Alice did not dare to disobey, though she felt sure it would all come wrong, and she went on in a trembling voice:—
愛麗絲不敢違背，雖然她明知道一切都會弄錯的。她用發抖的聲音背道：
'I passed by his garden, and marked, with one eye,
“我經過她的花園，并且用一只眼睛看見，
How the Owl and the Panther were sharing a pie—'
豹子和貓頭鷹，正在把餡餅分餐。
The Panther took pie–crust, and gravy, and meat,
豹子分到了外皮、肉汁和肉餡，
While the Owl had the dish as its share of the treat.
貓頭鷹只分到了一個空盤。
When the pie was all finished, the Owl, as a boon,
在餡餅吃完以后，豹子仁慈地答應貓頭鷹，
Was kindly permitted to pocket the spoon:
把湯匙放它衣袋里作為禮物。
While the Panther received knife and fork with a growl,
而豹子自己發出一聲怒吼，把刀子和叉子通通拿走。
And concluded the banquet—]
在宴會的最后，它還……”
'What IS the use of repeating all that stuff,' the Mock Turtle interrupted, 'if you don't explain it as you go on? It's by far the most confusing thing I ever heard!'
這時素甲魚插嘴說道：“要是你不能一邊背一邊解釋，那么背這些胡說八道的東西有什么用？這是我聽到過的最亂七八糟的東西了。
'Yes, I think you'd better leave off,' said the Gryphon: and Alice was only too glad to do so.
“你最好停下來吧！”鷹頭獅說。愛麗絲實在太愿意這么辦了。
'Shall we try another figure of the Lobster Quadrille?' the Gryphon went on. 'Or would you like the Mock Turtle to sing you a song?'
“我們再跳一節龍蝦四組舞好嗎？”鷹頭獅繼續說，“或者，你愿意聽素甲魚給你唱支歌嗎？”
'Oh, a song, please, if the Mock Turtle would be so kind,' Alice replied, so eagerly that the Gryphon said, in a rather offended tone, 'Hm! No accounting for tastes! Sing her "Turtle Soup," will you, old fellow?'
“啊，請來一支歌吧，要是素甲魚愿意的話。”愛麗絲說得那么熱情，使得鷹頭獅用不高興的口氣說：“趣味太低了。老伙計，那你就給她唱支‘甲魚湯’，好嗎？”
The Mock Turtle sighed deeply, and began, in a voice sometimes choked with sobs, to sing this:—
素甲魚深深地嘆了一口氣，用一種經常被抽泣打斷的聲音唱道：
'Beautiful Soup, so rich and green,
“美味的湯，綠色的濃湯，
Waiting in a hot tureen!
在熱氣騰騰的蓋碗里裝。
Who for such dainties would not stoop?
誰不愿意嘗一嘗，這樣的好湯。
Soup of the evening, beautiful Soup!
晚餐用的湯，美味的湯，
Soup of the evening, beautiful Soup!
晚餐用的湯，美味的湯，
Beau—ootiful Soo—oop!
美……味的湯……湯！
Beau—ootiful Soo—oop!
美……味的湯……湯！
Soo—oop of the e—e—evening,
晚……晚……晚餐用的……湯，
Beautiful, beautiful Soup!
美味的，美味的湯！
'Beautiful Soup! Who cares for fish,
“美味的湯！有了它，誰還會再把魚想，
Game, or any other dish?
再想把野味和別的菜來嘗？
Who would not give all else for two
誰不最想嘗一嘗，
Pennyworth only of beautiful Soup?
兩便士（先令和便士是英國的貨幣單位，十二便士為一先令，二十先令為一英鎊。）一碗的好湯？
Pennyworth only of beautiful Soup?
兩便士一碗的好湯？
Beau—ootiful Soo—oop!
美……味的湯……湯！
Beau—ootiful Soo—oop!
美……味的湯……湯！
Soo—oop of the e—e—evening,
晚……晚……晚餐用的湯……湯，
Beautiful, beauti—FUL SOUP!'
美味的，美……味的湯！”
'Chorus again!' cried the Gryphon, and the Mock Turtle had just begun to repeat it, when a cry of 'The trial's beginning!' was heard in the distance.
“再來一遍合唱！”鷹頭獅叫道。素甲魚剛要開口，就聽到遠處叫道“審訊開始啦！”
'Come on!' cried the Gryphon, and, taking Alice by the hand, it hurried off, without waiting for the end of the song.
“走吧！”鷹頭獅叫道，它拉住了愛麗絲的手，也不等那支歌唱完，急忙跑了。
'What trial is it?' Alice panted as she ran; but the Gryphon only answered 'Come on!' and ran the faster, while more and more faintly came, carried on the breeze that followed them, the melancholy words:—Soup of the evening,beautiful, beauti—FUL SOUP!
“什么審訊呀？”愛麗絲一面跑一面喘著氣問，但是鷹頭獅只是說“走吧”。他跑得更快了。微風送來了越來越微弱的單調的歌詞：晚餐用的湯,美……味的湯！
