Peter Pan — Page 6
起初，娜娜把他们的脚绑在床柱上，这样他们晚上就不会飞走了；
At first Nana tied their feet to the bed-posts so that they should not fly away in the night;
他们白天的消遣之一是假装从公共汽车上摔下来；
and one of their diversions by day was to pretend to fall off buses;
但渐渐地，他们不再在床上挣扎绳索，也发现松开公共汽车会摔疼自己。
but by and by they ceased to tug at their bonds in bed, and found that they hurt themselves when they let go of the bus.
慢慢地，他们甚至追不上被风吹走的帽子了。
In time they could not even fly after their hats.
他们称之为缺乏练习；但真正的原因是他们不再相信了。
Want of practice, they called it; but what it really meant was that they no longer believed.
迈克尔比其他男孩相信得更久，尽管他们都嘲笑他；
Michael believed longer than the other boys, though they jeered at him;
所以在第一年结束时，彼得来接温迪的时候，迈克尔也在场。
so he was with Wendy when Peter came for her at the end of the first year.
她穿着那件在梦幻岛用树叶和浆果编织成的连衣裙，和彼得一起飞走了，
She flew away with Peter in the frock she had woven from leaves and berries in the Neverland,
她唯一担心的是他可能会注意到裙子变短了多少；但他根本没注意到，因为他有太多关于自己的事要说。
and her one fear was that he might notice how short it had become; but he never noticed, he had so much to say about himself.
她曾期待着与他畅谈往昔，但新的冒险已将旧的冒险从他的记忆中挤走了。
She had looked forward to thrilling talks with him about old times, but new adventures had crowded the old ones from his mind.
当她提到那位大敌时，彼得饶有兴趣地问道："虎克船长是谁？"
"Who is Captain Hook?" he asked with interest when she spoke of the arch enemy.
她惊讶地问道："你不记得了吗？你杀了他，救了我们大家的性命！"
"Don't you remember," she asked, amazed, "how you killed him and saved all our lives?"
他漫不经心地回答说："我杀死他们之后就忘了。"
"I forget them after I kill them," he replied carelessly.
当她怀着一丝希望说小叮当会很高兴见到她时，他却说："小叮当是谁？"
When she expressed a doubtful hope that Tinker Bell would be glad to see her he said, "Who is Tinker Bell?"
