Alice's Adventures in Wonderland — Page 5
"这就说得通了,"帽匠说。"他不肯忍受敲打。现在,如果你只要跟他保持良好关系,他几乎会为你做任何你想让时钟做的事。"
"that accounts for it," said the Hatter. "He won't stand beating. Now, if you only kept on good terms with him, he'd do almost anything you liked with the clock."

(pointing with his tea spoon at the March Hare,) "—it was at the great concert given by the Queen of Hearts, and I had to sing"
"你也许知道这首歌?"
"You know the song, perhaps?"
