"Alice's adventures in wonderland"3: tears tan(1)
"Curiouser and curiouser!"said Alice.(She was very surprised, and for a minute she forgot how to speak good English.)
"I shall be as tall as a house in a minute,"she said.She tried to look down at her feet, and could only just see them.“Goodbye, feet!"she called.“Who will put on your shoes now Oh dear! What nonsense I'm talking!"
Just then her head hit the ceiling of the room.She was now about three metres high.Quickly! She took the little gold key from the table and hurried to the garden door.
Poor Alice! She lay on the floor and looked into the garden with one eye.She could not even put her head through the door.
She began to cry again, and went on crying and crying.The tears ran down her face, and soon there was a large pool of water all around her on the floor.Suddenly she heard a voice, and she stopped crying to listen.
"Oh, the Duchess, the Duchess! She'll be so angry! I'm late, and she's waiting for me.Oh dear, oh dear!"
It was the white rabbit again.He was hurrying down the long room, with some white gloves in one hand and a large fan in the other hand.
Alice was afraid, but she needed help.She spoke in a quiet voice."Oh, please, sir-"
The Rabbit jumped wildly, dropped the gloves and the fan, and hurried away as fast as he could.
Alice picked up the fan and the gloves.The room was very hot, so she began to fan herself while she talked."Oh dear! How strange everything is today! Did I change in the night Am I a different person todayBut if I'm a different person, then the next question is-who am IAh, that's the mystery."
She began to feel very unhappy again, but then she looked down at her hand.She was wearing one of the rabbit's white gloves."How did I get it on my hand"she thought."Oh, I'm getting smaller again!"She looked round the room."I'm already less than a metre high.And getting smaller every second! How can I stop it"She saw the fan in her other hand, and quickly dropped it.
She was now very, very small, and the little garden door was locked again, and the little gold key was lying on the glass table.

《爱丽丝梦游奇境记》第3期:泪水谭(1)
“越奇越怪!”爱丽丝说。(她很奇怪,一会儿她就忘了怎么说好英语了。)
“只需要一分钟我就会长得像一所房子那么高,”她说。她试着看看自己的脚,刚刚能看到脚。“再见吧,脚!”她叫了起来。“现在谁能穿上你的鞋?噢,天哪!我在胡说些什么呀!”
正在这时,她的头碰到了天花板上。她现在大约有3米高。她赶快从桌上拿了小金钥匙,跑到通往花园的门那儿。
可怜的爱丽丝!她趴在地板上,用一只眼睛往花园里瞧。她连头都塞不进门里。
她又哭了起来,哭个不停。泪水从脸蛋儿滑落,很快在她周围的地板上积成一大潭水。突然,她听到一个声音,她止住哭声仔细听。
“噢,公爵夫人,公爵夫人!她要气坏了!我迟到了,她在等我呢。噢天哪,天哪!”
又是白兔,他正从那长房间那边走过来,一只手上拿了些白手套,另一只手上拿了把大扇子。
爱丽丝有点害怕,但她需要帮助。她轻声说:“嗯,先生,请--”
兔子猛地跳了起来,丢下手套和扇子,风一样地跑了。
爱丽丝拣起扇于和手套。房间里很热,于是她一边自言自语一边扇着扇子。“噢,我的天!今天的每一件事都多么奇怪!晚上我是不是变了呢?今天我是另外一个人了吗?但如果我变了个人,那下一个问题是——我倒底是谁?啊,真是个谜。”
她又伤心起来,然后她看看自己的手。她正戴着兔子的一只手套。“我怎么戴上这手套的呢?”她想。“噢,我现在又变小了!”她四下看看。“我已经不到一米高。每秒钟都在变小!我怎么才能不变小了呢?”她看到另一只手里的扇子,赶快扔了。
她现在很小很小了。可通往花园的小门又锁上了,而小金钥匙还在玻璃桌上。

"Alice's adventures in wonderland"4: tears tan(2)
"Things are worse than ever,"thought poor Alice.She turned away from the door, and fell into salt water, right up to her neck.At first she thought it was the sea, but then she saw it was the pool of tears.Her tears.Crying makes a lot of tears when you are three metres tall.
"Oh, why did I cry so much"said Alice.She swam around and looked for a way out, but the pool was very big.Just then she saw an animal in the water near her.It looked like a large animal to Alice, but it was only a mouse.
"Shall I speak to it"thought Alice."Everything's very strange down here, so perhaps a mouse can talk."
So she began:"Oh mouse, do you know the way out of this poolI am very tired of swimming, oh Mouse!"(Alice did not know if this was the right way to speak to a mouse.But she wanted to be polite.)
The mouse looked at her with its little eyes, but it said nothing.
"Perhaps it doesn't understand English,"thought Alice."Perhaps it's a French mouse."So she began again, and said in French: “Where is my cat"(This was the first sentence in her French lesson-book.)
The mouse jumped half out of the water and looked at her angrily.
"Oh, I'm so sorry!"cried Alice quickly."Of course, you don't like cats, do you"
"Like cats"cried the mouse in a high, angry voice."Does any mouse like cats"
"Well, perhaps not,"Alice began kindly.
But the mouse was now swimming quickly away, and soon Alice was alone again.At last she found her way out of the pool and sat down on the ground.She felt very lonely and unhappy.But after a while the white rabbit came past again, looking for his white gloves and his fan.
