她将会毕生保留着童年时的纯洁珍爱之心。她还会逗引孩童们,用许多奇异的故事,或许就是许久以前的这个梦游奇境,使得他们眼睛变得更加明亮热切。
So she sat on, with closed eyes, and half believed herself in Wonderland, though she knew she had but to open them again, and all would change to dull reality--the grass would be only rustling in the wind, and the pool rippling to the waving of the reeds--the rattling teacups would change to tinkling sheep- bells, and the Queen's shrill cries to the voice of the shepherd boy--and the sneeze of the baby, the shriek of the Gryphon, and all thy other queer noises, would change (she knew) to the confused clamour of the busy farm-yard--while the lowing of the cattle in the distance would take the place of the Mock Turtle's heavy sobs.
Lastly, she pictured to herself how this same little sister of hers would, in the after-time, be herself a grown woman; and how she would keep, through all her riper years, the simple and loving heart of her childhood: and how she would gather about her other little children, and make THEIR eyes bright and eager with many a strange tale, perhaps even with the dream of Wonderland of long ago: and how she would feel with all their simple sorrows, and find a pleasure in all their simple joys, remembering her own child-life, and the happy summer days.
参考译文
于是她将身子坐正,闭着眼睛,半信半疑自己真的到了奇境世界。尽管她知道只是重温一个旧梦,而一切都仍会返回现实:蒿草只是迎风作响,池水的波纹摆动了芦苇。茶杯的碰击声实际是羊颈上的铃铛声,王后的尖叫起源于牧童的吃喝。猪孩子的喷嚏声,鹰头狮的尖叫声和各种奇声怪音,原来只是农村中繁忙季节的各种喧闹声。而远处耕牛的低吟,在梦中变成素甲鱼的哀泣。
最后,她想像了这样的情景:她的这位小妹妹,以后将成为一位妇女。而她将会毕生保留着童年时的纯洁珍爱之心。她还会逗引孩童们,用许多奇异的故事,或许就是许久以前的这个梦游奇境,使得他们眼睛变得更加明亮热切。她也将共享儿童们纯洁的烦恼,因为这些烦恼就存在于她自己的童年,以及那愉快的夏日回忆之中。
