Alice's Adventures in Wonderland — Page 5
(Dinah was the cat.)
（黛娜是那只猫。）
"I hope they'll remember her saucer of milk at tea-time.
「我希望他们在喝茶时间会记得给她那碟牛奶。
Dinah my dear! I wish you were down here with me!
亲爱的黛娜！我多希望你也在这里陪着我！
There are no mice in the air, I'm afraid, but you might catch a bat, and that's very like a mouse, you know.
空中恐怕没有老鼠，但你也许能抓到一只蝙蝠，那和老鼠很像的，你知道。
But do cats eat bats, I wonder?"
但我倒想知道，猫会吃蝙蝠吗？」
And here Alice began to get rather sleepy, and went on saying to herself, in a dreamy sort of way, "Do cats eat bats? Do cats eat bats?"
这时爱丽丝开始觉得有些困倦，便迷迷糊糊地自言自语道：「猫会吃蝙蝠吗？猫会吃蝙蝠吗？」
and sometimes, "Do bats eat cats?"
有时又说：「蝙蝠会吃猫吗？」
for, you see, as she couldn't answer either question, it didn't much matter which way she put it.
你瞧，因为她两个问题都答不上来，所以怎么问也无所谓了。
She felt that she was dozing off, and had just begun to dream that she was walking hand in hand with Dinah, and saying to her very earnestly, "Now, Dinah, tell me the truth: did you ever eat a bat?"
她感到自己快要打盹了，正做着梦，梦见自己与黛娜手牵手走着，并十分认真地对她说：「黛娜，告诉我实话：你吃过蝙蝠吗？」
when suddenly, thump! thump! down she came upon a heap of sticks and dry leaves, and the fall was over.
突然，咚！咚！她落在了一堆树枝和枯叶上，下落就这样结束了。
Alice was not a bit hurt, and she jumped up on to her feet in a moment:
爱丽丝一点儿也没有受伤，她立刻跳了起来：
she looked up, but it was all dark overhead; before her was another long passage, and the White Rabbit was still in sight, hurrying down it.
她抬头望去，头顶上一片漆黑；她面前是另一条长长的通道，白兔仍在视线之内，正匆匆忙忙地沿着通道跑去。
