if
I'm
Mabel
,
如果我是梅布尔，
I'll
stay
down
here
!
我就留在这里！
It'll
be
no
use
their
putting
their
heads
down
and
saying
'
Come
up
again
,
他们低下头说“再上来吧”是没有用的，
dear
!
'
亲爱的！'
I
shall
only
look
up
and
say
'
Who
am
I
then
?
我只会抬头问自己‘我是谁？
Tell
me
that
first
,
先告诉我，
and
then
,
进而，
if
I
like
being
that
person
,
如果我喜欢成为那样的人，
I'll
come
up
:
我来说说：
if
not
,
如果不，
I'll
stay
down
here
till
I'm
somebody
else
'
—
but
,
我会留在这里，直到我变成另一个人——但是，
oh
dear
!
”
哦亲爱的！”
cried
Alice
,
爱丽丝喊道，
with
a
sudden
burst
of
tears
,
突然泪流满面，
“
I
do
wish
they
would
put
their
heads
down
!
“我真希望他们能低下头来！
I
am
so
very
tired
of
being
all
alone
here
!
”
我一个人待在这里真的太累了！”
As
she
said
this
she
looked
down
at
her
hands
,
当她说完这句话时，她低头看着自己的双手，
and
was
surprised
to
see
that
she
had
put
on
one
of
the
Rabbit's
little
white
kid
gloves
while
she
was
talking
.
并惊讶地发现她在说话时戴上了兔子的一只小白羊皮手套。
“
How
can
I
have
done
that
?
”
“我怎么能做出这种事呢？”
she
thought
.
她想。
“
I
must
be
growing
small
again
.
”
“我肯定又变小了。”
She
got
up
and
went
to
the
table
to
measure
herself
by
it
,
她站起来，走到桌边，量了量自己的体重，
and
found
that
,
并发现，
as
nearly
as
she
could
guess
,
正如她所猜测的，
she
was
now
about
two
feet
high
,
她现在大约有两英尺高，
and
was
going
on
shrinking
rapidly
:
并且正在迅速缩小：
she
soon
found
out
that
the
cause
of
this
was
the
fan
she
was
holding
,
她很快就发现，造成这种情况的原因是她手里拿着的那把扇子，
and
she
dropped
it
hastily
,
她赶紧把它扔了，
just
in
time
to
avoid
shrinking
away
altogether
.
正好避免了彻底萎缩。
“
That
was
a
narrow
escape
!
”
“真是死里逃生！”
said
Alice
,
爱丽丝说，
a
good
deal
frightened
at
the
sudden
change
,
因这突如其来的变化而感到十分害怕，
but
very
glad
to
find
herself
still
in
existence
;
但很高兴发现自己还活着；
“
and
now
for
the
garden
!
”
“现在去花园！”
and
she
ran
with
all
speed
back
to
the
little
door
:
她飞快地跑回小门：
but
,
但，
alas
!
唉！
the
little
door
was
shut
again
,
小门又关上了，
and
the
little
golden
key
was
lying
on
the
glass
table
as
before
,
而那把小金钥匙依然放在玻璃桌上，
“
and
things
are
worse
than
ever
,
”
“情况比以前更糟了。”
thought
the
poor
child
,
可怜的孩子想，
“
for
I
never
was
so
small
as
this
before
,
“因为我从来没有这么小过，
never
!
绝不！
And
I
declare
it's
too
bad
,
我说这太糟糕了，
that
it
is
!
”
就是这样！
As
she
said
these
words
her
foot
slipped
,
当她说完这些话时，她的脚滑了一下，
and
in
another
moment
,
而下一刻，
splash
!
溅！
she
was
up
to
her
chin
in
salt
water
.
她的下巴浸在盐水里。
Her
first
idea
was
that
she
had
somehow
fallen
into
the
sea
,
她首先想到的是，她不知怎么掉进了海里，
“
and
in
that
case
I
can
go
back
by
railway
,
”
“这样的话，我可以坐火车回去。”
she
said
to
herself
.
她对自己说。
(
Alice
had
been
to
the
seaside
once
in
her
life
,
（爱丽丝一生中曾去过一次海边，
and
had
come
to
the
general
conclusion
,
并得出了普遍的结论，
that
wherever
you
go
to
on
the
English
coast
you
find
a
number
of
bathing
machines
in
the
sea
,
无论你去英国海岸的哪个地方，你都会发现海里有许多游泳机，
some
children
digging
in
the
sand
with
wooden
spades
,
一些孩子用木铲在沙子里挖，
then
a
row
of
lodging
houses
,
然后是一排寄宿房屋，
and
behind
them
a
railway
station
.
)
后面有一个火车站。）
However
,
然而，
she
soon
made
out
that
she
was
in
the
pool
of
tears
which
she
had
wept
when
she
was
nine
feet
high
.
她很快就意识到，自己正躺在九英尺高时哭过的泪水潭里。
“
I
wish
I
hadn't
cried
so
much
!
”
“我希望我没有哭得那么厉害！”
said
Alice
,
爱丽丝说，
as
she
swam
about
,
当她游来游去时，
trying
to
find
her
way
out
.
试图找到出路。
“
I
shall
be
punished
for
it
now
,
“我现在要受到惩罚，
I
suppose
,
我想，
by
being
drowned
in
my
own
tears
!
被自己的泪水淹没！
That
will
be
a
queer
thing
,
那将是一件奇怪的事，
to
be
sure
!
当然！
However
,
然而，
everything
is
queer
to
-
day
.
”
今天一切都很奇怪。”
Just
then
she
heard
something
splashing
about
in
the
pool
a
