1、Chapter 1. PETER BREAKS THROUGH(1)All children, except one, grow up. They soon know that they will grow up, and the way Wendy knew was this. One day when she was two years old she was playing in a garden, and she plucked another flower and ran with it to her mother. I suppose she must have looked ra

2、ther delightful, for Mrs. Darling put her hand to her heart and cried, Oh, why cant you remain like this for ever! This was all that passed between them on the subject, but henceforth Wendy knew that she must grow up. You always know after you are two. Two is the beginning of the end.Of course they

3、lived at 14 their house number on their street, and until Wendy came her mother was the chief one. She was a lovely lady, with a romantic mind and such a sweet mocking mouth. Her romantic mind was like the tiny boxes, one within the other, that come from the puzzling East, however many you discover

4、there is always one more; and her sweet mocking mouth had one kiss on it that Wendy could never get, though there it was, perfectly conspicuous in the right-hand corner.The way Mr. Darling won her was this: the many gentlemen who had been boys when she was a girl discovered simultaneously that they

5、loved her, and they all ran to her house to propose to her except Mr. Darling, who took a cab and nipped in first, and so he got her. He got all of her, except the innermost box and the kiss. He never knew about the box, and in time he gave up trying for the kiss. Wendy thought Napoleon could have g

6、ot it, but I can picture him trying, and then going off in a passion, slamming the door.Mr.Darling used to boast to Wendy that her mother not only loved him but respected him.He was one of those deep ones who know about stocks and shares.Of course no one really knows, but he quite seemed to know, an

7、d he often said stocks were up and shares were down in a way that would have made any woman respect him.Mrs. Darling was married in white, and at first she kept the books perfectly, almost gleefully, as if it were a game, not so much as a Brussels sprout was missing; but by and by whole cauliflowers

8、 dropped out, and instead of them there were pictures of babies without faces. She drew them when she should have been totting up. They were Mrs. Darlings guesses.Wendy came first, then John, then Michael.For a week or two after Wendy came it was doubtful whether they would be able to keep her, as s

9、he was another mouth to feed. Mr. Darling was frightfully proud of her, but he was very honourable, and he sat on the edge of Mrs. Darlings bed, holding her hand and calculating expenses, while she looked at him imploringly. She wanted to risk it, come what might, but that was not his way; his way w

10、as with a pencil and a piece of paper, and if she confused him with suggestions he had to begin at the beginning again.Now dont interrupt, he would beg of her. I have one pound seventeen here, and two and six at the office; I can cut off my coffee at the office, say ten shillings, making two nine an

15、磨，她那個小樣兒一定是怪討人喜歡的，因為，達林太太把手按著胸口，大聲說：“要是你老是這么大該多好呵！”事情的經(jīng)過就是這樣?？墒?，打那以后，溫迪就明白了，她終歸是要長大的。人一過兩歲就總會知道這一點的。兩歲，是個結束，也是個起點。當然羅，他們是住在門牌十四號的那所宅子里，在溫迪來到世上以前，媽媽自然是家中主要人物。她是個招人喜歡的太太，一腦子的幻想；還有一張?zhí)鹛鸬?、喜歡逗弄人的嘴。她那愛幻想的腦子，就像從神奇的東方來的那些小盒子，一個套一個，不管你打開了多少，里面總還藏著一個。她那張?zhí)鹛鸬摹⒍号说淖?，老是掛著一個溫迪得不到的吻，可那吻明明就在那兒，就在右邊的嘴角上掛著。達林先生是這樣贏得他太太

16、的：她還是個女孩的時候，周圍有好些男孩，他們長成大人以后，忽然一齊發(fā)現(xiàn)他們愛上了她，于是他們都跑著擁進她家向她求婚；只有達林先生的做法不同，他雇了一輛馬車，搶在他們頭里來到她家里，于是就贏得了她。達林先生得到了她的一切，只是沒有得到她那些小盒子最里面的一只和那個吻。那只小盒子他從來也不知道，那個吻他漸漸地也不再想去求得了。溫迪心想，興許拿破侖能得到那個吻，不過據(jù)我估摸，拿破侖必定試圖求吻來著，可是過后卻怒氣沖沖地甩門而去。達林先生時常向溫迪夸口說，她媽媽不光愛他，而且敬重他。他是一個學問高深的人，懂得股票和紅利什么的。當然啦，這些事誰也搞不清，可達林先生像是挺懂行的，他老是說，股票上漲了，紅利

