Peter Pan — Page 3

Chinese → English Chapter VII. Level 5/10

迈克尔本来也应该用它的,但温迪要照顾一个婴儿,而他又是最小的,况且你也知道女人的习性,总而言之,他被挂在了一个篮子里。

Michael should have used it also, but Wendy would have a baby, and he was the littlest, and you know what women are, and the short and long of it is that he was hung up in a basket.

这个地下小屋粗糙简陋,就像小熊们在同样情况下挖出的地下巢穴一般。

It was rough and simple, and not unlike what baby bears would have made of an underground house in the same circumstances.

但墙上有一处凹室,大小不过一个鸟笼,那是小叮当的私人闺房。

But there was one recess in the wall, no larger than a bird-cage, which was the private apartment of Tinker Bell.

那凹室可以用一道小帷幔与屋子其余部分隔开,极为讲究的小叮当每逢更衣或脱衣时,总是把帷幔拉上。

It could be shut off from the rest of the house by a tiny curtain, which Tink, who was most fastidious, always kept drawn when dressing or undressing.

无论哪位女士,不管身形多么高大,都不可能拥有一间比这更精致的闺房兼卧室。

No woman, however large, could have had a more exquisite boudoir and bed-chamber combined.

那张她总称之为"卧榻"的床,是一张货真价实的玛布女王款式,带着弯脚;她还会根据当季盛开的花朵来更换床罩。

The couch, as she always called it, was a genuine Queen Mab, with club legs; and she varied the bedspreads according to what fruit-blossom was in season.

她的镜子是一面"穿靴子的猫"款式的,据仙子古董商所知,这种镜子如今完好无缺的只剩三面了。

Her mirror was a Puss-in-Boots, of which there are now only three, unchipped, known to fairy dealers;

洗手台是"酥皮"款式,可以翻转使用;五斗柜是正宗的"迷人第六世"款式;地毯和小毯子则是"玛杰丽与罗宾"最佳的早期作品。

the washstand was Pie-crust and reversible, the chest of drawers an authentic Charming the Sixth, and the carpet and rugs the best (the early) period of Margery and Robin.

屋里还挂着一盏来自"跳跳棋"的枝形吊灯,不过只是摆摆样子,屋子里的光当然是小叮当自己发出来的。

There was a chandelier from Tiddlywinks for the look of the thing, but of course she lit the residence herself.

小叮当对屋子其余部分颇为不屑,这或许是在所难免的;她的闺房虽然美丽,却显得有几分自命不凡,仿佛一只鼻子永远朝天翘着。

Tink was very contemptuous of the rest of the house, as indeed was perhaps inevitable, and her chamber, though beautiful, looked rather conceited, having the appearance of a nose permanently turned up.
