Alice's Adventures in Wonderland — Page 4
"他一定是模仿了别人的笔迹,"国王说。(陪审团的人都又振奋起来了。)
"He must have imitated somebody else's hand," said the King. (The jury all brightened up again.)
"陛下,"武士说,"我没有写这个,他们也不能证明是我写的:末尾没有签名。"
"Please your Majesty," said the Knave, "I didn't write it, and they can't prove I did: there's no name signed at the end."
"如果你没有签名,"国王说,"那只会让事情更糟。你一定是心怀恶意,否则你就会像一个诚实的人那样签上你的名字。"
"If you didn't sign it," said the King, "that only makes the matter worse. You _must_ have meant some mischief, or else you'd have signed your name like an honest man."
这时响起了一阵鼓掌声:这是国王那天说的第一句真正聪明的话。
There was a general clapping of hands at this: it was the first really clever thing the King had said that day.
"这证明了他有罪,"王后说。
"That _proves_ his guilt," said the Queen.
"这什么也证明不了!"爱丽丝说。"怎么,你们甚至都不知道这些诗是关于什么的!"
"It proves nothing of the sort!" said Alice. "Why, you don't even know what they're about!"
"读吧,"国王说。
"Read them," said the King.
白兔戴上了眼镜。"陛下,我从哪里开始呢?"他问道。
The White Rabbit put on his spectacles. "Where shall I begin, please your Majesty?" he asked.
"从开头开始,"国王严肃地说,"一直读到结尾:然后停止。"
"Begin at the beginning," the King said gravely, "and go on till you come to the end: then stop."
以下是白兔读的诗句:——
These were the verses the White Rabbit read:—
"他们告诉我你去找过她,还向他提起了我:她说我人品不错,但说我不会游泳。
"They told me you had been to her, And mentioned me to him: She gave me a good character, But said I could not swim.
他捎信说我没有去(我们知道这是真的):如果她继续追究此事,你会怎么样呢?
He sent them word I had not gone (We know it to be true): If she should push the matter on, What would become of you?
我给了她一个,他们给了他两个,你给了我们三个或更多;它们都从他那里回到了你手中,虽然它们以前是我的。
I gave her one, they gave him two, You gave us three or more; They all returned from him to you, Though they were mine before.
