试听180秒【正课】第1章 掉进兔子洞-04课

原文+译文 

Alice was not a bit hurt, and she jumped up on to her feet in a moment: she looked up, but it was all dark overhead; before her was another long passage, and the White Rabbit was still in sight, hurrying down it. There was not a moment to be lost: away went Alice like the wind, and was just in time to hear it say, as it turned a corner, ‘Oh my ears and whiskers, how late it’s getting!’ She was close behind it when she turned the corner, but the Rabbit was no longer to be seen: she found herself in a long, low hall, which was lit up by a row of lamps hanging from the roof. 

爱丽丝一点都没有受伤，一下子就从地上爬了起来。她抬起头来向上看看，黑洞洞的一片。她的面前是一条长长的通道，这时她又看到了那只白兔，正在急急忙忙的朝前跑。可没有时间磨磨蹭蹭了，爱丽丝像一阵风一样追了过去，刚好听到白兔在转弯的时候说道，“唉呀，我的耳朵和胡子呀，现在太迟了！” 在转弯的时候她还紧紧地跟在白兔后面，但一眨眼白兔就不见。爱丽丝发现自己来到了一个低矮的长长的大厅里，天花板上挂着一排灯，把大厅照亮。

There were doors all round the hall, but they were all locked; and when Alice had been all the way down one side and up the other, trying every door, she walked sadly down the middle, wondering how she was ever to get out again.

大厅四周全都是门，但全都锁着。爱丽丝顺着这边走一下，又顺着那边走一下，每扇门都去试一试，看看能否打开。最后她非常伤心地走到了大厅中间，不知道该怎么出去。

Suddenly she came upon a little three-legged table, all made of solid glass; there was nothing on it except a tiny golden key, and Alice’s first thought was that it might belong to one of the doors of the hall; but, alas! either the locks were too large, or the key was too small, but at any rate it would not open any of them. However, on the second time round, she came upon a low curtain she had not noticed before, and behind it was a little door about fifteen inches high: she tried the little golden key in the lock, and to her great delight it fitted!

突然爱丽丝看见一张三条腿的小桌子，小桌子是用非常结实的玻璃做的。桌子上有一把小小的金钥匙，除此之外什么都没有了。爱丽丝首先想到的就是，这把钥匙应该能打开大厅里面的一扇门。然而，哎，要么是锁太大，要么是钥匙太小，反正哪扇门都打不开。然而，在绕第二圈的时候，她突然发现了刚才没注意到的一个低低的窗帘，窗帘后面有一扇大概15英寸高的小门。她把小小的金钥匙往锁眼里一插，高兴极了，大小正好合适！

Alice opened the door and found that it led into a small passage, not much larger than a rat-hole: she knelt down and looked along the passage into the loveliest garden you ever saw. How she longed to get out of that dark hall, and wander about among those beds of bright flowers and those cool fountains, but she could not even get her head though the doorway; ‘and even if my head would go through,’ thought poor Alice, ‘it would be of very little use without my shoulders. Oh, how I wish I could shut up like a telescope! I think I could, if I only know how to begin.’ For, you see, so many out-of-the-way things had happened lately, that Alice had begun to think that very few things indeed were really impossible.

爱丽丝打开门，发现门外是一个小小的通道，比老鼠洞也大不了多少。她跪下来，顺着通道向前望去，看到了一个极其漂亮的花园。她多么希望能够离开这个黑暗的大厅，到那些姹紫嫣红的花圃间，还有那清凉宜人的喷泉间去漫步啊！可是门太小了，连头都伸不过去。“就算我的头过去了，”可怜的爱丽丝想，“没有肩膀也不行啊。我要是能像望远镜那样缩小就好了！我相信是有办法做到的，只要我知道该怎么开头就可以了。”你看，爱丽丝近来见到了这么多稀奇古怪的事情，已经开始觉得没什么事是办不到的了。
