Peter Pan — Page 10
史莱特利当然是第一个抢着说话的。
Of course Slightly was the first to get his word in.
他急忙说道："温迪女士，这栋房子是我们为您建造的。"
"Wendy lady," he said rapidly, "for you we built this house."
"哦，快说您喜欢吧，"尼布斯叫道。
"Oh, say you're pleased," cried Nibs.
"可爱迷人的小屋，"温迪说道，这正是他们希望她说的话。
"Lovely, darling house," Wendy said, and they were the very words they had hoped she would say.
"我们是您的孩子，"双胞胎叫道。
"And we are your children," cried the twins.
随后所有人都跪了下来，伸出双臂喊道："哦，温迪女士，做我们的妈妈吧。"
Then all went on their knees, and holding out their arms cried, "O Wendy lady, be our mother."
"我可以吗？"温迪说，眼中闪着光芒。
"Ought I?" Wendy said, all shining.
"这当然极其诱人，但您看，我只是个小女孩，没有什么真正的经验。"
"Of course it's frightfully fascinating, but you see I am only a little girl. I have no real experience."
"这没关系，"彼得说，好像只有他一个人对此了如指掌，尽管实际上他懂得最少。
"That doesn't matter," said Peter, as if he were the only person present who knew all about it, though he was really the one who knew least.
"我们需要的只是一个慈爱的人。"
"What we need is just a nice motherly person."
"哦，天哪！"温迪说，"您看，我觉得我恰恰就是这样的人。"
"Oh dear!" Wendy said, "you see, I feel that is exactly what I am."
"是的，是的，"大家都叫道，"我们一眼就看出来了。"
"It is, it is," they all cried; "we saw it at once."
"好吧，"她说，"我会尽力而为的。
"Very well," she said, "I will do my best.
快进来，你们这些调皮的孩子；我肯定你们的脚都湿了。
Come inside at once, you naughty children; I am sure your feet are damp.
在我哄你们上床睡觉之前，我还有时间讲完灰姑娘的故事。"
And before I put you to bed I have just time to finish the story of Cinderella."
他们走了进去；我不知道里面怎么能容得下他们所有人，不过在梦幻岛里，你可以挤得非常紧。
In they went; I don't know how there was room for them, but you can squeeze very tight in the Neverland.
那是他们与温迪共度的许多个欢乐夜晚中的第一个。
And that was the first of the many joyous evenings they had with Wendy.
