原著这一句
“Well, there was Mystery,” the Mock Turtle replied, counting off the subjects on his flappers, “—Mystery, ancient and modern, with Seaography: then Drawling—the Drawling-master was an old conger-eel, that used to come once a week: he taught us Drawling, Stretching, and Fainting in Coils.”
“还有神化课，”假海龟扳着鳍肢数着，“古代神化、现代神化，外加海底地滑课；还有拖长腔画画——画画老师是一条老鳗鱼，每周来一次，教我们拖腔画、伸展画和瘫倒抽搐画。”
