Lewis Carroll
(Through the mirror and what Alice found there, 1872)
"Twas brillig, and slithy toves.
Gyre and gimble are in wabe:
All mimusians are Mrs. borogo,
And Maugham Ras Uggla Bay.
"Watch out for Jabberwock, my son!
Biting mouth, grasping claws!
Beware of the jubu bird and avoid it.
Gorgeous band! "
He had his Volpal sword in his hand:
He's been looking for an enemy for a long time-
He is resting under the Tumtum tree.
Meditate for a while.
He stood in Uffish and thought,
Jabberwock with the eye of fire,
Through the Targay forest,
It burps when it comes!
One, two! One, two! from start to finish
Wopal blade to snicker-snacks!
He let it die, with its head.
He went back triumphantly.
"So, did you kill that Jabberwock?
Come into my arms, my happy child!
Oh, happy day! Caroo. Callay！ '
He smiled happily.
"Twas brillig, and slithy toves.
Gyre and gimble are in wabe
All mimusians are Mrs. borogo,
And Maugham Ras Uggla Bay.
Because this poem is deliberately invented by the author, it is difficult to translate. The correct translation should not be translated into fluent Chinese. The following is the translation by the linguist Mr. Zhao Yuanren:
Blow neck ×
One day, those busy children
Wei on the side did this.
It's hard for Si Er, those kids,
And x's son.
"Be careful of that X who blows his neck, my child!
That biting tooth, that grasping claw!
Be careful of the bird that killed the cloth and avoid it.
That lucky son! "
He is holding a Buddha sword:
He has been looking for that rather loose x-
He hid behind a swallowing tree,
Just standing there thinking.
He is thinking about a bird flying there.
That fried neck ×, the eyes of two lanterns,
Beggars in Qibalde, Linzi, Li Fulei
Bobo, bobo, come out and drive out.
Left, right! Left, right! From beginning to end,
The Buddha's sword was cut to pieces!
He cut his throat, looked up,
Just a flying grace to go home.
"You really cut the fried neck x?
Good boy, come on, you are really better than Amoy!
Ah, what a nice day! Have a drink! Drink it! Hey!
He sipped happily and flew.
One day, those busy children
Wei on the side did this.
It's hard for Si Er, those kids,
And x's son.
