🔊 The King and Queen of Hearts were seated on their throne when they arrived, with a great crowd assembled about them-all sorts of little birds and beasts, as well as the whole pack of cards: the Knave was standing before them, in chains, with a soldier on each side to guard him; and near the King was the White Rabbit, with a trumpet in one hand, and a scroll of parchment in the other.

当爱丽丝他们抵达时,国王和红心王后正坐在王座上,周围聚集了一大群--各种小鸟小兽,还有整副扑克牌:红心杰克站在他们面前,戴着镣铐,两旁各有一名士兵看守；国王旁边是白兔,一手拿着喇叭,一手拿着羊皮纸卷。

But there seemed to be no chance of this, so she began looking at everything about her, to pass away the time.

法庭正中央摆着一张桌子,上面放着一大盘馅饼:它们看起来美味极了,让爱丽丝光是看着就觉得很饿--“我希望他们快点审完,”她想,“然后就可以分点心吃了！”但看来没这机会,于是她开始打量周围的一切来消磨时间。

She said this last word two or three times over to herself, being rather proud of it: for she thought, and rightly too, that very few little girls of her age knew the meaning of it at all. However, 'jury-men' would have done just as well.

“‘那是陪审席,’爱丽丝想,‘那十二个生物,（她不得不说‘生物’,你瞧,因为它们有的是动物,有的是鸟,）‘我想它们就是陪审员吧。’她把最后这个词对自己重复了两三遍,颇为得意:因为她想,也确实如此,像她这个年纪的小女孩很少知道这个词的意思。不过,‘陪审员’这个词也一样管用。

'A nice muddle their slates'll be in before the trial's over!' thought Alice.

爱丽丝能看得一清二楚,仿佛正从它们的肩膀上看过去一样,所有的陪审员都在自己的石板上写下了‘蠢透了！’,她甚至能看出其中有一个连‘蠢’字都不会写,还得问旁边的邻居。“审判结束前,它们的石板准会乱成一团糟！”爱丽丝想。

有一位陪审员的铅笔吱吱作响。爱丽丝当然受不了这个,她绕到法庭那一边,走到它身后,很快就找了个机会把铅笔拿走了。她的动作如此之快,以至于那个可怜的小陪审员（那是比尔, 也就是蜥蜴）完全搞不清楚铅笔去哪儿了；所以,在四处寻找无果后,它不得不在当天剩下的时间里用一根手指写字；而这几乎没什么用,因为手指在石板上留不下任何痕迹。
