起初，爱丽丝很难摆弄红鹤，后来总算很成功地把红鹤的身子舒服地夹在胳膊底下，红鹤的腿垂在下面。可是，当她好不容易把红鹤的脖子弄直，准备用它的头去打那个刺猬时，红鹤却把脖子扭上来，用奇怪的表情看着爱丽丝的脸，惹得爱丽丝大声笑了。

The chief difficulty Alice found at first was in managing her flamingo: she succeeded in getting its body tucked away, comfortably enough, under her arm, with its legs hanging down, but generally, just as she had got its neck nicely straightened out, and was going to give the hedgehog a blow with its head, it WOULD twist itself round and look up in her face, with such a puzzled expression that she could not help bursting out laughing: and when she had got its head down, and was going to begin again, it was very provoking to find that the hedgehog had unrolled itself, and was in the act of crawling away: besides all this, there was generally a ridge or furrow in the way wherever she wanted to send the hedgehog to, and, as the doubled-up soldiers were always getting up and walking off to other parts of the ground, Alice soon came to the conclusion that it was a very difficult game indeed.

The players all played at once without waiting for turns, quarrelling all the while, and fighting for the hedgehogs; and in a very short time the Queen was in a furious passion, and went stamping about, and shouting `Off with his head!' or `Off with her head!' about once in a minute.

起初，爱丽丝很难摆弄红鹤，后来总算很成功地把红鹤的身子舒服地夹在胳膊底下，红鹤的腿垂在下面。可是，当她好不容易把红鹤的脖子弄直，准备用它的头去打那个刺猬时，红鹤却把脖子扭上来，用奇怪的表情看着爱丽丝的脸，惹得爱丽丝大声笑了。她只得把红鹤的头按下去，当她准备再一次打球的时候，恼火地发现刺猬已经展开了身子爬走了。此外，把刺猬球打过去的路上总有一些土坎或小沟，躬腰做球门的士兵常常站起来走到球场的其它地方去。爱丽丝不久就得出结论：这确实是一个非常困难的游戏。

参加游戏的人没等轮到自己，就一起打起球来了，不时地为了刺猬争吵和打架。不一会，王后就大发雷霆，跺着脚来回地走，大约一分钟叫喊一次：“砍掉他的头！”“砍掉她的头！”
