1、【外国文学】爱丽丝镜中世界奇遇记Alices Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll 简介红方王后对爱丽丝说：“你可以充当白方王后前面的卒。卒第一步走两格。然后，你可以飞快地通过第三格可能乘火车。到了第四格，你会碰见特威丹、特威帝孪生兄弟。第五格大部分是水，第六格则是矮胖子的地盘。第七格全是森林马将做你的向导。”进入第八格，爱丽丝将变为王后。象棋可真是奇特的游戏！在镜中世界里，所有的象棋子儿都与你争吵；你得跑得飞快才能留在同一个地方。在这儿，时光倒转，白方王后忘不了两星期以后要发生的事情。这到底是谁的梦境？是爱丽丝的？还是她只是红方国王梦境中的一个角
2、色？如果是这样，红方国王一旦醒来，又会有什么事发生呢？作者刘易斯卡罗尔（真名为查尔斯道奇森）出生于1832年，于1898年逝世。他曾是牛津大学的数学教师。他为现实生活中一个名叫爱丽丝利德尔的小女孩写了爱丽丝漫游奇境记、爱丽丝镜中世界奇遇记两本书，它们是儿童读物中出色的名著。 1 Looking-glass houseOne thing was certain，it was the black kitten that began it all.The white kitten had been unable to do anything for the last quarter of an ho
3、ur，because the old cat was washing its face，very slowly and very carefullyBut the black kitten was free to do what it wantedAnd so，while Alice was sitting in a corner of the great armchair，half talking to herself and half asleep，the kitten was playing a grand game with a ball of woolSoon the wool wa

5、e ball up againWhy dont you play chess instead，Kitty？When I was playing a while ago，you were watching me so carefullyIn fact，you look just like the Red Queen yourselfAnd Alice picked up the Red Queen from the chessmen on the table，and held it up to show the kittenBut the kitten tried to escape，and，t
6、o punish it，Alice lifted it up to the looking-glass above the fireplaceIf youre not good，Kitty，she said，Ill put you through into looking-glass houseHow would you like that？I do wonder，Alice went on，if everything in that room is the same as in our roomThe things that I can see look the same-except th
7、e books，because the words go the wrong wayBut perhaps the rest of the house is really different and full of interesting thingsOh，I wish we could get through，Kitty！Lets pretend we canLets pretend the glass has gone soft andWhy，I do believe it has！Its turning into a kind of cloudAlice did not know how
8、 it happened，but while she was speaking，she found herself climbing up to the looking-glass And the glass was beginning to disappear，just like a bright silvery cloudIn another moment Alice was through the glass and had jumped down into the looking-glass roomAt once she began looking around and notice
9、d that several things were very different from the old roomThe pictures on the wall all seemed to be alive，and the clock above the fireplace had the face of a little old man，who smiled at herThis room isnt as tidy as the other one，Alice thought to herself，as she noticed several chessmen on the floor
10、 by the fireplaceBut the next moment， with a littleOh！of surprise，she was down on the floor herself，watching themThe chessmen were walking around， arm in arm！Here are the Red King and the Red Queen，Alice said，in a whisper，in order not to frighten themAnd there are two Castles walking togetherAnd two

12、 my child！ cried the White Queen by the fireplaceMy dear Lily！My sweet child！and she began to climb wildly up the table leg.Poor little Lily was now screaming loudlyAlice wanted to be helpful，so she picked up the Queen and put her on the table next to her noisy little daughterThe Queen sat very stil

Then she called down to the White King，who was still on the floor by the fireplaceBe careful of the storm！What storm？said the King，looking round worriedlyTheres a terrible wind-it blew me up here in a second You come up the usual way，and be careful！Alice wa
