Peter Pan — Page 8
温迪听她说过太多次了，根本不需要翻译。
She had said it so often that Wendy needed no translation.
"我几乎同意她的看法，"温迪厉声说道。
"I almost agree with her," Wendy snapped.
真想不到温迪会这样！
Fancy Wendy snapping!
但她已经被逼得够苦了，而且她根本不知道这个夜晚结束之前将会发生什么。
But she had been much tried, and she little knew what was to happen before the night was out.
如果她知道的话，她就不会那样厉声说话了。
If she had known she would not have snapped.
他们谁都不知道。
None of them knew.
也许不知道反而是最好的。
Perhaps it was best not to know.
他们的懵然无知又为他们换来了一个快乐的小时；而这既然是他们在小岛上的最后一个小时，就让我们为这六十分钟的欢乐而欣慰吧。
Their ignorance gave them one more glad hour; and as it was to be their last hour on the island, let us rejoice that there were sixty glad minutes in it.
他们穿着睡衣又唱又跳。
They sang and danced in their night-gowns.
那是一首美妙而令人毛骨悚然的歌，他们假装被自己的影子吓坏了，却浑然不知很快就会有影子向他们逼近，令他们真正地感到恐惧。
Such a deliciously creepy song it was, in which they pretended to be frightened at their own shadows, little witting that so soon shadows would close in upon them, from whom they would shrink in real fear.
那舞蹈欢腾得无比热闹，他们在床上床下互相推来搡去！
So uproariously gay was the dance, and how they buffeted each other on the bed and out of it!
与其说是跳舞，不如说是一场枕头大战，当一切结束时，枕头们坚持要再来一局，就像知道彼此可能永远不会再相聚的伙伴。
It was a pillow fight rather than a dance, and when it was finished, the pillows insisted on one bout more, like partners who know that they may never meet again.
在轮到温迪讲晚安故事之前，他们讲了好多故事！
The stories they told, before it was time for Wendy's good-night story!
就连斯莱特利那晚也尝试着讲故事，但开头实在乏味透顶，不仅让其他人大为扫兴，连他自己也不例外，于是他沮丧地说：
Even Slightly tried to tell a story that night, but the beginning was so fearfully dull that it appalled not only the others but himself, and he said gloomily:
"是的，开头确实很无聊。我说，咱们就假装这是结尾吧。"
"Yes, it is a dull beginning. I say, let us pretend that it is the end.
