开篇
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 conversations?”
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.
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.
爱丽丝靠着姐姐坐在河岸上,开始感到非常厌倦,因为无事可做:她有一两次瞟了一眼姐姐正在读的那本书,可是书里既没有图画,也没有对话,“一本书要是没有图画和对话,”爱丽丝想,“那还有什么用呢?”
于是她在心里盘算着(她尽力去想,因为炎热的天气使她感到又困又迷糊),编一个雏菊花环的乐趣,是否抵得上起身去摘雏菊的麻烦,就在这时,一只粉红眼睛的白兔突然从她身边跑过。
这本身并没有什么非常了不起的地方;爱丽丝也没有觉得听见兔子自言自语说“哦天哪!哦天哪!我要迟到了!”有什么太出格的(事后她想起来,才觉得自己当时本该对此感到惊奇,可在那个时候,这一切似乎都十分自然);可是当那兔子真的从背心口袋里掏出一块怀表,看了看,然后又匆匆赶路时,爱丽丝猛地站了起来,因为她脑子里闪过一个念头:她从来没有见过一只兔子会有背心口袋,或者还能从里面掏出一块怀表来。她心中燃烧着好奇,便跑着穿过田野去追它,幸好还来得及看见它钻进树篱下面的一个大兔子洞里。
