Peter Pan — Page 5
How thorough she was at bath-time, and up at any moment of the night if one of her charges made the slightest cry.
入浴の時間には彼女はなんと丁寧なことか。そして、預かっている子供たちのうちの一人がかすかな泣き声を上げようものなら、夜中のどんな時刻でも起き上がった。
Of course her kennel was in the nursery.
もちろん、彼女の犬小屋は子供部屋の中にあった。
She had a genius for knowing when a cough is a thing to have no patience with and when it needs stocking around your throat.
咳が放っておけないものかどうか、あるいは喉にストッキングを巻く必要があるかどうかを見極める天賦の才を彼女は持っていた。

They affected to ignore her as of an inferior social status to themselves, and she despised their light talk.
乳母たちは自分たちより身分が低いとばかりにナナを無視するふりをしたが、ナナは彼女たちの軽薄なおしゃべりを軽蔑していた。
She resented visits to the nursery from Mrs. Darling's friends, but if they did come she first whipped off Michael's pinafore and put him into the one with blue braiding, and smoothed out Wendy and made a dash at John's hair.
彼女はダーリング夫人の友人たちが子供部屋を訪ねてくることを快く思っていなかったが、もし来客があれば、まずマイケルのエプロンをさっと脱がせて青い飾り紐のついたものに着替えさせ、ウェンディの服を整え、ジョンの髪を急いでとかした。
