Peter Pan — Page 2
岛上的男孩人数当然会有变化，因为他们有时会被杀掉之类的；当他们看起来渐渐长大时——这是违反规矩的——彼得就会把他们裁减一些；但此时共有六个男孩，把双胞胎算作两个人。
The boys on the island vary, of course, in numbers, according as they get killed and so on; and when they seem to be growing up, which is against the rules, Peter thins them out; but at this time there were six of them, counting the twins as two.
让我们假装躺在甘蔗丛中，看着他们排成一列悄悄走过，每个人手握匕首。
Let us pretend to lie here among the sugar-cane and watch them as they steal by in single file, each with his hand on his dagger.
彼得禁止他们的外表与他有丝毫相似，他们穿着自己亲手猎杀的熊的皮毛，因为皮毛又圆又蓬松，他们摔倒时就会滚来滚去。
They are forbidden by Peter to look in the least like him, and they wear the skins of the bears slain by themselves, in which they are so round and furry that when they fall they roll.
因此他们的脚步变得非常稳健。
They have therefore become very sure-footed.
第一个经过的是图特尔斯，他是那支英勇队伍中绝不是最胆小、却是最不幸的一个。
The first to pass is Tootles, not the least brave but the most unfortunate of all that gallant band.
他经历的冒险比任何人都少，因为大事总是恰好发生在他刚刚转过街角的时候；一切会变得平静，他便趁机出去捡几根木柴，等他回来时，其他人已经在打扫血迹了。
He had been in fewer adventures than any of them, because the big things constantly happened just when he had stepped round the corner; all would be quiet, he would take the opportunity of going off to gather a few sticks for firewood, and then when he returned the others would be sweeping up the blood.
这种厄运给他的面容带来了一丝温柔的忧郁，但它非但没有使他的性情变得苦涩，反而使他更加温和，因此他是男孩中最为谦逊的一个。
This ill-luck had given a gentle melancholy to his countenance, but instead of souring his nature had sweetened it, so that he was quite the humblest of the boys.
可怜善良的图特尔斯，今晚有危险在等待着你。
Poor kind Tootles, there is danger in the air for you to-night.
