然后,她去一个个想她认识的孩子,看看谁如果变成猪更像样些,她刚想对自己说:“只要有人告诉他们变化的办法……”,这时,那只柴郡猫把她吓了一跳,它正坐在几码远的树枝上。

No, there were no tears. `If you're going to turn into a pig, my dear,' said Alice, seriously, `I'll have nothing more to do with you. Mind now!' The poor little thing sobbed again (or grunted, it was impossible to say which), and they went on for some while in silence.

Alice was just beginning to think to herself, `Now, what am I to do with this creature when I get it home?' when it grunted again, so violently, that she looked down into its face in some alarm. This time there could be NO mistake about it: it was neither more nor less than a pig, and she felt that it would be quite absurd for her to carry it further.

So she set the little creature down, and felt quite relieved to see it trot away quietly into the wood. `If it had grown up,' she said to herself, `it would have made a dreadfully ugly child: but it makes rather a handsome pig, I think.' And she began thinking over other children she knew, who might do very well as pigs, and was just saying to herself, `if one only knew the right way to change them--' when she was a little startled by seeing the Cheshire Cat sitting on a bough of a tree a few yards off.

参考译文

没有,一点儿眼泪也没有。“如果你变成了一只猪,”爱丽丝严肃地说,“听着,我可再不理你了!”那可怜的小家伙又抽泣了一声(或者说又咕噜了—声,很难说到底是哪种),然后他们就默默地走了一会儿。

爱丽丝正在想:“我回家可把这小生物怎么办呢?,这时,他又猛烈地咕噜了一声,爱丽丝马上警觉地朝下看他的脸。这次一点儿都不会错了,它完全是只猪。她感到如果再带着它就太可笑了。

于是她把这小生物放下,看着它很快地跑进树林,感到十分轻松。“如果它长大的话,爱丽丝对自己说,“一定会成为可怕的丑孩子,要不就成为个漂亮的猪。”然后,她去一个个想她认识的孩子,看看谁如果变成猪更像样些,她刚想对自己说:“只要有人告诉他们变化的办法……”,这时,那只柴郡猫把她吓了一跳,它正坐在几码远的树枝上。
