Chinese → English CHAPTER IV. Level 4/10

「我知道每当我吃或喝什么东西的时候,肯定会发生一些有趣的事情,」她自言自语道,「所以我就看看这瓶子会产生什么效果。我真希望它能让我重新长大,因为我实在厌倦了做这么一个小不点儿!」

"I know _something_ interesting is sure to happen," she said to herself, "whenever I eat or drink anything; so I'll just see what this bottle does. I do hope it'll make me grow large again, for really I'm quite tired of being such a tiny little thing!"

它确实起作用了,而且比她预料的要快得多:她还没喝到半瓶,就发现自己的头顶已经碰到了天花板,她不得不弯下腰来以免折断脖子。

It did so indeed, and much sooner than she had expected: before she had drunk half the bottle, she found her head pressing against the ceiling, and had to stoop to save her neck from being broken.

她赶紧放下瓶子,自言自语说:「这就够了——我希望不要再长了——照现在这样,我连门都出不去了——我真希望没有喝那么多!」

She hastily put down the bottle, saying to herself "That's quite enough—I hope I shan't grow any more—As it is, I can't get out at the door—I do wish I hadn't drunk quite so much!"

哎呀!现在希望已经太晚了!

Alas! it was too late to wish that!

她继续长啊长啊,很快就不得不跪在地板上了:又过了一分钟,连这样做的空间都没有了,于是她试着躺下来,一只胳膊肘顶着门,另一只胳膊绕过头部蜷曲着。

She went on growing, and growing, and very soon had to kneel down on the floor: in another minute there was not even room for this, and she tried the effect of lying down with one elbow against the door, and the other arm curled round her head.

但她还在继续长大,作为最后的办法,她把一只胳膊伸出窗外,一只脚伸进烟囱,然后自言自语说:「现在无论发生什么,我都没办法了。我会变成什么样子呢?」

Still she went on growing, and, as a last resource, she put one arm out of the window, and one foot up the chimney, and said to herself "Now I can do no more, whatever happens. What _will_ become of me?
