They would sit there in the empty nursery, recalling fondly every smallest detail of that dreadful evening.
就这样，他们坐在那间空荡荡的育儿室里，痴痴地回想着那可怕的一夜里发生的每一件小事。
It had begun so uneventfully, so precisely like a hundred other evenings,
那天晚上一开始，就像别的晚上一样，本来是平静无事的，
with Nana putting on the water for Michael's bath and carrying him to it on her back.
娜娜倒好了迈克尔的洗澡水，然后驮着他过去。
"I won't go to bed," he had shouted, like one who still believed that he had the last word on the subject,
“我不睡觉，”迈克尔喊，还以为他自己真能说了算似的，
"I won't, I won't. Nana, it isn't six o'clock yet. Oh dear, oh dear, I shan't love you any more, Nana. I tell you I won't be bathed, I won't, I won't!"
“我不嘛，我不嘛。娜娜，还不到六点呐。噢，噢，我再也不爱你了，娜娜。我告诉你我不要洗澡，我不洗嘛，我不洗嘛！”
Then Mrs. Darling had come in, wearing her white evening-gown.
达林太太走了进来，穿着她的白色夜礼服。
She had dressed early because Wendy so loved to see her in her evening-gown, with the necklace George had given her.
她早早就穿戴打扮起来了，因为温迪喜欢看她穿晚礼服的样子，她的脖子上戴着乔治送给她的项链，
She was wearing Wendy's bracelet on her arm; she had asked for the loan of it. Wendy loved to lend her bracelet to her mother.
胳臂上戴着温迪的手镯；那是她向温迪借的。温迪特喜欢把她的手镯借给妈妈戴。
She had found her two older children playing at being herself and father on the occasion of Wendy's birth, and John was saying:
达林太太看见两个大孩子正在玩游戏，假扮她和爸爸在温迪出生那天的情景。约翰正在说：
"I am happy to inform you, Mrs. Darling, that you are now a mother,"
“我很高兴地告诉你，达林太太，你现在是个母亲了。”
in just such a tone as Mr. Darling himself may have used on the real occasion.
那声调就跟达林先生一模一样。
Wendy had danced with joy, just as the real Mrs. Darling must have done.
温迪欢喜地跳起舞来，就像达林太太真那么跳过似的。
Then John was born, with the extra pomp that he conceived due to the birth of a male,
随后约翰出生了，他的表情格外得意洋洋，他认为这是因为生了个男孩。
and Michael came from his bath to ask to be born also, but John said brutally that they did not want any more.
后来，迈克尔洗完澡进来要求也生下他，可是约翰粗暴地说，他们不想再生了。
Michael had nearly cried. "Nobody wants me," he said, and of course the lady in the evening-dress could not stand that.
迈克尔差点儿哭出来。“没有人想要我，”他说；这么一来，穿晚礼服的那位太太坐不住了。
"I do," she said, "I so want a third child."
“我要，”她说，“我可想要第三个孩子啦。”
"Boy or girl?" asked Michael, not too hopefully.
“男孩还是女孩？”迈克尔问，他不放心。
"Boy."
“男孩。”
Then he had leapt into her arms.
于是，他跳进母亲的怀里。
