Alice i Underlandet

爱丽丝陪姐姐坐在河岸上，开始觉得十分无聊，

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

无事可做：

and of having nothing to do:

她曾一两次偷偷瞧过姐姐正在读的那本书，

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

可里面既没有图画，也没有对话，

but it had no pictures or conversations in it,

“一本书，”

“and what is the use of a book,”

爱丽丝心想，“

thought Alice

要是没有图画也没有对话，又有什么用呢？”

“without pictures or conversations?”

于是她便在心里琢磨起来（也只能勉强琢磨，

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

因为这大热天弄得她昏昏欲睡、头脑发木），

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

编一串雏菊花环的乐趣，究竟值不值得费力站起身去采雏菊，

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

就在这时，一只长着粉红眼睛的白兔忽然从她身边跑了过去。

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

这本没有什么

There was nothing so

特别

very

了不得的；

remarkable in that;

爱丽丝听见那兔子自言自语说：

nor did Alice think it so

“哎呀！

very

哎呀！我要迟到了！”也没觉得有什么

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

特别

“Oh dear!

出奇

Oh dear!

之处

I shall be late!”

（后来她回想起来，

(when she thought it over afterwards,

才觉得自己本该对此感到诧异才是，

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

可当时一切都显得十分自然）；

but at the time it all seemed quite natural);

然而当那兔子真的

but when the Rabbit actually

从背心口袋里掏出一只表来，

took a watch out of its waistcoat-pocket,

看了一眼，

and looked at it,

又匆匆赶路时，

and then hurried on,

爱丽丝一下子跳了起来，

Alice started to her feet,

因为她脑中忽然一闪：她从前从没见过哪只兔子有背心口袋，

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

更没见过兔子能从口袋里掏出一只表来。

or a watch to take out of it,

她心里燃着好奇，

and burning with curiosity,

便跟着它跑过田野，

she ran across the field after it,

幸好正赶上看见它一下子钻进了篱笆下面一个大兔子洞。

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