路易斯·卡羅爾：無(wú)意義的話

Twas brillig, and the slithy toves

滑菱鲆在緩慢扭動(dòng)

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;

時(shí)而翻轉(zhuǎn)時(shí)而平衡;

All mimsy were the borogoves,

這扭捏作態(tài)展示了

And the mome raths outgrabe.

蠢人的早熟、懶人的平庸。

Beware the Jabberwock, my son!

提防弦外之音啊，我的孩子!

The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!

舌能傷人、撓破臉皮!

Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun

小心鳥兒啾啾，躲避那

The frumious Bandersnatch!

毒蛇猛獸猶恐不及!

He took his vorpal sword in hand:

他長(zhǎng)劍在握

Long time the manxome foe he sought

渴望交戰(zhàn)尋覓對(duì)手

So rested he by the Tumtum tree,

樹鳴瑟瑟他佇立

And stood awhile in thought.

拭目以待稍假思索。

And as in uffish thought he stood.

他豪情萬(wàn)丈

The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,

隱語(yǔ)帶著光芒

Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,

清風(fēng)徐徐渡水穿林

And burbled as it came!

竊笑登場(chǎng)!

One, two! One, two! And through and through

一、二!一、二!勇往直前，

The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!

長(zhǎng)劍出鞘虎視眈眈!

He left it dead, and with its head

雙刃飲血,提著頭

He went galumphing back.

他得意洋洋而凱旋。

And thou hast slain the Jabberwock?

你已除卻流言蜚語(yǔ)了吧?

Come to my arms, my beamish boy!

春風(fēng)得意的孩子，快與我擁抱!

O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!

啊，多么快樂(lè)!不必躲避!重見(jiàn)天日!

He chortled in his joy.

他抿嘴偷笑。

Twas brillig, and the slithy toves

滑菱鲆在緩慢游動(dòng)

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;

時(shí)而翻轉(zhuǎn)時(shí)而平衡;

All mimsy were the borogoves,

這扭捏作態(tài)展示了

And the mome raths outgrabe.

蠢人的早熟、懶人的平庸。
