原著这一句
“Well, perhaps you haven’t found it so yet,” said Alice; “but when you have to turn into a chrysalis—you will some day, you know—and then after that into a butterfly, I should think you’ll feel it a little queer, won’t you?”
“好吧,也许您现在还没觉得,”爱丽丝说,“但等您变成蛹——您总会有这么一天的——然后再变成蝴蝶,我想您多少也会觉得有点古怪吧,不是吗?”
