渡渡鸟

加德纳的继任者阿兰？？派弗（AlanPifer）把传统基金会和渡渡鸟联系在一起，说称基金会现在需要锻炼“苗条的身体和发达的翅膀”。

Alan Pifer , the foundation 's president after Gardner , has likened traditional foundations such as his to the dodo , saying that they now need to develop " slim bodies and well-developed wings . "

最后，渡渡鸟说：每人都赢了，而且都有奖品！

At last the Dodo said , ' EVERYBODY has won , and all must have prizes . '

但是如果当时人们有动物保护意识的话，就不会造成渡渡鸟的灭绝。

But if there was one animal protection awareness , then it will not cause the extinction of the dodo .

但当被问到“谁真正赢了比赛”，渡渡鸟看上去非常困惑，用手指紧贴在他的太阳穴，

But when asked the question , " who has actually won ? " the Dodo looked puzzled and pressed his finger to his temple .

当然啦，渡渡鸟非常严肃地回答，你的口袋里还有别的东西吗，它转向爱丽丝问道。

` Of course , ' the Dodo replied very gravely . ` What else have you got in your pocket ? ' he went on , turning to Alice .

它们跑了大约半个小时，衣服大体上都干了，渡渡鸟就突然喊道：比赛结束了！

However , when they had been running half an hour or so , and were quite dry again , the Dodo suddenly called out ' The race is over !

我说的是，能让我们把湿衣服弄干的最好办法，是来个会议式的赛跑。渡渡鸟恼怒地说。

` What I was going to say , ' said the Dodo in an offended tone , ` was , that the best thing to get us dry would be a Caucus-race . '

在这种情况下，我建议休会，并立即采取更加有效的措施。渡渡鸟站后来严肃地说。

` In that case , ' said the Dodo solemnly , rising to its feet , ` I move that the meeting adjourn , for the immediate adoption of more energetic remedies & '

“她，当然是她啦！”渡渡鸟用一个手指头指着爱丽丝说。

' Why , SHE , of course , 'said the Dodo , pointing to Alice with one finger ; and the whole party at once crowded round her , calling out in a confused way , 'Prizes !

这时，大家又围住了爱丽丝，渡渡鸟接过顶针后兑严肃地递给了她，说：我们请求你接受这只精致的顶针，它刚结束这句简短的讲演，大家全都欢呼起来了。

Then they all crowded round her once more , while the Dodo solemnly presented the thimble , saying ' We beg your acceptance of this elegant thimble ' ; and , when it had finished this short speech , they all cheered .

渡渡鸟说：对，为了说明它，最好的办法就是咱们亲自做一做。（由于你在冬天也许会想起来玩这种游戏，所以我占这里告诉你渡渡鸟是怎么做的。）

' Why , ' said the Dodo , ' the best way to explain it is to do it . ' ( And , as you might like to try the thing yourself , some winter day , I will tell you how the Dodo managed it . )

它们跑了大约半个小时，衣服大体上都干了，渡渡鸟就突然喊道：“比赛结束了！”听这话，它们都喘着气围拢过来，不停地问：“谁赢了，”

However , when they had been running half an hour or so , and were quite dry again , the Dodo suddenly called out ' The race is over ! ' and they all crowded round it , panting , and asking , ' But who has won ? '

这个问题，渡渡鸟得好好考虑一下才能回答。因此，它坐下来，用一个指头撑着前额了好长时间（就像照片上莎士比亚的那种姿态），这段时间里大家都安静地等待着。

This question the Dodo could not answer without a great deal of thought , and it sat for a long time with one finger pressed upon its forehead ( the position in which you usually see Shakespeare , in the pictures of him ) , while the rest waited in silence .
