Peter Pan — Page 6

其实那天晚上不一定是星期六，也许是的，因为他们早就不记得日子了；但每当他们想做什么特别的事情时，就说那天是星期六晚上，然后便去做了。

It was not really Saturday night, at least it may have been, for they had long lost count of the days; but always if they wanted to do anything special they said this was Saturday night, and then they did it.

「当然是星期六晚上，彼得，」温迪心软地说。

"Of course it is Saturday night, Peter," Wendy said, relenting.

「我们这把年纪的人，温迪！」

"People of our figure, Wendy!"

「但这只是在我们自己的子女面前嘛。」

"But it is only among our own progeny."

「说得对，说得对。」

"True, true."

于是孩子们被告知可以跳舞，但必须先换上睡衣。

So they were told they could dance, but they must put on their nighties first.

「啊，老伴，」彼得悄悄对温迪说，他靠着火取暖，俯视着坐在那里织袜跟的她，「每天劳作结束后，傍晚时分你我坐在炉火旁，小家伙们就在身边，这是再惬意不过的事了。」

"Ah, old lady," Peter said aside to Wendy, warming himself by the fire and looking down at her as she sat turning a heel, "there is nothing more pleasant of an evening for you and me when the day's toil is over than to rest by the fire with the little ones near by."

「真甜蜜，彼得，不是吗？」温迪说，心里高兴极了。「彼得，我觉得卷毛长了你的鼻子。」

"It is sweet, Peter, isn't it?" Wendy said, frightfully gratified. "Peter, I think Curly has your nose."

「迈克尔像你。」

"Michael takes after you."

她走到他身边，把手放在他肩上。

She went to him and put her hand on his shoulder.

「亲爱的彼得，」她说，「有这么大一个家，我当然已经过了自己最好的时光，但你不想换掉我，对吗？」

"Dear Peter," she said, "with such a large family, of course, I have now passed my best, but you don't want to change me, do you?"

「不，温迪。」

"No, Wendy."

他当然不想改变，但他不安地看着她，你知道，眨着眼，像一个不确定自己是醒着还是睡着的人。

Certainly he did not want a change, but he looked at her uncomfortably, blinking, you know, like one not sure whether he was awake or asleep.

「彼得，怎么了？」

"Peter, what is it?"

「我只是在想，」他说，有点害怕。

"I was just thinking," he said, a little scared.
