“Look, there's another argument over there!(看,那边又在争论了!)”爱丽丝停下脚步,看到双胞胎正围绕着一株和树一样高的番茄大声争论。一个是Tweedledee,另一个则是Tweedledum。
“This tomato has been watered so much that it will grow into Jack's beanstalk!(这番茄浇太多水了,简直要长成杰克的豆茎!)”Tweedledee指责道,他的手指几乎戳到Tweedledum脸上。
Tweedledee满不在乎地耸耸肩:“I'll take care of the garden, you just play. Just stay out of trouble.(我负责照看花园,你只负责玩就是了。咱们井水不犯河水。)”
“You don't understand! At champion Alice's, tomatoes need to be transplanted at some point, and planted next to basil.(你根本不懂!在冠军爱丽丝那,番茄到了某个阶段是需要移植的,而且要种在罗勒旁边。)”Tweedledum坚持道,他仿佛很了解现实世界的种植经验。
“Oh, of course. Alice champion.(哦,当然,冠军爱丽丝那儿,)”Tweedledee不以为然,“But you never went there.(但你没去过她那儿。)”
“No wonder you were never left in the queen's army!(怪不得你从来都没被留在女王的军队里!)”Tweedledum有些激动。
“Yes, the queen didn't keep me.(没错,女王没把我留下来)”Tweedledee冷冷答道。
疯帽子看得津津有味,扭过头笑嘻嘻地对爱丽丝说:“These guys make as much noise as a magic teapot every time!(这些家伙每次都吵得像下了魔法的茶壶一样嘈杂!)”
“Do they always do that? (他们总是这样吗?)”爱丽丝好奇地问。
“Always.”疯帽子回答,远处的争吵像煮沸的水一样激烈。
他们走着,爱丽丝带着一丝好奇,问疯帽子:“Don't you think they're too noisy?()m你不会觉得他们太吵了吗?)”
“Noisy? Of course not! This is the spice of life.(吵?当然不!这种小打小闹简直是生活的调味品。)”疯帽子摇了摇头,眼神却飘向远方,仿佛已经脱离了这片争吵的土地。
“Why are you always so carefree?(你为什么总是这样悠哉呢?)”爱丽丝问道,她看到疯帽子不像平时那样急着赶路,反而步伐放慢,似乎在享受这段旅程。
到了山丘顶端,他们停了下来,俯瞰着远处的大海,海浪翻滚,仿佛一只巨大的海豚在嬉戏。爱丽丝指向远方,“You know what? In the real world, people have been swallowed by the sea.(你知道吗?在现实世界,这里曾经有人被海水吞没。)”
“Who?”塔兰特眨了眨眼睛。
“A poet. His name was Shelley.(一个诗人,他的名字叫雪莱。)”
“Oh, and after that?(哦,那之后呢?)”塔兰特像爱丽丝一样好奇,尽管这听起来有些悲伤。
爱丽丝叹了口气,眼神似乎穿越时空,看到了那遥远的场景。“His friends cremated his body on the shore, and the flames burned away his flesh, but his heart was preserved. Corcordium, as they call it, the heart of hearts.(他的朋友们在岸边火化了他的身体,火焰烧尽了他的□□,但他的心脏被保留下来。Cor cordium,他们这样称呼,众心之心。)”
爱丽丝安静了一会儿,她感受到了一种深沉的情感在疯帽子周围弥漫。
“What do you want to know?(有什么是你想知道的?)”她轻轻地问。
疯帽子沉默了片刻,转头看向爱丽丝,笑意微微收敛,甚至有些痛苦。“I know nothing, my dear Alice. What really matters, i don't understand.(我什么都不知道,亲爱的爱丽丝。真正重要的事情,我也不明白。)”
爱丽丝感到内心有些困惑,但又无法抗拒这股神秘的吸引力。她看着疯帽子,仿佛想要从他的眼中看出更多的东西,但他只是一如既往地笑着,那笑容背后似乎隐藏了无数故事。
白皇宫越来越近了。
