Peter Pan — Page 7
然后，"他用那种习惯于发号施令的人特有的简短而尖锐的语气继续说道，"叮铃铛会带你们渡海。尼布斯，去叫醒她。"
"Then," he continued, in the short sharp voice of one accustomed to be obeyed, "Tinker Bell will take you across the sea. Wake her, Nibs."
尼布斯敲了两次门才得到回应，尽管叮铃铛其实已经坐在床上偷听了好一阵子。
Nibs had to knock twice before he got an answer, though Tink had really been sitting up in bed listening for some time.
"你是谁？你怎么敢？走开，"她喊道。
"Who are you? How dare you? Go away," she cried.
"叮铃铛，你得起床了，"尼布斯喊道，"带温蒂去旅行。"
"You are to get up, Tink," Nibs called, "and take Wendy on a journey."
当然，叮铃铛听说温蒂要走时心里十分高兴，但她铁了心不愿做她的信使，并用更加无礼的话直说了出来。然后她假装又睡着了。
Of course Tink had been delighted to hear that Wendy was going; but she was jolly well determined not to be her courier, and she said so in still more offensive language. Then she pretended to be asleep again.
"她说她不去！"尼布斯惊呼道，对这种目无法纪的行为感到震惊，彼得随即严肃地朝这位小姐的房间走去。
"She says she won't!" Nibs exclaimed, aghast at such insubordination, whereupon Peter went sternly toward the young lady's chamber.
"叮铃铛，"他厉声道，"如果你不马上起床穿衣，我就拉开帘子，到时候大家都能看见你穿着睡衣的样子。"
"Tink," he rapped out, "if you don't get up and dress at once I will open the curtains, and then we shall all see you in your negligée."
这句话让她一跃跳到地板上。"谁说我没在起床？"她喊道。
This made her leap to the floor. "Who said I wasn't getting up?" she cried.
与此同时，男孩们正满怀惆怅地凝视着温蒂——此时她已经和约翰、迈克尔一同准备好出发了。这时他们心情沮丧，不仅仅是因为即将失去她，也因为他们觉得她是要去某个美好的地方，而他们却没有受到邀请。新奇的事物像往常一样在向他们招手。
In the meantime the boys were gazing very forlornly at Wendy, now equipped with John and Michael for the journey. By this time they were dejected, not merely because they were about to lose her, but also because they felt that she was going off to something nice to which they had not been invited. Novelty was beckoning to them as usual.
温蒂把他们往高尚的情感上想，心软了。
Crediting them with a nobler feeling Wendy melted.
