But the kitten began to wash its other paw, and pretended it hadn't heard the question.
但小猫开始洗另一只爪子，装作没听见。
…and it really was a kitten, after all.
……那毕竟就是只小猫。
The Red Queen did not try to fight or escape… but her face grew very small, and her eyes got large and green…and, as Alice went on shaking her, she grew shorter -- and fatter -- and softer -- and rounder -- and…
红方王后并没有试图自卫或逃跑……但她的脸变得很小，眼睛变大变绿……爱丽丝不停地摇晃着，她又变得更矮——更胖——更软——更丰满——更……
"You shouldn't be so noisy, Your Majesty," Alice said to the black kitten. "You've woken me out of a very nice dream. I've been all through the looking-glass world. And I think that you were the Red Queen, weren't you?"
爱丽丝对黑猫说：“你不该这么吵，陛下，你把我从一个美梦中吵醒。我已漫游了整个镜中世界。我想你是红方王后，不是吗？
She took the Red Queen off the table as she spoke, and shook her backwards and forwards, very hard.
她说着，便把红方王后从桌上拿开，用力地前后摇晃起来。
But the kitten turned its head away and wouldn't look at the Queen.
但小猫扭转了头，不愿正面看王后。
It is impossible to guess if a kitten is saying "yes" or "no". Alice looked among the chessmen on the table until she found the Red Queen. Then she sat on the carpet and put the kitten and the Queen to look at each other.
要揣测小猫的回答是“是”，还是“否”是不可能的。爱丽丝看着桌上的棋子，直到她找到了红方王后。然后她坐在地毯上，把小猫与王后摆在一起，互相对视。
Who do you think was dreaming?
你以为是谁做了这个梦？
"Now, Kitty," Alice went on, "who was it who dreamed it all, do you think? No, listen-don't start washing your paw snow. You see, Kitty, it was either me or the Red King. He was part of my dream, of course -- but then I was part of his dream too! Was it the Red King, Kitty?"
爱丽丝接着说：“好了，小猫，你认为是谁做了这一场梦？不，听着——现在别洗爪子了。小猫你也清楚，不是我就是红方国王。他当然是我梦中的一部分——然而，我也是他梦中的一部分！是红方国王吗，小猫？
"Curtsy while you're thinking what to say," Alice said, with a little laugh. "It saves time, remember!"
“考虑话题前要先行个礼。别忘了，这样会节省时间！”爱丽丝微笑了一下说。