little
way
off
,
就在这时，她听到不远处水池里有水花溅起的声音，
and
she
swam
nearer
to
make
out
what
it
was
:
她游近一点，想看看那是什么：
at
first
she
thought
it
must
be
a
walrus
or
hippopotamus
,
一开始她以为那是一只海象或河马，
but
then
she
remembered
how
small
she
was
now
,
但随后她想起自己现在有多小，
and
she
soon
made
out
that
it
was
only
a
mouse
that
had
slipped
in
like
herself
.
她很快就发现那只是一只像她一样溜进来的老鼠。
“
Would
it
be
of
any
use
,
“这有什么用吗？
now
,
”
现在，”
thought
Alice
,
爱丽丝想，
“
to
speak
to
this
mouse
?
“和这只老鼠说话？
Everything
is
so
out
-
of
-
the
-
way
down
here
,
这里的一切都如此偏僻，
that
I
should
think
very
likely
it
can
talk
:
我认为它很可能能说话：
at
any
rate
,
好歹，
there's
no
harm
in
trying
.
”
尝试一下也无妨。”
So
she
began
:
于是她开始说道：
“
O
Mouse
,
“哦，老鼠，
do
you
know
the
way
out
of
this
pool
?
你知道怎么离开这个水池吗？
I
am
very
tired
of
swimming
about
here
,
我已经厌倦了在这里游泳，
O
Mouse
!
”
“哦，老鼠！”
(
Alice
thought
this
must
be
the
right
way
of
speaking
to
a
mouse
:
（爱丽丝认为这一定是和老鼠说话的正确方式：
she
had
never
done
such
a
thing
before
,
她以前从未做过这样的事，
but
she
remembered
having
seen
in
her
brother's
Latin
Grammar
,
但她记得在她哥哥的拉丁语法书里看到过，
“
A
mouse
—
of
a
mouse
—
to
a
mouse
—
a
mouse
—
O
mouse
!
”
)
“一只老鼠——一只老鼠——对一只老鼠——一只老鼠——哦，老鼠！”)
The
Mouse
looked
at
her
rather
inquisitively
,
老鼠好奇地看着她，
and
seemed
to
her
to
wink
with
one
of
its
little
eyes
,
在她看来，它似乎在用一只小眼睛眨着眼睛，
but
it
said
nothing
.
但它什么也没说。
“
Perhaps
it
doesn't
understand
English
,
”
“也许它不懂英语，”
thought
Alice
;
爱丽丝想；
“
I
daresay
it's
a
French
mouse
,
“我敢说这是一只法国老鼠，
come
over
with
William
the
Conqueror
.
”
和征服者威廉一起过来。”
(
For
,
（为了，
with
all
her
knowledge
of
history
,
凭借她丰富的历史知识，
Alice
had
no
very
clear
notion
how
long
ago
anything
had
happened
.
)
爱丽丝不太清楚事情发生的时间是多久以前。）
So
she
began
again
:
于是她又开始说：
“
Où
est
ma
chatte
?
”
“我是猫吗？”
which
was
the
first
sentence
in
her
French
lesson
-
book
.
这是她的法语课本上的第一句话。
The
Mouse
gave
a
sudden
leap
out
of
the
water
,
老鼠突然跃出水面，
and
seemed
to
quiver
all
over
with
fright
.
似乎因恐惧而浑身颤抖。
“
Oh
,
“哦，
I
beg
your
pardon
!
”
请再说一遍！”
cried
Alice
hastily
,
爱丽丝急忙喊道，
afraid
that
she
had
hurt
the
poor
animal's
feelings
.
担心她伤害了这只可怜的动物的感情。
“
I
quite
forgot
you
didn't
like
cats
.
”
“我完全忘了你不喜欢猫。”
“
Not
like
cats
!
”
“不像猫！”
cried
the
Mouse
,
老鼠喊道，
in
a
shrill
,
尖锐地，
passionate
voice
.
充满激情的声音。
“
Would
you
like
cats
if
you
were
me
?
”
“如果你是我，你会喜欢猫吗？”
“
Well
,
“出色地，
perhaps
not
,
”
“也许不是，”
said
Alice
in
a
soothing
tone
:
爱丽丝用安慰的语气说道：
“
don't
be
angry
about
it
.
“别为此生气。
And
yet
I
wish
I
could
show
you
our
cat
Dinah
:
但我希望可以向你展示我们的猫黛娜：
I
think
you'd
take
a
fancy
to
cats
if
you
could
only
see
her
.
我想如果你能看到她，你就会喜欢上猫。
She
is
such
a
dear
quiet
thing
,
”
她真是一个可爱安静的人，”
Alice
went
on
,
爱丽丝继续说道：
half
to
herself
,
一半对她自己，
as
she
swam
lazily
about
in
the
pool
,
当她在泳池里悠闲地游着时，
“
and
she
sits
purring
so
nicely
by
the
fire
,
“她坐在火炉边，发出美妙的呼噜声，
licking
her
paws
and
washing
her
face
—
and
she
is
such
a
nice
soft
thing
to
nurse
—
and
she's
such
a
capital
one
for
catching
mice
—
oh
,
舔她的爪子，洗她的脸——她真是一个温柔的小家伙，值得照顾——而且她又非常擅长抓老鼠——哦，
I
beg
your
pardon
!
”
请再说一遍！”
cried
Alice
again
,
爱丽丝又喊道，
for
this
time
the
Mouse
was
bristling
all
over
,
这次老鼠浑身都竖起了毛，
and
she
felt
certain
it
must
be
really
offended
.
她确信它一定真的被冒犯了。
“
We
won't
talk
about
her
any
more
if
you'd
rather
not
.
”
“如果你不愿意，我们就不会再谈论她了。”
“
We
indeed
!
”
“我们确实如此！”
cried
the
Mouse
,
老鼠喊道，
who
was
trembling
down
to
the
end
of
his
tail
.
他浑身都在颤抖，直到尾巴尖。
“
As
if
I
would
talk
on
such
a
subject
!

