Alice's Adventures in Wonderland — Page 6
" And then a voice she had never heard before, "Sure then I'm here!
" Y entonces una voz que nunca había oído antes, "¡Seguro que aquí estoy!
Digging for apples, yer honour!"
¡Cavando manzanas, su señoría!"
"Digging for apples, indeed!" said the Rabbit angrily.
"¡Cavando manzanas, en verdad!" dijo el Conejo enfadado.
"Here! Come and help me out of _this!_" (Sounds of more broken glass.)
"¡Aquí! ¡Ven y ayúdame a salir de _esto!_" (Sonidos de más cristales rotos.)
"Now tell me, Pat, what's that in the window?"
"Ahora dime, Pat, ¿qué es eso en la ventana?"
"Sure, it's an arm, yer honour!" (He pronounced it "arrum.")
"¡Seguro, es un brazo, su señoría!" (Lo pronunció "braazo.")
"An arm, you goose!
"¡Un brazo, ganso!
Who ever saw one that size?
¿Quién ha visto alguno de ese tamaño?
Why, it fills the whole window!"
¡Vaya, llena toda la ventana!"
"Sure, it does, yer honour: but it's an arm for all that."
"Seguro que sí, su señoría: pero es un brazo de todos modos."
"Well, it's got no business there, at any rate: go and take it away!"
"Bueno, no tiene nada que hacer ahí, en cualquier caso: ¡ve y quítalo!"
There was a long silence after this, and Alice could only hear whispers now and then; such as, "Sure, I don't like it, yer honour, at all, at all!"
Hubo un largo silencio después de esto, y Alicia solo podía oír susurros de vez en cuando; tales como, "¡Seguro, no me gusta nada, su señoría, para nada, para nada!"
"Do as I tell you, you coward!" and at last she spread out her hand again, and made another snatch in the air.
"¡Haz lo que te digo, cobarde!" y por fin extendió su mano otra vez, e hizo otro manotazo en el aire.
This time there were _two_ little shrieks, and more sounds of broken glass.
Esta vez hubo _dos_ pequeños chillidos, y más sonidos de cristales rotos.
"What a number of cucumber-frames there must be!" thought Alice.
"¡Qué cantidad de bastidores de pepinos debe haber!" pensó Alicia.
"I wonder what they'll do next!
"¡Me pregunto qué harán después!
As for pulling me out of the window, I only wish they _could!_
En cuanto a sacarme de la ventana, ¡solo desearía que _pudieran!_
I'm sure _I_ don't want to stay in here any longer!
¡Estoy segura de que _yo_ no quiero quedarme aquí más tiempo!
