大家好,我们接着讲故事。Alice掉进了兔子洞以后经历了许许多多奇怪的事:身体变大又变小,会说话的动物…现在她正一个人坐在地上,突然听到远处的脚步声,原来是那只白兔朝她跑了过来,看起来很慌张的样子。

Oh dear! Where can I have dropped them? I must find them, or I'm sure The Duchess will chop off my head!
喔亲爱的!我把它们扔哪里了?我必须得找到它们,否则公爵夫人会砍我脑袋的!

Alice猜测他是在找刚才掉的手套和扇子,但是她也不知道掉哪里去了。经历过身体的变化以后,Alice现在看起来跟这只兔子一样大。白兔看到Alice时,生气地对她嚷。

Mary Ann! What are you doing out here? Run home this minute and get me a pair of gloves and a fan! Quickly!

How surprised he'll be when he finds out I'm not Mary Ann!

她在那呢!快!快去抓住她!
讲述者
But Alice was too fast for them. She ran far away from the White Rabbit's house, deeper and deeper into the forest until she became quite lost. She was wondering what she could eat or drink to make her grow to the right size again, when suddenly she saw in front of her a large mushroom - about the same size as herself, with a large blue caterpillar sitting on top of it, smoking a pipe and taking no notice of Alice at all. Will the caterpillar help Alice to grow again? I'll tell you next time.
Alice跑得很快,根本没人能追得上她,她跑得离白兔的房子远远的,跑进了一片森林,她在里面越走越深,直到最后迷了路。她想要变回原来的身体大小,但她不知道应该怎么办。突然,她看到面前有一只大蘑菇,大小和她差不多,一只蓝色的大毛毛虫坐在上面,抽着烟斗,根本没有注意到Alice 。
这只毛毛虫会帮助Alice变回去吗?我们下周接着讲。