17、下跌了。他說得那么頭頭是道，就像隨便哪個女人都得佩服他。達林太太結婚時，穿一身雪白的嫁衣。起初，她把家用賬記得一絲不茍，甚至很開心，像玩游戲一樣，連一個小菜芽都不漏記?？墒菨u漸地，整個整個的大菜花都漏掉了，賬本上出現(xiàn)了一些沒有面孔的小娃娃的圖像。在她應該結賬的地方，她畫上了這些小娃娃。她估摸他們要來了。第一個來的是溫迪，接著是約翰，隨后是邁克爾。溫迪出生后一兩個星期，父母親不知道能不能養(yǎng)活她，因為又添一張吃飯的嘴。達林先生有了溫迪自然是得意非常，可他是個實實在在的人，他坐在達林太太的床沿上，握著她的手一筆一筆給她算開銷賬。達林太太帶著央告的神情望著他。她想，不管怎么著也得冒一冒風險看，可達林先

18、生的做法不是這樣的。他的做法是拿來一支鉛筆一張紙算細賬。要是達林太大提意見攪亂了他，他又得從頭算起。“好了，別插嘴了?！彼肭笳f，“我這兒有一鎊十七先令，在辦公室還有兩先令六便士；辦公室的咖啡我可以取消，就算省下十先令吧，就有兩鎊九先令六便士。加上你的十八先令三便士，合計三鎊九先令七便士，我的存折上還有五鎊，總共八鎊九先令七便士是誰在那兒動？八九七，小數(shù)點進位七別說話，我親愛的還有你借給找上門來的那個人的一鎊錢安靜點，乖乖小數(shù)點進位，乖乖瞧，到底讓你給攪亂了我剛才是說九九七來著？對了，我說的是九九七；問題是，我們靠這個九九七，能不能試試看對付它一年？”“我們當然能，喬治。”達林太太嚷道。她當然

19、是偏袒溫迪的，可達林先生是兩人中更有能耐的一個?！皠e忘了腮腺炎，”達林先生幾乎帶點威脅地警告她，接著又算下去，“腮腺炎我算它一鎊，不過我敢說，更大的可能要花三十先令別說話麻疹一鎊五先令，德國麻疹半個幾尼，加起來是兩鎊十五先令六便士別搖手百日咳，算十五先令。”他繼續(xù)算下去，每次算出的結果都不一樣。不過最后溫迪總算熬了過來，腮腺炎減到了十二先令六便士，兩種麻疹并作一次處理。約翰生下時，也遇到同樣的風波，邁克爾遇到的險情更大。不過他們兩個到底都還是留下來養(yǎng)活了，不久你就會看見姐弟三個排成一行，由保姆陪伴著，到福爾薩姆小姐的幼兒園上學去了Chapter 1.

36、t.Wetoohavebeenthere;wecanstillhearthesoundofthesurf,thoughweshalllandnomore.達林太大是安于現(xiàn)狀的，達林先生卻喜歡事事都向左鄰右舍看齊；所以，當然他們也得請一位保姆。由于孩子們喝的牛奶太多，他們很窮，所以，他們家的保姆只是一只嚴肅莊重的紐芬蘭大狗，名叫娜娜。在達林夫婦雇用她以前，這狗本沒有固定的主人，不過她總是把孩子看得很重的。達林一家是在肯辛頓公園里和她結識的。她閑來無事去那兒游逛，把頭伸進搖籃車窺望，那些粗心大意的保姆總是討厭她；因為她老是跟著她們回家，向她們的主人告狀。她果然成了一位不可多得的好保姆。給孩子洗澡時

37、，她是多么認真一絲不茍啊。夜里不管什么時候，她看管的孩子只要有一個輕輕地哭一聲，她就一躍而起。狗舍當然是設在育兒室里。她天生有一種聰明，知道什么樣的咳嗽是不可怠慢的，什么時候該用一只襪子圍著脖子。她從來都相信老式的治療方法，比如用大黃葉；聽到那些什么細菌之類的新名詞，她總是用鼻子不屑地哼一聲。你若是看到她護送孩子上學時那種合乎禮儀的情景，真會大長見識。當孩子們規(guī)規(guī)矩矩時，她就安詳?shù)刈咴谒麄兩磉?；要是他們亂跑亂動，她就把他們推進行列。在約翰踢足球的日子，她從不忘帶著他的線衣；天要下雨的時候，她總是把傘銜在嘴里。福爾薩姆的幼兒園里，有一間地下室，保姆們就等候在那里。她們坐在長凳上，而娜娜是伏臥在地

