刘易斯·卡罗尔1832年出生于英国，1898年去世。卡罗尔最著名的书是《爱丽丝梦游仙境》（186S年出版）和《透过镜子》（1871年出版）。除了作家之外，他还是一名数学家和摄影师。
Adapted from Chapter 6: Humpty Dumpty, Through the Looking-Glass.
改编自第六章：矮胖，透过镜子。
Alice met different kinds of creatures in this world, including Humpty Dumpty, a dumpy person who looks like an egg.
爱丽丝在这个世界上遇到了各种各样的生物，包括看起来像鸡蛋的矮胖人Humpty Dumpty。
"What a beautiful belt you've got on!" Alice suddenly said.
“At least," she corrected herself, “a beautiful scarf, I should have said - no, a belt, I mean -I beg your pardon!"
Humpty Dumpty looked thoroughly offended', and she began to wish she hadn't chosen that subject.
矮胖的Dumpty看起来很生气，她开始希望自己没有选择那个话题。
“if only I knew," she thought to herself,“ which was neck and which was waist!“
“要是我知道就好了，”她心想，“哪个是脖子，哪个是腰！”
Evidently Humpty Dumpty was very angry, though he said nothing for a minute or two. When he did speak again, it was in a deep growl .“
显然，矮胖子很生气，尽管他有一两分钟什么也没说。当他再次说话时，那是一声低沉的咆哮？。”
It is a - most provoking' - thing" he said at last,“when a person doesn't know a scarf from a belt!“
他最后说：“当一个人不知道围巾和腰带的区别时，这是一件最令人恼火的事情！”
" I know it's very ignorant of me," Alice said,
so humbly that Humpty Dumpty relented.
“我知道这对我很无知，”爱丽丝谦逊地说，以至于亨普蒂·邓普蒂松口了。
“It's a scarf, child, and a beautiful one, as you say. It's a present from the White King and Queen. There now!“
“这是一条围巾，孩子，正如你所说，是一条美丽的围巾。这是白国王和王后的礼物。现在就在那里！”
"Is it really " said Alice, quite pleased to find that she had chosen a good subject, after all.
“真的吗？”爱丽丝说，她很高兴地发现自己选了一个好题目。
“They gave it to me," Humpty Dumpty continued thoughtfully, as he crossed one knee over the other and wrapped his hands round it. They gave it to me - as an un-birthday present.“
“I beg your pardon Alice said. “I mean, what is an un-birthday present “
“他们把它送给了我，”Humpty Dumpty一边若有所思地继续说道，一边将一只膝盖交叉在另一只膝盖上，双手环抱着它。他们把它作为联合国生日礼物送给了我。”“对不起，”爱丽丝说，“我的意思是，什么是联合国生日礼物？”
“A present given when it isn't your birthday, of course," Humpty Dumpty said.
Humpty Dumpty说：“当然，不是你生日时送的礼物。”。
Alice considered a little. “I like birthday presents best," she said at last.
爱丽丝考虑了一下。“我最喜欢生日礼物，”她最后说。
“You don't know what you're talking about!" cried Humpty Dumpty.
“你不知道你在说什么！”矮胖子叫道。
"How many days are there in a year “
“一年有多少天？”
“Three hundred and sixty-five," said Alice.
“三百六十五，”爱丽丝说。
“And how many birthdays have you “
“你过了多少个生日？”
“One“
“一”
“And if you take one from three hundred and sixty-five, what remains “
“如果你从三百六十五中取一，剩下什么？”
Three hundred and sixty-four, of course.“
三百六十四，当然。”
Humpty Dumpty looked doubtful. “I'd rather see that done on paper," he said.
矮胖子看起来很怀疑。“我宁愿把它写在纸上，”他说。
Alice couldn't help smiling as she took out her notebook, and worked the sum for him:
爱丽丝忍不住笑了，她拿出笔记本，
为他计算了一下总数：
Humpty Dumpty took the notebook, and looked at it carefully. "That seems to be done right 一" he began.
矮胖的Dumpty接过笔记本，仔细地看了看。“看来做得不错一”他开始说。
“You're holding it upside down! ” Alice interrupted.
“你把它倒过来了！”爱丽丝打断了她的话。
“To be sure I was! ” Humpty Dumpty said happily, as she turned it round for him.
“我确实是！”亨蒂·丹普蒂高兴地说，一边为他转过身来。
I thought it looked a little odd. As I was saying, that seems to be done right -- though haven‘t time to look it over thoroughly right now –
我觉得这看起来有点奇怪。正如我所说，这似乎做得很好——尽管现在还没有时间彻底检查-
and that shows that there are three hundred and sixty-four days when you might get un-birthday presents –“
这表明，有三百六十四天你可能会收到联合的生日礼物——
“Certainly," said Alice.
“当然可以。”爱丽丝说。

