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.

　　(孩子們，你們半小時(shí)之前就應(yīng)該上床休息了。我怕我平時(shí)太縱容他們了。）

　　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.

　　(不要這樣說(shuō)，孩子們不該被強(qiáng)迫去睡覺(jué)。當(dāng)他們醒來(lái)的時(shí)候又老了一天。

　　忽然之間，你就發(fā)現(xiàn)他們已經(jīng)長(zhǎng)大了。)

　　Peter D.: What did you bring me over here for? it is absurb. it is JUST a dog.

　　(帶我來(lái)這里干什么？荒謬，這只是一只狗）

　　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，不要聽(tīng)他說(shuō)。Porthos一直想成為一只熊。然后你卻無(wú)情地說(shuō)

　　“他只是一只狗”，把他的夢(mèng)想打得支離破碎。這是多么傷心、扼腕的話語(yǔ)啊。那就像是說(shuō)，

　　“他不能翻越那座山，他只是一個(gè)人”或者“那不是鉆石，只是一顆石頭。” 只是？）

　　Peter D.: Fine then, Turn him into a bear, if you can.

　　（好啊，你能的話，就把它變成熊啊！）

　　Peter D.: What did you and Mother decide to tell us this time? "It's only a chest cold?"

　　（這一次有你和媽媽有打算要告訴我們什么？“只是著涼了”嗎？）

　　J.M. Barrie: We havn't decided anything.
