Peter Pan — Page 5
「温迪，」他悄声对她说，「如果你看到我忘记你了，就一直说'我是温迪'，这样我就会想起来。」
"I say, Wendy," he whispered to her, "always if you see me forgetting you, just keep on saying 'I'm Wendy,' and then I'll remember."
这当然不太令人满意。不过，为了弥补，他向他们展示了如何平躺在一阵顺风上借风飞行，这种变化十分惬意，他们试了好几次，发现这样睡觉也很安稳。
Of course this was rather unsatisfactory. However, to make amends he showed them how to lie out flat on a strong wind that was going their way, and this was such a pleasant change that they tried it several times and found that they could sleep thus with security.
事实上他们本可以睡得更久，但彼得很快就对睡觉感到厌倦，不一会儿便用他那船长般的声音喊道：「我们在这里下！」
Indeed they would have slept longer, but Peter tired quickly of sleeping, and soon he would cry in his captain voice, "We get off here."
就这样，他们偶尔拌拌嘴，但总体上嬉笑玩闹，渐渐靠近了梦幻岛；经过许多个月亮之后，他们终于到达了那里，而且更值得一提的是，他们一路上走得相当笔直——这或许与彼得或叮叮的引导关系不大，倒不如说是因为那座岛在寻找他们。
So with occasional tiffs, but on the whole rollicking, they drew near the Neverland; for after many moons they did reach it, and, what is more, they had been going pretty straight all the time, not perhaps so much owing to the guidance of Peter or Tink as because the island was looking for them.
只有这样，任何人才能望见那片神奇的海岸。
It is only thus that any one may sight those magic shores.
「到了，」彼得平静地说。
"There it is," said Peter calmly.
「在哪里，在哪里？」
"Where, where?"
「所有箭头指向的地方。」
"Where all the arrows are pointing."
果然，无数金色的箭头正为孩子们指明方向，全都是由他们的朋友太阳射出的——太阳希望在离开他们休息之前，确保他们认准了路。
Indeed a million golden arrows were pointing it out to the children, all directed by their friend the sun, who wanted them to be sure of their way before leaving them for the night.
温迪、约翰和迈克尔在空中踮起脚尖，想要第一眼看见那座岛。
Wendy and John and Michael stood on tip-toe in the air to get their first sight of the island.
