愛麗絲夢遊仙境 英文
作者簡介
劉易斯·卡羅爾（Lewis Carroll）的真名叫查爾斯·勒特威奇·道奇森（1832～1898），是一位數學家，長期在享有盛名的牛津大學任堂學院數學講師，發表了好幾本數學著作。他因有嚴重的口吃，故而不善與人交往，但他興趣廣泛，對小說、詩歌、邏輯都頗有造詣，還是一個優秀的兒童像攝影師。
《愛麗絲漫遊仙境》是卡羅爾興之所致，給友人的女兒愛麗絲所講的故事，寫下後加上自己的插圖送給了她。後來在朋友鼓勵下，卡羅爾將手稿加以修訂、擴充、潤色後，於1865年正式出版。故事講述了一個叫愛麗絲的小女孩，在夢中追逐一隻兔子而掉進了兔子洞，開始了漫長而驚險的旅行，直到最後與撲克牌王後、國王發生頂撞，急得大叫一聲，才大夢醒來。這部童話以神奇的幻想，風趣的幽默，昂然的詩情，突破了西歐傳統兒童文學道德說教的刻板公式，此後被翻譯成多種文字，走遍了全世界。
CHAPTER I Down the Rabbit-Hole
CHAPTER I Down the Rabbit-Hole
Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, `and what is the use of a book,'' thought Alice `without pictures or conversation?''
So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid), whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.
There was nothing so VERY remarkable in that; nor did Alice think it so VERY much out of the way to hear the Rabbit say to itself, `Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be late!'' (when she thought it over afterwards, it occurred to her that she ought to have wondered at this, but at the time it all seemed quite natural); but when the Rabbit actually TOOK A WATCH OUT OF ITS WAISTCOAT- POCKET, and looked at it, and then hurried on, Alice started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that she had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a watch to take out of it, and burning with curiosity, she ran across the field after it, and fortunately was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit-hole under the hedge. $$思$$兔$$網$$文$$檔$$共$$享$$與$$在$$線$$閱$$讀$$
