Peter Pan — Page 9

Chinese → English Chapter V. Level 4/10

「我是唯一不怕海盗的人,」斯莱特利用那种让他不太受欢迎的语气说道;但也许某个遥远的声音打扰了他,因为他急忙补充道,「但我希望他能回来,告诉我们他是否又听到了关于灰姑娘的消息。」

"I am the only one who is not afraid of the pirates," Slightly said, in the tone that prevented his being a general favourite; but perhaps some distant sound disturbed him, for he added hastily, "but I wish he would come back, and tell us whether he has heard anything more about Cinderella."

他们谈起了灰姑娘,图特尔斯深信他的母亲一定和灰姑娘非常相像。

They talked of Cinderella, and Tootles was confident that his mother must have been very like her.

只有在彼得不在的时候,他们才能谈论母亲这个话题,因为彼得认为这个话题很幼稚,禁止他们提及。

It was only in Peter's absence that they could speak of mothers, the subject being forbidden by him as silly.

「关于我母亲,我所记得的,」尼布斯告诉他们,「就是她常对我父亲说:'哦,我多么希望有一本属于自己的支票簿!'我不知道支票簿是什么,但我真的很想送给我母亲一本。」

"All I remember about my mother," Nibs told them, "is that she often said to my father, 'Oh, how I wish I had a cheque-book of my own!' I don't know what a cheque-book is, but I should just love to give my mother one."

他们谈话的时候,听到了一个遥远的声音。你我这样不是林中野物的人什么也听不到,但他们却听到了,那是一首阴森的歌谣:

While they talked they heard a distant sound. You or I, not being wild things of the woods, would have heard nothing, but they heard it, and it was the grim song:

「哟呵,哟呵,海盗的生涯, 骷髅与白骨的旗帜, 欢乐的时光,一根麻绳, 嘿,戴维·琼斯在等待。」

"Yo ho, yo ho, the pirate life, The flag o' skull and bones, A merry hour, a hempen rope, And hey for Davy Jones."

迷失男孩们立刻——但他们在哪里?他们已经不见了。兔子也不可能消失得这么快。

At once the lost boys—but where are they? They are no longer there. Rabbits could not have disappeared more quickly.

我来告诉你们他们在哪里。

I will tell you where they are.
