于是他们庄严地围着爱丽丝跳起舞来，一面用前爪拍着拍子。当他们跳到跟前的时候，常常要踩着爱丽丝的脚。

So they began solemnly dancing round and round Alice, every now and then treading on her toes when they passed too close, and waving their forepaws to mark the time, while the Mock Turtle sang this, very slowly and sadly:--

`"Will you walk a little faster?" said a whiting to a snail. "There's a porpoise close behind us, and he's treading on my tail. See how eagerly the lobsters and the turtles all advance! They are waiting on the shingle--will you come and join the dance?

Will you, won't you, will you, won't you, will you join the dance? Will you, won't you, will you, won't you, won't you join the dance?

"You can really have no notion how delightful it will be When they take us up and throw us, with the lobsters, out to sea!" But the snail replied "Too far, too far!" and gave a look askance-- Said he thanked the whiting kindly, but he would not join the dance. Would not, could not, would not, could not, would not join the dance. Would not, could not, would not, could not, could not join the dance.

`"What matters it how far we go?" his scaly friend replied. "There is another shore, you know, upon the other side. The further off from England the nearer is to France-- Then turn not pale, beloved snail, but come and join the dance.

Will you, won't you, will you, won't you, will you join the dance? Will you, won't you, will you, won't you, won't you join the dance?"'

“鳕鱼对蜗牛说：

‘你不能走得快点吗，

一只海豚正跟在我们后面，

它常常踩着我的尾巴。

你瞧龙虾和乌龟多么匆忙，

海滩舞会马上开始啦！

你愿意去跳舞吗？

你愿去，你要去，你愿去，你要去，

你愿去跳舞吗，

你愿去，你要去，你愿去，你要去，

你要去跳舞吗？’

你真不知道那有多么好玩，

我们和龙虾一道被扔得老远。’

‘太远啦，太远啦。’蜗牛斜了一眼回答。

它说谢谢鳕鱼，

但它不愿把舞会参加。

它不愿，它不能，它不愿，它不能，

它不愿把舞会参加。

它不愿，它不能，它不愿，它不能，

它不能把舞会参加。

它的有鳞的朋友回答：

‘扔得远又有什么相干？

你要知道，在大海那边，

还有另一个海岸。

如果你更远地离开英格兰，

就会更加接近法兰西。

亲爱的蜗牛，不要害怕，

赶快去把舞会参加。

你不愿，你可要，你可愿，你可要，

你可愿把舞会参加？

你不愿，你可要，你可愿，你可要，

你可要把舞会参加？’”
