《爱丽丝梦游仙境》选段 作者：刘易斯·卡罗尔 插画：乔尔·斯奈德

In this classic story, Alice follows the white rabbit down a rabbit hole. She encounters many strange characters and adventures, including drinks that make her grow and food that makes her shrink. This part of the story begins when Alice once again catches up with the white rabbit, who seems to be in a very big hurry.

在这个经典故事里，爱丽丝跟着白兔跳进了兔子洞。 她遇到了好多奇怪的角色，经历了很多冒险，比如喝了药水会变大，吃了食物会缩小。 故事的这一段开始时，爱丽丝再一次追上了匆匆忙忙的白兔。

Very soon, the rabbit noticed Alice. He called to her in an angry tone. Why, Marianne, what are you doing here? Run home this moment and fetch me a pair of gloves and a fan. Quick, now! Alice was so frightened that she ran off at once in the direction he pointed without trying to explain the mistake he had made.

很快，白兔发现了爱丽丝。 他生气地对她喊道。 “怎么回事，玛丽安，你怎么在这儿？ “马上回家给我拿一副手套和一把扇子来。 “快去，别磨蹭！ 爱丽丝吓坏了，没来得及解释白兔认错了人，就顺着他指的方向跑走了。

He took me for his maid, she said to herself as she ran, but I'd better take him his fan and gloves, that is, if I can find them. As she said this, she came upon a neat little house. On the door was the name W. Rabbit. She went in without knocking and hurried upstairs. She was very afraid that she might meet with the real Marianne and be kicked out of the house. How strange it seems, Alice said to herself, to be running errands for a rabbit. I suppose my cat Dino will be sending me on errands next.

她一边跑一边想：他把我当成他的女仆了，我最好还是帮他把扇子和手套拿来，要是能找到的话。 正想着，她看到了一栋整洁的小房子。 门上写着名字“W.白兔”。 她没敲门就进去了，急急忙忙往楼上跑。 她特别害怕碰到真的玛丽安，被赶出房子。 爱丽丝心想，这可太奇怪了，我居然要给兔子跑腿。 我猜接下来我的猫咪迪诺都要使唤我跑腿了。

By this time, she had found her way into a tidy little room with a table by the window. On it was a fan and two or three pairs of tiny white gloves. She took the fan and gloves and was just going to leave when her eye fell upon a little bottle near the mirror. There was no label this time with the words, drink me. Nevertheless,

这时候，她已经走进了一间整洁的小房间，窗边放着一张桌子。 桌子上摆着一把扇子，还有两三双小小的白手套。 她拿起扇子和手套，刚要离开，目光落在了镜子旁边的一个小瓶子上。 这一次瓶子上没有写着“喝我”的标签。 不过，

It did indeed, and much sooner than she expected. Before she had drunk half the bottle, she found her head against the ceiling. She had to stoop to save her neck from being broken. She hastily put down the bottle, saying to herself, That's quite enough. I hope I won't grow any more. As it is, I can't get out the door. I do wish I hadn't drunk so much.

瓶子果然起作用了，而且比爱丽丝预想的快多了。 她才喝了半瓶，头就碰到天花板了。 她不得不弯下腰，生怕脖子被折断。 她赶紧放下瓶子，自言自语道：这已经够了。 希望我不要再变大了。 现在这样，我已经出不了门了。 真希望我刚才没喝这么多。
