Alice's Adventures in Wonderland — Page 2

English → Pt CHAPTER I. Level 5/10

" (when she thought it over afterwards, it occurred to her that she ought to have wondered at this, but at the time it all seemed quite natural); but when the Rabbit actually _took a watch out of its waistcoat-pocket_, and looked at it, and then hurried on, Alice started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that she had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a watch to take out of it, and burning with curiosity, she ran across the field after it, and fortunately was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit-hole under the hedge.

" (quando ela pensou nisso mais tarde, ocorreu-lhe que deveria ter se admirado com isso, mas na época tudo parecia bastante natural); mas quando o Coelho realmente _tirou um relógio do bolso do colete_, e olhou para ele, e então se apressou, Alice saltou de seus pés, pois lhe ocorreu de repente que ela nunca havia visto antes um coelho com um bolso de colete, ou um relógio para tirar dele, e ardendo de curiosidade, ela correu pelo campo atrás dele, e felizmente chegou bem a tempo de vê-lo desaparecer por uma grande toca de coelho debaixo da cerca.

In another moment down went Alice after it, never once considering how in the world she was to get out again.

Em outro momento Alice desceu atrás dele, sem nunca considerar como diabos ela iria sair de lá novamente.

The rabbit-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly down, so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself before she found herself falling down a very deep well.

A toca do coelho seguia reto como um túnel por algum trecho, e então mergulhava subitamente para baixo, tão subitamente que Alice não teve um momento sequer para pensar em deter-se antes de se encontrar caindo num poço muito fundo.

Either the well was very deep, or she fell very slowly, for she had plenty of time as she went down to look about her and to wonder what was going to happen next.

Ou o poço era muito fundo, ou ela caía muito devagar, pois ela tinha tempo de sobra enquanto descia para olhar ao redor e se perguntar o que iria acontecer a seguir.
