Alice's Adventures in Wonderland — Page 6
她的下巴都浸在咸水里了。
she was up to her chin in salt water.
她的第一个念头是她不知怎么掉进了大海，
Her first idea was that she had somehow fallen into the sea,
「那样的话我可以坐火车回去，」她心想。
"and in that case I can go back by railway," she said to herself.
（爱丽丝这辈子只去过一次海边，她得出了一个总体结论：不管你去英国海岸的哪个地方，都能看到海里有许多供人换衣服的浴室小车，沙滩上有些孩子在用木铲挖沙，然后是一排排出租屋，出租屋后面还有一个火车站。）
(Alice had been to the seaside once in her life, and had come to the general conclusion, that wherever you go to on the English coast you find a number of bathing machines in the sea, some children digging in the sand with wooden spades, then a row of lodging houses, and behind them a railway station.)
然而，她很快弄清楚了，她正泡在自己当初身高九英尺时哭出来的那一池眼泪里。
However, she soon made out that she was in the pool of tears which she had wept when she was nine feet high.
「真希望我没哭那么多！」爱丽丝一边游来游去寻找出路，一边说道。
"I wish I hadn't cried so much!" said Alice, as she swam about, trying to find her way out.
「我想现在就要因此受罚了，要被自己的眼泪淹死！」
"I shall be punished for it now, I suppose, by being drowned in my own tears!
「这可真是件奇事，没错！不过，今天什么事都很奇怪。」
That will be a queer thing, to be sure! However, everything is queer to-day."
就在这时，她听到水池里不远处有什么东西正在扑腾，便游近了些想看清楚是什么。
Just then she heard something splashing about in the pool a little way off, and she swam nearer to make out what it was:
起初她以为那一定是一头海象或河马，但随即想起她现在是多么渺小，便很快看出那不过是一只像她一样不小心滑落水中的老鼠。
at first she thought it must be a walrus or hippopotamus, but then she remembered how small she was now, and she soon made out that it was only a mouse that had slipped in like herself.
「现在跟这只老鼠说话，有什么用吗？」爱丽丝心想。
"Would it be of any use, now," thought Alice, "to speak to this mouse?"
