Peter Pan — Page 2
He got all of her, except the innermost box and the kiss.
彼は彼女のすべてを手に入れた。ただし、一番奥の小箱とキスを除いて。
He never knew about the box, and in time he gave up trying for the kiss.
彼は小箱のことをついに知ることはなく、やがてキスを求めることも諦めた。
Wendy thought Napoleon could have got it, but I can picture him trying, and then going off in a passion, slamming the door.
ウェンディはナポレオンならそれを手に入れられたかもしれないと思っていたが、私には彼が試みた挙句、激怒してドアを叩きつけて去っていく姿が目に浮かぶ。
Mr. Darling used to boast to Wendy that her mother not only loved him but respected him.
ダーリング氏はウェンディに、お母さんは自分を愛しているだけでなく尊敬もしていると自慢したものだった。
He was one of those deep ones who know about stocks and shares.
彼は株式や証券について知っている、そういった深みのある人物のひとりだった。
Of course no one really knows, but he quite seemed to know, and he often said stocks were up and shares were down in a way that would have made any woman respect him.
もちろん本当に分かっている人などいないのだが、彼はいかにも知っているように見せ、どんな女性でも彼を尊敬せずにはいられないような口ぶりで、株が上がった下がったとよく言っていた。
Mrs. Darling was married in white, and at first she kept the books perfectly, almost gleefully, as if it were a game, not so much as a Brussels sprout was missing;
ダーリング夫人は白いドレスで結婚し、最初のうちは帳簿をまるでゲームのように楽しげに完璧につけていて、芽キャベツ一個たりとも抜けがなかった。
but by and by whole cauliflowers dropped out, and instead of them there were pictures of babies without faces.
しかしやがてカリフラワーが丸ごと抜け落ち、その代わりに顔のない赤ちゃんの絵が現れるようになった。
She drew them when she should have been totting up.
彼女は計算をしているべき時に、その絵を描いていたのだ。
They were Mrs. Darling's guesses.
それはダーリング夫人の想像の産物だった。
Wendy came first, then John, then Michael.
最初にウェンディが生まれ、次にジョン、そしてマイケルが続いた。
For a week or two after Wendy came it was doubtful whether they would be able to keep her, as she was another mouth to feed.
ウェンディが生まれてから一、二週間は、また一人養う口が増えたことで、彼女を育てていけるかどうか危ぶまれた。
Mr. Darling was frightfully proud of her, but he was very honourable, and he sat on the edge of Mrs. Darling's bed, holding her hand and calculating expenses, while she looked at him imploringly.
ダーリング氏は彼女をひどく誇りに思っていたが、非常に誠実な人物でもあり、ダーリング夫人の手を握りながらベッドの端に腰かけて支出を計算し、夫人は彼に懇願するような目を向けていた。
