Mock Turtle / 假海龟
The Mock Turtle appears in 180.爱丽丝梦游仙境:世界多荒诞,我也是自己的主宰(下) as one of the later [[AliceInWonderland|《爱丽丝梦游仙境》]] figures Alice is sent to meet before the trial. The episode explains the character through the Victorian dish mock turtle soup, which used cheaper meat to imitate turtle soup.
The source does not linger over every Mock Turtle pun, but it uses the section to reinforce how much of Carroll’s comedy depends on Wonderland Language Games, food history, translation difficulty, and period knowledge. The [[Gryphon|Gryphon / 鹰头狮]] functions with the Mock Turtle as a guide into that pun-heavy pre-trial interval.
