Peter Pan — Page 4
"I remember kisses," Slightly interposed quickly, "let me see it. Ay, that's a kiss."
«Yo recuerdo los besos», interrumpió Slightly rápidamente, «déjame verlo. Sí, eso es un beso».
Peter did not hear him.
Peter no le escuchó.
He was begging Wendy to get better quickly, so that he could show her the mermaids.
Le estaba suplicando a Wendy que se recuperara pronto, para poder mostrarle las sirenas.
Of course she could not answer yet, being still in a frightful faint; but from overhead came a wailing note.
Por supuesto que ella no podía responder todavía, pues aún estaba en un terrible desmayo; pero desde arriba llegó un sonido lastimero.
"Listen to Tink," said Curly, "she is crying because the Wendy lives."
«Escuchad a Campanilla», dijo Curly, «está llorando porque Wendy vive».
Then they had to tell Peter of Tink's crime, and almost never had they seen him look so stern.
Entonces tuvieron que contarle a Peter el crimen de Campanilla, y casi nunca le habían visto con una expresión tan severa.
"Listen, Tinker Bell," he cried, "I am your friend no more. Begone from me for ever."
«Escucha, Campanilla», gritó, «ya no soy tu amigo. Aléjate de mí para siempre».
She flew on to his shoulder and pleaded, but he brushed her off.
Ella voló hasta su hombro y suplicó, pero él la apartó.
Not until Wendy again raised her arm did he relent sufficiently to say, "Well, not for ever, but for a whole week."
No fue hasta que Wendy volvió a levantar el brazo cuando él cedió lo suficiente para decir: «Bueno, no para siempre, pero sí durante toda una semana».
Do you think Tinker Bell was grateful to Wendy for raising her arm?
¿Creéis que Campanilla le estaba agradecida a Wendy por haber levantado el brazo?
Oh dear no, never wanted to pinch her so much.
Oh, queridos, no, nunca había querido pellizcarla tanto.
Fairies indeed are strange, and Peter, who understood them best, often cuffed them.
Las hadas son realmente extrañas, y Peter, que las conocía mejor que nadie, a menudo les daba manotazos.
But what to do with Wendy in her present delicate state of health?
Pero ¿qué hacer con Wendy en su actual y delicado estado de salud?
"Let us carry her down into the house," Curly suggested.
«Llevémosla abajo a la casa», sugirió Curly.
"Ay," said Slightly, "that is what one does with ladies."
«Sí», dijo Slightly, «eso es lo que se hace con las damas».
"No, no," Peter said, "you must not touch her. It would not be sufficiently respectful."
«No, no», dijo Peter, «no debéis tocarla. No sería suficientemente respetuoso».
"That," said Slightly, "is what I was thinking."
«Eso», dijo Slightly, «es lo que yo estaba pensando».
"But if she lies there," Tootles said, "she will die.
«Pero si se queda ahí tendida», dijo Tootles, «morirá».
