Peter Pan — Page 2
温迪和迈克尔第一次就找到了适合自己的树，但约翰的树不得不稍作调整。
Wendy and Michael fitted their trees at the first try, but John had to be altered a little.
练习了几天之后，他们上上下下就像井里的吊桶一样轻松自如。
After a few days' practice they could go up and down as gaily as buckets in a well.
他们对地下的家是多么热切地深爱着啊，尤其是温迪。
And how ardently they grew to love their home under the ground; especially Wendy.
它由一间大房间组成，就像所有的房子都应该有的那样，地板上可以挖洞钓鱼，地板上还长着颜色迷人的粗壮蘑菇，被用来当凳子。
It consisted of one large room, as all houses should do, with a floor in which you could dig if you wanted to go fishing, and in this floor grew stout mushrooms of a charming colour, which were used as stools.
房间中央有一棵"永不树"拼命地想往上长，但每天早上他们都会把树干从与地板齐平的地方锯断。
A Never tree tried hard to grow in the centre of the room, but every morning they sawed the trunk through, level with the floor.
到喝茶的时候，树总是长到大约两英尺高，于是他们就在上面放一扇门，整体就变成了一张桌子；一旦他们收拾完毕，又把树干锯掉，这样就有更多的空间玩耍了。
By tea-time it was always about two feet high, and then they put a door on top of it, the whole thus becoming a table; as soon as they cleared away, they sawed off the trunk again, and thus there was more room to play.
房间里有一个巨大的壁炉，几乎可以放在你想点火的任何地方，温迪在壁炉上方拉起几根纤维绳，把洗好的衣服晾在上面。
There was an enormous fireplace which was in almost any part of the room where you cared to light it, and across this Wendy stretched strings, made of fibre, from which she suspended her washing.
床白天靠着墙竖起来，晚上六点半放下来，几乎占据了半间房；除了迈克尔，所有的男孩都睡在里面，像罐头里的沙丁鱼一样挤在一起。
The bed was tilted against the wall by day, and let down at 6:30, when it filled nearly half the room; and all the boys slept in it, except Michael, lying like sardines in a tin.
有一条严格的规定，禁止随意翻身，要等到有人发出信号，大家才能同时翻身。
There was a strict rule against turning round until one gave the signal, when all turned at once.
