Peter Pan — Page 7
然后，其中出现了未被探索的地带，不断蔓延扩展，黑色的阴影在其中游移，猛兽的咆哮声听起来也完全不同了，最重要的是，你失去了必胜的把握。
Then unexplored patches arose in it and spread, black shadows moved about in them, the roar of the beasts of prey was quite different now, and above all, you lost the certainty that you would win.
你非常庆幸夜灯还亮着。
You were quite glad that the night-lights were on.
你甚至喜欢听娜娜说，这里只不过是壁炉台，而梦幻岛不过是虚构的而已。
You even liked Nana to say that this was just the mantelpiece over here, and that the Neverland was all make-believe.
当然，梦幻岛在那些日子里本是虚构的，但现在它是真实的，没有夜灯，而且每一刻都在变得更黑暗，娜娜在哪里呢？
Of course the Neverland had been make-believe in those days, but it was real now, and there were no night-lights, and it was getting darker every moment, and where was Nana?
他们原本各自飞行，此刻却紧紧靠近彼得。
They had been flying apart, but they huddled close to Peter now.
他那漫不经心的神态终于消失了，双眼闪闪发光，每当他们触碰到他的身体，就会感到一阵酥麻。
His careless manner had gone at last, his eyes were sparkling, and a tingle went through them every time they touched his body.
他们现在正飞越那座令人生畏的岛屿，飞得如此之低，有时树梢都会擦过他们的双脚。
They were now over the fearsome island, flying so low that sometimes a tree grazed their feet.
空中没有任何可怕的东西可见，然而他们的前进变得缓慢而费力，就好像在奋力穿越敌对的力量一般。
Nothing horrid was visible in the air, yet their progress had become slow and laboured, exactly as if they were pushing their way through hostile forces.
有时他们悬停在空中，直到彼得用拳头捶打空气才能前行。
Sometimes they hung in the air until Peter had beaten on it with his fists.
「他们不想让我们降落，」他解释道。
"They don't want us to land," he explained.
「他们是谁？」温迪颤抖着低声问道。
"Who are they?" Wendy whispered, shuddering.
但他无法或不愿说明。
But he could not or would not say.
小叮当原本在他的肩膀上睡着，但此刻他将她唤醒，让她先飞到前方去。
Tinker Bell had been asleep on his shoulder, but now he wakened her and sent her on in front.
