Alice's Adventures in Wonderland — Page 7
" but the Mouse only shook its head impatiently, and walked a little quicker.
" pero el Ratón solo sacudió la cabeza con impaciencia y caminó un poco más rápido.
"What a pity it wouldn't stay!" sighed the Lory, as soon as it was quite out of sight; and an old Crab took the opportunity of saying to her daughter "Ah, my dear!
"¡Qué lástima que no se quedara!" suspiró el Loro, tan pronto como estuvo fuera de vista; y un viejo Cangrejo aprovechó la oportunidad para decirle a su hija "¡Ah, querida mía!
Let this be a lesson to you never to lose _your_ temper!"
¡Que esto sea una lección para que nunca pierdas _tu_ temperamento!"
"Hold your tongue, Ma!" said the young Crab, a little snappishly.
"¡Cállate, Mamá!" dijo el joven Cangrejo, un poco bruscamente.
"You're enough to try the patience of an oyster!"
"¡Eres suficiente para agotar la paciencia de una ostra!"
"I wish I had our Dinah here, I know I do!" said Alice aloud, addressing nobody in particular.
"¡Desearía tener a nuestra Dinah aquí, sé que sí!" dijo Alice en voz alta, sin dirigirse a nadie en particular.
"She'd soon fetch it back!"
"¡Ella lo traería de vuelta enseguida!"
"And who is Dinah, if I might venture to ask the question?" said the Lory.
"¿Y quién es Dinah, si me atrevo a hacer la pregunta?" dijo el Loro.
Alice replied eagerly, for she was always ready to talk about her pet: "Dinah's our cat.
Alice respondió con entusiasmo, pues siempre estaba dispuesta a hablar de su mascota: "Dinah es nuestra gata.
And she's such a capital one for catching mice you can't think!
¡Y es tan excelente para atrapar ratones que no puedes imaginarlo!
And oh, I wish you could see her after the birds!
¡Y oh, desearía que pudieras verla persiguiendo a los pájaros!
Why, she'll eat a little bird as soon as look at it!"
¡Vaya, se comería un pajarito tan pronto como lo mire!"
This speech caused a remarkable sensation among the party.
Este discurso causó una sensación notable entre el grupo.
Some of the birds hurried off at once: one old Magpie began wrapping itself up very carefully, remarking, "I really must be getting home; the night-air doesn't suit my throat!"
Algunos de los pájaros se marcharon apresuradamente de inmediato: una vieja Urraca comenzó a arroparse muy cuidadosamente, comentando, "Realmente debo irme a casa; ¡el aire nocturno no le sienta bien a mi garganta!"
and a Canary called out in a trembling voice to its children, "Come away, my dears!
y un Canario gritó con voz temblorosa a sus hijos, "¡Vámonos, queridos míos!
It's high time you were all in bed!
¡Ya es hora de que todos estén en la cama!