Our
family
always
hated
cats
:

vulgar
things

Don't
let
me
hear
the
name
again
!
”
别让我再听到这个名字！”
“
I
won't
indeed
!
”
“我当然不会！”
said
Alice
,
爱丽丝说，
in
a
great
hurry
to
change
the
subject
of
conversation
.
急忙改变谈话的主题。
“
Are
you
—
are
you
fond
—
of
—
of
dogs
?
”
“你、你喜欢、喜欢、喜欢狗吗？”
The
Mouse
did
not
answer
,
老鼠没有回答，
so
Alice
went
on
eagerly
:
于是爱丽丝急切地继续说道：
“
There
is
such
a
nice
little
dog
near
our
house
I
should
like
to
show
you
!
“我们家附近有一只非常可爱的小狗，我想带你看看！
A
little
bright
-
eyed
terrier

you
know
,
你知道，
with
oh
,

such
long
curly
brown
hair

And
it'll
fetch
things
when
you
throw
them
,
当你扔东西时它会捡起来，
and
it'll
sit
up
and
beg
for
its
dinner
,
然后它会坐起来乞求晚餐，
and
all
sorts
of
things
—
I
can't
remember
half
of
them
—
and
it
belongs
to
a
farmer
,
以及各种各样的东西——我记不清一半了——它属于一个农民，
you
know
,
你知道，
and
he
says
it's
so
useful
,
他说这很有用，
it's
worth
a
hundred
pounds
!

He
says
it
kills
all
the
rats
and
—
oh
dear
!
”
他说这会杀死所有的老鼠——天哪！”
cried
Alice
in
a
sorrowful
tone
,
爱丽丝悲伤地喊道，
“
I'm
afraid
I've
offended
it
again
!
”
“我怕我又得罪它了！”
For
the
Mouse
was
swimming
away
from
her
as
hard
as
it
could
go
,
因为老鼠正拼命地从她身边游走，
and
making
quite
a
commotion
in
the
pool
as
it
went
.
并在水池中引起了一阵骚动。
So
she
called
softly
after
it
,
于是她轻轻地呼唤它，
“
Mouse
dear
!

