It was too dark to see anything
Either the well was very deep, or she fell very slowly, for she had plenty of time as she went down to look about her and to wonder what was going to happen next. First, she tried to look down and make out what she was coming to, but it was too dark to see anything; then she looked at the sides of the well, and noticed that they were filled with cupboards and book-shelves; here and there she saw maps and pictures hung upon pegs. She took down a jar from one of the shelves as she passed; it was labelled `ORANGE MARMALADE', but to her great disappointment it was empty: she did not like to drop the jar for fear of killing somebody, so managed to put it into one of the cupboards as she fell past it.
也許是井太深了，也許是她自己感到下沉得太慢，因此，她有足夠的時間去東張西望，而且去猜測下一步會發(fā)生什么事，首先，她往下看，想 知道會掉到什么地方。但是下面太黑了，什么都看不見，于是，她就看四周的井壁，只見井壁上排滿了碗櫥和書架，以及掛在釘子上的地圖和 圖畫，她從一個架子上拿了一個罐頭，罐頭上寫著“桔子醬”，卻是空的，她很失望，她不敢把空罐頭扔下去，怕砸著下面的人，因此，在繼續(xù)往下掉的時候，她就把空罐頭放到另一個碗櫥里去了。
