第七章 發瘋的茶會 5
This answer so confused poor Alice, that she let the Dormouse go on for some time without interrupting it.
這個回答把可憐的愛麗絲難住了，她好大沒打攪睡鼠，讓它一直講下去。
'They were learning to draw,' the Dormouse went on, yawning and rubbing its eyes, for it was getting very sleepy; 'and they drew all manner of things—everything that begins with an M—'
“她們學著畫畫，”睡鼠繼續說著，一邊打了個哈欠，又揉揉眼睛，已經非常困了，“她們畫各種各樣的東西，而每件東西都是用‘老’宇開頭的。”
'Why with an M?' said Alice.
“為什么用‘老’字開頭呢？”愛麗絲問。
'Why not?' said the March Hare.
“為什么不能呢？”三月兔說。
Alice was silent.
愛麗絲不吭氣了。
The Dormouse had closed its eyes by this time, and was going off into a doze; but, on being pinched by the Hatter, it woke up again with a little shriek, and went on: '—that begins with an M, such as mouse–traps, and the moon, and memory, and muchness—you know you say things are "much of a muchness"—did you ever see such a thing as a drawing of a muchness?'
這時候，睡鼠已經閉上了眼，打起盹來了，但是被帽匠捅了—下，它尖叫著醒來了，繼續講，“用‘老’字開頭的東西，例如老鼠籠子，老頭兒，還有老多。你常說老多東西，可是你怎么畫出這個—老多’來？”
'Really, now you ask me,' said Alice, very much confused, 'I don't think—'
“你問我嗎？”愛麗絲難住了，說，“我還沒想……”
'Then you shouldn't talk,' said the Hatter.
“那么你就不應該說話！”帽匠說。
This piece of rudeness was more than Alice could bear: she got up in great disgust, and walked off; the Dormouse fell asleep instantly, and neither of the others took the least notice of her going, though she looked back once or twice, half hoping that they would call after her: the last time she saw them, they were trying to put the Dormouse into the teapot.
這句話可使愛麗絲無法忍受了，于是她憤憤地站起來走了，睡鼠也立即睡著了。那兩個家伙一點也不注意愛麗絲的走掉。愛麗絲還回頭看了一兩次，指望他們能夠留她。后來她看見他們正要把睡鼠塞進茶壺里去。
'At any rate I'll never go THERE again!' said Alice as she picked her way through the wood. 'It's the stupidest tea–party I ever was at in all my life!'
“不管怎么說，我再也不去那里了，”愛麗絲在樹林中找路時說，“這是我見過的最愚蠢的茶會了。”
Just as she said this, she noticed that one of the trees had a door leading right into it. 'That's very curious!' she thought. 'But everything's curious today. I think I may as well go in at once.' And in she went.
就在她叨叨咕咕的時候，突然看到一棵樹上還有一個門，可以走進去。“真奇怪！”她想，“不過今天的每件事都很奇怪，還是進去看看吧。”想著就走進去了。