Do
come
back
again
,
请再回来，
and
we
won't
talk
about
cats
or
dogs
either

if
you
don't
like
them
!

When
the
Mouse
heard
this
,
当老鼠听到这个消息时，
it
turned
round
and
swam
slowly
back
to
her
:
它转过身，慢慢地向她游回来：
its
face
was
quite
pale
(
with
passion
,
它的脸色很苍白（充满激情，
Alice
thought
)
,
爱丽丝想），
and
it
said
in
a
low
trembling
voice
,
它用低沉而颤抖的声音说道：
“
Let
us
get
to
the
shore

and
then
I'll
tell
you
my
history
,

and
you'll
understand
why
it
is
I
hate
cats
and
dogs
.
”

It
was
high
time
to
go
,
是时候离开了，
for
the
pool
was
getting
quite
crowded
with
the
birds
and
animals
that
had
fallen
into
it

第三章
A
Caucus
-
Race
and
a
Long
Tale
党团竞选与长篇故事
They
were
indeed
a
queer
-
looking
party
that
assembled
on
the
bank
—
the
birds
with
draggled
feathers
,
聚集在河岸上的确实是一群长相怪异的人——羽毛凌乱的鸟儿，
the
animals
with
their
fur
clinging
close
to
them
,

and
all
dripping
wet
,

叉，
and
uncomfortable

The
first
question
of
course
was
,

how
to
get
dry
again
:
如何再次干燥：
they
had
a
consultation
about
this
,
他们就此进行了磋商，
and
after
a
few
minutes
it
seemed
quite
natural
to
Alice
to
find
herself
talking
familiarly
with
them
,
几分钟后，爱丽丝很自然地发现自己正在和他们亲密地交谈，
as
if
she
had
known
them
all
her
life
.
就好像她一辈子都认识他们一样。
Indeed
,
的确，
she
had
quite
a
long
argument
with
the
Lory
,
她和鹦鹉争论了很久，
who
at
last
turned
sulky
,
最后他变得闷闷不乐，
and
would
only
say
,
只会说，
“
I
am
older
than
you
,
“我比你大，
and
must
know
better

and
this
Alice
would
not
allow
without
knowing
how
old
it
was
,
爱丽丝不会允许的，因为她不知道它有多老，
and
,
和，
as
the
Lory
positively
refused
to
tell
its
age
,
由于鹦鹉拒绝透露自己的年龄，
there
was
no
more
to
be
said

At
last

who
seemed
to
be
a
person
of
authority
among
them
,

called
out

she
felt
sure

catch
a
bad
cold
if
she
did
not
get
dry
very
soon
.
因为她确信，如果她不尽快擦干身体，她就会患上重感冒。

Ahem

important
air

老鼠一本正经地说，

are
you
all
ready

had
paused
as
if
it
thought

else
seemed
inclined

in

sort

they
began
running
when
they
liked

the

deal
of
thought
,
渡渡鸟想了好一会儿才回答这个问题，
and
it
sat
for
a
long
time
with
one
finger
pressed
upon
its
forehead
(
the
position
in
which
you
usually
see
Shakespeare

in

pictures
of
him

and
pulled
out
a
box
of
comfits
,

(
luckily
the

got
into
it

sadly

it
over
here

the
Dodo

Then
they

crowded
round
her
once
more

然后他们又把她围了起来，
while
the
Dodo
solemnly
presented
the
thimble

of

when
it
had
finished
this
short
speech

they
all
cheered

thought
the
whole
thing
very
absurd

they
all
looked
so
grave
that
she
did
not
dare
to
laugh

took
the
thimble

looking

solemn
as
she
could
.
她尽量让自己看起来严肃一些。

thing
was
to
eat
the
comfits

this
caused
some
noise
and
confusion
,
这引起了一些噪音和混乱，
as
the
large
birds
complained
that
they
could
not
taste
theirs
,
当大鸟抱怨它们尝不到自己的味道时，
and
the
small
ones
choked
and
had
to
be
patted
on
the
back
.
小孩子被噎住了，必须有人拍拍他们的背。
However
,
然而，
it
was
over
at
last
,
终于结束了，
and
they
sat
down
again
in
a
ring
,
他们又围成一圈坐下，
and
begged
the
Mouse
to
tell
them
something
more

tell
me
your
history

C
and
D
,
”

she
added
in
a
whisper

half
afraid

puzzling
about

was
speaking
