Alice'sAdventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll单词提示1.whiskers 原文Chapter 1: Down The Rabbit HoleAlicewas beginning to get very bored.She and hersister were sitting under the trees.Her sister wasreading, but Alice had nothing to do.Once or twice,she looked into her sister's book, but it had no pictures or conversations init.“And what isthe use of book,” thought Alice, “without pictures or conversations?”She tried tothink of something to do, but it was a hot day and she felt very sleepy andstupid.She was stillsitting and thinking, when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran past her.There wasnothing really strange about seeing a rabbit, and Alice was not very surprisedwhen the rabbit said, “oh dear, oh dear, I shall be late.”“Perhaps itwas a little strange,” Alice thought later, but at the time she was notsurprised.But then therabbit took a watch out of its pocket, looked at it, and hurried on.At once, Alicejumped to her feet.“I've neverbefore seen a rabbit with either a pocket or a watch to take out of it,” shethought, and she ran quickly across the field after the rabbit.She did notstop to think, and when the rabbit ran down a large rabbit hole, Alice followedit immediately.After a littleway, the rabbit hole suddenly went down deep into the ground.Alice couldnot stop herself falling and down she went to.It was a verystrange hole, Alice was falling very slowly, and she had time to think and tolook around her.She could seenothing below her, because it was so dark.But when shelooked at the sides of the hole, she could see cupboards and books and pictureson the walls.She had timeto take things out of a cupboard, look at them, and then put them back in acupboard lower down.“Well,”thought Alice, “After a fall like this, I can fall anywhere. I can falldownstairs at home, and I won't cry or say a word about it.”“Down, down,down. How far have I fallen now?” Alice said aloud to herself, “Perhaps I'mnear the center of the earth, let me think that's 4000 miles down.”Alice was verygood at her school lessons and could remember a lot of things like this.Down, down,down. Would she ever stop falling?Alice was verynearly asleep when suddenly she was sitting on the ground.Quickly shejumped to her feet and looked around.She could seethe White Rabbit, who was hurrying away and still talking to himself.“Oh, my earsand whiskers, he was saying, ‘how late it's getting’. ”Alice ranafter him like the wind.She wasgetting very near him, when he suddenly turned a corner.Alice ranround the corner too, and then stopped.She was now ina long, dark room with doors all-round the walls, and she could not see the WhiteRabbit anywhere.She tried toopen the doors, but they were all locked.“How will Iever get out again?” she thought sadly.Then she saw alittle glass table with three legs, and on the top of it was a very small goldkey.Alice quicklytook the key and tried it in all the doors, but oh dear, either the locks weretoo big or the key was too small, but she could not open any of the doors.Then she sawanother door, a door that was only 40 centimeters high.The littlegold key unlocked this door easily, but of course Alice could not get throughit.She was muchtoo big, so she lay on the floor and looked through the open door into abeautiful garden with green trees and bright flowers.Poor Alice wasvery unhappy.“What awonderful garden,” she said to herself, “I'd like to be out there, not in thisdark room. Why can't I get smaller?”Itwas already a very strange day, and Alice was beginning to think that anythingwas possible.After a while,she locked the door again, got up and went back to the glass table.She put thekey down, and then she saw a little bottle on the table.