"I'm getting taller and taller," Alice said. She looked down at her feet. They seemed very far away.
"Goodbye, feet! OUCH!"
Alice's head hit the ceiling (天花板) of the room. She was now more than nine feet tall.
She picked up the key and went back to the door.But she was too big now. She sat down and started to cry again. She cried and cried. Her tears fell on the ground and soon there was a pool of water around her.
PATTER, PATTER, PATTER, PATTER. She looked up. The White Rabbit was running towards her. He had a fan in one hand and a pair of white gloves in the other. As he ran, he muttered, "Oh, the Duchess! The Duchess. She's going to be very angry."
Alice whispered "Sir, please," but her voice frightened the White Rabbit. He dropped the fan and the gloves and ran away quickly down a dark passage. Alice put the key on the table, picked up the gloves and the fan and started to fan herself.
"How strange everything is today," she said sadly. "Yesterday things were normal. Did I change during the night? Am I a different girl today? If I am a different girl, who am I? Am I Mabel ( Mabel was a girl at Alice's school )?"
"No, I can't be! I know a lot of things and she knows well only a few."
"I wonder if I can remember the multiplication tables (乘法口诀 ). Let's see, four times five is twelve, and four times six is thirteen, and four times seven is—oh dear! What about Geography? London is the capital of Paris, and Paris is the capital of Rome, and Rome—no, that's wrong. Perhaps I am Mabel!"
