Peter Pan — Page 15

Chinese → English Chapter V. Level 4/10

追赶者们的舌头都伸了出来,他们的嚎叫声令人毛骨悚然。

The tongues of the pursuers were hanging out; the baying of them was horrible.

"救救我,救救我!"尼布斯哭喊着,跌倒在地上。

"Save me, save me!" cried Nibs, falling on the ground.

"可是我们能怎么办,我们能怎么办呢?"

"But what can we do, what can we do?"

在这危急关头,他们的念头转向了彼得,这对彼得来说是极高的赞誉。

It was a high compliment to Peter that at that dire moment their thoughts turned to him.

"彼得会怎么做?"他们齐声喊道。

"What would Peter do?" they cried simultaneously.

几乎在同一口气间,他们喊道:"彼得会从自己的两腿之间看着他们。"

Almost in the same breath they cried, "Peter would look at them through his legs."

然后,"让我们做彼得会做的事。"

And then, "Let us do what Peter would do."

这确实是对付狼最有效的方法,男孩们像一个人一样弯下身子,从两腿之间向外望去。

It is quite the most successful way of defying wolves, and as one boy they bent and looked through their legs.

接下来的一刻显得格外漫长,但胜利来得很快,因为当男孩们以这种可怕的姿势向狼群逼近时,狼们夹着尾巴逃跑了。

The next moment is the long one, but victory came quickly, for as the boys advanced upon them in the terrible attitude, the wolves dropped their tails and fled.

这时尼布斯从地上站了起来,其他人以为他那双瞪大的眼睛仍然看见了狼。

Now Nibs rose from the ground, and the others thought that his staring eyes still saw the wolves.

但他看见的并不是狼。

But it was not wolves he saw.

"我看见了一件更奇妙的东西,"他喊道,大家急切地围拢到他身边。"一只巨大的白鸟,正朝这个方向飞来。"

"I have seen a wonderfuller thing," he cried, as they gathered round him eagerly. "A great white bird. It is flying this way."

"你觉得是什么样的鸟?"

"What kind of a bird, do you think?"

"我不知道,"尼布斯敬畏地说,"但它看起来非常疲惫,飞翔时还呻吟着,'可怜的温迪。'"

"I don't know," Nibs said, awestruck, "but it looks so weary, and as it flies it moans, 'Poor Wendy.'"

"可怜的温迪?"

"Poor Wendy?"

"我记得,"斯莱特利立刻说,"有一种鸟叫做温迪鸟。"

"I remember," said Slightly instantly, "there are birds called Wendies."

"看,它来了!"柯利喊道,指向天空中的温迪。

"See, it comes!" cried Curly, pointing to Wendy in the heavens.