14、tched as the White King slowly began to climb the table legThen she said，It will take you hours to get up.Why dont I help you？Gently，she picked him up and moved him slowly upwards. The King was very surprised indeed. His eyes and his mouth got larger and larger，and rounder and rounder. Alice nearly
15、dropped him because she was laughing so muchWhen she put him down on the table， he immediately fell flat on his back and lay still. But after a while he sat up，andspoke to the Queen in a frightened whisperI tell you，my dear， I turned cold to the very ends of my hair！I shall never，never forget that m
16、omentYou will，the Queen said，if you dont write it downAlice watched with interest as the King took out a very large notebook and began writingThen she saw a book lying on the table near her，and began to turn the pagesIts all in some language that I dont know， she said to herselfIt was like thisPuzzl

19、all have to go back through the looking-glass before Ive seen the rest of the house，and the gardenIll look at the garden first，I thinkIn a moment she was out of the room and running down the stairsBut it wasnt really running， because she was moving gently through the air and her feet werent touching
20、 the stairs at allAt the bottom she managed to catch hold of the doorpost，and after that she was pleased to find herself walking again in a natural way 1 镜子屋小黑猫是这个故事的缘起，这是肯定的。小白猫什么事也干不了，因为，过去的一刻钟，他一直在慢悠悠地仔细地洗着自己的脸儿。相反，小黑猫却自由自在。爱丽丝坐在一张大扶手椅的角上，自言自语，睡意蒙眬，就在这当儿，小黑猫逗着一个毛线团儿，玩得正开心。过不多时，整个地毯全是一团糟的毛线，小黑猫在中间
21、追着自己的尾巴跑。爱丽丝看见毛线，叫了声“你这个小淘气！”她提起小黑猫，重又回到扶手椅上。接着又说：“你真不应该追着线团儿玩。要把它绕好，我要费多大功夫呀！小猫儿，干吗不下下棋？刚才我下棋，你一直在用心看我。其实，你外表活像红方王后。”爱丽丝从桌上棋子儿里拿了红方王后，举在空中给小黑猫看。但猫儿挣脱着想逃跑，爱丽丝就把它提到壁炉上方的镜子前，以示惩罚，并说：“猫儿，如果你不乖，我就让你穿透镜子，把你放到镜子屋去。你意下如何？”爱丽丝继续说：“我的确不知道那儿房间的摆设是否跟我们这儿的一个样子，我看得见的东西外形都没有什么两样-只是书不同，因为字体方向倒错。可能屋子的其他方面确有差别，而且有许多
22、好玩的东西。小猫，我们能到那儿去该多好！我们装作可以进到里面去。假设玻璃软化了化作了一团云，我真的信以为真了呢！”爱丽丝不明白这是怎么回事，但正在她说话的当儿，她发现自己正在往镜子上爬，镜子开始消失，就像银光闪闪的一朵云。片刻之后，爱丽丝钻入镜子，跳进了镜子屋。她马上环顾四周，注意到有好几件东西与刚才的迥然相异。墙壁上的画中物都会动，活生生的，壁炉上方的闹钟像小老头的脸，向她微笑。爱丽丝看见壁炉边地板上散落了几个棋子，想着，“这个房间没有刚才的整洁。”随后她发出了“哦”的一小声惊叹，坐在了地板上看着这些棋子。这些棋子儿手挽着手四处走动！为了不使他们害怕，爱丽丝轻声说：“红方国王与王后都在这儿，
23、还有两枚车并排走，两枚卒子，还有一枚白象在读报我想他们既听不见我，也看不见我。”她接着说：“我不清楚-”随后，她身后的桌子上传来响声。爱丽丝转身瞧了瞧，看见一只白卒在桌上摔了一跤，哭了起来。她端详着，感到很有意思。白方王后站在壁炉边，叫道：“那是我孩子的哭声！我可爱的百合！我的心肝宝贝！”然后拼命顺着桌腿往上爬。可怜的小百合这时哭喊得更响亮了。爱丽丝想帮点忙。她提起王后，把她放在她乱喊乱叫的小女儿旁边。王后坐在那儿，一动不动，张着嘴，持续了大约一分钟。然后她叫底下的白方国王：“当心风暴！”这时他正纹丝不动地站在壁炉旁边的地板上。“什么风暴？”国王不安地四处环顾，问道。“有一阵极其猛烈的风-一眨
24、眼功夫，就把我吹到了这儿来。你还是走原路，千万当心！”白方国王开始缓慢地往桌腿上爬，爱丽丝观望着。然后她说：“你爬上桌面得费几小时，为什么我不帮帮你呢？”她轻轻地把国王拎了起来，慢慢地往上移动。国王真是吃惊不小。眼睛、嘴巴张得越来越大，越来越圆。爱丽丝开怀大笑，差点儿松了手。她把国王放到了桌面上。他马上仰面平躺，一动不动。可是过了会儿，他坐了起来，受惊地轻声对王后说：“亲爱的，我确实怕得毛骨悚然！那片刻我永世也难忘。”王后说：“如果你不记下来，肯定会忘记的。”爱丽丝饶有兴趣地看着国王掏出了一本超大号笔记本并开始在上面写东西。她还看见旁边一张桌子上放着书，就随手翻了起来。她自言自语道：“用的语言
25、我一点都不懂。”其中有一首诗是这样写的：她看了一会儿，开始迷惑不解，随后茅塞顿开。“当然，这是本镜子世界的书！把它放在镜子前面，词儿就会恢复到正确的顺序上来。”下面是爱丽丝读到的诗：怪 兽烤晚餐肉时辰，粘柔的三不像怪兽围着日晷草坪转悠钻地洞；蓬头垢面的小鸟脆弱、发抖，绿猪迷路，又吼叫又吹哨又打喷嚏。爱丽丝说：“看起来是首好诗，但有点儿费解。”（其实，她一个字都不懂，但不愿意这么讲。）“这首诗好像把很多思想塞进了我的脑子，但那到底是些什么思想，又糊里糊涂。”说完，她突然跳了一下，另一个想法来到了心头。“如果我不赶紧点，就得穿过镜子走回去了。这样我就看不见镜子屋的其他地方，以及那个花园。我想还是先
26、看看花园吧。”不一会儿，她就出了房间往楼下跑。其实那不是真跑，因为她是在空气中轻轻地飘过，双足一点儿也没有触到楼梯。到了底层她握住门柱。之后她很高兴地发现她又能正常地走路了。 2 The garden of live flowersThere was a small hill not far away and Alice decided to walk to itI shall be able to see the garden better from the top of the hill，she saidShe tried very hard to reach the hill，but i
