牛津書蟲系列 愛(ài)麗絲鏡中世界奇遇記 12 Who dreamed it？

12.誰(shuí)做的夢(mèng)?

‘You shouldn't be so noisy，Your Majesty，’Alicesaid to the black kitten.‘You've woken me outof a very nice dream. I've been all through the looking-glassworld.And I think that you were the Red Queen， weren'tyou?’

愛(ài)麗絲對(duì)黑貓說(shuō)：“你不該這么吵，陛下，你把我從一個(gè)美夢(mèng)中吵醒。我已漫游了整個(gè)鏡中世界。我想你是紅方王后，不是嗎?”

It is impossible to guess if a kitten is saying ‘yes’ or ‘no’.Alice looked among the chessmen on the table until she foundthe Red Queen.Then she sat on the carpet and put the kittenand the Queen to look at each other.

要揣測(cè)小貓的回答是“是”，還是“否”是不可能的。愛(ài)麗絲看著桌上的棋子，直到她找到了紅方王后。然后她坐在地毯上，把小貓與王后擺在一起，互相對(duì)視。

‘Curtsy while you're thinking what to say，’Alice said，with a little laugh.‘It saves time，remember!’

“考慮話題前要先行個(gè)禮。別忘了，這樣會(huì)節(jié)省時(shí)間!”愛(ài)麗絲微笑了一下說(shuō)。

But the kitten turned its head away and wouldn't look at theQueen.

但小貓扭轉(zhuǎn)了頭，不愿正面看王后。

‘Now， Kitty，’Alice went on，‘who was it who dreamed itall，do you think?No，listen-don't start washing your pawsnow.You see，Kitty，it was either me or the Red King.Hewas part of my dream，of course-but then I was part of hisdream too! Was it the Red King，Kitty?’

愛(ài)麗絲接著說(shuō)：“好了，小貓，你認(rèn)為是誰(shuí)做了這一場(chǎng)夢(mèng)?不，聽(tīng)著--現(xiàn)在別洗爪子了。小貓你也清楚，不是我就是紅方國(guó)王。他當(dāng)然是我夢(mèng)中的一部分--然而，我也是他夢(mèng)中的一部分!是紅方國(guó)王嗎，小貓?”

But the kitten began to wash its other paw，and pretended ithadn't heard the question.

但小貓開(kāi)始洗另一只爪子，裝作沒(méi)聽(tīng)見(jiàn)。
