It was so large that she couldn't help feeling a LITTLE shy with it (он был таким большим, что она не могла немного не оробеть при /виде его/), as she had been with the mutton (так же, как и с бараниной); however, she conquered her shyness by a great effort and cut a slice and handed it to the Red Queen (однако она поборола свою робость с большим усилием и отрезала кусок, и вручила его Черной Королеве;
`What impertinence (какое нахальство)!' said the Pudding. `I wonder how you'd like it (интересно, как бы тебе это понравилось), if I were to cut a slice out of YOU, you creature (если бы это я отрезал кусочек от тебя, ты, существо/тварь)!'
It spoke in a thick, suety sort of voice (он говорил низким густым голосом;
`Make a remark (скажи что-нибудь: «сделай замечание»),' said the Red Queen: `it's ridiculous to leave all the conversation to the pudding (смешно оставлять весь разговор =

`What impertinence!' said the Pudding. `I wonder how you'd like it, if I were to cut a slice out of YOU, you creature!'
It spoke in a thick, suety sort of voice, and Alice hadn't a word to say in reply: she could only sit and look at it and gasp.
`Make a remark,' said the Red Queen: `it's ridiculous to leave all the conversation to the pudding!'
`Do you know, I've had such a quantity of poetry repeated to me to-day (вы знаете, мне такое количество стихов прочитали сегодня),' Alice began, a little frightened at finding (начала Алиса, немного испугавшись, обнаружив) that, the moment she opened her lips, there was dead silence (что в тот момент, когда она открыла рот: «свои уста», установилась мертвая тишина), and all eyes were fixed upon her (и все глаза были устремлены на нее); `and it's a very curious thing, I think (и вот какая весьма удивительная вещь, как мне кажется) — every poem was about fishes in some way (каждое стихотворение было о рыбах, некоторым образом = было, так или иначе, о рыбах). Do you know why they're so fond of fishes, all about here (вы знаете, почему все здесь так любят рыбу)?'

`Do you know, I've had such a quantity of poetry repeated to me to-day,' Alice began, a little frightened at finding that, the moment she opened her lips, there was dead silence, and all eyes were fixed upon her; `and it's a very curious thing, I think-every poem was about fishes in some way. Do you know why they're so fond of fishes, all about here?'
She spoke to the Red Queen, whose answer was a little wide of the mark (она обращалась к Черной Королеве, чей ответ оказался совсем некстати;
`As to fishes (что касается рыб),' she said, very slowly and solemnly, putting her mouth close to Alice's ear (сказала она очень медленно и торжественно, придвинув свой рот близко к уху Алисы), `her White Majesty knows a lovely riddle (ее Белое Величество знает прекрасную загадку) — all in poetry (целиком в стихах) — all about fishes (целиком про рыб). Shall she repeat it (прочитать ли ей ее)?'
`Her Red Majesty's very kind to mention it (ее Черное Величество очень добры, что упомянули об этом),' the White Queen murmured into Alice's other ear, in a voice like the cooing of a pigeon (пробормотала Белая Королева в другое ухо Алисы, голосом, похожим на воркование голубки;
`Please do (пожалуйста, прочитайте),' Alice said very politely (сказала Алиса очень вежливо).
