Alice's Adventures in Wonderland — Page 4
"你老了,"年轻人说,"人们很难想象你的眼睛还能像从前一样稳定;可你却能在鼻尖上平衡一条鳗鱼——是什么让你如此聪明绝顶?"
"You are old," said the youth, "one would hardly suppose That your eye was as steady as ever; Yet you balanced an eel on the end of your nose—What made you so awfully clever?"
"我已经回答了三个问题,这就够了,"他的父亲说;"别摆架子了!你以为我能整天听这种废话吗?快走开,不然我就把你踢下楼去!"
"I have answered three questions, and that is enough," Said his father; "don't give yourself airs! Do you think I can listen all day to such stuff? Be off, or I'll kick you down stairs!"
"说得不对,"毛毛虫说。
"That is not said right," said the Caterpillar.
"恐怕不太对,"爱丽丝怯生生地说;"有些词改变了。"
"Not quite right, I'm afraid," said Alice, timidly; "some of the words have got altered."
"从头到尾都是错的,"毛毛虫断然说道,然后沉默了几分钟。
"It is wrong from beginning to end," said the Caterpillar decidedly, and there was silence for some minutes.
毛毛虫先开口说话。
The Caterpillar was the first to speak.
"你想变成什么大小?"它问道。
"What size do you want to be?" it asked.
"哦,我对大小并不挑剔,"爱丽丝赶忙回答;"只是人们不喜欢经常变来变去,你知道的。"
"Oh, I'm not particular as to size," Alice hastily replied; "only one doesn't like changing so often, you know."
"我不知道,"毛毛虫说。
"I don't know," said the Caterpillar.
爱丽丝什么也没说:她这辈子从来没有被这样反驳过,她觉得自己快要发脾气了。
Alice said nothing: she had never been so much contradicted in her life before, and she felt that she was losing her temper.
"你现在满意了吗?"毛毛虫说。
"Are you content now?" said the Caterpillar.
"嗯,我想稍微大一点,先生,如果您不介意的话,"爱丽丝说:"三英寸实在是个可怜的高度。"
"Well, I should like to be a little larger, sir, if you wouldn't mind," said Alice: "three inches is such a wretched height to be."
"这确实是个非常好的高度!"毛毛虫生气地说,说话时它直立起身子(它正好三英寸高)。
"It is a very good height indeed!" said the Caterpillar angrily, rearing itself upright as it spoke (it was exactly three inches high).
"但我还不习惯这个高度!
"But I'm not used to it!
