`What manner of things (какие такие вещи)?' said the Queen, looking over the book (сказала Королева, заглядывая в /записную/ книжку) (in which Alice had put (в которой Алиса записала; to put — класть, положить; излагать, выражать /мысли, замечания и т.п./) `THE WHITE KNIGHT IS SLIDING DOWN THE POKER (белый конь скользит вниз по кочерге). HE BALANCES VERY BADLY (он сохраняет равновесие очень плохо)') `That's not a memorandum of YOUR feelings (это не запись твоих переживаний; feeling — ощущение, чувство; чувства, переживания)!'
poor [pL], puzzled [pAzld], knight [naIt], balance ['bxlqns]
The poor King looked puzzled and unhappy, and struggled with the pencil for some time without saying anything; but Alice was too strong for him, and at last he panted out, `My dear! I really MUST get a thinner pencil. I can't manage this one a bit; it writes all manner of things that I don't intend—'
`What manner of things?' said the Queen, looking over the book (in which Alice had put `THE WHITE KNIGHT IS SLIDING DOWN THE POKER. HE BALANCES VERY BADLY') `That's not a memorandum of YOUR feelings!'
There was a book lying near Alice on the table (какая-то книга лежала рядом с Алисой на столе), and while she sat watching the White King (и пока она сидела, наблюдая за Белым Королем) (for she was still a little anxious about him (потому что она по-прежнему немного волновалась за него), and had the ink all ready to throw over him, in case he fainted again (и держала чернила наготове, чтобы вылить их на него, в том случае, если он снова упадет в обморок; faint — обморок; to faint — ослабевать /от усталости, голода и т.п./; падать в обморок, терять сознание)), she turned over the leaves, to find some part that she could read (она переворачивала страницы, чтобы найти какую-нибудь часть, которую она могла бы прочесть), `— for it's all in some language I don't know (потому что все /написано/ на каком-то языке, который я не знаю),' she said to herself (сказала она себе).
It was like this (выглядело это вот так).
