s helmet on—with the man in it, too.”
“...... 他重复说: " 但是,他不小心把另一个人的头盔戴上,里面也有这个人。 “
“How can you go on talking so quietly, head downwards?”
“你们怎么能够悄悄地说话,朝下低头? “
Alice asked, as she dragged him out by the feet, and laid him in a heap on the bank.
爱丽丝问,当她拖出他的脚, 并把他放在一堆 在银行。
The Knight looked surprised at the question.
骑士们对问题感到惊讶.
“What does it matter where my body happens to be?”
“我的身体在哪里有什么关系? “
he said.
他说。
“My mind goes on working all the same.
“我仍继续工作。
In fact, the more head downwards I am, the more I keep inventing new things.”
事实上,我越低头,我就越不断发明新的东西。 “
“Now the cleverest thing of the sort that I ever did,” he went on after a pause, “was inventing a new pudding during the meat-course.”
“现在是我做过的最聪明的事情,”他在暂停之后继续说,“在肉道上发明了新的布丁。 “
“In time to have it cooked for the next course?”
“为下个课程做饭的时候? “
said Alice.
说爱丽丝。
“Well, not the next course,” the Knight said in a slow thoughtful tone: “no, certainly not the next course.”
骑士以缓慢的深思熟虑的语气说:“不,当然不是下一个。 “
“Then it would have to be the next day.
“那么,必须在第二天。
I suppose you wouldn’t have two pudding-courses in one dinner?”
我想你不会吃两道布丁? “
“Well, not the next day,” the Knight repeated as before.
“嗯,不是第二天,”骑士像以前那样重复。
“In fact,” he went on, holding his head down, and his voice getting lower and lower, “I don’t believe that pudding ever was cooked!
“事实上,”他继续说起,低头低头,他的声音越来越低,“我不相信布丁被煮过!
In fact, I don’t believe that pudding ever will be cooked!
事实上,
And yet it was a very clever pudding to invent.”
然而它是一个非常聪明的布丁 发明。 “
“What did you mean it to be made of?”
“你这是用什么制造的? “
Alice asked, hoping to cheer him up, for the poor Knight seemed quite low-spirited about it.
爱丽丝问起,希望让他高兴起来,因为可怜的骑士对此似乎相当低调.
“It began with blotting paper,” the Knight answered with a groan.
骑士用呻吟来回答,
“That wouldn’t be very nice, I’m afraid—” “Not very nice alone,” he interrupted, quite eagerly: “but you’ve no idea what a difference it makes mixing it with other things—such as gunpowder and sealing-wax.
“恐怕这不会很好。 ”“不怎么好,
And here I must leave you.”
我必须离开你 “
They had just come to the end of the wood.
他们刚到木头的尽头
Alice could only look puzzled: she was thinking of the pudding.
爱丽丝看起来很迷惑:她在想布丁.
“You are sad,” the Knight said in an anxious tone: “let me sing you a song to comfort you.”
骑士以焦急的语气说:“让我唱一首歌来安慰你。 “
“Is it very long?”
“时间很长吗? “
Alice asked, for she had heard a good deal of poetry that day.
爱丽丝问, 因为那天她听了很多诗
“It’s long,” said the Knight, “but very, very beautiful.
“很长,”骑士说,“但是非常,非常美丽。
Everybody that hears me sing it—either it brings the tears into their eyes, or else—” “Or else what?”
听到我唱歌的每一个人——要么把眼泪带入他们的眼睛,要么” “不然怎么办? “
said Alice, for the Knight had made a sudden pause.
爱丽丝说 因为骑士突然暂停了
“Or else it doesn’t, you know.
“不然,
The name of the song is called ‘Haddocks’ Eyes.’
歌曲名称取自"哈多克之眼". " ; "
“Oh, that’s the name of the song, is it?”
"哦,这就是这首歌的名字,是吗? “
Alice said, trying to feel interested.
爱丽丝说,试图感到兴趣。
“No, you don’t understand,” the Knight said, looking a little vexed.
「不,你不明白,」骑士说,
“That’s what the name is called.
" 这就是这个名字的名称.
The name really is ‘The Aged Aged Man.’
名字其实是:"老人". " ; "
“Then I ought to have said, ‘That’s what the song is called’?”
" 那么,我应该说,`这就是这首歌的名称? ' “
Alice corrected herself.
爱丽丝纠正了自己
“No, you oughtn’t: that’s quite another thing!
" 不,你不应该:这是另一回事。
The song is called ‘Ways and Means’: but that’s only what it’s called, you know!”
这首歌被称作"Ways and Meas":但这只是它所谓的"你知道! “
“Well, what is the song, then?”
“那么,这首歌是什么? “
said Alice, who was by this time completely bewildered.
爱丽丝说,到这个时候,她已经完全糊涂了。
“I was coming to that,” the Knight said.
骑士说,“我是来做这件事的。”
“The song really is ‘ A-sitting On a Gate’: and the tune’s my own invention.”
" 这首歌的确是 " A-Sitting on a Gate " :这首曲子是我自己的发明。 “
So saying, he stopped his horse and let the reins fall on its neck: then, slowly beating time with one hand, and with a faint smile lighting up his gentle foolish face, as if he enjoyed the music of his song, he began.
所以说,他拦住他的马而让绳子倒在了它的脖子上:然后,用一只手慢慢地打出时间来,用微弱的微笑点亮他温柔的愚蠢相貌,仿佛他喜欢他歌曲的音乐,他开始了.
Of all the strange things that Alice saw in her journey through the Looking-glass, this was the one that she always remembered most clearly.
爱丽丝在穿越"望镜"的旅程中看到的所有奇怪的事情中,这是她一直最清楚地记得的.
Years afterwards she could bring the whole scene back again, as if it had been only yesterday—the mild blue eyes and kindly smile of the Knight— the setting sun gleaming through his hair, and shining on his armour in a blaze of light that quite dazzled her—the horse quietly moving about, with the reins hanging loose on his neck, cropping the grass at her feet—and the black shadows of the forest behind—all this she took in like a picture, as, with one hand shading her eyes, she leant against a tree, watching the strange pair, and listening, in a half dream, to the melancholy music of the song.
