Her sister was reading , but Alice had nothing to do . Once or twice she looked into her sister’s book, but it had no pictures or conversations in it .“And what is the use of a book,”thought Alice , “without pictures or conversation?” She tried to think of something to do ,but it was a hot day and she felt very sleepy and stupid . She was still stting and thinking when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran past her .There was nothing really strange about seeing a rabbit . And Alice was not very surprised when the Rabbbit said , “Oh dear1 Oh dear! I shall be late !”(Perhaps it was a little strange , Alice thought later , but at the time she was not surprised . )But then the Rabbit took a watch out of its pocket, looked at it , and hurried on . At once Alice jumped to her feet .“I’ve never before seen a rabbit with either a pocket , or a watch to take out of it ,” she thought . And she ran quickly across the field after the Rabbit . She did not stop to think, and when the Rabbit ran down a large rabbit- hole , Alice followed it immediately （立刻）.After a little way the rabbit –hole suddenly went down , deep into the ground . Alice could not stop herself falling , and down she went , tooIt was a very strange hole . Alice was falling very slowly, and she had tome to think and to look aroud her . She could see nothing below her because it was so dark .but when she looked at the sides of the hole, she could see cupboards and books and pictures on the walls . she had time to take things out of a cupboard , look at them, and then put them back in a cupboard lower down .“Well!” thought Alice , “ After a fall like this , I can fall anywhere! I can fall downstairs at home , and I won’t cry or say a word about it !”Down, down, down . “How far have I fallen now ?” Alice said aloud to herself . “Perhaps I’m near the centre of the earth . Let me think… That’s four thousand miles down””(Alice was very good at her school lessons and could remember a lot of things like this)Down, down , down . Would she ever stop falling ? Alice was very nearly asleep when, suddenly , she was sitting on the ground .

She was getting very near him when he suddenly turned a corner . Alice ran round the corner too, and then stopped . She was now in a long , dark room with doors all round the walls , and she could not see the White Rabbit anywhere .She tried to open the doors , but they were all locked . “ How will I ever get out again ?”she thought sadly . then she saw a little glass table with three legs , and on the top of it was a very small gold key . Alice quickly took the key and tried it in all the doors, but oh dear! Either the locks were too big , or the key was too small, but she could not open any of the doors .Then she saw another door, a door that was only forty centimetres high . the little gold key unlocked this door easily , but of course Alice could not get through it – she was much too big . So she lay on the floor and looked through the open door , into a beautiful garden with green trees and bright flowers .Poor Alice was very unhappy. “ What a wonderful garden !” she said to herself . “I’d like to be out there – not in this dark room . Why can’t I get smaller ?”it was already a very strange day , and Alice was beginning to think that anything was possible .After a while she locked the door again, got up and went back to the glass table . She put the key down and then she saw a little bottle on the table (“I’m sure it wasn’t here before ,” said Alice”. Round the neck of the bottle was a piece of paper with the words DRINK Me in large letters .But Alice was a careful girl . “ It can be dangerous to drink out of strange bottles,”she said . “What will it do to me ?”she drank a little bit very slowly .
