Alice's Adventures in Wonderland — Page 5
" shouted the Queen.
" gritó la Reina.
"Their heads are gone, if it please your Majesty!" the soldiers shouted in reply.
"Sus cabezas han desaparecido, si place a Su Majestad" gritaron los soldados en respuesta.
"That's right!" shouted the Queen.
"¡Así está bien!" gritó la Reina.
"Can you play croquet?"
"¿Puedes jugar al croquet?"
The soldiers were silent, and looked at Alice, as the question was evidently meant for her.
Los soldados permanecieron en silencio y miraron a Alicia, pues evidentemente la pregunta iba dirigida a ella.
"Yes!" shouted Alice.
"¡Sí!" gritó Alicia.
"Come on, then!" roared the Queen, and Alice joined the procession, wondering very much what would happen next.
"¡Vamos, entonces!" rugió la Reina, y Alicia se unió a la procesión, preguntándose mucho qué sucedería a continuación.
"It's—it's a very fine day!" said a timid voice at her side.
"Es—es un día muy hermoso" dijo una voz tímida a su lado.
She was walking by the White Rabbit, who was peeping anxiously into her face.
Caminaba junto al Conejo Blanco, que estaba mirando ansiosamente su cara.
"Very," said Alice: "—where's the Duchess?"
"Mucho" dijo Alicia: "—¿dónde está la Duquesa?"
"Hush! Hush!" said the Rabbit in a low, hurried tone.
"¡Silencio! ¡Silencio!" dijo el Conejo en tono bajo y apresurado.
He looked anxiously over his shoulder as he spoke, and then raised himself upon tiptoe, put his mouth close to her ear, and whispered "She's under sentence of execution."
Miró ansiosamente por encima de su hombro mientras hablaba, y luego se alzó de puntillas, acercó su boca a la oreja de ella, y susurró "Está bajo sentencia de ejecución."
"What for?" said Alice.
"¿Por qué?" dijo Alicia.
"Did you say 'What a pity!'?" the Rabbit asked.
"¿Dijiste 'Qué lástima'?" preguntó el Conejo.
"No, I didn't," said Alice: "I don't think it's at all a pity. I said 'What for?'"
"No, no lo hice" dijo Alicia: "No creo que sea ninguna lástima. Dije '¿Por qué?'"
"She boxed the Queen's ears—" the Rabbit began.
"Le dio una bofetada a la Reina—" comenzó el Conejo.
Alice gave a little scream of laughter.
Alicia soltó un gritito de risa.
"Oh, hush!" the Rabbit whispered in a frightened tone.
"¡Oh, silencio!" susurró el Conejo en tono asustado.
"The Queen will hear you! You see, she came rather late, and the Queen said—"
"¡La Reina te oirá! Verás, llegó bastante tarde, y la Reina dijo—"
"Get to your places!
"¡A vuestros puestos!