“I'm sure itwasn't here before,” said Alice.Round the neckof the bottle was a piece of paper with the words “Drink Me” in large letters.But Alice wasa careful girl.“It can bedangerous to drink out of strange bottles,” she said, “What will it do to me?”She drank alittle bit very slowly.The taste wasvery nice, like chocolate and oranges and hot sweet coffee.And very soon,Alice finished the bottle.“What astrange feeling,” said Alice, “I think I'm getting smaller and smaller everysecond.”And she was.A few minuteslater, she was only 25 centimeters high.And now, shesaid happily, “I can get through the little door into that beautiful garden.”She ran atonce to the door.When she gotthere, she remembered that the little gold key was back on the glass table.She ran backto the table for it, but of course she was now much too small.There was thekey high above her on top of the table.She tried veryhard to climb up the table leg, but she could not do it.At last, tiredand unhappy, Alice sat down on the floor and cried.But after awhile, she spoke to herself angrily, “Come, now.”She said, “Stopcrying at once. What's the use of crying?”She was astrange child and often talked to herself like this.Soon, she sawa little glass box near her on the floor.She opened itand found a very small cake with the words “Eat Me” on it.Nothing couldsurprise Alice now.“Well, I'lleat it,” she said, “If I get taller, I can take the key off the table. And if Iget smaller, I can get under the door. One way or another? I'll get into thegarden, so it doesn't matter what happens.”She ate a bitof the cake and then put her hand on top of her head.“Which way,which way?” she asked herself a little afraid.Nothinghappened.This was notreally surprising.People don'tusually get taller or shorter when they eat cake, but a lot of strange thingswere happening to Alice today.“It will bevery boring,” she said, “If nothing happens.”So she went oneating and very soon the cake was finished.翻译第一章：跌入兔子洞爱丽斯开始感到非常无聊。她和她的姐姐正坐在树下。她的姐姐在看书，而爱丽斯却无事可做。她曾几次看向姐姐的书，但那本书里既没有插图也没有对话。“书有什么用呢？”爱丽斯心想，“如果没有插图和对话，那还有什么意义呢？”她试图想出点事情来做，但这是个炎热的天气，她感到非常困倦和愚蠢。她依旧坐着思考，突然一只长着粉红色眼睛的白兔从她身边跑过。看到一只兔子本身并没有什么特别的，当这只兔子说“哎呀，哎呀，我要迟到了”时，爱丽斯也没有太惊讶。“也许这有点奇怪，”爱丽斯后来想，但当时她并不感到惊讶。然后这只兔子从口袋里拿出一块表看了看，就匆匆赶路了。立刻，爱丽斯跳了起来。“我以前从未见过长着口袋和手表还能拿出来使用的兔子，”她心想，然后她迅速穿过田野追着兔子跑。她没有停下来思考，当兔子跑进一个巨大的兔子洞时，爱丽斯立刻跟了上去。走了没多远，兔子洞就突然向下深入地下了。爱丽丝忍不住往下坠去。这是一个非常奇怪的洞，爱丽丝缓缓地往下坠，有时间思考和环顾四周。她看不到下面的情况，因为太黑了。但当她看向洞壁时，她能看到橱柜、书籍和图画。她有时间从一个橱柜里拿出东西，看一看，然后再放回去放到更低的橱柜里。“嗯，”爱丽丝想，“像这样坠落之后，我可能会坠到任何地方。我可以在家楼下坠落，而且不会哭也不会说一句话。”“往下，往下，往下。我现在已经坠落了多远了？”爱丽丝自言自语道，“也许我接近地球的中心了，让我想想，那是地下 4000 英里。”爱丽丝在学校的学习成绩很好，能记住很多这样的事情。往下，往下，往下。她会停止坠落吗？爱丽丝几乎要睡着了，突然她坐在了地上。她迅速跳起身来，环顾四周。她能看到那只白兔，它正匆匆离去，还在自言自语。“哦，我的耳朵和胡须，”他说道，“天都这么晚了。”爱丽丝像风一样追着他跑。她越来越接近他了，这时他突然拐了个弯。爱丽丝也绕过那个弯，然后停了下来。她现在身处一个长长的、黑暗的房间里，四周的墙壁上都有门，而她哪儿也找不到那只白兔的踪影。她试图打开那些门，但它们全都锁着。“我怎么才能再出去呢？”她悲伤地想。然后她看到一张有三个腿的小玻璃桌子，桌子上放着一把非常小的金钥匙。爱丽丝迅速拿起那把钥匙，试着把它插进所有的门里，但哎呀，要么锁太大了，要么钥匙太小了，任何一扇门都打不开。然后她看到了另一扇门，这扇门只有 40 厘米高。那把小金钥匙轻松地打开了这扇门，但当然爱丽丝无法通过它。她太大了，所以她躺在地板上，透过敞开的门望向外面一个美丽的花园，里面有绿色的树木和鲜艳的花朵。可怜的爱丽丝非常不开心。“多么美妙的花园啊，”她自言自语道，“我想去外面，而不是待在这个黑暗的房间里。为什么我不能变小呢？”这一天已经变得非常奇怪了，爱丽丝开始觉得任何事情都有可能发生。过了一会儿，她再次锁上了门，起身回到玻璃桌旁。她把钥匙放好，然后看到桌上有一个小瓶子。“我敢肯定之前它不在这里，”爱丽丝说道。瓶子的颈部有一张纸，上面用大字写着“喝我”。但爱丽丝是个细心的女孩。“喝陌生的瓶子里的东西可能会很危险，”她说，“这会对我有什么影响呢？”她慢慢地喝了一点。味道非常好，像巧克力、橙子和热香甜的咖啡。很快，爱丽丝就喝完了那瓶东西。“这是一种多么奇怪的感觉啊，”爱丽丝说道，“我觉得每秒钟我都在变得越来越小。”事实也的确如此。几分钟后，她只有 25 厘米高了。现在，她高兴地说道：“我可以穿过那个小门进入那个美丽的花园了。”她立刻跑向那扇门。当她到达那里时，她想起那把小金钥匙又回到了玻璃桌上。她跑回桌子去拿它，但此时她已经变得太小了。钥匙高高地放在桌子的顶端。她竭力想要爬上桌腿，但还是没能成功。最后，她疲惫又沮丧地坐在地板上哭了起来。但过了一会儿，她生气地自言自语道：“好了，现在停下吧。”她说：“立刻停止哭泣。哭有什么用呢？”她是个古怪的孩子，经常像这样自言自语。很快，她看到地板上靠近自己处有一个小玻璃盒子。她打开盒子，发现里面有一块很小的蛋糕，上面写着“吃我”。现在，没有什么能让她感到惊讶了。“好吧，我吃它吧。”她说，“如果我长高了，就能把桌上的钥匙取下来。如果我变小了，就能从门底下钻过去。不管怎样？反正我都能进入花园，所以不管发生什么都没关系。”她吃了点蛋糕，然后把手放在头顶上。“哪条路，哪条路？”她有点害怕地自言自语道。什么也没发生。这其实并不令人惊讶。人们一般吃蛋糕后身高不会变高或变矮，但今天艾丽斯身上却发生了很多奇怪的事情。“要是什么都没发生的话，那可就太无聊了。”她说。于是她继续吃着蛋糕，很快蛋糕就被吃完了。
