The King and Queen of Hearts were seated on their throne when they arrived, with a great crowd assembled about them -- all sorts of little birds and beasts, as well as the whole pack of cards: the Knave was standing before them, in chains, with a soldier on each side to guard him; and near the King was the White Rabbit, with a trumpet in one hand, and a scroll of parchment in the other. In the very middle of the court was a table, with a large dish of tarts upon it: they looked so good, that it made Alice quite hungry to look at them --'I wish they'd get the trial done,' she thought, 'and hand round the refreshments!' But there seemed to be no chance of this, so she began looking at everything about her, to pass away the time.

The judge, by the way, was the King; and as he wore his crown over the wig, he did not look at all comfortable, and it was certainly not becoming.
查看中文翻译
Alice had never been in a court of justice before, but she had read about them in books, and she was quite pleased to find that she knew the name of nearly everything there. 'That's the judge,' she said to herself, 'because of his great wig.'
查看中文翻译
'Stupid things!' Alice began in a loud, indignant voice, but she stopped hastily, for the White Rabbit cried out, 'Silence in the court!' and the King put on his spectacles and looked anxiously round, to make out who was talking.
查看中文翻译
'They're putting down their names,' the Gryphon whispered in reply, 'for fear they should forget them before the end of the trial.'
查看中文翻译
Alice could see, as well as if she were looking over their shoulders, that all the jurors were writing down 'stupid things!' on their slates, and she could even make out that one of them didn't know how to spell 'stupid,' and that he had to ask his neighbour to tell him. 'A nice muddle their slates'll be in before the trial's over!' thought Alice.
查看中文翻译
'And that's the jury-box,' thought Alice, 'and those twelve creatures,' (she was obliged to say 'creatures,' you see, because some of them were animals, and some were birds,) 'I suppose they are the jurors.' She said this last word two or three times over to herself, being rather proud of it: for she thought, and rightly too, that very few little girls of her age knew the meaning of it at all. However, 'jury-men' would have done just as well.
查看中文翻译
The twelve jurors were all writing very busily on slates. 'What are they doing?' Alice whispered to the Gryphon. 'They can't have anything to put down yet, before the trial's begun.'
查看中文翻译
One of the jurors had a pencil that squeaked. This of course, Alice could not stand, and she went round the court and got behind him, and very soon found an opportunity of taking it away. She did it so quickly that the poor little juror (it was Bill, the Lizard) could not make out at all what had become of it; so, after hunting all about for it, he was obliged to write with one finger for the rest of the day; and this was of very little use, as it left no mark on the slate.
查看中文翻译
'Herald, read the accusation!' said the King.
查看中文翻译
On this the White Rabbit blew three blasts on the trumpet, and then unrolled the parchment scroll, and read as follows:--
查看中文翻译
'Not yet, not yet!' the Rabbit hastily interrupted. 'There's a great deal to come before that!'
查看中文翻译
'The Queen of Hearts, she made some tarts, All on a summer day: The Knave of Hearts, he stole those tarts, And took them quite away!'
查看中文翻译
'Consider your verdict,' the King said to the jury.
查看中文翻译
'Call the first witness,' said the King; and the White Rabbit blew three blasts on the trumpet, and called out, 'First witness!'
查看中文翻译
'I keep them to sell,' the Hatter added as an explanation; 'I've none of my own. I'm a hatter.'
查看中文翻译
'Sixteenth,' added the Dormouse.
查看中文翻译
The Hatter looked at the March Hare, who had followed him into the court, arm-in-arm with the Dormouse. 'Fourteenth of March, I think it was,' he said.
查看中文翻译
'Stolen!' the King exclaimed, turning to the jury, who instantly made a memorandum of the fact.
查看中文翻译
'Take off your hat,' the King said to the Hatter.
查看中文翻译
Here the Queen put on her spectacles, and began staring at the Hatter, who turned pale and fidgeted.
查看中文翻译
The first witness was the Hatter. He came in with a teacup in one hand and a piece of bread-and-butter in the other. 'I beg pardon, your Majesty,' he began, 'for bringing these in: but I hadn't quite finished my tea when I was sent for.'
查看中文翻译
'It isn't mine,' said the Hatter.
查看中文翻译
'Write that down,' the King said to the jury, and the jury eagerly wrote down all three dates on their slates, and then added them up, and reduced the answer to shillings and pence.
查看中文翻译
'Fifteenth,' said the March Hare.
查看中文翻译
'You ought to have finished,' said the King. 'When did you begin?'
查看中文翻译
This did not seem to encourage the witness at all: he kept shifting from one foot to the other, looking uneasily at the Queen, and in his confusion he bit a large piece out of his teacup instead of the bread-and-butter.
查看中文翻译
'Give your evidence,' said the King; 'and don't be nervous, or I'll have you executed on the spot.'
查看中文翻译
'I can't help it,' said Alice very meekly: 'I'm growing.'
查看中文翻译
Just at this moment Alice felt a very curious sensation, which puzzled her a good deal until she made out what it was: she was beginning to grow larger again, and she thought at first she would get up and leave the court; but on second thoughts she decided to remain where she was as long as there was room for her.
查看中文翻译
'I wish you wouldn't squeeze so.' said the Dormouse, who was sitting next to her. 'I can hardly breathe.'
