Alice's Adventures in Wonderland — Page 6
王后用雷鸣般的声音喊道,人们开始四处奔跑,互相撞在一起;不过,他们在一两分钟内就安顿下来,游戏开始了。
" shouted the Queen in a voice of thunder, and people began running about in all directions, tumbling up against each other; however, they got settled down in a minute or two, and the game began.
爱丽丝觉得她一生中从未见过如此奇特的槌球场;到处都是隆起和沟壑;球是活刺猬,球槌是活火烈鸟,士兵们必须把自己弯成两折,用手脚站立,来做成球门。
Alice thought she had never seen such a curious croquet-ground in her life; it was all ridges and furrows; the balls were live hedgehogs, the mallets live flamingoes, and the soldiers had to double themselves up and to stand on their hands and feet, to make the arches.
爱丽丝起初发现最大的困难是控制她的火烈鸟:她成功地把它的身体舒适地塞在胳膊下,腿垂下来,但通常,就在她好不容易把它的脖子拉直,准备用它的头去击打刺猬时,它偏要扭过身来看着她的脸,带着如此困惑的表情,使她忍不住大笑起来。
The chief difficulty Alice found at first was in managing her flamingo: she succeeded in getting its body tucked away, comfortably enough, under her arm, with its legs hanging down, but generally, just as she had got its neck nicely straightened out, and was going to give the hedgehog a blow with its head, it _would_ twist itself round and look up in her face, with such a puzzled expression that she could not help bursting out laughing.
而当她把它的头压下去,准备重新开始时,却很恼人地发现刺猬已经展开身体,正在爬走;除此之外,无论她想把刺猬打到哪里,通常都有一道隆起或沟壑挡在路上,而且,由于那些弯成两折的士兵总是站起来走到场地的其他地方,爱丽丝很快得出结论,这确实是一场非常困难的游戏。
and when she had got its head down, and was going to begin again, it was very provoking to find that the hedgehog had unrolled itself, and was in the act of crawling away: besides all this, there was generally a ridge or furrow in the way wherever she wanted to send the hedgehog to, and, as the doubled-up soldiers were always getting up and walking off to other parts of the ground, Alice soon came to the conclusion that it was a very difficult game indeed.
