Alice's Adventures in Wonderland — Page 5

Chinese → English Preface Level 4/10

爱丽丝突然哭了起来,

cried Alice, with a sudden burst of tears,

「我真希望他们能把头低下来!我一个人待在这里,真的好累!」

"I do wish they would put their heads down! I am so very tired of being all alone here!"

她说完这番话,低头看了看自己的手,

As she said this she looked down at her hands,

却惊讶地发现,她在说话的时候,竟然戴上了兔子的一只白色小羊皮手套。

and was surprised to see that she had put on one of the Rabbit's little white kid gloves while she was talking.

「我怎么可能做了这种事?」她心想。

"How can I have done that?" she thought.

「我一定又在变小了。」

"I must be growing small again."

她站起来,走到桌子旁,用桌子来量自己的高度,

She got up and went to the table to measure herself by it,

发现她现在大概只有两英尺高,而且还在迅速地缩小:

and found that, as nearly as she could guess, she was now about two feet high, and was going on shrinking rapidly:

她很快就发现,原因是她手里拿着的那把扇子,

she soon found out that the cause of this was the fan she was holding,

于是她赶紧扔掉扇子,好在还来得及,没有完全缩消不见。

and she dropped it hastily, just in time to avoid shrinking away altogether.

「真是好险!」爱丽丝说,

"That was a narrow escape!" said Alice,

她被这突如其来的变化吓了一大跳,但又庆幸自己还好好地存在着;

a good deal frightened at the sudden change, but very glad to find herself still in existence;

「现在去花园吧!」

"and now for the garden!"

她以最快的速度跑回那扇小门,

and she ran with all speed back to the little door:

但是,唉!小门又关上了,

but, alas! the little door was shut again,

那把小金钥匙还像之前一样躺在玻璃桌上。

and the little golden key was lying on the glass table as before,

「情况比以前更糟了,」可怜的孩子心想,

"and things are worse than ever," thought the poor child,

「因为我从来没有像现在这么小过,从来没有!我说这真是太糟糕了,真的!」

"for I never was so small as this before, never! And I declare it's too bad, that it is!"

她说完这些话,脚一滑,然后转眼间,

As she said these words her foot slipped, and in another moment,

扑通!

splash!
