    CHAPTER SEVEN: Home at Last!


    At the Darling home, Mr. and Mrs. Darling and Nana are desolate.

    They always think about Wendy, John and Michael.

    They look at the three empty beds and tears come to their eyes.

    Mr. and Mrs. Darling never smile or laugh anymore.

    Mrs.Darling sits in the silent nursery and cries.

    She thinks of her children, their games and their happy voices.

    Nana tries to comfort her, but nothing can make Mrs. Darling happy.

    One night after several months something incredible happens.

    Wendy, John and Michael fly in to the nursery.

    Mrs. Darling is sitting near the fireplace.

    'Mother, Mother we're home!' says Wendy.

    Mrs. Darling turns around and sees her three dear children.

    'Is this true or is it a dream? I can't believe it!' she says.

    'Oh, Mother, we are home at last,' the children say.

    Wendy, John and Michael embrace their mother and kiss her.

    'How wonderful to see you, my dear children! How wonderful to hear your sweet voices. Oh, let me look at you!'

    She calls Mr. Darling.

    Mr. Darling is very happy and surprised.

    There is great joy in the Darling nursery tonight.

    'Mother,'says Wendy, 'Peter Pan and the Lost Boys are here too. They are waiting outside.'

    The six Lost Boys slowly enter the nursery.

    They look at Mrs. Darling and smile at her.

    'Mother, these are the Lost Boys. They haven't got a mother. Can they stay with us?'says Wendy.

    'What dear little boys!' says Mrs. Darling. 'Of course they can stay with us. And where is Peter Pan?'

    Peter enters the nursery and says, 'I am here, but I don't want to stay here. I don't want to go to school and I don't want to grow up! I want to be a young boy forever. I must return to Neverland. I am happy with the Indians and the fairies.'

    Wendy is surprised and says, 'But Peter, when will I see you again?'

    Mrs.Darling says, 'I have an idea. Wendy, you can visit Peter in Neverland every spring! You can stay there for a week.'

    'Can I really go to Neverland every spring, Mother?' asks Wendy.

    Peter looks at Mrs. Darling and asks, 'Is that a promise?'

    'Of course it is,' says Mrs. Darling.

    'Then I want spring to come quickly, 'says Peter.

    'Yes, very quickly,' says Wendy.

    'Come on, Tink! Let's fly home and wait for spring,' says Peter.

    Peter Pan and Tinker Bell fly out of the nursery window into the night sky.

    Their destination? Neverland!

    第七章:终于回家了!

    在达林家,达林夫妇和娜娜都很凄凉。
    他们总是想着温迪、约翰和迈克尔。
    他们看着那三张空床,泪水涌了出来。
    达林先生和达林先生太太再也不笑了。
    达林太太坐在寂静的育儿室里哭泣。
    她想起了她的孩子们,他们的游戏和快乐的声音。
    娜娜试图安慰她,但什么也不能使达林太太高兴。
    几个月后的一天晚上,不可思议的事情发生了。
    温迪、约翰和迈克尔飞进托儿所。
    达林太太正坐在壁炉旁边。
    “妈妈,妈妈,我们回来了!”温迪说。
    达林太太转过身来,看见了她的三个亲爱的孩子。
    “这是真的还是梦?我简直不敢相信!”她说。

    “哦,妈妈,我们终于到家了,”孩子们说。
    温迪、约翰和迈克尔拥抱着他们的母亲,亲吻她。
    “见到你们太好了,我亲爱的孩子们!听到你甜美的声音真是太好了。哦,让我看看你!”
    她打电话给达林先生。
    达林先生既高兴又惊讶。
    今晚达林的育儿室里充满了欢乐。
    “妈妈,”温迪说,“彼得·潘和迷路的男孩也在这里。他们在外面等着呢。”
    六个迷路的男孩慢慢地走进托儿所。
    他们看着达林太太,对她微笑。
    “妈妈,这些是失踪的男孩。他们没有妈妈。他们能和我们住在一起吗?温迪说。
    “多么可爱的小男孩啊!”达林太太说。“他们当然可以和我们住在一起。彼得·潘在哪儿?”
    彼得走进育儿室说:“我在这儿,但我不想呆在这儿。我不想上学,我不想长大!我想永远做一个小男孩。我必须回到永无乡。我和印第安人和仙女在一起很开心。”
    温迪惊讶地说:“可是彼得,我什么时候才能再见到你呢?”
    达林太太说:“我有个主意。温迪,每年春天你都可以去梦幻岛看彼得!你可以在那儿住一个星期。”
    “我真的能每年春天都去梦幻岛吗,妈妈?”温迪问。
    彼得看着达林太太问道:“这是一个承诺吗?”
    “当然是,”达林太太说。
    “那么我希望春天快点到来,”彼得说。
    “是的,非常快。”温迪说。
    “加油,叮叮铃!让我们飞回家,等春天来。”彼得说。
    彼得·潘和叮叮铃从育儿室的窗户飞向夜空。
    他们的目的地吗?梦幻岛!

