看來,守在小門旁沒意思了,于是,她回到桌子邊,希望還能再找到一把鑰匙,至少也得找到一本教人變成望遠鏡里小人的書,可這次,她發(fā)現(xiàn)桌上有一只小瓶。愛麗絲說:“這小瓶剛才確實不在這里。”瓶口上系著一張小紙條,上面印著兩個很漂亮的大字:“喝我”。
There seemed to be no use in waiting by the little door, so she went back to the table, half hoping she might find another key on it, or at any rate a book of rules for shutting people up like telescopes: this time she found a little bottle on it, (`which certainly was not here before,' said Alice,) and round the neck of the bottle was a paper label, with the words `DRINK ME' beautifully printed on it in large letters.
It was all very well to say `Drink me,' but the wise little Alice was not going to do THAT in a hurry. `No, I'll look first,' she said, `and see whether it's marked "poison" or not'; for she had read several nice little histories about children who had got burnt, and eaten up by wild beasts and other unpleasant things, all because they WOULD not remember the simple rules their friends had taught them: such as, that a red-hot poker will burn you if you hold it too long; and that if you cut your finger VERY deeply with a knife, it usually bleeds; and she had never forgotten that, if you drink much from a bottle marked `poison,' it is almost certain to disagree with you, sooner or later.
