Peter Pan — Page 4
「我记得吻，」斯莱特利赶忙插话，「让我看看。啊，那就是吻。」
"I remember kisses," Slightly interposed quickly, "let me see it. Ay, that's a kiss."
彼得没有听他说话。他正在恳求温迪快点好起来，这样他就能带她去看美人鱼了。
Peter did not hear him. He was begging Wendy to get better quickly, so that he could show her the mermaids.
当然，温迪还无法回答，因为她仍然昏迷不醒；但从头顶上方传来了一声哀鸣。
Of course she could not answer yet, being still in a frightful faint; but from overhead came a wailing note.
「听听婷可的声音，」柯利说，「她在哭泣，因为温迪还活着。」
"Listen to Tink," said Curly, "she is crying because the Wendy lives."
于是他们不得不把婷可的罪行告诉彼得，他们几乎从未见过他如此严肃的表情。
Then they had to tell Peter of Tink's crime, and almost never had they seen him look so stern.
「听着，小叮当，」他喊道，「我再也不是你的朋友了。永远从我面前消失吧。」
"Listen, Tinker Bell," he cried, "I am your friend no more. Begone from me for ever."
她飞到他的肩膀上苦苦哀求，但他把她拂开了。直到温迪再次抬起手臂，他才勉强软化，说道：「好吧，不是永远，但要整整一个星期。」
She flew on to his shoulder and pleaded, but he brushed her off. Not until Wendy again raised her arm did he relent sufficiently to say, "Well, not for ever, but for a whole week."
你以为小叮当会因为温迪抬起手臂而感激她吗？哦，当然不会，她从没有这么想掐她过。精灵们确实很奇怪，而最了解他们的彼得，也常常敲打他们。
Do you think Tinker Bell was grateful to Wendy for raising her arm? Oh dear no, never wanted to pinch her so much. Fairies indeed are strange, and Peter, who understood them best, often cuffed them.
但是，该如何安置此刻身体虚弱的温迪呢？
But what to do with Wendy in her present delicate state of health?
「我们把她抬下去放进屋里吧，」柯利建议道。
"Let us carry her down into the house," Curly suggested.
「对，」斯莱特利说，「对待女士就应该这样做。」
"Ay," said Slightly, "that is what one does with ladies."
「不，不，」彼得说，「你们不能碰她。那样做不够尊重。」
"No, no," Peter said, "you must not touch her. It would not be sufficiently respectful."
「这，」斯莱特利说，「正是我所想的。」
"That," said Slightly, "is what I was thinking."
「但如果她就躺在那里，」图托斯说，「她会死的。」
"But if she lies there," Tootles said, "she will die."
