Peter Pan — Page 5
「也许我应该把它熨一熨，」温迪若有所思地说，但彼得像所有男孩一样，对外表毫不在意，此刻他正欢天喜地地跳来跳去。
"Perhaps I should have ironed it," Wendy said thoughtfully, but Peter, boylike, was indifferent to appearances, and he was now jumping about in the wildest glee.
唉，他早已忘记自己的快乐是拜温迪所赐。
Alas, he had already forgotten that he owed his bliss to Wendy.
他以为是自己把影子接上去的。
He thought he had attached the shadow himself.
「我真聪明！」他得意洋洋地高声叫道，「哦，我是多么机灵啊！」
"How clever I am!" he crowed rapturously, "oh, the cleverness of me!"
不得不承认，彼得这种自负，偏偏是他最令人着迷的特质之一，说来真叫人汗颜。
It is humiliating to have to confess that this conceit of Peter was one of his most fascinating qualities.
直白地说，世上从未有过比他更自高自大的男孩。
To put it with brutal frankness, there never was a cockier boy.
但此刻温迪震惊了。「你这个自大鬼，」她厉声讥讽道，「我当然什么都没做！」
But for the moment Wendy was shocked. "You conceit," she exclaimed, with frightful sarcasm; "of course I did nothing!"
「你做了一点点，」彼得漫不经心地说，继续跳着舞。
"You did a little," Peter said carelessly, and continued to dance.
「一点点！」她傲然回答，「如果我毫无用处，我至少可以走开，」说着她以最庄重的姿态跳上床，用毯子蒙住了脸。
"A little!" she replied with hauteur; "if I am no use I can at least withdraw," and she sprang in the most dignified way into bed and covered her face with the blankets.
为了引她抬起头来，他假装要离开，但这一招不灵，于是他坐在床脚，用脚轻轻地碰了碰她。
To induce her to look up he pretended to be going away, and when this failed he sat on the end of the bed and tapped her gently with his foot.
「温迪，」他说，「别走开。温迪，我得意的时候就忍不住要欢叫，没办法。」
"Wendy," he said, "don't withdraw. I can't help crowing, Wendy, when I'm pleased with myself."
她仍然不肯抬头，尽管她正在屏息倾听。
Still she would not look up, though she was listening eagerly.
「温迪，」他用一种任何女人都无法抗拒的声音继续说道，「温迪，一个女孩顶得上二十个男孩。」
"Wendy," he continued, in a voice that no woman has ever yet been able to resist, "Wendy, one girl is more use than twenty boys.