查看中文翻译
'You've no right to grow here,' said the Dormouse.
查看中文翻译
'Don't talk nonsense,' said Alice more boldly: 'you know you're growing too.'
查看中文翻译
'Yes, but I grow at a reasonable pace,' said the Dormouse: 'not in that ridiculous fashion.' And he got up very sulkily and crossed over to the other side of the court.
查看中文翻译
'I'm a poor man, your Majesty,' the Hatter began, in a trembling voice, '-- and I hadn't begun my tea -- not above a week or so -- and what with the bread-and-butter getting so thin -- and the twinkling of the tea --'
查看中文翻译
'Of course twinkling begins with a T!' said the King sharply. 'Do you take me for a dunce? Go on!'
查看中文翻译
All this time the Queen had never left off staring at the Hatter, and, just as the Dormouse crossed the court, she said to one of the officers of the court, 'Bring me the list of the singers in the last concert!' on which the wretched Hatter trembled so, that he shook both his shoes off.
查看中文翻译
'The twinkling of the what?' said the King.
查看中文翻译
'You did!' said the Hatter.
查看中文翻译
'Give your evidence,' the King repeated angrily, 'or I'll have you executed, whether you're nervous or not.'
查看中文翻译
'I didn't!' the March Hare interrupted in a great hurry.
查看中文翻译
'I deny it!' said the March Hare.
查看中文翻译
'I'm a poor man,' the Hatter went on, 'and most things twinkled after that -- only the March Hare said --'
查看中文翻译
'It began with the tea,' the Hatter replied.
查看中文翻译
'After that,' continued the Hatter, 'I cut some more bread-and-butter --'
查看中文翻译
'Well, at any rate, the Dormouse said --' the Hatter went on, looking anxiously round to see if he would deny it too: but the Dormouse denied nothing, being fast asleep.
查看中文翻译
'He denies it,' said the King: 'leave out that part.'
查看中文翻译
'You MUST remember,' remarked the King, 'or I'll have you executed.'
查看中文翻译
'That I can't remember,' said the Hatter.
查看中文翻译
The miserable Hatter dropped his teacup and bread-and-butter, and went down on one knee. 'I'm a poor man, your Majesty,' he began.
查看中文翻译
'But what did the Dormouse say?' one of the jury asked.
查看中文翻译
'You're a very poor speaker,' said the King.
查看中文翻译
Here one of the guinea-pigs cheered, and was immediately suppressed by the officers of the court. (As that is rather a hard word, I will just explain to you how it was done. They had a large canvas bag, which tied up at the mouth with strings: into this they slipped the guinea-pig, head first, and then sat upon it.)
查看中文翻译
'I'm glad I've seen that done,' thought Alice. 'I've so often read in the newspapers, at the end of trials, "There was some attempts at applause, which was immediately suppressed by the officers of the court," and I never understood what it meant till now.'
查看中文翻译
'Then you may SIT down,' the King replied.
查看中文翻译
'Call the next witness!' said the King.
查看中文翻译
'I'd rather finish my tea,' said the Hatter, with an anxious look at the Queen, who was reading the list of singers.
查看中文翻译
'I can't go no lower,' said the Hatter: 'I'm on the floor, as it is.'
查看中文翻译
'You may go,' said the King, and the Hatter hurriedly left the court, without even waiting to put his shoes on.
查看中文翻译
'-- and just take his head off outside,' the Queen added to one of the officers: but the Hatter was out of sight before the officer could get to the door.
查看中文翻译
'If that's all you know about it, you may stand down,' continued the King.
查看中文翻译
'Give your evidence,' said the King.
查看中文翻译
Here the other guinea-pig cheered, and was suppressed.
查看中文翻译
'Come, that finished the guinea-pigs!' thought Alice. 'Now we shall get on better.'
查看中文翻译
The next witness was the Duchess's cook. She carried the pepper-box in her hand, and Alice guessed who it was, even before she got into the court, by the way the people near the door began sneezing all at once.
查看中文翻译
'Shan't,' said the cook.
查看中文翻译
'Well, if I must, I must,' the King said, with a melancholy air, and, after folding his arms and frowning at the cook till his eyes were nearly out of sight, he said in a deep voice, 'What are tarts made of?'
查看中文翻译
The King looked anxiously at the White Rabbit, who said in a low voice, 'Your Majesty must cross-examine THIS witness.'
查看中文翻译
Alice watched the White Rabbit as hefumbled over the list, feeling very curious to see what the next witness would be like, '-- for they haven't got much evidence YET,' she said to herself. Imagine her surprise, when the White Rabbit read out, at the top of his shrill little voice, the name 'Alice!'
查看中文翻译
'Pepper, mostly,' said the cook.
查看中文翻译
'Treacle,' said a sleepy voice behind her.
查看中文翻译
'Collar that Dormouse,' the Queen shrieked out. 'Behead that Dormouse! Turn that Dormouse out of court! Suppress him! Pinch him! Off with his whiskers!'
查看中文翻译
For some minutes the whole court was in confusion, getting the Dormouse turned out, and, by the time they had settled down again, the cook had disappeared.
查看中文翻译
'Never mind!' said the King, with an air of great relief. 'Call the next witness.' And he added in an undertone to the Queen, 'Really, my dear, YOU must cross-examine the next witness. It quite makes my forehead ache!'
