Peter Pan — Page 10
他有时会有一种顽皮的幽默感，他们以为这就是其中一个时刻。
He had a playful humour at moments, and they thought this was one of the moments.
「没事的，船长，」斯密心满意足地回答道；「我们放她走了。」
"That is all right, captain," Smee answered complacently; "we let her go."
「放她走！」胡克大叫道。
"Let her go!" cried Hook.
「那是您自己下的命令，」大副支支吾吾地说。
"'Twas your own orders," the bo'sun faltered.
「您隔着水对我们喊，叫我们放她走，」斯塔基说。
"You called over the water to us to let her go," said Starkey.
「硫磺与苦胆，」胡克怒吼道，「这里到底在搞什么鬼把戏！」
"Brimstone and gall," thundered Hook, "what cozening is going on here!"
他的脸因愤怒而变得铁青，但他看出他们相信自己说的话，这让他感到震惊。
His face had gone black with rage, but he saw that they believed their words, and he was startled.
「孩子们，」他说，身体微微颤抖，「我没有下过这样的命令。」
"Lads," he said, shaking a little, "I gave no such order."
「这真是奇怪，」斯密说，大家都坐立不安，浑身不自在。
"It is passing queer," Smee said, and they all fidgeted uncomfortably.
胡克提高了嗓门，但声音里带着一丝颤抖。
Hook raised his voice, but there was a quiver in it.
「徘徊在今夜这黑暗泻湖上的幽灵，」他喊道，「你听见我吗？」
"Spirit that haunts this dark lagoon to-night," he cried, "dost hear me?"
彼得当然应该保持沉默，但他当然没有。
Of course Peter should have kept quiet, but of course he did not.
他立刻用胡克的声音回答道：
He immediately answered in Hook's voice:
「哎呀，我的老天爷，我听见你了。」
"Odds, bobs, hammer and tongs, I hear you."
在那个千钧一发的时刻，胡克面不改色，连腮帮子都没动一下，但斯密和斯塔基却吓得紧紧抱在一起。
In that supreme moment Hook did not blanch, even at the gills, but Smee and Starkey clung to each other in terror.
「你是谁，陌生人？说话！」胡克喝道。
"Who are you, stranger? Speak!" Hook demanded.
「我是詹姆斯·胡克，」那声音回答道，「快乐罗杰号的船长。」
"I am James Hook," replied the voice, "captain of the Jolly Roger."
「你不是；你根本不是，」胡克沙哑地喊道。
"You are not; you are not," Hook cried hoarsely.
「硫磺与苦胆，」那声音反驳道，「再说一遍，我就把锚抛在你身上。」
"Brimstone and gall," the voice retorted, "say that again, and I'll cast anchor in you."
胡克换了一种更讨好的语气。「如果你是胡克，」他几乎是谦卑地说，「来告诉我，我又是谁？」
Hook tried a more ingratiating manner. "If you are Hook," he said almost humbly, "come tell me, who am I?
