PETER BREAKS THROUGH

PETER ABRE CAMINHO

All children, except one, grow up.

Todas as crianças, exceto uma, crescem.

They soon know that they will grow up, and the way Wendy knew was this.

Elas logo sabem que vão crescer, e a maneira como Wendy soube foi esta.

One day when she was two years old she was playing in a garden, and she plucked another flower and ran with it to her mother.

Um dia, quando ela tinha dois anos, estava brincando em um jardim, e colheu mais uma flor e correu com ela até sua mãe.

I suppose she must have looked rather delightful, for Mrs. Darling put her hand to her heart and cried, "Oh, why can't you remain like this for ever!"

Suponho que ela deve ter parecido bastante encantadora, pois a Sra. Darling colocou a mão no coração e exclamou: "Oh, por que você não pode ficar assim para sempre!"

This was all that passed between them on the subject, but henceforth Wendy knew that she must grow up.

Foi tudo o que se passou entre elas sobre o assunto, mas a partir daí Wendy soube que teria de crescer.

You always know after you are two.

Você sempre sabe depois que faz dois anos.

Two is the beginning of the end.

Dois anos é o começo do fim.

Of course they lived at 14, and until Wendy came her mother was the chief one.

É claro que eles moravam no número 14, e até Wendy chegar, sua mãe era a principal.

She was a lovely lady, with a romantic mind and such a sweet mocking mouth.

Ela era uma senhora encantadora, com uma mente romântica e uma boca tão docemente zombeteira.

Her romantic mind was like the tiny boxes, one within the other, that come from the puzzling East, however many you discover there is always one more; and her sweet mocking mouth had one kiss on it that Wendy could never get, though there it was, perfectly conspicuous in the right-hand corner.

Sua mente romântica era como as pequenas caixas, uma dentro da outra, que vêm do intrigante Oriente; por mais que você descubra, há sempre mais uma; e sua boca docemente zombeteira guardava um beijo que Wendy jamais conseguia alcançar, embora ele estivesse ali, perfeitamente visível no canto direito.

The way Mr. Darling won her was this: the many gentlemen who had been boys when she was a girl discovered simultaneously that they loved her, and they all ran to her house to propose to her except Mr. Darling, who took a cab and nipped in first, and so he got her.

A maneira como o Sr. Darling a conquistou foi a seguinte: os muitos cavalheiros que tinham sido meninos quando ela era menina descobriram simultaneamente que a amavam, e todos correram à casa dela para pedi-la em casamento, exceto o Sr. Darling, que pegou uma carruagem e chegou primeiro, e assim a conquistou.
