Alice's Adventures in Wonderland — Page 8

English → Chinese Preface Level 5/10

And yet I wish I could show you our cat Dinah: I think you'd take a fancy to cats if you could only see her.

然而我真希望能让你看看我们的猫黛娜：我想如果你能看到她，你会喜欢上猫的。

She is such a dear quiet thing," Alice went on, half to herself, as she swam lazily about in the pool, "and she sits purring so nicely by the fire, licking her paws and washing her face—and she is such a nice soft thing to nurse—and she's such a capital one for catching mice—oh, I beg your pardon!"

她是那么可爱安静的小东西，"爱丽丝半自言自语地继续说道，她懒洋洋地在水池里游来游去，"她坐在炉火旁发出好听的呼噜声，舔着爪子，洗着脸——她是那么柔软可爱，让人想抱着她——她又是捉老鼠的好手——哦，对不起！"

cried Alice again, for this time the Mouse was bristling all over, and she felt certain it must be really offended.

爱丽丝再次叫道，因为这时老鼠浑身的毛都竖了起来，她确信老鼠一定是真的生气了。

"We won't talk about her any more if you'd rather not."

「如果你不喜欢，我们就不再谈她了。」

"We indeed!" cried the Mouse, who was trembling down to the end of his tail.

「我们！」老鼠叫道，它从头到尾巴尖都在颤抖着。

"As if _I_ would talk on such a subject! Our family always _hated_ cats: nasty, low, vulgar things! Don't let me hear the name again!"

「好像我会谈论这种话题似的！我们全家向来都痛恨猫：那种讨厌、卑贱、粗俗的东西！别让我再听到这个名字！」

"I won't indeed!" said Alice, in a great hurry to change the subject of conversation.

「我当然不会！」爱丽丝说，急忙想要转换话题。

"Are you—are you fond—of—of dogs?"

「你——你喜不喜欢——狗？」

The Mouse did not answer, so Alice went on eagerly: "There is such a nice little dog near our house I should like to show you!

老鼠没有回答，于是爱丽丝热切地继续说道：「我们家附近有一只非常可爱的小狗，我真想让你见见它！

A little bright-eyed terrier, you know, with oh, such long curly brown hair!

一只眼睛明亮的小梗犬，你知道，哦，长着那么长的棕色卷毛！
