Charles L. Dodgson wanted to be remembered for his mathematical innovations as an Oxford don rather than his colorful personal life and 1865 book, “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland,” but despite his efforts to hide behind the pen name Lewis Carroll, it was Alice who made him famous.
查尔斯·L·道奇森(Charles L. Dodgson)希望人们记住自己在牛津担任教授期间的数学创新，而不是自己丰富多彩的个人生活，以及1865年出版的《爱丽丝漫游奇境记》(Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland)。然而，尽管他努力藏身在笔名刘易斯·卡罗尔(Lewis Carroll)之后，“爱丽丝”还是让他出了名。
For the 150th birthday of Alice, authors and curators are mining Dodgson’s correspondence and diaries and editions of her story, which has been published in 174 languages. (An events and publications database is at lewiscarrollresources.net.)
今年是爱丽丝一书出版150周年纪念日，这本书如今已被翻译为174种语言出版（关于这本书的大事记和出版资料收录于lewiscarrollresources.net），各种作者与策展人深入研究道奇森的信件和日记，以及爱丽丝故事的各种版本。
Edward Wakeling, a Dodgson biographer, drew on his own collection of 23,353 documents for his forthcoming book “Lewis Carroll: The Man and His Circle” (I. B. Tauris). Dodgson took about 3,000 photos in his spare time, and a third of them will appear in a second forthcoming book from Mr. Wakeling, “The Photographs of Lewis Carroll: A Catalogue Raisonné” (University of Texas Press), due this summer.
爱德华·韦克林(Edward Wakeling)是道奇森的传记作家，他在搜集了23353份文件后，写出了即将出版的《刘易斯·卡罗尔：他和他的朋友圈》（Lewis Carroll: The Man and His Circle, I.B. Tauris）一书。道奇森在空闲时间里拍了大约3000张照片，其中1/3将会出现在韦克林的下一本书《刘易斯·卡罗尔照片选》(The Photographs of Lewis Carroll: A Catalogue Raisonné, University of Texas Press )中，该书将于今年夏天出版。
Mr. Wakeling intends to debunk the enduring suggestion that Dodgson, who died in 1898 at 65, disliked the company of adults and had an unhealthy interest in little girls. The biography describes lively, diverse friends including actresses, poets, dentists, judges and British royals.
道奇森于1898年逝世，享年65岁，韦克林这本书意在驳斥人们长久以来的想法：他生前并不喜欢与成年人为伍，而是对小女孩们有着病态的兴趣。这本传记栩栩如生描写了道奇森的各种朋友，包括女演员、诗人、牙医、法官和英国贵族。
