Caterpillar(毛毛虫)and Alice look at each other in silence.Then they begin to talk.
Caterpillar:(In a tired,sleepy voice)Who are you?
Alice:(Rather shyly)I—hardly know,sir,just at present—at least I know who Iwas when I got up this morning.but l think I must have been changed several times since then.
Caterpillar:What do you mean by that?Explain yourself!
Alice:I can’t explain myself, I’m afraid.sir,because I’m not myself,you see.
Caterpillar:I don’t see.
Alice:(very politely)I’m afraid I can’t put it more clearly,for I can’t understand it myself.And being so many different sizes in a day is very puzzling(令人迷惑的).
Caterpillar:It isn’t.
Alice:(Feeling uncomfortable)well,perhaps you haven’t found it so yet.But when you have to turn into a chrysalis(蛹)一you will some day,you know—and then after that into a butterfly,I think you’11 feel it a little stranger,won’t you?
Caterpillar:Not a bit.
Alice:Well,perhaps your feelings may be different.All l know is it would make me feel very strange.
Caterpillar: (At the top of his voice)You!Who are you?
Alice:(Angrily)I think you ought to tell me who you are first.
Caterpillar:Why?

Caterpillar:Come back!I have something important to tell you!
