Through the Looking Glass《爱丽丝镜中奇遇记》是一个神奇、美妙而又怪诞的梦幻中的故事。故事描写了小姑娘爱丽丝在梦中种种神奇虚幻的经历。她走进了镜中世界，遭遇了装腔作势、奇笨无比的红白棋王后；好和花儿说话、与动物昆虫共处……当爱丽丝走入镜中，时光发生了倒流，出现了许多奇怪的情景：原本沉默的花草动物也开口说话了；绵羊戴着眼镜在织毛衣；在那些怪物的眼中，人才是真正可笑、不可思议的怪物。
On a snowy November day, Alice climbs through the mirror above the fireplace, the gateway to a weird and wonderful, topsy-turvy world. Books have back-to-front writing, flowers talk and a twisty garden path refuses to lead Alice to where she wants to go. It’s a place where you can remember things that haven’t happened yet, where you cry out first and prick your finger afterwards. Strangest of all, the entire land is laid out like a giant chessboard, where the pieces are all alive. The Red Queen grants Alice’s wish to be part of the game and, starting out as a pawn, she makes her way up the board in the hope of becoming a queen herself. Along the way she meets Tweedledum and Tweedledee, Humpty Dumpty and a unicorn who thinks a child is a fabulous monster! In Lewis Carroll’s enchanting fantasy, the bizarre is ordinary, the magical commonplace. “One can’t believe impossible things,” says Alice, finding the Looking-glass-land rules very different from the ones she’s used to. “I dare say you haven’t had much practice,” replies the Queen. “Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”

CHAPTER1
Looking-Glass House
One thing was certain, that the WHITE kitten had had nothing to do with it: it was the black kitten’s fault entirely. For the white kitten had been having its face washed by the old cat for the last quarter of an hour (and bearing it pretty well, considering); so you see that it COULDN’T have had any hand in the mischief.
The way Dinah washed her children’s faces was this: first she held the poor thing down by its ear with one paw, and then with the other paw she rubbed its face all over, the wrong way, beginning at the nose: and just now, as I said, she was hard at work onthe white kitten, which was lying quite still and trying to purr —no doubt feeling that it was all meant for its good.
But the black kitten had been finished with earlier in the afternoon, and so, while Alice was sitting curled up in a corner of the great arm-chair, half talking to herself and half asleep, the kitten had been having a grand game of romps with the ball of worsted Alice had been trying to wind up, and had been rolling it up and down till it had all come undone again; and there it was, spread over the hearth-rug, all knots and tangles, with the kitten running after its own tail in the middle.
“Oh, you wicked little thing!” cried Alice, catching up the kitten, and giving it a little kiss to make it understand that it was in disgrace.“Really, Dinah ought to have taught you better manners! You OUGHT, Dinah, you know you ought!” she added, lookingreproachfully at the old cat, and speaking in as cross a voice as she could manage —and then she scrambled back into the arm-chair, taking the kitten and the worsted with her, and began winding up the ball again. But she didn’t get on very fast, as she was talking all the time, sometimes to the kitten, and sometimes to herself.
Kitty sat very demurely on her knee, pretending to watch the progress of the winding, and now and then putting out one paw and gently touching the ball, as if it would be glad to help, if it might.
“Do you know what to-morrow is, Kitty?” Alice began.“You’d have guessed if you’d been up in the window with me—only Dinah was making you tidy, so you couldn’t. I was watching the boys getting in sticks for the bonfire—and it wants plenty of sticks, Kitty! Only it got so cold, and it snowed so, they had to leave off. Never mind, Kitty, we’ll go and see the bonfire to-morrow.” Here Alice wound two or three turns of the worsted round the kitten’s neck, just to see how it would look: this led to a scramble, in which the ball rolled down upon the floor, and yards and yards of it got unwound again. 
“Do you know, I was so angry, Kitty,” Alice went on as soon as they were comfortably settled again,“when I saw all the mischief you had been doing, I was very nearly opening the window, and putting you out into the snow! And you’d have deserved it, you little mischievous darling!”
