Peter Pan — Page 5
他一动不动地站着，一只手放在耳边。
He stood motionless, one hand to his ear.
"海盗！"他喊道。
"Pirates!" he cried.
其他人都向他靠近。
The others came closer to him.
他脸上浮现出一种奇异的微笑，温迪看见了，不禁打了个寒颤。
A strange smile was playing about his face, and Wendy saw it and shuddered.
只要那个微笑还挂在他脸上，谁都不敢开口说话；他们所能做的只是站在那里，随时准备服从命令。
While that smile was on his face no one dared address him; all they could do was to stand ready to obey.
命令简短而果断地下达了。
The order came sharp and incisive.
"潜水！"
"Dive!"
一道腿影一闪，泻湖瞬间看起来空无一人。
There was a gleam of legs, and instantly the lagoon seemed deserted.
流放者礁孤零零地矗立在那片令人望而生畏的水域中，仿佛它自己也被遗弃在那里。
Marooners' Rock stood alone in the forbidding waters as if it were itself marooned.
那艘船越来越近。
The boat drew nearer.
那是海盗的小艇，船上有三个人影——斯密和斯塔基，第三个是一名俘虏，正是虎百合。
It was the pirate dinghy, with three figures in her, Smee and Starkey, and the third a captive, no other than Tiger Lily.
她的双手和脚踝都被捆绑着，她知道自己将面临什么样的命运。
Her hands and ankles were tied, and she knew what was to be her fate.
她将被遗弃在礁石上等死，对她族人来说，这种结局比火刑或酷刑还要可怕，因为部落的典籍中不是写明了吗——没有任何一条穿越水域通往幸福猎场的道路。
She was to be left on the rock to perish, an end to one of her race more terrible than death by fire or torture, for is it not written in the book of the tribe that there is no path through water to the happy hunting-ground?
然而她面色平静；她是酋长之女，她必须以酋长之女的方式赴死，这已足够。
Yet her face was impassive; she was the daughter of a chief, she must die as a chief's daughter, it is enough.
他们抓住她时，她正口衔一把刀攀上海盗船。
They had caught her boarding the pirate ship with a knife in her mouth.
船上没有设岗哨，因为胡克一向吹嘘，他的名号就像一阵风，足以守护方圆一英里内的船只。
No watch was kept on the ship, it being Hook's boast that the wind of his name guarded the ship for a mile around.
如今她的命运也将有助于守护那艘船。
Now her fate would help to guard it also.
