爱丽丝镜中世界奇遇记

6.胖墩儿|6 Humpty Dumpty

属类： 双语小说 【分类】儿童读物 阅读：[6857]
简介：红方王后对爱丽丝说：“你可以充当白方王后前面的卒。卒第一步走两格。然后，你可以飞快地通过第三格——可能乘火车。到了第四格，你会碰见特威丹、特威帝孪生兄弟。第五格大部分是水，第六格则是矮胖子的地盘。第七格全是森林——马将做你的向导。”
进入第八格，爱丽丝将变为王后。象棋可真是奇特的游戏!在镜中世界里，所有的象棋子儿都与你争吵;你得跑得飞快才能留在同一个地方。在这儿，时光倒转，白方王后忘不了两星期以后要发生的事情。
这到底是谁的梦境?是爱丽丝的?还是她只是红方国王梦境中的一个角色?如果是这样，红方国王一旦醒来，又会有什么事发生呢?
作者简介：作者刘易斯·卡罗尔(真名为查尔斯·道奇森)出生于1832年，于1898年逝世。他曾是牛津大学的数学教师。他为现实生活中一个名叫爱丽丝·利德尔的小女孩写了《爱丽丝漫游奇境记》、《爱丽丝镜中世界奇遇记》两本书，它们是儿童读物中出色的名著。

但鸡蛋越变越大，越变越像个人。爱丽丝看见他有眼，有鼻，有嘴巴。她才知道那原来就是胖墩儿。

1
-

But the egg got larger and larger， and more and morelike a person. Then Alice saw that it had eyes and anose and a mouth，and she realized that it was HUMPTYDUMPTY himself.

2
-

她自言自语道：“肯定是他。他就坐在一堵高墙上，外表像个鸡蛋。”

2
-

‘It must be him，’she said to herself.‘There he is， sittingon a high wall，and he looks just like an egg.’

3
-

他纹丝不动地坐在那儿，好像是睡着了。爱丽丝就站在那儿，口里背诵着一首歌词：

3
-

He was sitting very still and seemed to be asleep，so Alicestood and repeated to herself the words of the song：

4
-

胖墩儿坐在墙上，

4
-

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall;

5
-

胖墩儿摔下重伤。

5
-

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.

6
-

国王的骏马、骑士，

6
-

All the King’s horses and all the King’s men

7
-

再不能将他拼上。

7
-

Couldn’t put Humpty together again.

8
-

胖墩儿突然睁开眼睛说：“别站在那儿自言自语。告诉我你的名字。”

8
-

‘Don’t stand there talking to yourself，’said HumptyDumpty suddenly，opening his eyes.‘Tell me your name.’

9
-

“我叫爱丽丝--”

9
-

‘My name is Alice-’

10
-

胖墩儿说：“那是个蠢名字!是什么意思?”

10
-

‘That’s a stupid name!’said Humpty Dumpty.‘What doesit mean?’

11
-

“名字都得有意思?”爱丽丝不解地问道。

11
-

‘Must a name mean something?’Alice asked，puzzled.

12
-

“那当然。”胖墩儿笑了一下说：“我的名字说明了我的体形--我的体形多好。像你那个名字，你几乎什么体形都能用。”

12
-

‘Of course it must，’Humpty Dumpty said with a shortlaugh.‘My name means the shape I am-and a very goodshape it is， too. With a name like yours， you could be almostany shape.’

13
-

爱丽丝不想争辩，就问：“你怎么一个人坐在这儿?”

13
-

‘Why do you sit out here all alone?’said Alice，not wishingto argue.

14
-

“那是因为没有人与我在一起!”胖墩儿大声叫道，“你认为我不能回答你那个问题?好了，让我们谈些更明智的话题吧。”

14
-

‘Because there’s nobody with me!’ cried Humpty Dumpty.‘Did you think I didn’t know the answer to that?Come，let’shave some intelligent conversation now.’

15
-

爱丽丝试图想些明智的话题讲讲，但就是想不起来。“你腰上的皮带多漂亮!”她突然发现了这点，就说了。

15
-

Alice tried to think of something intelligent to say， butcouldn’t.‘What a beautiful belt you’re wearing!’she said，suddenly noticing it.

16
-

胖墩儿面有悦色，说：“这话题好多了，这是白方国王与王后送我的礼物，是件非生日礼物。”

16
-

‘That’s better，’said Humpty Dumpty，looking pleased.‘Yes，it was a present from the White King and Queen.Theygave it to me for an unbirthday present.’

