Alice's Adventures in Wonderland — Page 9
And it'll fetch things when you throw them, and it'll sit up and beg for its dinner, and all sorts of things—I can't remember half of them—and it belongs to a farmer, you know, and he says it's so useful, it's worth a hundred pounds!
而且你扔东西它会去捡回来,它会坐起来乞求晚饭,还有各种各样的事情——我有一半都记不住了——它属于一个农夫,你知道,那农夫说它非常有用,值一百英镑!
He says it kills all the rats and—oh dear!" cried Alice in a sorrowful tone, "I'm afraid I've offended it again!"
他说它能杀死所有的老鼠,还有——哎呀!"爱丽丝用悲伤的语气喊道,"我恐怕又把它惹恼了!"
For the Mouse was swimming away from her as hard as it could go, and making quite a commotion in the pool as it went.
因为那只老鼠正在拼命地游离她,在游走的过程中把水池搅得相当混乱。
So she called softly after it, "Mouse dear! Do come back again, and we won't talk about cats or dogs either, if you don't like them!"
于是她轻声地在后面呼唤道:"亲爱的老鼠!请再回来吧,如果你不喜欢的话,我们也不谈猫或狗了!"
When the Mouse heard this, it turned round and swam slowly back to her: its face was quite pale (with passion, Alice thought), and it said in a low trembling voice, "Let us get to the shore, and then I'll tell you my history, and you'll understand why it is I hate cats and dogs."
老鼠听到这话,转过身来慢慢地游回到她身边:它的脸色相当苍白(爱丽丝认为是因为激动),用低沉颤抖的声音说:"让我们上岸去,然后我会告诉你我的经历,你就会明白我为什么憎恨猫和狗了。"
It was high time to go, for the pool was getting quite crowded with the birds and animals that had fallen into it: there were a Duck and a Dodo, a Lory and an Eaglet, and several other curious creatures.
该走了,因为水池里聚集了许多掉进来的鸟类和动物,越来越拥挤:有一只鸭子和一只渡渡鸟,一只鹦鹉和一只小鹰,还有好几只其他奇特的生物。
Alice led the way, and the whole party swam to the shore.
爱丽丝带头,整个队伍一起游向了岸边。
