Then for long he remained brooding;his hat of ill omen on the sward,
他思索了好半晌,把他那顶不吉样的帽子放在草地上,
so that any gentle breeze which had arisen might play refreshingly through his hair.
好让吹来的一股清风轻抚他的头发。
Dark as were his thoughts his blue eyes were as soft as the periwinkle.
他的心虽黑,他的蓝眼睛却像长春花一样柔和。
Intently he listened for any sound from the nether world, but all was as silent below as above;
他屏息静听地下的动静,可是下面也和上面一样寂静无声。
the house under the ground seemed to be but one more empty tenement in the void.
地下的屋子像是一座空无一人的荒宅。
Was that boy asleep, or did he stand waiting at the foot of Slightly's tree, with his dagger in his hand?
那孩子是睡着了,还是站在斯莱特利的树根下,手里拿着刀在等他?
There was no way of knowing, save by going down. Hook let his cloak slip softly to the ground,
这是没法知道的,除非下去。胡克把他的外套轻轻地脱下放在地上,
and then biting his lips till a lewd blood stood on them, he stepped into the tree.
紧紧地咬着嘴唇,直咬得流出了污血,他踏进了树洞。
He was a brave man, but for a moment he had to stop there and wipe his brow,
他是个勇敢的人;可是,一时竟不得不停下来擦额上的汗,
which was dripping like a candle. Then, silently, he let himself go into the unknown.
他的汗像蜡烛油一样直淌。然后,他悄悄地下到这个从来不知道的地方。
He arrived unmolested at the foot of the shaft, and stood still again, biting at his breath, which had almost left him.
他平安地来到了树洞底下,又一动不动地站在那儿,几乎喘不过气来了。
As his eyes became accustomed to the dim light various objects in the home under the trees took shape;
等到他的眼睛逐渐习惯了黑暗,树下屋里的东西,才一件件看清楚;
but the only one on which his greedy gaze rested, long sought for and found at last, was the great bed.
可是他贪婪的眼光,只注视着一件东西,那是他找了很久才终于找到的,就是那张大床。
On the bed lay Peter fast asleep.
床上躺着熟睡的彼得。
Unaware of the tragedy being enacted above, Peter had continued, for a little time after the children left, to play gaily on his pipes:
彼得一点也不知道上面发生的惨事,孩子们离开后,他继续欢快地吹了一阵笛子。
no doubt rather a forlorn attempt to prove to himself that he did not care.
当然,他只是在凄惶中故意这样做,为的是证明他一点也不在乎。
Then he decided not to take his medicine, so as to grieve Wendy.
然后,他决定不吃药,为的是让温迪伤心。
Then he lay down on the bed outside the coverlet, to vex her still more;
然后.他躺在床上不盖被子,好叫温迪更加烦恼;
for she had always tucked them inside it, because you never know that you may not grow chilly at the turn of the night.
因为温迪总是把被子给他们盖得严严实实的,怕的是半夜里会着凉。
Then he nearly cried; but it struck him how indignant she would be if he laughed instead;
然后彼得几乎要哭出来。可是他忽然又想到,要是他笑,温迪没准会多么生气。
so he laughed a haughty laugh and fell asleep in the middle of it.
于是他狂傲地大笑,没笑完就睡着了。