38、板上，不過這是唯一的不同之處。她們認為她社會地位比她們低賤，裝作沒把她放在眼里的樣子；其實，娜娜才瞧不起她們那種無聊的閑聊呢。她很不高興達林太太的朋友們來育兒室看望，可要是她們真的來了，她就先扯下邁克爾的圍裙，給他換上那件帶藍穗子的，把溫迪的衣裙撫平，匆匆梳理一下約翰的頭發(fā)。沒有一個育兒室管理得比這個更井井有條了，這一點達林先生不是不知道，不過他有時還是不免心里嘀咕，生怕街坊鄰居們會背地里笑話他。他不能不考慮他在城里的職位。娜娜還在另一個方面使達林先生不安，他有時覺得娜娜不大佩服他?！拔抑?，她可佩服你啦，喬治?！边_林太太向他擔保說，然后就示意孩子們要特別敬重父親。接著，就跳起了歡快的舞。他們

39、唯一的另一位女仆莉莎，有時也被允許參加跳舞。莉莎穿著長裙，戴著女傭人的布帽，顯得那么矮小，雖說開始雇用的時候，她一口咬定她早就過十歲了。小家伙們多快活呀！最快活的是達林太太，她踮起腳尖發(fā)狂般地飛旋，你能看到的只是她的那個吻。這時要是你撲了過去，定能得到那一吻。再也沒有比他們更單純、更快樂的家庭了，直到彼得潘來臨。達林太太第一次知道彼得，是在她清理孩子們的心思的時候。凡是好媽媽，晚上都有一個習慣，就是在孩子們睡著以后，搜檢他們的心思，使白天弄亂了的什物各就各位，為明天早晨把一切料理停當。假如你能醒著（不過你當然不能），你就能看見你媽媽做這些事；你會發(fā)覺，留心地觀看她是很有趣的。那就和整理抽屜差不

40、多。我估摸，你會看見她跪在那兒，很有興味地察看里面的東西，納悶這樣東西不知你是打哪兒揀到的；發(fā)現(xiàn)有些是可愛的，有些是不那么可愛的。把一件東西貼在她臉上，像捧著一只逗人的小貓；把另一件東西趕快收藏起來，不讓人看見。你清早醒來時，臨睡時揣著的那些頑皮念頭和壞脾氣都給疊得小小的，壓在你心思的底層。而在上面，平平整整擺著你的那些美好念頭，等你去穿戴打扮起來。我不知道你是不是見過人的心思的地圖。醫(yī)生有時畫你身上別的部分的地圖，你自己的地圖會是特別有趣的。可是，要是你碰巧看到他們畫一張孩子的心思地圖，你就會看到，那不光是雜亂無章，而且總是繞著圈兒的。那是些曲曲折折的線條，就像你的體溫表格，這大概就是島上的

41、道路了。因為永無鄉(xiāng)多少就像是一個海島。到處撒著一塊塊驚人的顏色。海面上露著珊瑚礁，漂著輕快的船。島上住著野蠻人；還有荒涼的野獸洞穴；有小土神，他們多半是些裁縫；有河流穿過的巖洞；有王子和他的六個哥哥；有一間快要坍塌的茅屋；還有一位長著鷹鉤鼻子的小老太太。若是只有這些，這張地圖倒也不難畫。但是還有呢，第一天上學校，宗教，父親，圓水池，針線活，謀殺案，絞刑，與格動詞，吃巧克力布丁的日子，穿背帶褲，數(shù)到九十九，自己拔牙獎給三便士，等等。這些若不是島上的一部分，那就是畫在另一張畫上的了；總之，全都是雜亂無章的。尤其是因為，沒有一件東西是靜止不動的。當然，各人的永無鄉(xiāng)又大不一樣，例如，約翰的永無鄉(xiāng)里有一

42、個湖泊，湖上飛著許多紅鶴，約翰拿箭射它們。邁克爾呢，年紀很小，他有一只紅鶴，上面飛著許多湖泊。約翰住在一只翻扣在沙灘上的船里，邁克爾住在一個印第安人的皮棚里，溫迪住在一間用樹葉巧妙地縫成的屋子里。約翰沒有親友，邁克爾在夜晚有親友，溫迪有一只被父母遺棄的小狼寶寶。不過總的說來，他們的永無鄉(xiāng)都像一家人似的彼此相像。要是擺成一排，你會看到它們的五官面目大同小異。在這些神奇的海灘上，游戲的孩子們總是駕著油布小船靠岸登陸。那地方，我們其實也到過，我們?nèi)缃襁€能聽到浪濤拍岸的聲音，雖然我們不再上岸。Chapter 1.
