`Yes, but some crumbs must have got in as well,’ the Hatter grumbled: `you shouldn’t have put it in with the bread-knife.’

“不错，可是不少面包屑也掉进去了，帽匠咕噜着，“你不应该用面包刀加奶油。”

`Not the same thing a bit!’ said the hatter . `You might just as well say that “I see what I eat” is the same thing as “I eat what I see”!’

“根本不是一回事，”帽匠说，“那么，你说‘凡是我吃的东西我都能看见’和‘凡是我看见的东西我都能吃’，也算是一样的了?”

`Well, at any rate, the Dormouse said--’ the Hatter went on, looking anxiously round to see if he would deny it too: but the Dormouse denied nothing, being fast asleep

“好，无论如何，那就睡鼠来说……”说到这否认,然而睡鼠什么也没说，它睡得正香呢。

`You may go,’ said the King, and the Hatter hurriedly left the court, without even waiting to put his shoes on

“你可以走了。”国王一说，帽匠立即跑出法庭,甚至顾不上去穿他的鞋。

`You can draw water out of a water-well,’ said the Hatter ; `so I should think you could draw treacle out of a treacle-well--eh, stupid?’

“你能够从水井里吸水，”帽匠说，你也应该想到从糖浆井里能够吸糖浆了，怎么样，傻瓜?”

`The dormouse is asleep again,’ said the Hatter , and he poured a little hot tea upon its nose

“睡鼠又睡着了，”帽匠说着在睡鼠的鼻子上倒了一点热茶。

`I’d rather finish my tea,’ said the hatter , with an anxious look at the Queen, who was reading the list of singers

“我还得喝完这杯茶。”帽匠说着，不安地看着王后，而王后正在看唱歌人的名单。

`Well, I’d hardly finished the first verse,’ said the Hatter , `when the Queen jumped up and bawled out, “He’s murdering the time! Off with his head!”’

“我还没唱完第一段，”帽匠说，“那王后就大喊道“他简直是在糟蹋时间，砍掉他的头!’

`I keep them to sell,’ the hatter added as an explanation; `I’ve none of my own

“我拿帽子来卖的，我是个帽匠，没有一顶帽子属于我的。”

`I’m a poor man, your Majesty,’ the Hatter began, in a trembling voice, `--and I hadn’t begun my tea--not above a week or so--and what with the bread-and-butter getting so thin--and the twinkling of the tea--’

“我是个穷人，陛下，”帽匠颤抖着说，“我只是刚刚开始吃茶点……没有超过一星期……再说为什么奶油面包变得这么薄呢……还有茶会闪光……

`I want a clean cup,’ interrupted the hatter : `let’s all move one place on.’

“我想要一只干净茶杯，”帽匠插嘴说，“让我们移动一下位子吧。”

`I haven’t the slightest idea,’ said the hatter

“我也不知道。”帽匠说。

`Not at first, perhaps,’ said the hatter : `but you could keep it to half-past one as long as you liked.’

“一开始也可能不饿，”帽匠说，“但是只要你喜欢，你就能把钟表保持在一点半钟。”

`Take off your hat,’ the King said to the hatter

“摘掉你的帽子!”国王对帽匠说。

`That I can’t remember,’ said the hatter

“这个我记不得了。”帽匠说。

`Exactly so,’ said the hatter : `as the things get used up.’

“正是这样，”帽匠说，“茶具用脏了，我们就往下挪。”

Just like my luck! If I had been bred a hatter , little boys would have come into the world without heads.

唉,又是倒霉啦!假如我是被养大当帽子工人的,生下来的孩子可能都没带头颅来的吧。

And the authorities felt ridiculous, and behaved in a rather ridiculous fashion, and it was all a mad hatter ’s tea-party for a while.

当局者自己也觉得可笑，却有点可笑地行动着，一时紊乱得一塌糊涂。

At last there was a measurable degree of quiet, and the hatter said

后来场内终于安静了许多，那位开帽子铺的说

Since he has apologized,you’d hatter not pile insult on insult.

既然他已经道歉了，你就不要再没完没了的了。

The hatter shook his head mournfully

帽匠悲哀地摇摇头。

The Hatter looked at the March Hare, who had followed him into the court, arm-in-arm with the Dormouse, `fourteenth of March, I think it was,’ he said

帽匠看了看三月兔--三月兔是同睡鼠手挽着手跟着他进来的--说:“我想是三月十四日开始吃的。”

The miserable Hatter dropped his teacup and bread-and-butter, and went down on one knee, `I’m a poor man, your Majesty,’ he began

那个可怜的帽匠丢掉了茶杯、奶油面包，单膝跪下说，“我是个可怜人，陛下。”

Equally the men paraded with the very latest they could afford. A tailor might have secured hints on suit measurements, a shoemaker on proper lasts and colours, a hatter on hats.

同样,男人们也穿着自己所能买得起的最时新的服装招摇过市。在这里,裁缝可以得到裁剪服装的启发,鞋匠可以了解流行的款式和颜色,帽匠可以知道帽子的行情。

be as mad as a March hare [as a hatter ]

象春兔一样疯野(指兔子于春天交尾期间显得特别狂野, 容易激动), 疯里疯气

’And be quick about it, ’ added the Hatter , ’or you’ll be asleep again before it’s done. ’

“而且要快点讲，要不然你还没讲完又睡着了，”帽匠加了一句。

’Of course you don’t! ’ the Hatter said, tossing his head contemptuously. ’I dare say you never even spoke to Time! ’

“你当然不懂，”帽匠得意地晃着头说，“我敢肯定你从来没有同时间说过话。”

’Your hair wants cutting, ’ said the Hatter . He had been looking at Alice for some time with great curiosity, and this was his first speech.

“你的头发该剪了。”帽匠好奇地看了爱丽丝一会儿，这是他第一次开口。

’You may go, ’ said the King, and the Hatter hurriedly left the court, without even waiting to put his shoes on.

“你可以走了。”国王一说，帽匠立即跑出法庭。甚至顾不上去穿他的鞋。

’You mean you can’t take LESS, ’ said the Hatter : ’it’s very easy to take MORE than nothing. ’

“你应该说不能再少喝点了，”帽匠说，“比没有喝再多喝一点是最容易不过的了。”
