Alice's Adventures in Wonderland — Page 7
由于似乎没有办法把手举到头上,她试着把头低下去够到手,并高兴地发现她的脖子可以像蛇一样轻易地朝任何方向弯曲。
As there seemed to be no chance of getting her hands up to her head, she tried to get her head down to them, and was delighted to find that her neck would bend about easily in any direction, like a serpent.
她刚刚成功地把脖子弯成了一个优美的之字形,正要俯冲到树叶中间——她发现那些树叶不过是她一直在下面徘徊的树顶——这时一声尖锐的嘶嘶声让她急忙缩了回来:一只大鸽子飞到了她脸上,正用翅膀猛烈地拍打她。
She had just succeeded in curving it down into a graceful zigzag, and was going to dive in among the leaves, which she found to be nothing but the tops of the trees under which she had been wandering, when a sharp hiss made her draw back in a hurry: a large pigeon had flown into her face, and was beating her violently with its wings.
"蛇!"鸽子尖叫道。
"Serpent!" screamed the Pigeon.
"我不是蛇!"爱丽丝愤怒地说。"别烦我!"
"I'm _not_ a serpent!" said Alice indignantly. "Let me alone!"
"我再说一遍,蛇!"鸽子重复道,但语气温和了一些,并带着一种抽泣的声音补充道,"我试过各种办法,但似乎没有什么能让它们满意!"
"Serpent, I say again!" repeated the Pigeon, but in a more subdued tone, and added with a kind of sob, "I've tried every way, and nothing seems to suit them!"
"我完全不知道你在说什么。"爱丽丝说。
"I haven't the least idea what you're talking about," said Alice.
"我试过树根,我试过河岸,我也试过树篱,"鸽子继续说道,根本不理会她,"但那些蛇!没法让它们满意!"
"I've tried the roots of trees, and I've tried banks, and I've tried hedges," the Pigeon went on, without attending to her; "but those serpents! There's no pleasing them!"
爱丽丝越来越困惑了,但她觉得在鸽子说完之前再说什么也没用。
Alice was more and more puzzled, but she thought there was no use in saying anything more till the Pigeon had finished.
"孵蛋已经够麻烦的了,"鸽子说,"但我还必须日日夜夜提防着蛇!"
"As if it wasn't trouble enough hatching the eggs," said the Pigeon; "but I must be on the look-out for serpents night and day!"
