Alice couldn't help laughing, as she said, "I don't want you to hire me - and I don't care for jam." "It's very good jam," said the Queen. "Well, I don't want any to-day, at any rate." "You couldn't have it if you did want it," the Queen said. "The rule is, jam to-morrow and jam yesterday - but never jam to-day." "It must come sometimes to 'jam to-day'," Alice objected. "No, it can't," said the Queen. "It's jam every other day: to-day isn't any other day, you know."

「喜んでお前を召し抱えようぞ!」女王は言った。「週に二ペンス、それに一日おきにジャムじゃ」。アリスは思わず笑いながら、「私を雇ってほしいわけではありません――それにジャムは好きじゃないし」と言った。「とても良いジャムじゃぞ」女王は言った。「とにかく、何にしても今日は欲しくありません」。「欲しかったとしても、手に入らなかったじゃろう」女王は言った。「規則では、明日のジャムと昨日のジャムはある――じゃが今日のジャムは絶対にない」。「『今日のジャム』になることもあるはず」アリスは異議を唱えた。「いや、あり得ぬ」女王は言った。「一日おきにジャムじゃ: 今日は今すぐの日、一日おいた日ではないじゃろが」。 – ルイス・キャロル (1832 – 98): 『鏡の国のアリス』(ウールとウォーター) (挿絵: ジョン・テニエル) (Google Translateのエンジンを使用した、Sound of Textによるテキスト読み上げ) More »
