'Who cares for you?' said Alice, (she had grown to her full size by this time.) 'You're nothing but a pack of cards!'

“谁理你呢?”爱丽丝说,这时她已经恢复到本来的身材了,“你们只不过是一副纸牌!”

At this the whole pack rose up into the air, and came flying down upon her: she gave a little scream, half of fright and half of anger, and tried to beat them off, and found herself lying on the bank, with her head in the lap of her sister, who was gently brushing away some dead leaves that had fluttered down from the trees upon her face.

这时,整副纸牌上升到空中,然后又飞落在她身上,她发出一小声尖叫,既惊又怒,她正在把这些纸牌扬去,却发觉自己躺在河岸边,头还枕在姐姐的腿上,而姐姐正在轻轻地拿掉落在她脸上的枯叶。

'Wake up, Alice dear!' said her sister; 'Why, what a long sleep you've had!'

“醒醒吧,亲爱的爱丽丝,”她姐姐说,“看,你睡了多久啦!”

'Oh, I've had such a curious dream!' said Alice, and she told her sister, as well as she could remember them, all these strange Adventures of hers that you have just been reading about; and when she had finished, her sister kissed her, and said, 'It WAS a curious dream, dear, certainly: but now run in to your tea; it's getting late.' So Alice got up and ran off, thinking while she ran, as well she might, what a wonderful dream it had been.

“啊,我做了个多奇怪的梦啊!”爱丽丝尽她所记忆的,把那些奇怪的经历,告诉了姐姐。也就是你刚才读过的那些。当她说完了,姐姐吻了她一下说:“这真是奇怪的梦,亲爱的,但是现在快去喝茶吧,天已经不早了。”于是爱丽丝站起来走了,一面走,一面还费劲地想,她做了个多奇妙的梦呀!

But her sister sat still just as she left her, leaning her head on her hand, watching the setting sun, and thinking of little Alice and all her wonderful Adventures, till she too began dreaming after a fashion, and this was her dream:—

爱丽丝走后,她姐姐仍静坐在那里,头向前支在一只手上,望着西下的夕阳,想着小爱丽丝和她梦中的奇幻经历,然后自己进人了梦乡。下面就是她的梦。

First, she dreamed of little Alice herself, and once again the tiny hands were clasped upon her knee, and the bright eager eyes were looking up into hers—she could hear the very tones of her voice, and see that queer little toss of her head to keep back the wandering hair that WOULD always get into her eyes—and still as she listened, or seemed to listen, the whole place around her became alive the strange creatures of her little sister's dream.

开始,她梦见了小爱丽丝本人,又一次双手抱住了膝盖,用明亮而热切的眼光仰视着她。她听到小爱丽丝的声音,看到了她的头微微一摆,把蓬乱的头发摆顺了些,这是她常常见到的情景。当她听着、听着爱丽丝说的话时,周围的环境随着她小妹妹梦中的那些奇异动物的降临而活跃起来了。

The long grass rustled at her feet as the White Rabbit hurried by—the frightened Mouse splashed his way through the neighbouring pool—she could hear the rattle of the teacups as the March Hare and his friends shared their never–ending meal, and the shrill voice of the Queen ordering off her unfortunate guests to execution—once more the pig–baby was sneezing on the Duchess's knee, while plates and dishes crashed around it—once more the shriek of the Gryphon, the squeaking of the Lizard's slate–pencil, and the choking of the suppressed guinea–pigs, filled the air, mixed up with the distant sobs of the miserable Mock Turtle.

白兔跳来蹦去,弄得她脚下的洞草沙沙作响,受惊的老鼠在邻近的洞穴间穿来穿去,不时扬起一股尘土。她还听到三月兔同它的朋友们共享着没完没了的美餐时碰击茶杯的声音,以及王后命令处决她的不幸客人的尖叫声。同时也听到猪孩子在公爵夫人腿上打喷嚏,以及盘碗的摔碎声。甚至听到鹰头狮的尖叫,壁虎写字时的沙沙声,被制裁的豚鼠的挣扎声等等。这种种声音充满了空间,还混杂着远处传来的素甲鱼那悲哀的抽泣声。

So she sat on, with closed eyes, and half believed herself in Wonderland, though she knew she had but to open them again, and all would change to dull reality—the grass would be only rustling in the wind, and the pool rippling to the waving of the reeds—the rattling teacups would change to tinkling sheep–bells, and the Queen's shrill cries to the voice of the shepherd boy—and the sneeze of the baby, the shriek of the Gryphon, and all the other queer noises, would change (she knew) to the confused clamour of the busy farm–yard—while the lowing of the cattle in the distance would take the place of the Mock Turtle's heavy sobs.

于是她将身子坐正,闭着眼睛,半信半疑自己真的到了奇境世界。尽管她知道只是重温一个旧梦,而一切都仍会返回现实:蒿草只是迎风作响,池水的波纹摆动了芦苇。茶杯的碰击声实际是羊颈上的铃铛声,王后的尖叫起源于牧童的吃喝。猪孩子的喷嚏声,鹰头狮的尖叫声和各种奇声怪音,原来只是农村中繁忙季节的各种喧闹声。而远处耕牛的低吟,在梦中变成素甲鱼的哀泣。
