Peter Pan — Page 11
过了一会儿，她把他们都安顿在树下小屋里那张大床上，
By and by she tucked them up in the great bed in the home under the trees,
但她自己那晚睡在小屋里，
but she herself slept that night in the little house,
彼得在外面持剑守卫，
and Peter kept watch outside with drawn sword,
因为远处能听到海盗们狂欢作乐的声音，狼群也在四处游荡。
for the pirates could be heard carousing far away and the wolves were on the prowl.
那间小屋在黑暗中看起来如此温馨安全，
The little house looked so cosy and safe in the darkness,
百叶窗透出明亮的灯光，
with a bright light showing through its blinds,
烟囱里袅袅升起美丽的炊烟，
and the chimney smoking beautifully,
彼得站在门外守护着一切。
and Peter standing on guard.
过了一段时间，他睡着了，
After a time he fell asleep,
一些醉醺醺的仙子不得不从他身上爬过，踏上回家的路，
and some unsteady fairies had to climb over him on their way home from an orgy.
若是其他任何男孩挡住了仙子的路，他们都会受到捉弄，
Any of the other boys obstructing the fairy path at night they would have mischiefed,
但仙子们只是捏了捏彼得的鼻子，便继续走了。
but they just tweaked Peter's nose and passed on.