17
-

爱丽丝迷惑不解，“非生日礼物到底是什么?”

17
-

Alice looked puzzled.‘What is an unbirthday present?’

18
-

“那当然是你非生日那天送你的礼物。”

18
-

‘A present when it isn’t your birthday，of course.’

19
-

爱丽丝想了想，最后说：“我还是最喜欢生日礼物。”

19
-

Alice thought about this.‘I like birthday presents best，’ shesaid at last.

20
-

“你在讲些什么呀!一年有多少天?”胖墩儿叫嚷道。

20
-

‘You don’t know what you’re talking about!’cried HumptyDumpty.‘How many days are there in a year?’

21
-

爱丽丝说：“365天。”

21
-

‘Three hundred and sixty-five，’said Alice.

22
-

“其中有多少天是你的生日?”

22
-

‘And how many birthdays have you?’

23
-

“一天。”

23
-

‘One.’

24
-

“那么365天减去1天剩多少?”

24
-

‘And if you take one from three hundred and sixty-five，what is left?’

25
-

“当然是364天。”

25
-

‘Three hundred and sixty-four， of course.’

26
-

胖墩儿便说：“这么讲你只有一天能收到生日礼物。但其他364天都能收到非生日礼物，你就‘成功’了!”

26
-

‘So there’s only one day when you can get birthdaypresents，’said Humpty Dumpty，‘but three hundred and six-ty-four days when you can get unbirthday presents!There’ssuccess for you!’

27
-

“我不明白你说‘成功’指的是什么?”爱丽丝问。

27
-

‘I don’t know what you mean by “success”，’Alice said.

28
-

胖墩儿笑了笑，“我不告诉你，你当然不晓得，我指的是‘给你个聪明的主意!’”

28
-

Humpty Dumpty smiled.‘Of course you don’t-until I tellyou.I meant “there’s a clever idea for you!”’

29
-

“但‘成功’没有‘聪明主意’的意思呀。”爱丽丝争辩说。

29
-

‘But“success” doesn’t mean “a clever idea”，’Alice argued.

30
-

胖墩儿不理会爱丽丝，说：“我用一个词儿，我要它什么意思，那词儿就是什么意思。”

30
-

‘When I use a word，’Humpty Dumpty said，looking downhis nose at Alice，‘it means just what I choose it to mean-neither more nor less.’

31
-

“但你可以叫词儿具有另外的意思吗?”爱丽丝问。

31
-

‘But can you make words have different meanings?’askedAlice.

32
-

胖墩儿说：“我同意，用词儿是件不容易的事。但你得对它们显示你的威力。给它们发号施令。要它们遵从你。它们必须好好干，对你百依百顺!”他说着，激动地将手重重地在墙上拍了一下。

32
-

‘Words are difficult things，I agree，’said HumptyDumpty.‘But you have to be strong with them.Give them or-ders.Tell them to obey you.They must work hard，and dowhat they’re told!’ He banged his hand excitedly on the wallas he spoke.

33
-

“你好像对词儿很有些办法，先生。”爱丽丝很有礼貌地说，希望使他平静下来。她担心胖墩儿从墙上摔下来。

33
-

‘You seem very clever with words，Sir，’said Alicepolitely，hoping to calm him.She was worried about himfalling off the wall.

34
-

胖墩儿面带悦色，说：“我能解释大多数的词儿，并叫它们为我服务。有些词儿像皮箱，里面有好几种意思。譬如诗歌，一首短诗的意思可以像五个人的行李一样丰富。”

34
-

Humpty Dumpty looked pleased.‘I can explain mostwords，and get them to do what I want，’he said.‘Some ofthem are like suitcases， you know.They’ve got several mean-ings packed up in them.Take poems，for example.One shortpoem can carry as many meanings as five people’s luggage.’

35
-

爱丽丝说：“今天早些时候，有人给我背诵了首诗。我想那是特威帝吧。”

35
-

‘Somebody repeated a poem to me earlier today，’saidAlice.‘It was Tweedledee，I think.’

36
-

“哦，只要你不厌烦，我背诵多少首诗都可以。”胖墩儿说。

36
-

‘Oh，I can repeat any number of poems，if you like，’saidHumpty Dumpty.

