Peter Pan — Page 13
He did not alarm her, for she thought she had seen him before in the faces of many women who have no children.
彼女は彼に恐れを感じなかった。なぜなら、子供を持たない多くの女性たちの顔に、以前彼を見たことがあると思ったからだ。
Perhaps he is to be found in the faces of some mothers also.
おそらく、彼は一部の母親たちの顔にも見出せるのかもしれない。
But in her dream he had rent the film that obscures the Neverland, and she saw Wendy and John and Michael peeping through the gap.
しかし彼女の夢の中で、彼はネバーランドを覆い隠す幕を引き裂き、彼女はウェンディとジョンとマイケルがその隙間から覗いているのを見た。
The dream by itself would have been a trifle, but while she was dreaming the window of the nursery blew open, and a boy did drop on the floor.
夢それ自体はとるに足らないものだったかもしれないが、彼女が夢を見ている間に子供部屋の窓が吹き開き、一人の少年が床に落ちてきた。
He was accompanied by a strange light, no bigger than your fist, which darted about the room like a living thing and I think it must have been this light that wakened Mrs. Darling.
彼には不思議な光が伴っていた。握りこぶしほどの大きさもないその光は、生き物のように部屋中を飛び回り、おそらくこの光こそがダーリング夫人を目覚めさせたのだと私は思う。
She started up with a cry, and saw the boy, and somehow she knew at once that he was Peter Pan.
彼女は叫び声を上げて飛び起き、その少年を見て、なぜかすぐに彼がピーター・パンだとわかった。
If you or I or Wendy had been there we should have seen that he was very like Mrs. Darling's kiss.
あなたや私やウェンディがそこにいたなら、彼がダーリング夫人のキスによく似ていることに気づいたはずだ。
He was a lovely boy, clad in skeleton leaves and the juices that ooze out of trees but the most entrancing thing about him was that he had all his first teeth.
彼は愛らしい少年で、枯れ葉と木から滲み出る樹液をまとっていたが、彼について最も魅惑的なことは、乳歯がすべて揃っていることだった。
When he saw she was a grown-up, he gnashed the little pearls at her.
彼女が大人だとわかると、彼はその小さな真珠のような歯をギリギリと鳴らした。