    This is a picture.

    这是一张照片。

    In the foreground, there is a house built into the side of a bare hill.

    在照片的前景,有一座屋子,屋子建在一座光秃秃的小山的侧面。

    The house is actually cut out of the rock, and the front is painted white.

    屋子实际上是从岩石中凿出来的,它的前面被刷成了白色。

    There is a single window with a pink curtain across it and a wooden door.

    屋子有一扇拉着粉色窗帘的窗户和一扇木门。

    This rock house is clearly inhabited because in front of the house, there is washing hanging on a washing line in what looks like the front yard.

    这座石屋明显有人居住,因为在屋前一块看起来像是前庭的地方有一根晾衣绳,上面挂着洗好的衣服。

    Then,above the painted front of the house, they've built a chimney.

    然后,在屋子粉刷一侧的上方,他们建了一个烟囱。

    It's quite possible that at the back of this same hill there's another door - or the front of another house, perhaps.

    很有可能在这座山的背面有另一扇门——或者说可能是另一座屋子的前侧。

    At the side of the house, to the left, there's a flat area.

    在屋子的一侧——左侧,有一块平地。

    They've got chairs there and one person appears to be serving food.

    那儿有椅子,一个人看上去正在上菜。

    He is wearing casual summer clothes.

    他穿着随意的夏日装束。

    Further to the left is another chimney, which probably belongs to a different house.

    再往左是另一个烟囱,这个烟囱或许是另一户人家的。

    In the background of the picture, a long way from this particular bare hill,there's another hill.

    在照片的背景,在离这座荒山很远的地方,有另一座山。

    Then,in between, there's a relatively flat plain.

    然后,在两山之间,有一片相对平坦的平原。

    And then there's a small town.

    那里还有一座小镇。

    It looks like a town because there are a lot of white houses and each one is quite close to the next building.

    它看上去像是一座小镇,因为那儿有许许多多的白屋子,屋子与屋子之间靠得很近。

    This must be a hot country because the sky is blue and there isn't much vegetation.

    这一定是个炎热的国家,因为天空很蓝,而且没有太多的植被。

    I should think that rock houses are actually really cool and pleasant to live in.

    或许石屋很凉快,住起来很舒服。

    “如今高端旅游公司的价格比较合理,“本说,

    "Compared to the $3,000 it was back in 1971,

    “与1971年的3000美元相比,

    现在去一趟蒙古需要5000美元左右,尽管仍然是笔大钱,但考虑到通货膨胀,就很划算了。

    CHAPTER SIX: The Jolly Roger


    There is a yellow moon in the night sky.

    The folly Roger is in the bay near Kidd's Creek.

    The children are on the pirate ship.

    They are prisoners of Captain Hook and his cruel pirates.

    Captain Hook looks at them and says, 'This time it's Peter Pan or me! You idiots! Peter Pan can't save you now.'

    Hook laughs and then calls Smee.

    'Smee, get the plank ready!'

    'Yes sir!' says Smee.

    'Now listen to me,' says Hook. 'You must all walk the plank!'

    'Walk the plank?' asks John.

    'Yes!First you walk the plank and then you fall into the sea with the crocodile. It will eat you! Ha, ha!' laughs Hook.

    'But I can save two of you. I want two young pirates. Who wants to be a pirate?'

    The Lost Boys look at John.

    John looks at Michael and says, 'The life of a pirate is exciting. I don't want to walk the plank. I don't want to be food for the crocodile. Let's be pirates!'

    Michael looks at his brother.

    Then they look at Wendy.

    She doesn't like their idea.

    Captain Hook laughs and moves his hook in front of their faces.

    'Do you want to be pirates, yes or no?' he asks.

    John and Michael say, 'Never!'

    Captain Hook is angry and says, 'Then you must walk the plank and die!'

    Wendy is afraid.

    She loves her brothers and the Lost Boys.

    She has tears in her eyes.

    The boys stand near the plank and Wendy watches them.

    A pirate asks, 'Who is the first to walk the plank?'

    At that moment there is a loud noise. 'Tick! Tock! Tick! Tock!'

    Captain Hook's face is white.

    He says, 'The crocodile is here. He wants ME!'

    After a long fight they throw the pirates into the sea.

    Peter and Hook move all around the big ship.

    Theirs words make a loud noise.

