第3章 和毛毛蟲的談話 (Chapter 3 Conversation with a caterpillar)
"Then how do you get them,if you don't steal them!" screamed the bird.
“那麼,如果不是偷,你們怎麼弄到蛋的?”
This was a difficult question to answer,so Alice brought up her right hand through the leaves and ate a little from the other piece of mushroom.
這個問題很難回答,愛麗絲把右手從樹葉間抽出來,吃了點那片蘑菇。
She began to get smaller at once and, very carefully,she ate first from one hand,then from the other,until she was about twenty-five centimeters high.
她馬上開始變小了,然後,她小心翼翼地吃點這片,吃點那片,直到她有25釐米那麼高。
"That's better,"she said to herself.
“這還差不多,”她對自己說。
"And now I must find that garden."
“現在我得找到那個花園。”
She began to walk through the wood,and after a while she came to a little house.
她走進樹林,過了一會兒到了一所小房子面前。
