'And who is Dinah, if I might venture to ask the question?' said the Lory.
“請允許我冒昧地問一下，那么，黛娜是誰呢？”鸚鵡說。

Alice replied eagerly, for she was always ready to talk about her pet: 'Dinah's our cat. And she's such a capital one for catching mice you can't think! And oh, I wish you could see her after the birds! Why, she'll eat a little bird as soon as look at it!'
愛麗絲隨時都樂意談?wù)撍膼鄣男氊悾运裏嵝牡鼗卮穑骸镑炷仁俏业呢?，她抓老鼠可是好樣的，簡直想象不出來。嘿，我還希望你看到她怎么抓鳥的哩，她只要看見一只鳥，一眨眼就合把它吃到肚子里去的！”

This speech caused a remarkable sensation among the party. Some of the birds hurried off at once: one old Magpie began wrapping itself up very carefully, remarking, 'I really must be getting home; the night-air doesn't suit my throat!' and a Canary called out in a trembling voice to its children, 'Come away, my dears! It's high time you were all in bed!' On various pretexts they all moved off, and Alice was soon left alone.
這話惹得大家十分驚慌，有些鳥急急忙忙離開了，老喜鵲小心地把自己裹嚴(yán)，解釋道：“我必須回家了，今晚的空氣對我的喉嚨不合適?！苯鸾z鳥發(fā)抖地對它的孩子說：“走吧！我親愛的，你們早該睡覺了。”它們?nèi)荚诟鞣N借口下走掉了。不久，又只剩下愛麗絲孤單單的一個人了。

'I wish I hadn't mentioned Dinah!' she said to herself in a melancholy tone. 'Nobody seems to like her, down here, and I'm sure she's the best cat in the world! Oh, my dear?Dinah! I wonder if I shall ever see you any more!' And here poor Alice began to cry again, for she felt very lonely and low-spirited. In a little while, however, she again heard a?little pattering of footsteps in the distance, and she looked up eagerly, half hoping that the Mouse had changed his mind, and was coming back to finish his story.
“我要是剛才不提到黛娜就好了！”愛麗絲憂郁地對自己說，“這里好像沒有一個喜歡她的，唉！只有我知道她是世界上最好的貓！啊，我親愛的黛娜，真不知道什么時候還會再見到你呢！說到這里，可憐的小愛麗絲的眼淚又出來了，她感到非常孤獨和懊喪，過了一會兒，總算聽到不遠(yuǎn)處傳來了腳步聲，她巴望地抬頭看看是誰來了，希望老鼠改變主意，回來講完它的故事。
