Alice's Adventures in Wonderland — Page 2
"那就是陪审员席,"爱丽丝想,"那十二个生物,"(她不得不说"生物",你看,因为其中有些是动物,有些是鸟类,)"我想他们就是陪审员。"
"And that's the jury-box," thought Alice, "and those twelve creatures," (she was obliged to say "creatures," you see, because some of them were animals, and some were birds,) "I suppose they are the jurors."
她把最后这个词对自己重复了两三遍,对此颇为得意:因为她想,而且想得没错,很少有她这个年纪的小女孩知道这个词的意思。
She said this last word two or three times over to herself, being rather proud of it: for she thought, and rightly too, that very few little girls of her age knew the meaning of it at all.
不过,说"陪审员们"也一样好。
However, "jury-men" would have done just as well.
那十二个陪审员都在石板上忙着写个不停。
The twelve jurors were all writing very busily on slates.
"他们在干什么?"爱丽丝对鹰头狮小声说,"审判还没开始,他们不可能有什么要记下来的。"
"What are they doing?" Alice whispered to the Gryphon. "They can't have anything to put down yet, before the trial's begun."
"他们在写下自己的名字,"鹰头狮小声回答,"生怕在审判结束前忘记了。"
"They're putting down their names," the Gryphon whispered in reply, "for fear they should forget them before the end of the trial."
"真蠢!"爱丽丝用响亮而愤慨的声音开口说,但她立刻停住了,因为白兔大声喊道:"法庭肃静!"
"Stupid things!" Alice began in a loud, indignant voice, but she stopped hastily, for the White Rabbit cried out, "Silence in the court!"
国王戴上眼镜,焦急地四处张望,想看出是谁在说话。
and the King put on his spectacles and looked anxiously round, to make out who was talking.
爱丽丝能看到,就像她在他们肩膀后面看一样清楚,所有陪审员都在石板上写下"真蠢!"
Alice could see, as well as if she were looking over their shoulders, that all the jurors were writing down "stupid things!" on their slates
她甚至还能看出,其中一个不知道怎么拼写"蠢",不得不问旁边的人。
and she could even make out that one of them didn't know how to spell "stupid," and that he had to ask his neighbour to tell him.
"审判结束前,他们的石板会变得一团糟!"爱丽丝想。
"A nice muddle their slates'll be in before the trial's over!" thought Alice.
