“Dinah will miss me very much tonight， 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？”
“我敢肯定，黛娜今晚一定非常想念我。”（黛娜是只猫）“我希望他们在午茶时间别忘了给她准备一碟牛奶。黛娜，我亲爱的，我真希望你和我一起掉到这里来，恐怕路上没有你吃的小老鼠，不过你也许能捉到一只蝙蝠，你知道的，它很像老鼠。可是猫吃不吃蝙蝠呢？”
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？” you see， as she couldn’t answer either question， it didn’t much matter which way she put it.
这时，爱丽丝开始瞌睡了，她困得迷迷糊糊时还在说：“猫吃蝙蝠吗？猫吃蝙蝠吗？”有时又说：“蝙蝠吃猫吗？”反正这两个问题她都回答不出来，所以，她说成哪种都没关系。
“Come， there’s no use in crying like that！” said Alice to herself， rather sharply， “I advise you to leave off this minute！” She generally gave herself very good advice（though she very seldom followed it）， and sometimes she scolded herself so severely （严厉地） as to bring tears into her eyes.
“振作起来，哭是没用的！”爱丽丝尖刻地地对自己说，“我命令你马上停止哭！”她经常爱给自己下个命令（虽然她很少听从这种命令），有时甚至严厉得都把自己骂哭了。
Soon her eyes fell on a little glass box that was lying under the table. She opened it， and found in it a very small cake， on which the words “EAT ME” were beautifully marked in currants （葡萄干）. “Well， I’ll eat it，” said Alice， “and if it makes me grow larger， I can reach the key； and if it makes me grow smaller， I can creep （爬行） under the door； so either way I’ll get into the garden， and I don’t care which happens！”
不一会儿，她的眼光落在桌子下面的一个小玻璃盒上。打开一看，里面有块很小的点心，点心上用葡萄干精致地嵌着“吃我”两个字，“好吧，我吃了它吧，”爱丽丝说，“如果它使我变大，我就能够着钥匙了；如果它使我变得更小，我就可以从门缝下面钻过去，所以无论变大还是变小，我都能到花园去了。怎么变我都不在乎。”
“Curiouser and curiouser！” cried Alice， “Now I’m opening out like the largest telescope that ever was！ Good-bye， feet！” （for when she looked down at her feet， they seemed to be almost out of sight， they were getting so far off）. “Oh， my poor little feet， I wonder who will put on your shoes and stockings for you now， dears？ I’m sure I shan’t be able！ I shall be a great deal too far off to trouble myself about you. You must manage the best way you can.
“奇怪啊真奇怪，”爱丽丝喊道，“现在我一定是变得跟最大的望远镜一样大了。再见了，我的双脚！”（她俯视自己的双脚，它们远得快看不见了）。“哦，我的可怜的小脚哟！以后谁来给你们穿袜子穿鞋子呢，亲爱的，我肯定是不可能了，我离你们太远了，没法再照顾你们了，以后你们还是自己想办法吧！
“Not like cats！” cried the Mouse， in a shrill （尖锐的）， passionate voice. “Would you like cats if you were me？”
“Well， perhaps not，” said Alice in a soothing （抚慰的） tone， “don’t be angry about it. And yet I wish I could show you our cat Dinah. I think you’d take a fancy to cats if you could only see her. She is such a dear quiet thing，” Alice went on， half to herself， as she swam lazily about in the pool， “and she sits purring so nicely by the fire， licking her paws （爪子） and washing her face—and she is such a nice soft thing to nurse—and she’s such a capital one for catching mice—oh， I beg your pardon！” cried Alice again， for this time the Mouse was bristling （毛发竖立） all over， and she felt certain it must be really offended. “We won’t talk about her any more if you’d rather not.”
“不喜欢猫！”老鼠激动地尖叫着，“假如你是我的话，你会喜欢猫吗？”
“可能不会吧，”爱丽丝安慰他说，“别生我的气。可我还是希望能给你看看我的猫——黛娜，只要你一看到她，就会立刻喜欢猫了。她是个多么可爱而又安静的小东西呀。”爱丽丝一面懒散地游着，一面自言自语道，“她舒服地卧在火炉边，发出咕噜咕噜的声音，还不时地舔舔爪子，洗洗脸，摸起来柔软得可爱。还有，她抓老鼠的功夫真是棒极了！哎呀，请原谅我！”这时老鼠气得毛发竖立。爱丽丝知道自己肯定是冒犯到他了，“要是你不高兴的话，咱们就不说她了。”
