Peter Pan — Page 13

English → Chinese Chapter I. Level 4/10

He did not alarm her, for she thought she had seen him before in the faces of many women who have no children.

他并没有让她感到惊恐，因为她觉得自己曾在许多没有孩子的女人脸上见过他。

Perhaps he is to be found in the faces of some mothers also.

也许在一些母亲的脸上也能找到他的影子。

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.

但在她的梦中，他撕开了遮蔽梦幻岛的那层薄幕，她看见温迪、约翰和迈克尔从缝隙中向外张望。

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.

单凭这个梦本身不过是件小事，但就在她做梦的时候，育儿室的窗户被风吹开了，一个男孩真的从窗口落到了地板上。

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.

他身边伴随着一道奇异的光，光团不比你的拳头大，在房间里像个活物一样四处飞窜，我想正是这道光惊醒了达林太太。

She started up with a cry, and saw the boy, and somehow she knew at once that he was Peter Pan.

她惊叫着坐起身来，看见了那个男孩，不知为何她立刻就知道他是彼得·潘。

If you or I or Wendy had been there we should have seen that he was very like Mrs. Darling's kiss.

如果你、我或是温迪当时在场，我们都会发现他与达林太太的那个吻十分相像。

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.

他是个可爱的男孩，身上穿着骨架般的枯叶和从树木中渗出的汁液做成的衣裳，但关于他最令人着迷的，是他还保有一口完整的乳牙。

When he saw she was a grown-up, he gnashed the little pearls at her.

当他发现她是个大人时，便朝她龇牙咧嘴地磨动那些珍珠般的小牙齿。
