Peter Pan — Page 5

当她坐下来面对一篮子袜子时，每只袜子的后跟都有破洞，她会扬起双臂，感叹道："哎呀，我有时候真的觉得老姑娘们是值得羡慕的！"

When she sat down to a basketful of their stockings, every heel with a hole in it, she would fling up her arms and exclaim, "Oh dear, I am sure I sometimes think spinsters are to be envied!"

她说这话的时候，脸上洋溢着光彩。

Her face beamed when she exclaimed this.

你还记得她那只宠物狼吧。不久之后，那只狼发现她来到了岛上，找到了她，两个人就这样扑进了彼此的怀抱。从那以后，那只狼就寸步不离地跟着她。

You remember about her pet wolf. Well, it very soon discovered that she had come to the island and it found her out, and they just ran into each other's arms. After that it followed her about everywhere.

随着时光流逝，她是否常常思念她留在身后的挚爱双亲呢？这是个很难回答的问题，因为在梦幻岛，时间究竟是如何流逝的，实在无从判断——那里是以月亮和太阳来计算时间的，而那里的月亮和太阳比陆地上多得多。但我恐怕温迪并没有真的为父母担心；她完全相信他们会一直把窗户开着，让她随时能飞回去，这让她内心感到十分踏实。真正让她有时候感到不安的，是约翰对父母的记忆已经模糊，把他们当成了曾经认识的普通人，而迈克尔甚至愿意相信她才是他真正的母亲。

As time wore on did she think much about the beloved parents she had left behind her? This is a difficult question, because it is quite impossible to say how time does wear on in the Neverland, where it is calculated by moons and suns, and there are ever so many more of them than on the mainland. But I am afraid that Wendy did not really worry about her father and mother; she was absolutely confident that they would always keep the window open for her to fly back by, and this gave her complete ease of mind. What did disturb her at times was that John remembered his parents vaguely only, as people he had once known, while Michael was quite willing to believe that she was really his mother.
