Chapter 1 Down the Rabbit-Hole

Presently she began again. ‘I wonder if I shall fall right through the earth! How funny it’ll seem to come out among the people that walk with their heads downward! The Antipathies, I think –’ (she was rather glad there wasno one listening, this time, as it didn’t sound at all the right word) ‘--but I shall have to ask them what the name of the country is, you know. Please, Ma’am, is this New Zealand or Australia?’ (and she tried to curtsey as she spoke--fancy curtseying as you’re falling through the air! Do you think you could manage it?) ‘And what an ignorant little girl she’ll think me for asking! No, it’ll never do to ask: perhaps I shall see it written up somewhere.’

不一会儿，她又开始自言自语了“不知道我会不会直接穿过地球呢，到那些头朝下走路的人们那里，那该多有趣呀，我想，这叫做对拓人吧。” （爱丽丝很高兴，没有人听她说话，因为“对拓人”这个词好像不太对。）“我想我应该问问他们这个国家叫什么名字，请问，太太，这是新西兰还是澳大利亚？”

（她一边说，一边试着行了个屈膝礼—想象一下，在坠落的过程中行屈膝礼，你觉得自己能做到吗？）“如果我这样问的话，她一定会认为我是一个无知的小女孩！不，我我绝不能这样问，也许我会看到它写在什么地方。”

Down, down, down. There was nothing else to do, so Alice soon began talking again. ‘Dinah’ll miss me very much to-night, I should think!’; (Dinah was the cat.) ‘I hope they’ll remember her saucer of milk at tea-time. Dinah my dear! I wish you were down here with me! There are no mice in the air, I’m afraid, but you might catch a bat, and that’s very like a mouse, you know. But do cats eat bats, I wonder?’ And here Alice began to get rather sleepy, and went on saying to herself, in a dreamy sort of way, ‘Do cats eat bats? Do cats eat bats?’; and sometimes, ‘Do bats eat cats?’; for, you see, as she couldn’t answer either question, it didn’t much matter which way she put it. She felt that she was dozing off, and had just begun to dream that she was walking hand in hand with Dinah, and saying to her very earnestly, ‘Now, Dinah, tell me the truth: did you ever eat a bat?’ when suddenly, thump! thump! down she came upon a heap of sticks and dry leaves, and the fall was over.

掉啊，掉啊，掉啊。除此之外也没什么别的事情可做，于是爱丽丝又开始自言自语了，“我想黛娜今天晚上一定会非常想我，”（黛娜是猫的名字）“希望他们会在喝茶的时候给她端一盘牛奶。亲爱的黛娜，真希望你现在能和我在一起！空中是没有老鼠的，但是你可以抓蝙蝠呀，蝙蝠跟老鼠可是很像的。但是猫吃蝙蝠吗？”爱丽丝开始感到困倦了，用昏昏欲睡的语气继续喃喃自语道，“猫吃蝙蝠吗？猫吃蝙蝠吗？”有时又会说成，“蝙蝠吃猫吗？”你也知道，反正她这两个问题都回答不了，所以，正着问反着问也就无所谓了。她觉得自己快要睡着了，开始梦到自己和黛娜在手拉手的散步，她很诚恳地对黛娜说，“黛娜，说实话，你吃过蝙蝠吗？” 突然砰砰两声，她跌到一大堆的树枝和枯叶上，坠落终于停止了。
