Peter Pan — Page 10
「哦，不，他没有长大，」温迪自信地向她保证，「而且他和我一样高。」
"Oh no, he isn't grown up," Wendy assured her confidently, "and he is just my size."
她的意思是他在心智和身体上都与她相当；她不知道自己是怎么知道的，她就是知道。
She meant that he was her size in both mind and body; she didn't know how she knew, she just knew it.
达林太太向达林先生征询意见，但他不以为然地笑了笑。
Mrs. Darling consulted Mr. Darling, but he smiled pooh-pooh.
「记住我的话，」他说，「这不过是娜娜灌输给孩子们的胡说八道；正是狗会有的那种想法。」
"Mark my words," he said, "it is some nonsense Nana has been putting into their heads; just the sort of idea a dog would have.
「不用管它，这事会自然平息的。」
Leave it alone, and it will blow over."
但事情并没有平息，很快这个麻烦的男孩让达林太太大吃一惊。
But it would not blow over and soon the troublesome boy gave Mrs. Darling quite a shock.
孩子们经历着最奇特的冒险，却丝毫不为此烦恼。
Children have the strangest adventures without being troubled by them.
举例来说，事情发生一个星期后，他们可能才想起来提一句，说他们在树林里遇见了过世的父亲，还和他玩了个游戏。
For instance, they may remember to mention, a week after the event happened, that when they were in the wood they had met their dead father and had a game with him.
正是以这种漫不经心的方式，温迪在某天早晨透露了一件令人不安的事。
It was in this casual way that Wendy one morning made a disquieting revelation.
育儿室的地板上发现了一些树叶，这些树叶在孩子们上床睡觉时肯定不在那里，达林太太正为此百思不得其解，这时温迪带着一种宽容的微笑说道：
Some leaves of a tree had been found on the nursery floor, which certainly were not there when the children went to bed, and Mrs. Darling was puzzling over them when Wendy said with a tolerant smile:
「我真的相信又是那个彼得搞的！」
"I do believe it is that Peter again!"
「温迪，你这是什么意思？」
"Whatever do you mean, Wendy?"
「他不擦脚就进来，真是太调皮了，」温迪叹气说道。
"It is so naughty of him not to wipe his feet," Wendy said, sighing.
她是个爱整洁的孩子。
She was a tidy child.
