Ғажайыптар еліндегі Алис

Alicu už veľmi nudilo sedieť pri sestre na brehu

Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank,

a nemať čo robiť:

and of having nothing to do:

raz či dvakrát nazrela do knihy, ktorú sestra čítala,

once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading,

no neboli v nej ani obrázky, ani rozhovory,

but it had no pictures or conversations in it,

„a načo je dobrá kniha,“

“and what is the use of a book,”

pomyslela si Alica,

thought Alice

„keď v nej nie sú obrázky ani rozhovory?“

“without pictures or conversations?”

A tak si v duchu rozvažovala (tak dobre, ako len vedela,

So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could,

lebo od horúceho dňa bola veľmi ospalá a otupená),

for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid),

či by potešenie z uplietania vencov zo sedmokrások vyvážilo námahu vstať a tie sedmokrásky natrhať,

whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies,

keď tu zrazu tesne popri nej prebehol Biely Králik s ružovými očami.

when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.

Nebolo na tom nič

There was nothing so

až tak

very

pozoruhodné;

remarkable in that;

ani sa Alici nezdalo

nor did Alice think it so

také

very

neobyčajné, keď Králika začula, ako si sám pre seba hovorí:

much out of the way to hear the Rabbit say to itself,

„Ach bože!

“Oh dear!

Ach bože!

Oh dear!

Ja sa oneskorím!“

I shall be late!”

(keď o tom neskôr uvažovala, prišlo jej na um,

(when she thought it over afterwards,

že sa tomu vlastne mala čudovať,

it occurred to her that she ought to have wondered at this,

no vtedy sa jej všetko zdalo úplne prirodzené);

but at the time it all seemed quite natural);

ale keď Králik naozaj

but when the Rabbit actually

vytiahol z vrecka vesty hodinky,

took a watch out of its waistcoat-pocket,

pozrel na ne

and looked at it,

a potom sa rozbehol ďalej,

and then hurried on,

Alica vyskočila na nohy,

Alice started to her feet,

lebo jej hlavou blyslo, že ešte nikdy nevidela králika, ktorý by mal vestu s vreckom,

for it flashed across her mind that she had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket,

a v ňom hodinky,

or a watch to take out of it,

a horiac zvedavosťou

and burning with curiosity,

rozbehla sa za ním cez lúku

she ran across the field after it,

a našťastie prišla práve včas, aby videla, ako sa šuchol do veľkej králičej nory pod živým plotom.

and fortunately was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit-hole under the hedge.
