Sylvis L. Davies(Mother): You should have been in bed half an hour ago, Yound Men.
I am afraid i've grown hopelessly too lax in my own discipline.
(孩子们,你们半小时之前就应该上床休息了。我怕我平时太纵容他们了。)
J.M. Barrie: Nonesense, young boys should never be sent to bed. They always wake up a day older.
And then before you know it, they are grown.
(不要这样说,孩子们不该被强迫去睡觉。当他们醒来的时候又老了一天。
忽然之间,你就发现他们已经长大了。)
Peter D.: What did you bring me over here for? it is absurb. it is JUST a dog.
(带我来这里干什么?荒谬,这只是一只狗)
J.M. Barrie: Just a dog? JUST? Porthos, don't listen to him. (walk near Peter) Porthos dreams of being
a bear. And you want to dash those dreams by saying "he's just a dog"? What a horrible
candle-snuffing word! That's like saying "He can't climb that moutain, he's just a man"
Or " That's not a diamond, it's just a rock." Just?
(只是一只狗?只是?porthos,不要听他说。Porthos一直想成为一只熊。然后你却无情地说
“他只是一只狗”,把他的梦想打得支离破碎。这是多么伤心、扼腕的话语啊。那就像是说,
“他不能翻越那座山,他只是一个人”或者“那不是钻石,只是一颗石头。” 只是?)
Peter D.: Fine then, Turn him into a bear, if you can.
(好啊,你能的话,就把它变成熊啊!)
Peter D.: What did you and Mother decide to tell us this time? "It's only a chest cold?"
(这一次有你和妈妈有打算要告诉我们什么?“只是着凉了”吗?)
J.M. Barrie: We havn't decided anything.