37
-

爱丽丝马上抢着说：“哦，现在不必了。”希望他别开始背。

37
-

‘Well， not just at the moment，’Alice said quickly，hopingto stop him from beginning.

38
-

胖墩儿并不听她，继续说：“这首是专门为你写的。它将给你带来快乐。”

38
-

‘This piece was written specially for you，’Humpty Dump-ty went on，not listening to her.‘It will amuse you.’

39
-

“谢谢!”爱丽丝沮丧地说。她想：如果这首诗是专门为她写的，她就不能不洗耳恭听。

39
-

‘Thank you，’said Alice sadly. She could not refuse to lis-ten，she thought，if the poem was specially written for her.

40
-

冬日里田野白雪皑皑，

40
-

In winter，when the fields are white，

41
-

我唱起这首歌，只为你开怀--

41
-

I sing this song for your delight-

42
-

他解释说：“但我不唱歌。”

42
-

‘But I don’t sing it，’he explained.

43
-

“是的，这我明白。”爱丽丝应道。

43
-

‘Yes，I can see that，’Alice said.

44
-

胖墩儿说：“如果你能看出我是否在唱歌，那么你的眼力比大部分人都要好。”爱丽丝沉默着，于是他又背：

44
-

‘If you can see me singing or not singing， you’ve better eyesthan most people，’ said Humpty Dumpty.Alice was silent，and he went on.

45
-

春天里树木郁郁葱葱，

45
-

In spring， when woods are getting green，

46
-

我要设法告诉你我的意思。

46
-

I’ll try and tell you what I mean.

47
-

爱丽丝说：“非常感谢。”

47
-

‘Thank you very much，’ said Alice.

48
-

夏日里炎炎日长，

48
-

In summer， when the days are long，

49
-

也许你会懂得我的歌唱。

49
-

Perhaps you’ll understand the song.

50
-

秋天枝叶枯黄，

50
-

In autumn， when the leaves are brown，

51
-

拿起笔墨永记不忘。

51
-

Take pen and ink and write it down.

52
-

“我会的，如果我能把它长久记住的话。”爱丽丝说。

52
-

‘I will，if I can remember it so long，’said Alice.

53
-

胖墩儿说：“别说了，你说的话不明智。我忘了讲到哪儿了。”

53
-

‘Don’t go on saying things，’Humpty Dumpty said.‘They’re not sensible， and I forget where I am.’

54
-

我给鱼儿捎个信;

54
-

I sent a message to the fish;

55
-

告诉它们“这是我的心愿。”

55
-

I told them‘This is what I wish.’

56
-

大海里的小鱼儿，

56
-

The little fishes of the sea，

57
-

给了我一个回音。

57
-

They sent an answer back to me.

58
-

小鱼儿的回音是

58
-

The little fishes’answer was

59
-

“先生，这事我们做不了，因为--”

59
-

‘We cannot do it，Sir，because-’

60
-

爱丽丝说：“恐怕我理解不了。”

60
-

‘I’m afraid I don’t understand，’said Alice.

61
-

“越往后听，就变得越简单了。”胖墩儿说。

61
-

‘It gets easier as it goes on，’ Humpty Dumpty replied.

62
-

诗歌又背了好长时间，可是爱丽丝觉得理解起来越来越难，而不是越来越容易了。胖墩儿突然停住，随后是长久的沉默。

62
-

But the poem went on for a long time， and Alice thought itgot harder，not easier，to understand. Then Humpty Dumptysuddenly stopped， and there was a long silence.

63
-

爱丽丝客气地问：“背完了?”

63
-

‘Is that all?’Alice asked politely.

64
-

“背完了，再见!”胖墩儿答。

64
-

‘That’s all，’said Humpty Dumpty.‘Goodbye.’

65
-

爱丽丝等了一会儿，但胖墩儿闭上眼，不再说话。她站了起来，道了“再见”，轻轻地走开了。

65
-

Alice waited a minute，but Humpty Dumpty closed his eyesand did not speak again. So she got up， said‘goodbye’， andquietly walked away.

66
-

“这真是个非常奇特的人!”她一边走，一边自言自语，“我想我从未见过--”但话只讲了半截，因为就在那时，强烈的撞击声震动了整个森林。

66
-

‘What an extraordinary person!’she said to herself as shewalked.‘I don’t think I ever met-’She never finished whatshe was saying，because at that moment a heavy crash shookthe forest from end to end.
