Without further ado, we present:

闲话少说，我们开始吧：

"Jabberwocky" by Lewis Carroll.

《不知所云》——路易斯·卡罗尔。 （贾文浩、贾文渊的意译版）

’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:

空洞巨龙光滑如菱鲆， 蜿蜒蠕动， 缠绕如藤萝，转动裕如，

All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe.

摹仿诚可信，真伪难辨， 反应虽敏捷，难掩愚蠢。

“Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!

行文旅途谨防空洞巨龙， 误受其害难免裂肤伤心。

Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!”

书林漫步远避鸣禽聒噪， 浮华伴侣不啻鬼怪妖精。

He took his vorpal sword in hand; Long time the manxome foe he sought—

强壮双手紧握修辞利剑， 精悍青年依傍简练树干，

So rested he by the Tumtum tree And stood awhile in thought.

犀利明眸搜索冗赘敌手， 片刻沉思脑中获益匪浅。

他的思路正在驰骋纵横， 空洞巨龙此时乘风来临，

And, as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,

Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came!

一路飘来依然废话连篇， 眼冒凶光俨然咄咄逼人！

One, two! One, two! And through and through

砍剁突刺好个翻飞宝剑，

The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!

修辞利刃一如雷鸣闪电，

He left it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back.

空洞巨龙终于身首异处， 年轻英雄这才挂剑凯旋。

“And hast thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy!

空洞巨龙毙命他的寒剑， 年轻英雄回到我们身边，

O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!”

欢呼庆贺难言胸中喜悦，

He chortled in his joy.

欣喜骄傲绽开他的笑颜。

’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:

光滑如菱鲆，蜿蜒蠕动， 缠绕如藤萝，转动裕如，

All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe.

摹仿诚可信，真伪难辨， 反应虽敏捷，难掩愚蠢。