以下是一位女士关于圣诞节的回忆。读一读这个故事，找出为什么对她来说这是一个如此难忘的圣诞节。
I still remember the last Christmas Granny spent with us. It began in the middle of November on a cold, windy day, I remember the wind because Granny's grey hair was a mess when she arrived.
我仍然记得奶奶和我们一起度过的最后一个圣诞节。它始于11月中旬的一个寒冷多风的日子，我记得当时的风，因为奶奶来的时候，她的灰色头发乱糟糟的。
That was also the day Granny moved in. Somehow, at the time, I didn't know she was sick. Maybe was too young, maybe she hid it too well, or maybe l was just too excited that Christmas was on the way.
那也是奶奶搬进来的日子。不知怎么的，当时我不知道她生病了。也许她太年轻了，也许她藏得太好了，也许圣诞节即将到来，我太兴奋了。
After Granny moved in, she spent most of her time on the brown sofa by the fire. Sometimes she was quiet, but she seemed happy.
奶奶搬进来后，大部分时间都在炉火旁的棕色沙发上度过。有时她很安静，但看起来很开心。
When I wrote a letter to Father Christmas telling him about the presents I wanted, Granny made an effort to help me. Her hand was slightly shaky, but she wrote “Father Christmas, the North Pole" on the envelope.
当我给圣诞老人写了一封信，告诉他我想要的礼物时，奶奶尽力帮助我。她的手有点颤抖，但她在信封上写着“圣诞老人，北极”。
In December, our excitement grew each day - lights appeared in the streets, Christmas cards arrived, and there was snow everywhere.
12月，我们的兴奋与日俱增——街道上出现了灯光，圣诞卡到货了，到处都是雪。
Granny and I made sugar biscuits, stuffed the turkey and then I sat on my granny's lap and we sang Christmas songs.
我和奶奶做了糖饼干，塞了火鸡，然后我坐在奶奶的腿上唱圣诞歌。
My favourite song was Frosty the Snowman and I loved the bit that went "Thumpety thump-thump, thumpety-thump-thump, look at Frosty go!" Granny had the patience to sing it over and over again.
我最喜欢的歌是《雪人霜冻》，我喜欢这首歌中的一句：“砰，砰，看看霜冻！”奶奶有耐心唱了一遍又一遍。
On Christmas Eve, Granny took a seat by the fire as we put up the Christmas tree.
圣诞节前夕，当我们竖起圣诞树时，奶奶坐在炉火旁。
I hung most of the decorations on the branches.
That's the most beautiful tree I've ever seen," Granny said.
我把大部分的装饰品挂在树枝上。那是我见过的最美丽的树。”奶奶说。
Then she started singing, "Oh, Christmas tree, oh, Christmas tree, you fill my heart with music ...“
然后她开始唱歌，“哦，圣诞树，哦，圣诞棵，你让我的心充满了音乐……”
Before bed, Granny and I left a plate of sugar biscuits out for Father Christmas,and put a stocking at the end of my bed.
睡前，我和奶奶为圣诞老人留下了一盘糖饼干，并在床尾放了一只袜子。

My stocking was full of small toys and sweets on Christmas morning, and there were presents under the tree.
圣诞节早上，我的袜子里装满了小玩具和糖果，树下还有礼物。

It was a music box with a ballet dancer inside.
我有什么特别的东西送给你，”奶奶轻声说。“这是给你所有的宝贝的，圣诞快乐。”那是一个音乐盒，里面有一个芭蕾舞演员。
After breakfast, Auntie Kath and my cousin David arrived. While Mum, Dad and Auntie Kath got lunch ready, David and I played outside.
早餐后，凯丝阿姨和我的表姐大卫来了。当妈妈、爸爸和阿姨凯丝准备午餐时，大卫和我在外面玩。
We raced around the garden and rolled a big snowball to make a lovely snowman, Granny stayed inside by the fire. I remember catching her eye through the window.我们在花园里跑来跑去，滚了一个大雪球堆了一个可爱的雪人，奶奶呆在里面的炉火旁。我记得我透过窗户看到了她的眼睛。
"Come outside, Granny," I called, but she just waved. Lunch was late, but it was a loud and exciting affair. “到外面来，奶奶，”我叫道，但她只是挥手。午餐迟到了，但这是一件喧闹而激动人心的事情。
We put on silly paper hats and had a big turkey with potatoes, followed by Christmas pudding.
我们戴上愚蠢的纸帽子，吃了一只大火鸡配土豆，然后吃了圣诞布丁。
David put so much pudding in his mouth that he couldn't swallow.“How's the pudding " Granny asked.“Mmmph, mmmph, mmmph," said David.
大卫把布丁放进嘴里，咽不下。“布丁怎么样？”奶奶问道。“嗯，嗯，嗯。”大卫说。
Auntie Kath didn't think it was funny, but the rest of us did. Granny laughed so much that her paper hat fell off.

Each year, I take out the music box she gave me. Inside I keep Granny's paper hat and the letter she helped me write that Christmas.

几年前，当我不再相信圣诞老人时，妈妈把这封信还给了我。
When I think about what makes Christmas somagical, it's not just gifts and Father Christmas that come to mind, It's also my memory of Granny.
当我想到是什么让圣诞节变得有意义时，脑海中浮现的不仅仅是礼物和圣诞老人，还有我对奶奶的记忆。
