Peter Pan — Page 13
其他人都是勇敢的男孩，他们因为躲避海盗船长而不应受到责备。他的铁钩在他周围划出了一圈死水，他们像受惊的鱼一样四散逃开。
The others were all brave boys, and they must not be blamed for backing from the pirate captain. His iron claw made a circle of dead water round him, from which they fled like affrighted fishes.
但有一个人不怕他：有一个人准备好进入那个圈子。
But there was one who did not fear him: there was one prepared to enter that circle.
奇怪的是，他们相遇的地方并不在水中。虎克爬上礁石呼吸，就在同一时刻，彼得从另一侧攀上了礁石。礁石滑得像个球，他们只能爬行而非攀登。两人都不知道对方正在靠近。各自摸索着抓手时，手碰到了对方的手臂：两人都吃了一惊，抬起头来；他们的脸几乎碰在了一起；就这样，他们相遇了。
Strangely, it was not in the water that they met. Hook rose to the rock to breathe, and at the same moment Peter scaled it on the opposite side. The rock was slippery as a ball, and they had to crawl rather than climb. Neither knew that the other was coming. Each feeling for a grip met the other's arm: in surprise they raised their heads; their faces were almost touching; so they met.
一些最伟大的英雄都曾坦承，就在他们投入战斗之前，心里曾有过一阵忐忑。如果彼得在那一刻也有过这样的感受，我会承认的。毕竟，他是海上厨师唯一畏惧过的人。但彼得没有丝毫忐忑，他只有一种感觉——喜悦；他高兴地咬紧了他那漂亮的牙齿。他像闪念般迅速地从虎克腰带上抢过一把刀，正要将它刺入要害，这时他发现自己站在礁石上比对手高。那样打下去并不公平。他伸出一只手，帮助海盗爬上来。
Some of the greatest heroes have confessed that just before they fell to they had a sinking. Had it been so with Peter at that moment I would admit it. After all, he was the only man that the Sea-Cook had feared. But Peter had no sinking, he had one feeling only, gladness; and he gnashed his pretty teeth with joy. Quick as thought he snatched a knife from Hook's belt and was about to drive it home, when he saw that he was higher up the rock than his foe. It would not have been fighting fair. He gave the pirate a hand to help him up.
就在那时，虎克咬了他。
It was then that Hook bit him.
