Peter Pan — Page 2
他轻声呼唤道："小叮当，"他先确认孩子们都睡着了，"叮叮，你在哪里？"
"Tinker Bell," he called softly, after making sure that the children were asleep, "Tink, where are you?"
她那时正待在一个水壶里，而且非常喜欢；她以前从未待过水壶。
She was in a jug for the moment, and liking it extremely; she had never been in a jug before.
「哦，快从那个水壶里出来，告诉我，你知道他们把我的影子放在哪里了吗？」
"Oh, do come out of that jug, and tell me, do you know where they put my shadow?"
一阵清脆悦耳的声音响起，如同金铃叮当，回应了他。
The loveliest tinkle as of golden bells answered him.
那是仙子的语言。
It is the fairy language.
你们这些普通的孩子永远听不见它，但如果你们真的听见了，你们会知道自己以前曾经听过。
You ordinary children can never hear it, but if you were to hear it you would know that you had heard it once before.
叮叮说影子在那个大箱子里。
Tink said that the shadow was in the big box.
她指的是那个五斗柜，彼得便猛地扑向抽屉，双手将里面的东西一股脑儿撒到地板上，就像国王向人群抛洒铜板一样。
She meant the chest of drawers, and Peter jumped at the drawers, scattering their contents to the floor with both hands, as kings toss ha'pence to the crowd.
片刻之间他找回了自己的影子，欣喜之余，他忘记了自己把小叮当关在了抽屉里。
In a moment he had recovered his shadow, and in his delight he forgot that he had shut Tinker Bell up in the drawer.
如果他有想过什么的话——不过我不相信他会思考——他大概以为他和他的影子靠近时，会像水滴一样自然融合在一起。
If he thought at all, but I don't believe he ever thought, it was that he and his shadow, when brought near each other, would join like drops of water,
当他们没能融合时，他惊恐万分。
and when they did not he was appalled.
他试着用浴室里的肥皂把影子粘上去，但也失败了。
He tried to stick it on with soap from the bathroom, but that also failed.
彼得浑身一阵颤抖，坐在地板上哭了起来。
A shudder passed through Peter, and he sat on the floor and cried.
他的哭泣声惊醒了温迪，她在床上坐了起来。
His sobs woke Wendy, and she sat up in bed.
