Soon her eye 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. `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 under the door; so either way I'll get into the garden, and I don't care which happens!'

She ate a little bit, and said anxiously to herself, `Which way? Which way?', holding her hand on the top of her head to feel which way it was growing, and she was quite surprised to find that she remained the same size: to be sure, this generally happens when one eats cake, but Alice had got so much into the way of expecting nothing but out-of-the-way things to happen, that it seemed quite dull and stupid for life to go on in the common way.

So she set to work, and very soon finished off the cake.

参考译文

不一会儿，她的眼光落在桌子下面的一个小玻璃盒子上。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，我就吃它，”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爬过去，反正不管怎样，我都可以到那个花园里去了。因此无论怎么变，我都不在乎。”

她只吃了一小口，就焦急地问自己：“是哪一种，变大还是变小？”她用手摸摸头顶，想知道变成哪种样子。可是非常奇怪，一点没变，说实话，这本来是吃点心的正常现象，可是爱丽丝已经习惯了稀奇古怪的事了，生活中的正常事情倒显得难以理解了。

于是，她又吃开了，很块就把一块点心吃完了。
