Peter Pan — Page 5

Chinese → English Chapter IX. Level 4/10

每个男孩都有冒险故事要讲;

Every boy had adventures to tell;

但也许所有冒险中最大的冒险,是他们比平时晚了好几个小时才上床睡觉。

but perhaps the biggest adventure of all was that they were several hours late for bed.

这让他们得意洋洋,于是想出各种狡猾的办法来拖延睡觉的时间,比如嚷嚷着要包扎绷带;

This so inflated them that they did various dodgy things to get staying up still longer, such as demanding bandages;

但温迪虽然为大家平安回家而欣喜若狂,却对这么晚的时辰感到十分震惊,

but Wendy, though glorying in having them all home again safe and sound, was scandalised by the lateness of the hour,

她用一种不容违抗的声音喊道:"去睡觉,去睡觉!"

and cried, "To bed, to bed," in a voice that had to be obeyed.

然而第二天,她却温柔极了,给每个人都发了绷带,

Next day, however, she was awfully tender, and gave out bandages to every one,

大家一直玩到睡觉时间,装作一瘸一拐地走路,或是用吊带吊着胳膊。

and they played till bed-time at limping about and carrying their arms in slings.
