Alice's Adventures in Wonderland — Page 3
爱丽丝拿起扇子和手套,由于大厅里非常热,她一边继续说话一边不停地扇着风:
Alice took up the fan and gloves, and, as the hall was very hot, she kept fanning herself all the time she went on talking:
「天哪,天哪!今天一切都好奇怪!而昨天一切都跟往常一样。
"Dear, dear! How queer everything is to-day! And yesterday things went on just as usual.
我不知道自己是不是在夜里变了个人?让我想想:我今天早上起床的时候还是原来的我吗?
I wonder if I've been changed in the night? Let me think: was I the same when I got up this morning?
我几乎觉得自己记得有一点点不一样的感觉。
I almost think I can remember feeling a little different.
但如果我不再是原来的我,下一个问题就是,我到底是谁?
But if I'm not the same, the next question is, Who in the world am I?
啊,这才是大难题!」
Ah, that's the great puzzle!"
于是她开始回想她认识的所有和自己年龄相仿的孩子,看看自己是否有可能变成了其中某一个。
And she began thinking over all the children she knew that were of the same age as herself, to see if she could have been changed for any of them.
「我肯定不是爱达,」她说,「因为她的头发是那种长长的卷发,而我的头发根本不卷;
"I'm sure I'm not Ada," she said, "for her hair goes in such long ringlets, and mine doesn't go in ringlets at all;
我肯定也不是梅布尔,因为我懂很多各种各样的事情,而她,哦!她懂得实在太少了!
and I'm sure I can't be Mabel, for I know all sorts of things, and she, oh! she knows such a very little!
再说,她是她,我是我,而且——哦天哪,这一切真是太令人困惑了!
Besides, she's she, and I'm I, and—oh dear, how puzzling it all is!
我来试试看我还记不记得以前知道的那些事情。让我想想:四乘以五等于十二,四乘以六等于十三,四乘以七等于——哦天哪!
I'll try if I know all the things I used to know. Let me see: four times five is twelve, and four times six is thirteen, and four times seven is—oh dear!
照这个速度我永远也算不到二十!
I shall never get to twenty at that rate!
不过,乘法表不重要,我们来试试地理吧。」
However, the Multiplication Table doesn't signify: let's try Geography.
