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?'”
愛麗絲靠著姐姐坐在河岸邊很久了，由于沒有什么事情可做，她開始感到厭倦，她一次又—次地瞧瞧姐姐正在讀的那本書，可是書里沒有圖畫，也沒有對話，愛麗絲想：“要是一本書里沒有圖畫和對話，那還有什么意思呢？”

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.
天熱得她非常困，甚至迷糊了，但是愛麗絲還是認真地盤算著，做一只雛菊花環(huán)的樂趣，能不能抵得上摘雛菊的麻煩呢？就在這時，突然一只粉紅眼睛的白兔，貼著她身邊跑過去了。

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.
愛麗絲并沒有感到奇怪，甚至于聽到兔子自言自語地說：“哦，親愛的，哦，親愛的，我太遲了。”愛麗絲也沒有感到離奇，雖然過后，她認為這事應該奇怪，可當時她的確感到很自然，但是兔子竟然從背心口袋里襲里掏出一塊懷表看看，然后又匆匆忙忙跑了。這時，愛麗絲跳了起來，她突然想到：從來沒有見過穿著有口袋背心的兔子，更沒有見到過兔子還能從口袋里拿出—塊表來，她好奇地穿過田野，緊緊地追趕那只兔子，剛好看見兔子跳進了矮樹下面的一個大洞。

In another moment down went Alice after it, never once considering how in the world she was to get out again.
愛麗絲也緊跟著跳了進去，根本沒考慮怎么再出來。

The rabbit-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly down, so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself before she found herself falling down a very deep well.
這個兔子洞開始像走廊，筆直地向前，后來就突然向下了，愛麗絲還沒有來得及站住，就掉進了—個深井里。
