路易斯 卡罗尔 诗 爱丽丝漫游奇境

爱丽丝漫游奇境 路易斯  卡罗尔
金秋下午实在闲，我们河上来划船，
小小玉臂划双桨，不会划船只会玩
船儿水上乱转圈，我心不知在何方。

淘气顽皮三姐妹，大好时光来划船，
不管我精神好不好。还催我把故事谈。
三人同声来催促，拒绝她们实在难 。
大姐性格最焦急 ，“快讲故事别迟疑，”  
二姐口气很温存，“越是玄幻越动人，”
三姐最爱来插话，叽叽喳喳惹人嫌。   

我把故事说一遭，她们顿时静悄悄，
小小姑娘爱丽丝，仙境里面来游玩，
玄幻世界奇妙多，鸟儿也会把话说，
姐妹们听得眨眼睛，此身不知在何方。

玄幻故事说一轮，才思枯竭要暂停，
“欲听后事如何样，等到下回说分明”，
“现在就是下一回，快快说来不要停。”

一段一段继续编，  情节越来越惊玄，
直到故事全说完，姑娘们才肯把家还，
晚霞染红半边天，荡起双桨尽开颜。

奇妙童话已诞生，贩夫走卒齐惊叹，
如同一朵艳丽花，来自远方人人夸，
可爱的姑娘爱丽丝，奇境里面来游玩，
玄幻世界舞魔杖，历尽神奇若等闲。
从此芳名传天下，上帝保佑不列颠。
我为姑娘长叹息，诗成余意尚彷徨。

All in the golden afternoon
1  
All in the golden afternoon
Full leisurely we glide;
For both   our oars, with little skill,
By little arms are plied,
While little hands make vain pretence
Our wanderings to guide.
  2        
Ah, cruel Three! In such an hour,
Beneath such dreamy weather,
  To beg a tale of breath too weak
  To stir the tiniest feather!
  Yet what can one poor voice avail
  Against three tongues together
3
   Imperious Prima flashes forth
   Her edict "to begin it"--
    In gentler tone Secunda hopes
    "There will be nonsense in it!"--
    While Tertia interrupts the tale
    Not_more_ than once a minute.
  4        
Anon, to sudden silence won,
In fancy they pursue
The dream-child moving through a land
  Of wonders wild and new,
In friendly chat with bird or beast--
And half believe it true.
  5
  And ever, as the story drained
  The wells of fancy dry.
  And faintly strove that weary one
   To putthe subject by,
  "The rest next time--" "It _is_ next time!"
   The happy voices cry.
         
6
   Thus grew the tale of Wonderland:
   Thus slowly, one by one,
   Its quaint events were hammered out--
  And now the tale is done,
  And home we steer, a merry crew,
  Beneath the setting sun.
   7         
  Alice ! a childish story take,
  And with a gentle hand
   Lay it where Childhood's dreams are twined
   In Memory's mystic band,
   Like pilgrim's wither'd wreath of flowers
    Pluck'din a far-off land..
