Alice's Adventures in Wonderland — Page 2

English → Chinese Preface Level 5/10

It was as much as she could do, lying down on one side, to look through into the garden with one eye; but to get through was more hopeless than ever: she sat down and began to cry again.

她侧躺下来，用一只眼睛往花园里张望，这已经是她所能做到的极限了；但要钻过去，却比以往任何时候都更加无望：她坐了下来，又开始哭泣。

"You ought to be ashamed of yourself," said Alice, "a great girl like you," (she might well say this), "to go on crying in this way! Stop this moment, I tell you!"

爱丽丝说："你应该为自己感到羞耻，像你这么大的女孩，"（她确实有资格这样说），"还这样哭个不停！我告诉你，马上停下来！"

But she went on all the same, shedding gallons of tears, until there was a large pool all round her, about four inches deep and reaching half down the hall.

但她依然哭个不停，流下了大量的泪水，直到她周围形成了一大片水洼，大约四英寸深，蔓延到走廊的一半。

After a time she heard a little pattering of feet in the distance, and she hastily dried her eyes to see what was coming.

过了一会儿，她听到远处传来一阵细碎的脚步声，她急忙擦干眼泪，想看看是什么东西来了。

It was the White Rabbit returning, splendidly dressed, with a pair of white kid gloves in one hand and a large fan in the other: he came trotting along in a great hurry, muttering to himself as he came, "Oh! the Duchess, the Duchess! Oh! won't she be savage if I've kept her waiting!"

是那只白兔回来了，打扮得漂漂亮亮，一只手拿着一副白色小山羊皮手套，另一只手拿着一把大扇子：它小跑着走来，十分匆忙，边走边自言自语道："哦！公爵夫人，公爵夫人！哦！如果我让她久等了，她不会大发雷霆吗！"

Alice felt so desperate that she was ready to ask help of any one; so, when the Rabbit came near her, she began, in a low, timid voice, "If you please, sir—"

爱丽丝感到如此绝望，以至于她准备向任何人求助；于是，当兔子走近她时，她用低沉、胆怯的声音开口说道："请问，先生——"

The Rabbit started violently, dropped the white kid gloves and the fan, and skurried away into the darkness as hard as he could go.

兔子猛地一惊，丢下了白色小山羊皮手套和扇子，拼命地跑进了黑暗之中。
