第七章温迪·伯德孩子们不知道海盗们已经找到了他们的藏身之处，他们等了一会儿

emerged from their underground cave. Suddenly Nibs saw something in the sky. "Look at that white bird," he said. "It sounds as if it is saying, Poor Wendy! It must be a Wendy bird." It wasn't actually a bird that Nibs saw at all, but poor Wendy herself, flying up above. Now the boys heard another sound. It was the voice of Tinker Bell, shrill and jealous. She was no longer pretending to be nice to Wendy, but was pinching her and trying to make her fall. "Peter wants you to shoot this white bird," Tink called down to the boys. "Quick," the boys cried. "Bows and arrows!" Tootles excitedly fitted an arrow to his bow. "Get out of the way, Tink," he shouted. He fired, and Wendy fluttered to the ground with an arrow in her breast. "I shot the Wendy bird!" Tootles bragged. "Peter will be so proud of me!" "Silly donkey," Tinker Bell clinked, laughing

从他们的地下洞穴里出来。 突然，尼布斯看到天空中有什么东西。 “看那只白色的鸟，”他说。 “它好像在说，可怜的温迪！一定是一只叫温迪的鸟。” 尼布斯看到的其实根本不是一只鸟，而是可怜的温迪自己，在上面飞着。 现在男孩们听到了另一个声音。 那是小叮当的声音，尖利而又嫉妒。 她不再假装对温迪好，而是掐她，想让她摔倒。 “彼得要你们射这只白色的鸟。”叮叮铃朝下面的孩子们喊道。 “快，”孩子们叫道。“弓箭！”图图兴奋地在弓上安了一支箭。 “让开，叮叮铃。”他喊道。 他开了一枪，温迪扑扇着翅膀落在地上，胸前插着一支箭。 “我射中了温迪鸟！”则吹嘘。 “彼得会为我感到骄傲的！”“傻驴。”小叮当叮当地笑着说

at her trick before going to hide. She knew she would be in trouble for urging poor Tootles to shoot Wendy. Slightly frowned as he looked at Wendy. "That is no bird," he said. "I think it is a lady." "A lady?" Tootles replied nervously. "Peter was bringing a lady to take care of us, and you've gone and killed her!" Curly said. Tootles took a deep, sad breath. "I did it. I shot the Wendy-lady," he said quietly, and turned to leave the group. Just then the boys heard a crowing sound up above. It was Peter's signal. He was back! They gathered around Wendy so that Peter would not see her. He dropped to the ground in front of them, but no one said a word. "Why so quiet, boys?" Peter asked. But still none of the boys spoke. "Never mind," Peter said. "I have news. I've brought you back a mother! You may even have seen her already. I think she was flying this

看她的把戏，然后躲起来。 她知道，她怂恿可怜的图图射杀温迪，会惹上麻烦的。 他看着温迪，微微皱起眉头。 “那不是鸟，”他说。 “我想是一位女士。”“夫人?”图图紧张地回答。 “彼得带了一位女士来照顾我们，而你却把她杀了！”花说。 图图悲伤地深深地吸了一口气。 “我做到了。我打死了温迪小姐。”他平静地说，转身离开了人群。 就在这时，男孩们听到了上面的叫声。 这是彼得的信号。他回来了！他们围着温迪，不让彼得看见她。 他在他们面前倒在地上，但没有人说一句话。 “为什么这么安静，孩子们？”彼得问。 但仍然没有一个男孩说话。 “没关系。”彼得说。“我有消息。 我给你带回了一位母亲！你甚至可能已经见过她了。 我觉得她在开这个

way." Tootles cleared his throat. "Boys," he said bravely, "step aside." The boys obeyed, revealing Wendy's body. Peter bent, took the arrow from Wendy's heart, and turned to face his band of boys. "Whose arrow is this?" he asked sternly. "Mine, Peter," Tootles replied. Angrily, Peter raised the arrow, prepared to hit Tootles with it. But he couldn't do it. At just that moment, Nibs saw Wendy move. "The Wendy-lady!" he cried. "She moved her arm!" Peter bent over Wendy again and saw the acorn he had given to her when she'd asked for a kiss. It was on a string around her neck. The arrow had hit the acorn and saved her life! "Hurry up and get better," he said, "so I can introduce you to the boys and the mermaids." From her hiding spot up above, Tink sighed loudly.

