Peter Pan — Page 11

English → Chinese Chapter I. Level 4/10

She explained in quite a matter-of-fact way that she thought Peter sometimes came to the nursery in the night and sat on the foot of her bed and played on his pipes to her.

她用一种十分平淡的语气解释说，她觉得彼得有时会在夜里来到育儿室，坐在她床脚，为她吹奏风笛。

Unfortunately she never woke, so she didn't know how she knew, she just knew.

不幸的是她从来没有醒来，所以她不知道自己是怎么知道的，她只是知道。

It was quite true; the leaves had been found very near the window.

这倒是真的；那些树叶确实被发现在窗户附近。

Mrs. Darling did not know what to think, for it all seemed so natural to Wendy that you could not dismiss it by saying she had been dreaming.

达林太太不知道该怎么想，因为这一切对温迪来说似乎是那么自然，你无法用她在做梦来敷衍了事。

Oh, surely she must have been dreaming.

哦，她肯定是在做梦吧。

But, on the other hand, there were the leaves.

但是，另一方面，那些树叶还在。

Mrs. Darling examined them very carefully; they were skeleton leaves, but she was sure they did not come from any tree that grew in England.

达林太太仔细地检查了它们；它们是枯叶脉，但她确信它们并非来自英格兰生长的任何树木。

She crawled about the floor, peering at it with a candle for marks of a strange foot.

她在地板上爬来爬去，举着蜡烛寻找陌生脚印的痕迹。

She rattled the poker up the chimney and tapped the walls.

她用拨火棍在烟囱里捅了捅，又敲了敲墙壁。
