Peter Pan — Page 3

English → Chinese Chapter I. Level 4/10

She wanted to risk it, come what might, but that was not his way; his way was with a pencil and a piece of paper, and if she confused him with suggestions he had to begin at the beginning again.

她想要冒险一试，不管结果如何，但那不是他的做事方式；他的方式是用铅笔和一张纸，如果她用各种建议打乱了他的思路，他就得从头再来。

"Now don't interrupt," he would beg of her.

「现在别打断我，」他会这样恳求她。

"I have one pound seventeen here, and two and six at the office; I can cut off my coffee at the office, say ten shillings, making two nine and six, with your eighteen and three makes three nine seven, with five naught naught in my cheque-book makes eight nine seven—who is that moving?—eight nine seven, dot and carry seven—don't speak, my own—and the pound you lent to that man who came to the door—quiet, child—dot and carry child—there, you've done it!—did I say nine nine seven? yes, I said nine nine seven; the question is, can we try it for a year on nine nine seven?"

「我这里有一镑十七便士，办公室还有两先令六便士；我可以省去办公室的咖啡，算十先令，合计两镑九先令六便士，加上你的十八先令三便士，得三镑九先令七便士，再加上我支票簿里的五镑零零便士，合计八镑九先令七便士——是谁在动？——八镑九先令七便士，进位七——别说话，我的心肝——进位，心肝——你瞧，你又让我乱了！——我说的是九镑九先令七便士吗？是的，我说的是九镑九先令七便士；问题是，我们能靠九镑九先令七便士过一年吗？」

"Of course we can, George," she cried.

「当然可以，乔治，」她喊道。

But she was prejudiced in Wendy's favour, and he was really the grander character of the two.

但她对温迪存有偏心，而他其实才是两人中更为高尚的那一个。

"Remember mumps," he warned her almost threateningly, and off he went again.

「别忘了腮腺炎，」他近乎威胁地警告她，然后又重新开始算了。
