他们在楼下等候，给温迪时间向大人解释他们的情况；等他们数到五百，就上楼了。
They were waiting below to give Wendy time to explain about them; and when they had counted five hundred they went up.

他们摘下帽子，排成一排站在达林太太面前，心里希望自己没穿着海盗的衣服。
They stood in a row in front of Mrs. Darling, with their hats off, and wishing they were not wearing their pirate clothes.
他们一言不发，但眼神恳求她收留他们。
They said nothing, but their eyes asked her to have them.
他们本也该看看达林先生，但他们把他忘了。
They ought to have looked at Mr. Darling also, but they forgot about him.
达林太太当然立刻说愿意收留他们；但达林先生却莫名地愁眉苦脸，他们看出他觉得六个孩子实在太多了。
Of course Mrs. Darling said at once that she would have them; but Mr. Darling was curiously depressed, and they saw that he considered six a rather large number.
他对温迪说："我得说，你做事可真不留余地，"
"I must say," he said to Wendy, "that you don't do things by halves,"
这句带着几分不情愿的话，双胞胎以为是冲着他们说的。
a grudging remark which the twins thought was pointed at them.
大双胞胎是个自尊心强的孩子，他涨红着脸问道："您是不是觉得我们会太难管？先生？如果是这样，我们可以走。"
The first twin was the proud one, and he asked, flushing, "Do you think we should be too much of a handful, sir? Because, if so, we can go away."
"爸爸！"温迪惊呼道；然而乌云仍笼罩在他脸上。
"Father!" Wendy cried, shocked; but still the cloud was on him.
他知道自己的表现很不得体，却也无可奈何。
He knew he was behaving unworthily, but he could not help it.
"我们可以蜷缩在一起睡，"尼布斯说。
"We could lie doubled up," said Nibs.
"我一直都是自己给他们剪头发的，"温迪说。
"I always cut their hair myself," said Wendy.
"乔治！"达林太太叫道，看到自己亲爱的人在孩子们面前显得如此失态，她心里很难受。
"George!" Mrs. Darling exclaimed, pained to see her dear one showing himself in such an unfavourable light.
