ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND 精彩片段：
CHAPTER VII
A Mad Tea-Party
There was a table set out under a tree in front of the house, and the March Hare and the Hatter were having tea at it: a Dormouse was sitting between them, fast asleep, and the other two were using it as a cushion, resting their elbows on it, and talking over its head. `Very uncomfortable for the Dormouse, thought Alice; `only, as its asleep, I suppose it doesnt mind.
The table was a large one, but the three were all crowded together at one corner of it: `No room! No room! they cried out when they saw Alice coming. `Theres PLENTY of room! said Alice indignantly, and she sat down in a large arm-chair at one end of the table.
`Have some wine, the March Hare said in an encouraging tone.
Alice looked all round the table, but there was nothing on it but tea. `I dont see any wine, she remarked.
`There isnt any, said the March Hare.
`Then it wasnt very civil of you to offer it, said Alice angrily.
`It wasnt very civil of you to sit down without being invited, said the March Hare.
`I didnt know it was YOUR table, said Alice; `its laid for a great many more than three.
`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.
`You should learn not to make personal remarks, Alice said with some severity; `its very rude.
The Hatter opened his eyes very wide on hearing this; but all he SAID was, `Why is a raven like a writing-desk?
`Come, we shall have some fun now! thought Alice. `Im glad theyve begun asking riddles.--I believe I can guess that, she added aloud.
`Do you mean that you think you can find out the answer to it? said the March Hare.
