“你在跟谁说话？”国王走来问爱丽丝，还很奇怪地看着那个猫头。

“请允许我介绍，这是我的朋友——柴郡猫。”爱丽丝说。

`I don't think they play at all fairly,' Alice began, in rather a complaining tone, `and they all quarrel so dreadfully one can't hear oneself speak--and they don't seem to have any rules in particular; at least, if there are, nobody attends to them--and you've no idea how confusing it is all the things being alive; for instance, there's the arch I've got to go through next walking about at the other end of the ground--and I should have croqueted the Queen's hedgehog just now, only it ran away when it saw mine coming!'

`How do you like the Queen?' said the Cat in a low voice.

`Not at all,' said Alice: `she's so extremely--' Just then she noticed that the Queen was close behind her, listening: so she went on, `--likely to win, that it's hardly worth while finishing the game.'

The Queen smiled and passed on.

`Who ARE you talking to?' said the King, going up to Alice, and looking at the Cat's head with great curiosity.

`It's a friend of mine--a Cheshire Cat,' said Alice: `allow me to introduce it.'

`I don't like the look of it at all,' said the King: `however, it may kiss my hand if it likes.'

`I'd rather not,' the Cat remarked.

“他们玩得不公平，”爱丽丝抱怨地说，“他们吵得太厉害了，弄得人家连自己说的话都听不清了。而且他们好像没有一定的规则，就算有的话，也没人遵守。还有，你简直想象不到，所有的东西都是活的。真讨厌。譬如说，我马上就要把球打进球门，而那个球门却散步去了；再加我正要用自己的球碰王后的刺猾球，哼，它一见我的球来撒腿就跑掉啦！”

“你喜欢王后吗？”猫轻声说。

“一点都不喜欢，”爱丽丝说，“她非常……”正说到这里，她突然发觉王后就在她身后听呢？于是她马上改口说：“非常会玩椒球，别人简直不必要再同她比下去了。”

王后微笑着走开了。

“请允许我介绍，这是我的朋友——柴郡猫。”爱丽丝说。

“我一点也不喜欢它的模样，不过，如果它愿意的话，可以吻我的手。”国王说。

“我不愿意。”猫回答。
