第九章 ：柴郡猫的笑容

Chapter 9: The Cheshire Cat’s Smile

爱丽丝走到一个岔路口。

Alice comes to a crossroads.

四周立着许多乱七八糟的指示牌。

There are many messy signposts all around.

她皱着眉头，说：“我到底该往哪边走呢？”

She frowns and says, “Which way ought I to go?”

她越看越困惑。

The more she looks, the more confused she feels.

忽然，树林里传来一阵古怪的歌声。

Suddenly, a strange song comes from the forest.

歌声带着神秘又调皮的味道。

The song sounds both mysterious and mischievous.

爱丽丝紧张地四处张望。

Alice looks around nervously.

她突然看见黑暗中一张大嘴。

She suddenly sees a big mouth in the darkness.

大嘴咧开，露出一排闪亮的牙齿。

The mouth grins wide, showing shining teeth.

笑容越来越清晰，一张猫的脸慢慢显现出来。

The smile grows clearer, and a cat’s face slowly appears.

接着，整只猫的身体浮现出来。

Then the whole body of the cat appears.

那是一只紫红相间的猫，慵懒地趴在树上。

It is a purple-and-pink striped cat, lying lazily on the tree.

猫说：“你好，小姑娘。”

The cat says, “Hello, little girl.”

爱丽丝说：“你是谁？”

Alice says, “Who are you?”

猫笑着说：“我是柴郡猫。”

The cat smiles and says, “I am the Cheshire Cat.”

爱丽丝说：“我在找一只兔子。”

Alice says, “I am looking for a rabbit.”

柴郡猫诡异地笑着说：“兔子疯了。”

The Cheshire Cat grins strangely and says, “The Rabbit is mad.”

爱丽丝皱起眉头，说：“我不想找疯子。”

Alice frowns and says, “I don’t want to look for mad people.”

柴郡猫说：“这里的人几乎都疯了。”

The Cheshire Cat says, “Almost everyone here is mad.”

他补充说：“你应该也注意到了。”

He adds, “You must have noticed that.”

猫的笑容越咧越大。

The cat’s grin grows wider.

猫说：“我也很不正常。”

The cat says, “I am not normal either.”

爱丽丝瞪大眼睛，感到又害怕又好奇。

Alice opens her eyes wide, feeling both afraid and curious.

猫发出一阵诡异的笑声，慢慢消失在黑夜里。

The cat gives a strange laugh and slowly fades into the night.

黑暗中只剩下那张笑脸一闪一闪。

Only the grin remains in the darkness, shining faintly.
