Peter Pan — Page 7
我猜你会看到她跪在地上,带着几分俏皮地翻看你的东西,纳闷你究竟从哪里捡来了这件东西,一边有着甜蜜或不那么甜蜜的发现。
You would see her on her knees, I expect, lingering humorously over some of your contents, wondering where on earth you had picked this thing up, making discoveries sweet and not so sweet,
她把这件东西贴在脸颊上,好像它像小猫咪一样可爱,又急匆匆地把那件东西藏了起来。
pressing this to her cheek as if it were as nice as a kitten, and hurriedly stowing that out of sight.
当你早晨醒来,你带着入眠的那些淘气和邪恶的情绪,已经被折叠得整整齐齐,压在你心灵的最底层。
When you wake in the morning, the naughtiness and evil passions with which you went to bed have been folded up small and placed at the bottom of your mind
而在最上面,经过了充分的舒展,是你那些更美好的念头,整整齐齐地铺展着,等待着你去穿戴。
and on the top, beautifully aired, are spread out your prettier thoughts, ready for you to put on.
我不知道你是否曾经见过一张描绘某人内心世界的地图。
I don't know whether you have ever seen a map of a person's mind.
医生有时会描绘你身体其他部位的图,你自己的图也会变得极为有趣,但要想让他们试着画出一个孩子内心世界的地图,那可就难了——那不仅杂乱无章,而且还在不停地转动。
Doctors sometimes draw maps of other parts of you, and your own map can become intensely interesting, but catch them trying to draw a map of a child's mind, which is not only confused, but keeps going round all the time.
上面有锯齿形的线条,就像你病历卡上的体温曲线,这些大概是梦幻岛上的道路。
There are zigzag lines on it, just like your temperature on a card, and these are probably roads in the island,
因为梦幻岛始终或多或少是一座小岛,这里有令人惊叹的色彩斑斓的景致,还有珊瑚礁和海面上那些外形奇特的船只。
for the Neverland is always more or less an island, with astonishing splashes of colour here and there, and coral reefs and rakish-looking craft in the offing,
还有野人和荒僻的巢穴,有大多以裁缝为业的侏儒,有河流穿流而过的山洞。
and savages and lonely lairs, and gnomes who are mostly tailors, and caves through which a river runs,
还有拥有六位兄长的王子,一间日渐破败的茅屋,以及一位长着钩鼻子的非常矮小的老妇人。
and princes with six elder brothers, and a hut fast going to decay, and one very small old lady with a hooked nose.