27、t seemed impossible to get to itShe went first this way，then that way，but every time she turned a corner，she found herself back at the houseIm not going in again yet，she told the house crosslyIll have to go back through the looking-glass into the old room and thats the end of all my adventures then！
28、She tried once more，and this time passed a large flowerbed，with a tree growing in the middleOh Tiger-lily，Alice said to one of the flowers，I wish you could talk！We can talk，said the Tiger-lily，if there is anybody interesting enough to talk toFor a minute Alice was too sur-prised to speakThen she sai
29、d，almost in a whisper，And can all the flowers talk？As well as you can，said the Tiger-lilyAnd a lot louderIt isnt polite for us to begin，you know，said the Rose，and I was really wondering when you would speakBut why can you all talk？Alice said，puzzledIve been in many gardens before，and none of the flo
30、wers could talkPut your hand down and feel the ground，said the Tiger-lilyThen youll know whyAlice did soIts very hard，she said，but how does that explain it？In most gardens，the Tiger-lily said，they make the flowerbeds too soft-so the flowers are always asleepThis sounded a very good reason to AliceI
31、never thought of that before！she saidDo you ever think at all？asked the Rose，unkindlyI never saw anybody with a more stupid face，said a Daisy suddenlyIt was the first time it had spoken，and Alice jumped in surpriseOh，be quiet！cried the Tiger-lilyWhat do you Daisies know about the world？Are there any
32、 other people in the garden？Alice askedTheres one other flower that can move around like you，said the RoseShes the same strange shape as you，but shes redder，with more leaves than you haveShes coming now！cried another DaisyI can hear her feet-bang，bang，bang，on the groundAlice looked round quickly，and
33、 saw that it was the Red QueenShes grown a lot，Alice thoughtWhen she had seen her by the fireplace，the Queen had been only eight cen-timetres highNow she was taller than Alice herself！I think Ill go and meet her，Alice saidYou cant possibly do that， said the RoseYou must walk the other way if you wan
34、t to meet herThis sounded nonsense to Alice，so she began to walk to-wards the Red QueenTo her surprise，she found herself a minute later walking in through the front door of the house.She turned round crossly，and saw the Queen again，on the other side of the gardenThis time she tried walking the other
35、 way，away from the Queen.It succeeded beautifullyA minute later she was standing opposite the Red Queen，and very near the hill that she had wanted to get toWhere do you come from？said the Red QueenWhere are you going？And why are you here at all？Look up，speak nicely，keep your hands stillAnd curtsy wh
36、ile youre think-ing what to sayIt saves timeAlice tried to obey all these orders，feeling just a little frightened of the QueenI only wanted to look at the garden，your Majesty，from the top of that hill，she beganHill！cried the QueenSome people would call that a valleyBut a hill cant be a valley， said
