　　大家好!Alice正在尋找返回花園的路，一路上她遇到了森林里的柴郡貓，柴郡貓告訴她帽匠和瘋兔的住址。Alice找到他倆的時候，他倆正在開茶會。

　　帽匠和瘋兔

　　Would you like some tea? Tea? Yes please, and cake? One cake... two cakes? One lump or two?

　　你要不要喝點茶?茶?當然，蛋糕呢?一塊…還是兩塊?

　　Alice

　　Curiouser and curiouser. They're having a tea-party. But where are all the guests?

　　越來越好奇!他們正在舉辦茶會，但是客人都在那兒呢?

　　講述者

　　The Hatter and the March Hare were sitting at one end of a very long table,which had empty cups and plates all the way along it. But the only other guest was a mouse, who was sound asleep. Alice decided to join them.

　　帽匠和瘋兔正坐在一張長桌子的盡頭，沿著桌面擺著空杯空盤。唯一的客人是一只老鼠，他睡得正酣。Alice決定加入這場茶會。

　　帽匠和瘋兔

　　No room here! I'm sorry, no room!

　　這兒沒位置了!不好意思，沒位置了!

　　Alice

　　There's plenty of room!

　　這明明還有很多空位!

　　Alice sat down. The Hatter opened his eyes very wide.

　　Why is a raven like a writing desk?

　　Then you should say what you mean!

　　那你應該說出你的答案!

　　Alice

　　I do. At least, I mean what I say. That's the same thing, isn't it?

　　我會的，至少，我的意思是我會猜，會猜和猜對都可以，對嗎?

　　帽匠

　　But why is a raven like a writing-desk? Have you guessed the answer yet?

　　為什么一只烏鴉會看起來像一張寫字臺?你猜出答案了嗎?

　　I haven't had any tea, have I? So I can't take more.

　　More tea, Hatter?

　　再來點茶，帽匠?

　　帽匠

　　Don't mind if I do!

　　好的!

　　講述者

　　The Hatter and the March Hare didn't seem to notice her leaving. Alice wentback into the woods. She looked back as she walked away. The Hatter and theMarch Hare were trying to put the mouse into the teapot.

　　帽匠和瘋兔好像并沒有注意到Alice離去，她又返回了森林，走遠以后Alice還回頭看了看，帽匠和瘋兔正試圖將老鼠塞進茶壺里。

　　帽匠和瘋兔

　　Mousey mousey! In you go! Plop! Oh, he does wriggle so. More tea?

　　小老鼠呀小老鼠!撲通一聲進茶壺!哇!他還在扭呢，要再來點茶嗎?

　　Alice

　　I'll never go there again! That was the stupidest tea-party I've ever been toin all my life!

　　我再也不會到哪兒去了!從未見過如此愚蠢的茶會!

　　講述者

　　Back in the woods, Alice saw a tree with a door in it.

　　回到森林里，Alice看到了一棵奇怪的樹，上面有一扇門。

　　Alice

　　That's very curious! I wonder what could be behind a door in a tree...

　　真的太奇怪了!樹上竟然有一扇門，門后面是什么呢?

　　講述者

　　In Wonderland anything can be behind any door. Alice opened the door and there she was at the beginning of her adventures again – in the hall with the locked doors and the table with the little key on it.

　　在奇幻仙境中，門后面可能有任何東西。Alice小心翼翼地打開了門，她發(fā)現(xiàn)這正是她剛一開始掉落的地方——一間周圍全是門的大廳，里面有張桌子，桌子上面放著一把小鑰匙。

　　Alice

　　I remember that little door and the key! This time I know what to do! I'm finally going to get into the garden!

　　我記得這扇小門和這把鑰匙!這一次我知道該怎么做了!我終于要進入花園里!

　　講述者

　　Alice had learned a lot about growing and shrinking in Wonderland. She took the key off the table first… and then ate some of the mushroom she had taken from the caterpillar and put in her pocket. Soon she was small enough to unlock the door and go through it.

　　Alice已經(jīng)對在奇幻仙境里經(jīng)歷的身體變化有所了解，這次她先拿到了桌上的鑰匙…然后從口袋里掏出一點蘑菇，吃了下去，這是她從毛毛蟲那里拿的，不一會兒她就變小了，然后順利地打開門，進入了花園里。

　　Alice

　　Oh, it's so pretty here!

　　哇!這兒好漂亮啊!

　　講述者

　　We'll leave Alice here for now, happy in the garden at last. Soon, she's going to meet the Queen and play croquet. Will she still be happy then? I'll tell you next time.

　　Alice終于可以在美麗的花園里玩耍了，我們先不要打擾她。不久之后，她還會遇到女王，并和她一起玩槌球。她還會這么開心嗎?我們下集再講。
