Peter Pan — Page 2

English → Chinese Chapter I. Level 4/10

He got all of her, except the innermost box and the kiss.

他得到了她的一切，除了那个最深处的小盒子和那个吻。

He never knew about the box, and in time he gave up trying for the kiss.

他从来不知道那个盒子的存在，而渐渐地他也放弃了争取那个吻。

Wendy thought Napoleon could have got it, but I can picture him trying, and then going off in a passion, slamming the door.

温迪认为拿破仑或许能得到那个吻，但我能想象他尝试之后，愤然离去、砰地摔门而出的情景。

Mr. Darling used to boast to Wendy that her mother not only loved him but respected him.

达林先生常常向温迪夸耀，说她母亲不仅爱他，而且尊敬他。

He was one of those deep ones who know about stocks and shares.

他是那种深沉的人，懂得股票与证券之道。

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.

当然，实际上没有人真正懂得这些，但他看起来颇为精通，而且他常常以一种让任何女人都会心生敬意的口吻说，股票涨了，证券跌了。

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;

达林太太身穿白裙出嫁，婚后初期她将账目记得井井有条，几乎是兴高采烈地，仿佛这是一场游戏，连一颗抱子甘蓝也不曾遗漏；

but by and by whole cauliflowers dropped out, and instead of them there were pictures of babies without faces.

但渐渐地，整棵花椰菜从账目中消失了，取而代之的是一幅幅没有脸的婴儿图画。

She drew them when she should have been totting up.

她本该在核算账目的时候，却在画着这些图。

They were Mrs. Darling's guesses.

那些是达林太太心中的猜想。

Wendy came first, then John, then Michael.

温迪最先出生，然后是约翰，再然后是迈克尔。

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.

温迪出生后的一两个星期里，他们是否能够养活她还是个问题，因为她意味着又多了一张嗷嗷待哺的嘴。

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.

达林先生为她感到无比骄傲，但他又是个极为正直的人，于是他坐在达林太太床边，握着她的手，默默盘算着开支，而她则满含恳求地望着他。