37、Alice.That would be nonsenseThe Red Queen shook her headYou can call it nonsense if you likeSome people would say it was sensible！Alice curtsied again，and decided it would be safer not to ar- gue any moreTogether，they walked on in silence up the hillAt the top Alice could see right across the countr
38、y-and a very strange country it wasThere were lots of little brooks running across from side to side，and there were long lines of hedges，going the other wayIt was a country of squaresIts just like a large chess-board！Alice said at lastOh， and I can see some chessmen down there！Her heart began to bea
39、t fast with excitementIts a great game of chess， as big as the world itself-if this is the world at allOh，what fun！ I wish I could be in it，even as a PawnAlthough I would love to be a Queen，of courseShe looked a little worriedly at the real Queen as she said thisBut the Red Queen smiled kindly， and
40、said，You can be the White Queens Pawn，if you likeLily is too young to playYoure in the Second Square now，and when you get to the Eighth Square，youll be a Queen-Just at that moment，they began to runAlice never did un-derstand how it happened，but she had no time to think about it because they were run
41、ning so fastFaster！Faster！cried the Queen，pulling Alices hand They ran like the wind，but the strange thing was that they never seemed to pass anythingThe trees and other things round them never changed their places at allAlice was very puzzled by this， but still the Queen cried，Faster！Faster！Now the
42、y were almost flying over the groundAlice had never run so fast in her lifeWhen at last they stopped，she had to sit down because her legs were shakingThen she looked around in surpriseBut weve been under this same tree all the time！ Were still in the same place！Of course we are，said the QueenWhy sho
43、uldnt we be？Well，in our country，said Alice，if you run very fast for a long time，you usually arrive at a different placeWhat a slow kind of country！said the QueenHere，you see，you have to run very fast，just to keep in the same placeIf you want to go somewhere different，you must run twice as fastNow，sh
44、e went on，I shall tell you what to doWhile Im speaking，I shall take five steps，and at the fifth step，I shall goShe took two steps away from the tree and turned roundA pawn goes two squares in its first moveSo youll go very quickly through the Third Square-by railway，probablyThen youll be in the Four
45、th Square，which belongs to Twee-dledum and TweedledeeThe Fifth Square is mostly water，and the Sixth belongs to Humpty DumptyBut why havent you said anything？I didnt know I had to say anything，said AliceIts polite，said the Queen，to say thank you for all this informationBut never mindLets pretend you
46、said itThe Seventh Square is all forest-one of the Knights will show you the way-and in the Eighth Square we shall be Queens together，and its all parties and fun！Alice got up and curtsied，and sat down againThe Queen took another two steps and turned round againSpeak in French when you cant think of the English word-and always remember who you are！She took another step，and was goneAlice did not know if she had disappeared into the air，or run into the woodBut she had certainly gone，and Alice began to remember that she was a Pawn，and that it would soon be time to move 2 会说话的花园不远处有座小山丘，爱丽丝决
