Peter Pan — Page 8
他真的以为这是真的，此时已换上睡衣的温迪也信以为真，她为了鼓励迈克尔，说道：
He really thought this was true, and Wendy, who was now in her night-gown, believed it also, and she said, to encourage Michael,
「你有时候吃的那种药，爸爸，要难喝得多吧？」
"That medicine you sometimes take, father, is much nastier, isn't it?"
「难喝得多了，」达林先生勇敢地说，
"Ever so much nastier," Mr. Darling said bravely,
「我现在本可以喝给你看，给你做个榜样，迈克尔，只是那瓶药我找不到了。」
"and I would take it now as an example to you, Michael, if I hadn't lost the bottle."
其实他并没有真的弄丢它；他曾在深夜悄悄爬上衣柜顶，把它藏在了那里。
He had not exactly lost it; he had climbed in the dead of night to the top of the wardrobe and hidden it there.
他不知道的是，忠心的莉莎已经找到了那瓶药，并把它放回了他的洗脸台上。
What he did not know was that the faithful Liza had found it, and put it back on his wash-stand.
「我知道它在哪里，爸爸，」温迪喊道，她向来乐于帮忙。
"I know where it is, father," Wendy cried, always glad to be of service.
「我去拿来，」她说完便跑了出去，根本没给他阻拦的机会。
"I'll bring it," and she was off before he could stop her.
他的心情立刻以一种奇怪的方式跌落到了谷底。
Immediately his spirits sank in the strangest way.
「约翰，」他打了个寒颤说，「这东西太难喝了，又黏又甜的，真叫人恶心。」
"John," he said, shuddering, "it's most beastly stuff. It's that nasty, sticky, sweet kind."
「很快就会过去的，爸爸，」约翰欢快地说，随后温迪就端着一杯药冲了进来。
"It will soon be over, father," John said cheerily, and then in rushed Wendy with the medicine in a glass.
「我已经尽快了，」她气喘吁吁地说。
"I have been as quick as I could," she panted.
「你确实快得出奇，」她父亲回敬道，语气中带着一丝恶意的客气，只是这客气完全白费在她身上了。
"You have been wonderfully quick," her father retorted, with a vindictive politeness that was quite thrown away upon her.
「迈克尔先喝，」他固执地说。
"Michael first," he said doggedly.
「爸爸先喝，」迈克尔说，他生性多疑。
"Father first," said Michael, who was of a suspicious nature.
「你知道的，我会吐的，」达林先生威胁般地说。
"I shall be sick, you know," Mr. Darling said threateningly.
「来吧，爸爸，」约翰说。
"Come on, father," said John.
「约翰，给我闭嘴，」他父亲厉声呵道。
"Hold your tongue, John," his father rapped out.
温迪感到十分困惑。
Wendy was quite puzzled.