方式。”图图清了清嗓子。 “孩子们，”他勇敢地说，“靠边站。” 孩子们照做了，把温迪的尸体露出来。 彼得弯下腰，从温迪的心上取下了箭，转过身来面对他的孩子们。 “这是谁的箭？”他严厉地问。 “我的，彼得。”图图回答。 彼得生气地举起箭，准备向图图射去。 但他做不到。就在这时，尼布斯看见温迪动了一下。 “温迪小姐！” “她动了她的胳膊！”彼得又向温迪弯下腰，看见了温迪要求他吻他时他给她的那颗橡子。 她脖子上挂着一根绳子。 箭射中了橡子，救了她的命！“快点好起来，”他说，“这样我就可以把你介绍给男孩们和美人鱼了。” 叮叮铃从她在上面的藏身之处大声叹了口气。

"Listen to Tink crying because the Wendy-lady is alive," Curly said. The boys told Peter about her crime. "We are not friends anymore, Tink," Peter cried. "Go away and never come back!" Frantically, Tinker Bell flew onto Peter's shoulder and begged his forgiveness, but he brushed her off. Lying on the ground, Wendy stirred slightly. She was waking up. "I'll be all right," she said wearily. "You don't have to banish her." "Well, all right," Peter told Tinker Bell. "You can come back, but not for a whole week." You would think Tinker Bell would be grateful to Wendy for defending her, but Wendy's generosity only made Tink want to pinch her even more. Wendy, in the meantime, was so tired and sore from her hard fall that she rolled onto her side and fell asleep. "I have an idea," Peter said. "Let's build

“听叮当的哭声，因为温迪夫人还活着，”卷毛说。 男孩们把她的罪行告诉了彼得。 “我们不再是朋友了，叮叮铃。”彼得叫道。 “走开，永远不要回来！”叮叮铃疯狂地飞到彼得的肩膀上，请求他的原谅，但彼得把她推开了。 温迪躺在地上，身子微微动了动。 她醒过来了。“我会没事的，”她疲惫地说。 “你不必驱逐她。” “好吧，好吧。”彼得对小叮当说。 “你可以回来，但要等整整一个星期。” 你会认为小叮当会感激温迪保护她，但是温迪的慷慨只会让小叮当更想捏她。 与此同时，温迪又累又疼，她翻了个身，睡着了。 “我有个主意，”彼得说。 “让我们构建

Wendy a house." The boys were thrilled; they loved to build. They were incredibly quick carpenters, too, scurrying around for firewood, branches, and twigs, and looking for soft cushiony flowers to use for her bedding. Just then John and Michael dropped from the sky. They had been sleep-flying, but they woke up as soon as they hit the ground. "Mama?" Michael cried, rubbing his eyes. "Nana?" "Where are we?" John asked. "Are we dreaming?" Finally, the boys spotted Peter. "Oh, hello," Peter said distractedly. He had forgotten all about them. Using his feet as a ruler, he bent to measure Wendy to see how big her new house should be. "Come on," he told her brothers. "We are building a house for Wendy, and you have to help." "I don't see why Wendy should get her own

温迪有一所房子。”男孩们激动不已；他们喜欢建造。 他们也是非常敏捷的木匠，跑来跑去找柴火、树枝和细枝，寻找柔软的花朵来做她的床上用品。 就在这时，约翰和迈克尔从天上掉了下来。 他们一直在睡梦中飞行，但一落地就醒了。 “妈妈?”迈克尔揉着眼睛叫道。 “娜娜?”“我们在哪儿？”约翰问道。 “我们在做梦吗？”最后，男孩们发现了彼得。 “哦，你好。”彼得心烦意乱地说。 他把他们全忘了。 他用脚当尺子，弯下腰给温迪量，看看她的新房子应该有多大。 “走吧，”他对她的哥哥们说。 “我们正在给温迪盖房子，你得帮忙。” “我不明白温迪为什么要买她自己的
