Alice's Adventures in Wonderland — Page 7
Everything is so out-of-the-way down here, that I should think very likely it can talk: at any rate, there's no harm in trying.
这里的一切都如此不寻常，我想它很可能会说话：无论如何，试一试也无妨。
The Mouse looked at her rather inquisitively, and seemed to her to wink with one of its little eyes, but it said nothing.
老鼠相当好奇地看着她，在她看来似乎还用一只小眼睛朝她眨了眨，但它什么也没说。
(For, with all her knowledge of history, Alice had no very clear notion how long ago anything had happened.)
（因为，尽管爱丽丝懂得不少历史知识，她却对任何事情发生在多久之前并没有十分清晰的概念。）
The Mouse gave a sudden leap out of the water, and seemed to quiver all over with fright.
老鼠猛地从水里跳了起来，浑身似乎都在因恐惧而颤抖。
