Peter Pan — Page 11

English → Spanish Chapter IV. Level 4/10

"If only one of us had a pocket," Peter said, "we could carry her in it."

«Si al menos uno de nosotros tuviera un bolsillo», dijo Peter, «podríamos llevarla en él».

However, they had set off in such a hurry that there was not a pocket between the four of them.

Sin embargo, habían partido con tanta prisa que entre los cuatro no había un solo bolsillo.

He had a happy idea.

Se le ocurrió una feliz idea.

John's hat!

¡El sombrero de John!

Tink agreed to travel by hat if it was carried in the hand.

Tink aceptó viajar en el sombrero con tal de que lo llevaran en la mano.

John carried it, though she had hoped to be carried by Peter.

John lo llevó, aunque ella había esperado ser llevada por Peter.

Presently Wendy took the hat, because John said it struck against his knee as he flew; and this, as we shall see, led to mischief, for Tinker Bell hated to be under an obligation to Wendy.

Al poco tiempo Wendy tomó el sombrero, porque John dijo que le golpeaba la rodilla mientras volaba; y esto, como veremos, trajo consecuencias, pues Tinker Bell detestaba estar en deuda con Wendy.

In the black topper the light was completely hidden, and they flew on in silence.

Dentro del sombrero de copa negro la luz quedaba completamente oculta, y siguieron volando en silencio.

It was the stillest silence they had ever known, broken once by a distant lapping, which Peter explained was the wild beasts drinking at the ford, and again by a rasping sound that might have been the branches of trees rubbing together, but he said it was the redskins sharpening their knives.

Era el silencio más profundo que jamás habían conocido, interrumpido una vez por un lejano chapoteo, que Peter explicó era el de las bestias salvajes bebiendo en el vado, y otra vez por un sonido raspante que podría haber sido el de las ramas de los árboles frotándose entre sí, pero él dijo que era el de los pieles rojas afilando sus cuchillos.

Even these noises ceased.

Incluso esos ruidos cesaron.

To Michael the loneliness was dreadful.

Para Michael la soledad era espantosa.

"If only something would make a sound!" he cried.

«¡Si al menos algo hiciera un ruido!», exclamó.

As if in answer to his request, the air was rent by the most tremendous crash he had ever heard.

Como en respuesta a su petición, el aire fue desgarrado por el estruendo más tremendo que jamás había oído.

The pirates had fired Long Tom at them.

Los piratas les habían disparado con el Long Tom.

The roar of it echoed through the mountains, and the echoes seemed to cry savagely, "Where are they, where are they, where are they?

El estruendo resonó por las montañas, y los ecos parecían gritar salvajemente: «¿Dónde están, dónde están, dónde están?
