CHAPTER 3 Acorn Kisses and Jealous Fairies The night-lights were still burning when Mr.

第三章橡子之吻和嫉妒的仙女夜灯还亮着。

and Mrs. Darling left the house. But even a night -light gets tired sometimes. It is an awful lot of work, as you might imagine, trying to stay bright and shiny all the time. Wendy's light went out first. It yawned and, yawns being contagious, the other two lights promptly yawned as well. Then, before any of the lights could close their mouths, all three went out from the resulting breeze. The children's room, however, was still not dark. A strange blinking glow came from within a water jug. Inside was a fairy, no bigger than your hand. Her name was Tinker Bell, and she was in the jug looking for Peter's shadow. Peter appeared next. "Tink?" he called softly. "Is my shadow in that jug?" "No," Tink replied, emerging. When Tinker Bell spoke, it sounded like bells. It was a special fairy language that only Peter and his boys could understand. Tink told Peter that she had just spotted his

达林太太离开了房子。 但即使是夜灯有时也会累。 你可以想象，这是一项非常繁重的工作，要一直保持明亮和闪亮。 温迪的灯先灭了。 它打了个哈欠，哈欠是会传染的，另外两个灯也立刻打了个哈欠。 然后，还没等任何一盏灯合上嘴，三盏灯就被由此产生的微风吹灭了。 然而，孩子们的房间还不黑。 一个水罐里发出奇怪的闪光。 里面是一个仙女，不比你的手大。 她的名字叫小叮当，她在罐子里寻找彼得的影子。 彼得接着出现了。“叮叮当？”他轻声叫道。 “我的影子在罐子里吗？”“不，”叮叮铃回答说，走了出来。 当小叮当说话的时候，声音听起来像钟声。 这是一种特殊的精灵语言，只有彼得和他的孩子们能听懂。 叮叮铃告诉彼得，她刚刚发现了他的猫

shadow in the chest of drawers. Peter threw open the drawers, piling the clothes in a heap on the floor, and found his shadow. Grabbing it, he tried to slip it back on like a pair of pants, but it would not fit. He tried to put it on like a hat, but it jumped off his head. His shadow, it seemed, did not want him back! Peter sat on the floor and started to cry. His cries woke Wendy, and she sat up in bed.

五斗橱里的影子。 彼得打开抽屉，把衣服堆在地板上，找到了他的影子。 他抓住它，想把它像裤子一样穿回去，但它不合适。 他想把它像帽子一样戴上，但它从他的头上跳了下来。 他的影子，似乎，不想让他回来！彼得坐在地板上哭了起来。 他的哭声惊醒了温迪，她从床上坐起来。

"Excuse me," she asked politely. "Who are

“对不起，”她礼貌地问道。 “是谁

you?" "I am Peter Pan," he said. "Who are you?" "My name is Wendy Darling. I live here." "I live second to the right," said Peter, "and then straight on until morning." "That's a funny address," Wendy said." "I don't see what's so funny about it," Peter huffed, embarrassed. "Well, what do people write on the envelope when they send you letters?" Wendy asked. "No one sends me letters," Peter said in a low voice. Now he was not only embarrassed, but sad, too, about his lack of letters. "When your mother gets letters?" Wendy tried weakly. "Oh, I don't have a mother," Peter said in a normal voice. The funny address and the lack of letters had bothered him briefly, but mothers, he felt, were overrated. For Wendy, however, a funny address, no letters, and no mother seemed incredibly sad.

你呢?”“我是彼得·潘，”他说。 “你是谁？”“我叫温迪·达林。 我住在这里。”“我住在右边第二个房间，”彼得说，“然后一直往前走，直到天亮。” “这地址真有趣，”温迪说。 “我不明白这有什么好笑的。”彼得生气了，尴尬地说。 “嗯，人们给你写信时在信封上写些什么？”温迪问。 “没有人给我写信。”彼得低声说。 现在他不仅感到尴尬，而且为自己没有信感到难过。 “当你妈妈收到信的时候？”温迪无力地试了试。 “哦，我没有妈妈。”彼得用正常的声音说。 奇怪的地址和缺少信件曾短暂地困扰过他，但他觉得母亲们被高估了。 然而，对温迪来说，一个奇怪的地址，没有信，没有母亲，似乎令人难以置信地悲伤。

"Oh, Peter, no wonder you were crying!" she said. She got out of bed and ran to hug him. "I wasn't crying about not having a mother," he huffed. "I was crying because I can't get my shadow back on. Do you have any glue?" Wendy smiled. How exactly like a boy. "You can't glue it back on, silly. It must be sewn on. I will do it for you." Feeling very important, Wendy got her sewing kit. Within minutes, the shadow was back where it belonged, even if it was a bit wrinkly. Wendy wondered briefly whether she should have ironed it first. "Yippee!" Peter cried, twirling in front of the mirror. "Look at me and my handsome shadow!" "A thank -you might be nice," Wendy suggested. "For what?" Peter asked. This made Wendy so mad that she got back into bed and covered her face with the blankets until Peter apologized.

“哦，彼得，难怪你哭了！”她说。 她下了床，跑过去拥抱他。 “我不是因为没有妈妈而哭，”他生气地说。 “我哭了，因为我不能把我的影子重新穿上。 你有胶水吗？”温迪笑了。 真像个男孩。“你不能把它粘回去，傻瓜。 它必须缝上去。我会为你做的。” 温蒂觉得自己很重要，拿起了针线包。 几分钟之内，影子就回到了它原来的位置，尽管它有点皱。 温迪一时不知道该不该先把它熨一下。 “好啊! !”彼得喊道，在镜子前打转。 “看看我和我英俊的影子！”“一句谢谢你的话也许不错。”温迪建议道。 “为了什么?”彼得问。这让温迪非常生气，她回到床上，用毯子蒙住脸，直到彼得道歉。
