Down the Rabbit-Hole

掉进兔子洞

Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, "and what is the use of a book," thought Alice "without pictures or conversations?"

爱丽丝开始对坐在河岸边陪着姐姐、无所事事感到非常厌倦：她曾一两次偷看姐姐正在读的书，但书里既没有图画，也没有对话，"一本书没有图画或对话，"爱丽丝想，"有什么用呢？"

So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid), whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.

于是她在心里盘算着（尽她所能地想，因为炎热的天气让她觉得昏昏欲睡、头脑迟钝），编一条雏菊花链的乐趣是否值得她费力起身去采摘雏菊，就在这时，一只长着粉红眼睛的白兔突然从她身旁跑过。

There was nothing so _very_ remarkable in that; nor did Alice think it so _very_ much out of the way to hear the Rabbit say to itself, "Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be late!

这本没有什么十分值得大惊小怪的；爱丽丝也不觉得听到兔子自言自语说"哎呀！哎呀！我要迟到了！"有什么十分出奇的地方。
