Peter Pan — Page 2

「哎呀，哎呀，」温迪叹了口气。「话说这三个孩子有一位忠心的保姆，叫做娜娜；但是达林先生生了她的气，把她拴在院子里，于是所有的孩子都飞走了。」

"Oh dear, oh dear," sighed Wendy. "Now these three children had a faithful nurse called Nana; but Mr. Darling was angry with her and chained her up in the yard, and so all the children flew away."

「这个故事真的很棒，」尼布斯说。

"It's an awfully good story," said Nibs.

「他们飞走了，」温迪继续说，「飞到了梦幻岛，那是迷途孩子们所在的地方。」

"They flew away," Wendy continued, "to the Neverland, where the lost children are."

「我就知道他们会飞走的，」卷毛兴奋地插嘴道。「我也说不清是为什么，但我就是知道他们会飞走！」

"I just thought they did," Curly broke in excitedly. "I don't know how it is, but I just thought they did!"

「噢，温迪，」图图斯叫道，「迷途的孩子里有一个叫图图斯的吗？」

"O Wendy," cried Tootles, "was one of the lost children called Tootles?"

「是的，有。」

"Yes, he was."

「我出现在故事里了。万岁，尼布斯，我出现在故事里了！」

"I am in a story. Hurrah, I am in a story, Nibs."

「嘘。现在我要你们设身处地，想想那对可怜的父母，他们所有的孩子都飞走了，该是多么难过。」

"Hush. Now I want you to consider the feelings of the unhappy parents with all their children flown away."

「哦！」他们一齐呻吟道，尽管他们其实根本没有认真去体会那对不幸父母的感受。

"Oo!" they all moaned, though they were not really considering the feelings of the unhappy parents one jot.

「想想那些空荡荡的床！」

"Think of the empty beds!"

「哦！」

"Oo!"

「真的好悲伤啊，」第一个双胞胎欢快地说。

"It's awfully sad," the first twin said cheerfully.

「我不知道这个故事怎么可能有个快乐的结局，」第二个双胞胎说。「你呢，尼布斯？」

"I don't see how it can have a happy ending," said the second twin. "Do you, Nibs?"

「我紧张得要命。」

"I'm frightfully anxious."

「如果你们知道母爱有多么伟大，」温迪得意地告诉他们，「你们就不会害怕了。」她现在说到了彼得最讨厌的那个部分。

"If you knew how great is a mother's love," Wendy told them triumphantly, "you would have no fear." She had now come to the part that Peter hated.

「我就是喜欢母爱，」图图斯说，一边用枕头打了尼布斯一下。「你喜欢母爱吗，尼布斯？」

"I do like a mother's love," said Tootles, hitting Nibs with a pillow. "Do you like a mother's love, Nibs?"

「我当然喜欢，」尼布斯说，一边还手打了回去。

"I do just," said Nibs, hitting back.
