Peter Pan — Page 10

English → Spanish Chapter V. Level 4/10

With the exception of Nibs, who has darted away to reconnoitre, they are already in their home under the ground, a very delightful residence of which we shall see a good deal presently.

Con la excepción de Nibs, que ha salido disparado a reconocer el terreno, ya están en su hogar bajo tierra, una residencia muy encantadora de la que veremos bastante en breve.

But how have they reached it?

Pero ¿cómo han llegado hasta allí?

for there is no entrance to be seen, not so much as a large stone, which if rolled away, would disclose the mouth of a cave.

pues no se ve ninguna entrada, ni siquiera una piedra grande que, si se apartara rodando, descubriera la boca de una cueva.

Look closely, however, and you may note that there are here seven large trees, each with a hole in its hollow trunk as large as a boy.

Sin embargo, mira con atención y podrás notar que hay aquí siete árboles grandes, cada uno con un agujero en su tronco hueco tan grande como un niño.

These are the seven entrances to the home under the ground, for which Hook has been searching in vain these many moons.

Estas son las siete entradas al hogar bajo tierra, que Hook ha estado buscando en vano durante tantas lunas.

Will he find it tonight?

¿Lo encontrará esta noche?

As the pirates advanced, the quick eye of Starkey sighted Nibs disappearing through the wood, and at once his pistol flashed out.

Mientras los piratas avanzaban, el ojo avizor de Starkey divisó a Nibs desapareciendo entre el bosque, y al instante sacó su pistola relampagueante.

But an iron claw gripped his shoulder.

Pero una garra de hierro le aferró el hombro.

"Captain, let go!" he cried, writhing.

«¡Capitán, suélteme!», gritó, retorciéndose.

Now for the first time we hear the voice of Hook.

Ahora por primera vez oímos la voz de Garfio.

It was a black voice.

Era una voz oscura.

"Put back that pistol first," it said threateningly.

«Primero guarda esa pistola», dijo amenazadoramente.

"It was one of those boys you hate. I could have shot him dead."

«Era uno de esos chicos a los que odia. Podría haberlo matado de un disparo».

"Ay, and the sound would have brought Tiger Lily's redskins upon us. Do you want to lose your scalp?"

«Sí, y el ruido habría traído sobre nosotros a los pieles rojas de Lirio Tigre. ¿Quieres perder tu cabellera?»

"Shall I after him, Captain," asked pathetic Smee, "and tickle him with Johnny Corkscrew?"

«¿Lo persigo, Capitán», preguntó el patético Smee, «y le hago cosquillas con Johnny Sacacorchos?»

Smee had pleasant names for everything, and his cutlass was Johnny Corkscrew, because he wiggled it in the wound.

Smee tenía nombres agradables para todo, y su sable era Johnny Sacacorchos, porque lo retorcía en la herida.
