这时,她已经走进了一间整洁的小房间,靠窗子有张桌子,桌子上正像她希望的那样,有一把扇子和两、三双很小的白羊羔皮手套,她拿起扇子和一双手套。

By this time she had found her way into a tidy little room with a table in the window, and on it (as she had hoped) a fan and two or three pairs of tiny white kid gloves: she took up the fan and a pair of the gloves, and was just going to leave the room, when her eye fell upon a little bottle that stood near the looking- glass. There was no label this time with the words `DRINK ME,' but nevertheless she uncorked it and put it to her lips. `I know SOMETHING interesting is sure to happen,' she said to herself, `whenever I eat or drink anything; so I'll just see what this bottle does. I do hope it'll make me grow large again, for really I'm quite tired of being such a tiny little thing!'

It did so indeed, and much sooner than she had expected: before she had drunk half the bottle, she found her head pressing against the ceiling, and had to stoop to save her neck from being broken. She hastily put down the bottle, saying to herself `That's quite enough--I hope I shan't grow any more--As it is, I can't get out at the door--I do wish I hadn't drunk quite so much!'

参考译文

这时,她已经走进了一间整洁的小房间,靠窗子有张桌子,桌子上正像她希望的那样,有一把扇子和两、三双很小的白羊羔皮手套,她拿起扇子和一双手套。正当她要离开房间的时候,眼光落在镜子旁边的一个小瓶上。这一次,瓶上没有“喝我”的标记。但她却拔开瓶塞就往嘴里倒。她想,“我每次吃或喝一点东西,总会发生一些有趣的事。所以我要看看这一瓶能把我怎么样。我真希望它会让我长大。说真的,做我现在这样一点儿的小东西,真厌烦极了。”

小瓶真的照办了,而且比她期望的还快,她还没有喝到一半,头已经碰到了天花板,因此,必须立即停止,不能再喝了!否则脖子要给折断了。爱丽丝赶紧扔掉瓶子,对自己说:“现在已经够了,不要再长了,可是就是现在这样,我也已经出不去了。嗨!我别喝这么多就好啦!”
