All the time they were playing the Queen never left off quarrelling with the other players, and shouting 'Off with his head!' or 'Off with her head!' Those whom she sentenced were taken into custody by the soldiers, who of course had to leave off being arches to do this, so that by the end of half an hour or so there were no arches left, and all the players, except the King, the Queen, and Alice, were in custody and under sentence of execution.
整个槌球游戏进行中，王后不断地同别人吵嘴，嚷着“砍掉他的头”或“砍掉她的头”。被宣判的人，立刻就被士兵带去监禁起来。这样，执行命令的士兵就不能再回来做球门了。过了约莫半个小时，球场上已经没有一个球门了。除了国王王后和爱丽丝，所有参加槌球游戏的人，都被判了砍头监管起来了。

Then the Queen left off, quite out of breath, and said to Alice, 'Have you seen the Mock Turtle yet?'
于是，累得喘不过气的王后停了下来，对爱丽丝说：“你还没去看素甲鱼吧？”

'No,' said Alice. 'I don't even know what a Mock Turtle is.'
“没有，”爱丽丝说，“我还不知道素甲鱼是什么东西呢！”

'It's the thing Mock Turtle Soup is made from,' said the Queen.
“不是有素甲鱼汤（英国菜中有素甲鱼汤，是用素有模制的甲负汤。如同中国的豆制品素鸡，名为素鸡，实则同鸡不相干的。）吗，”王后说，“那么当然有素甲鱼了。”

'I never saw one, or heard of one,' said Alice.
“我从来没见过，也从来没听说过。”爱丽丝说。

'Come on, then,' said the Queen, 'and he shall tell you his history,'
“那么咱们走吧，”王后说，“他会给你讲他的故事的。”

As they walked off together, Alice heard the King say in a low voice, to the company generally, 'You are all pardoned.' 'Come, THAT'S a good thing!' she said to herself, for she had felt quite unhappy at the number of executions the Queen had ordered.
当地们一起走开的时候，爱丽丝听到国王小声地对客人们说“你们都被赦免了。”爱丽丝想这倒是个好事。王后判了那么多人砍头，使她很难过。

They very soon came upon a Gryphon, lying fast asleep in the sun.
她们很快就碰见了一只鹰头狮，正晒着太阳睡觉呢。

'Up, lazy thing!' said the Queen, 'and take this young lady to see the Mock Turtle, and to hear his history. I must go back and see after some executions I have ordered'; and she walked off, leaving Alice alone with the Gryphon. Alice did not quite like the look of the creature, but on the whole she thought it would be quite as safe to stay with it as to go after that savage Queen: so she waited.
“快起来，懒家伙！”王后说道，“带这位年轻小姐去看素甲鱼，听他的故事。我还得检查我的命令执行得怎样了。”她说罢就走了，把爱丽丝留在鹰头狮那儿。爱丽丝不大喜欢这个动物的模样。但是她想，与其同那个野蛮的王后在一起，还不如跟它在一起来得安全，所以，她就留下来等候着。

The Gryphon sat up and rubbed its eyes: then it watched the Queen till she was out of sight: then it chuckled. 'What fun!' said the Gryphon, half to itself, half to Alice.
 
鹰头狮坐起来揉揉眼睛，瞧着王后，直到她走得看不见了，才笑了起来。

'What IS the fun?' said Alice.
“你笑什么？”爱丽丝问。

'Why, SHE,' said the Gryphon. 'It's all her fancy, that: they never executes nobody, you know. Come on!'
“她呀，”鹰头狮说，“这全是她的想象，你知道，他们从来没有砍掉过别人的头。咱们走吧。”

'Everybody says "come on!" here,' thought Alice, as she went slowly after it: 'I never was so ordered about in all my life, never!'
爱丽丝跟在后面走，心中想道：“这儿谁都对我说‘走吧’‘走吧’，我从来没有叫人这么支使过来，支使过去的。从来没有！”

They had not gone far before they saw the Mock Turtle in the distance, sitting sad and lonely on a littleledge of rock, and, as they came nearer, Alice could hear him sighing as if his heart would break. She pitied him deeply. 'What is his sorrow?' she asked the Gryphon, and the Gryphon answered, very nearly in the same words as before, 'It's all his fancy, that: he hasn't got no sorrow, you know. Come on!'
他们走了不远，就远远望见了那只素甲鱼，孤独而悲伤地坐在一块岩石的边缘上，当再走近一点时，爱丽丝听见它在叹息着，好像它的心都要碎了，她打心眼儿里同情它。“它有什么伤心事呢？”她这样间鹰头狮。鹰头狮还是用同刚才差不多的话回答：“这全是它的想象，你知道，它根本没有什么伤心事。走吧。”

So they went up to the Mock Turtle, who looked at them with large eyes full of tears, but said nothing.
他们走近了素甲鱼，它用饱含着眼泪的大眼睛望着他们，可是一句话也不讲。

'This here young lady,' said the Gryphon, 'she wants for to know your history, she do.'
“这位年轻小姐希望听听你的经历。”鹰头狮对票甲鱼说，“她真的这么希望。”

'I'll tell it her,' said the Mock Turtle in a deep, hollow tone: 'sit down, both of you, and don't speak a word till I've finished.'
“我很愿意告诉她。”素甲鱼用深沉的声音说，“你们都坐下，在我讲的时候别作声。”

So they sat down, and nobody spoke for some minutes. Alice thought to herself, 'I don't see how he can EVEN finish, if he doesn't begin.' But she waited patiently.
于是他们都坐了下来。有一阵子谁都不说话。爱丽丝想：“要是它不开始，怎么能结束呢？”但是她仍然耐心地等待着。

'Once,' said the Mock Turtle at last, with a deep sigh, 'I was a real Turtle.'
后来，素甲鱼终于开口了，它深深地叹息了一声，说：“从前，我曾经是一只真正的甲鱼。”
