Peter Pan — Page 4
然而，温迪立刻感觉到自己正置身于一场悲剧之中。
Wendy, however, felt at once that she was in the presence of a tragedy.
「哦，彼得，难怪你在哭，」她说，随即从床上跳下来，跑向他。
"O Peter, no wonder you were crying," she said, and got out of bed and ran to him.
「我不是在为妈妈哭，」他有些愤愤地说。「我哭是因为我没办法让影子粘回去。再说了，我根本没在哭。」
"I wasn't crying about mothers," he said rather indignantly. "I was crying because I can't get my shadow to stick on. Besides, I wasn't crying."
「影子脱落了？」
"It has come off?"
「是的。」
"Yes."
这时温迪看见影子瘫软地躺在地板上，她为彼得感到非常难过。
Then Wendy saw the shadow on the floor, looking so draggled, and she was frightfully sorry for Peter.
「真是太糟糕了！」她说，但当她看见他一直在用肥皂试图把影子粘回去时，她忍不住笑了出来。
"How awful!" she said, but she could not help smiling when she saw that he had been trying to stick it on with soap.
真是太像个男孩子了！
How exactly like a boy!
幸好她立刻知道该怎么做。「必须把它缝上，」她说，语气略带一丝居高临下。
Fortunately she knew at once what to do. "It must be sewn on," she said, just a little patronisingly.
「什么是缝？」他问道。
"What's sewn?" he asked.
「你真是太无知了。」
"You're dreadfully ignorant."
「才不是呢。」
"No, I'm not."
但她正暗自为他的无知而得意。「我来替你缝上吧，我的小男子汉，」她说——尽管他和她一样高——于是她拿出针线包，把影子缝到了彼得的脚上。
But she was exulting in his ignorance. "I shall sew it on for you, my little man," she said, though he was tall as herself, and she got out her housewife, and sewed the shadow on to Peter's foot.
「也许会有点痛，」她提醒他。
"I daresay it will hurt a little," she warned him.
「哦，我才不会哭呢，」彼得说——他已经深信自己这辈子从来没有哭过。
"Oh, I shan't cry," said Peter, who was already of the opinion that he had never cried in his life.
他咬紧牙关，没有哭出来，不久他的影子就乖乖地跟着他了，尽管还有些皱褶。
And he clenched his teeth and did not cry, and soon his shadow was behaving properly, though still a little creased.
