真是该走了，因为池塘里已经有了一大群鸟兽，有一只鸭子、—只渡渡鸟（一种现已绝种的鸟，原产非洲毛里求斯。）、一只鹦鹉，一只小鹰和一些稀奇古怪的动物。爱丽丝领着路，和这群鸟兽一起自岸边游。

`We indeed!' cried the Mouse, who was trembling down to the end of his tail. `As if I would talk on such a subject! Our family always HATED cats: nasty, low, vulgar things! Don't let me hear the name again!'

`I won't indeed!' said Alice, in a great hurry to change the subject of conversation. `Are you--are you fond--of--of dogs?' The Mouse did not answer, so Alice went on eagerly: `There is such a nice little dog near our house I should like to show you! A little bright-eyed terrier, you know, with oh, such long curly brown hair! And it'll fetch things when you throw them, and it'll sit up and beg for its dinner, and all sorts of things--I can't remember half of them--and it belongs to a farmer, you know, and he says it's so useful, it's worth a hundred pounds! He says it kills all the rats and--oh dear!' cried Alice in a sorrowful tone, `I'm afraid I've offended it again!' For the Mouse was swimming away from her as hard as it could go, and making quite a commotion in the pool as it went.

So she called softly after it, `Mouse dear! Do come back again, and we won't talk about cats or dogs either, if you don't like them!' When the Mouse heard this, it turned round and swam slowly back to her: its face was quite pale (with passion, Alice thought), and it said in a low trembling voice, `Let us get to the shore, and then I'll tell you my history, and you'll understand why it is I hate cats and dogs.'

It was high time to go, for the pool was getting quite crowded with the birds and animals that had fallen into it: there were a Duck and a Dodo, a Lory and an Eaglet, and several other curious creatures. Alice led the way, and the whole party swam to the shore.

参考译文

“还说‘咱们’呢！”老鼠喊着，连尾巴梢都发抖了，“好像我愿意说似的！我们家族都仇恨猫，这种可恶的、下贱的、粗鄙的东西！再别让我听到这个名字了！”

“我不说了，真的！”爱丽丝说着，急忙改变了话题，“你……喜欢……喜欢……狗吗？”老鼠没回答，于是，爱丽丝热心地了下去，“告诉你，我家不远有一只小狗，—只眼晴明亮的小猎狗，你知道，它长着那么长的棕色卷毛。它还会接住你扔的东西，又会坐起来讨吃的，还会玩各式各样的把戏，它是一个农民的，你可知道，那个农民说它真顶用，要值一百英镑哪！说它还能杀掉所有的老鼠……哦，亲爱的！”爱丽丝伤心地说，“我怕又惹你生气了。”老鼠已经拼命游远了，它游开时，还弄得池塘的水一阵波动。

爱丽丝跟在老鼠的后面柔声细气地招呼它：“老鼠啊，亲爱的，你还是回来吧，你不喜欢的话，咱们再也不谈猫和狗了！”老鼠听了这话，就转过身慢慢地向她游来，它脸色苍白（爱丽丝想一定是气成这样的），用低而颤抖的声音说：“让我们上岸去吧，然后我将把我的历史告诉你，这样你就会明白我为什么也恨猫和狗了。”