    Suddenly Peter takes Hook's sword and pushes him into the sea!

    Hook shouts, 'OH, NO!'

    He falls into the sea and into the mouth of the hungry crocodile.

    'Oh,Peter, we are proud of you!' says Wendy.

    She kisses him on the cheek.

    The boys cheer.

    孩子们在海盗船上。
    他们是胡克船长和他残忍海盗们的俘虏。
    克船长看着他们说:“这次不是彼得·潘就是我!白痴!彼得·潘现在救不了你了。”
    克笑了,然后叫斯密。
    “斯密,把木板准备好!”
    “是的,先生!斯密说。
    “现在听我说,”胡克说。“你们都必须走跳板!”
    “走跳板?”约翰问。
    “是的!你先走跳板,然后和鳄鱼一起掉进海里。它会吃掉你的!哈哈!胡克笑着说。
    “但我能救你们两个。我要两个小海盗。谁想当海盗?”
    迷路的男孩们看着约翰。
    约翰看着迈克尔说:“海盗的生活很刺激。我不想走跳板。我不想成为鳄鱼的食物。让我们当海盗吧!”
    迈克尔看着他的弟弟。
    然后他们看着温迪。

    那里有许多不错的餐馆。但我们的空余时间怎么度过?我知道我们可以在乡间散步,或许还能骑骑马。但这些事情只在夏天才能做。到了又冷又湿的冬天,我们干什么呢?跟我们这儿城里完全不同,对吧?


    I agree. But in the town over there, 20 minutes by car, there are cinemas,theaters, good restaurants, and there's a jazz club. So I think our company should move to the country. Do you agree?

    So,Miss Parkinson, you organize fitness training and beauty treatments for workingwomen?

    所以,帕金森小姐,你专门针对职业女性组织健身训练和美容保养服务?


    That's right, Mr. Cruise.

    是的,克鲁兹先生。


    Could you tell me how you first got the idea for the business?

    可以透露一下你当初是怎么产生从事这一行业的念头的吗?


    Certainly.I suppose it all started about five years ago. I was in holiday and had a very bad skin accident. I found that the only thing that helped the pain was massage and gentle exercise, like yoga or stretching exercises. So I used to go to therapists and classes after work.

    当然可以。一切大概是从五年前开始的吧。当时我在度假,我的皮肤因为意外受了重伤。我发现唯一能缓解疼痛的方法就是按摩和轻度的锻炼,比如瑜伽、伸展运动。所以那时下班后我都会去看理疗师、去上课。


    Where did you work at that time?

    当时你在哪儿工作?


    In the training department of a media company.

    在一家媒体公司的培训部门。


    I see. But then, I got a promotion to training manager. That meant I worked longer hours and it was difficult to get to classes. I asked some of my teachers if they would come to my house instead. And most of them agreed. It was more expensive but I thought it was worth it. Lots of my friends liked the idea, too. So I recommended people to them. That's when I began to realize that maybe I could make a business out of it.

    恩。但后来,我得到提拔,成为了培训经理。这意味着我的工作时间延长了,而且很难抽出时间去上课。我问我的一些老师他们是否可以到家里授课。大部分老师都表示同意。这样做更贵,但我认为很值。我的许多朋友也很喜欢这个主意。所以我就向他们推荐老师。就在那时,我开始意识到也许我可以将此转为商机。


    Did you give up your job, then?

    那么你当时放弃工作了吗?


    No,not immediately. The idea was too scary. I had a good job with a good salary and starting my own business seemed a bit risky. So l just did it as a hobby really. So why did you leave your job in the end?

    没有,没有马上放弃。这个想法太吓人了。我有一份不错的工作,还领着不错的薪水,自己创业似乎有点冒险。所以我只是把它当作兴趣爱好来做。那最终您为什么又放弃你的工作了呢?


    So why did you leave your job in the end?

    那最终您为什么又放弃你的工作了呢?


    Well,the decision was made for me really. My company decided to relocate to a different town. They offered me the choice of relocating with them or quite a large sum of money if I preferred to leave. I know an opportunity when I see it. So I took the money.

    呃,实际上这个决定是为我量身定做的。我们公司决定换址,搬到另一个小镇去。他们给我两个选择,要么跟公司一起搬迁,要么获得一大笔钱,假如我选择离开。只要我看到一个机会,我就会抓住。所以我选择了拿钱。


    Good for you.

    好样的。

    Good afternoon, Madam.

    下午好,夫人。


    Good afternoon. I'd like to buy a camera.

    下午好。我想买一台相机。


    We have all kinds of cameras here, Madam. What sort of camera are you thinking of buying?

    我们店里有各式各样的相机,夫人。您考虑买什么样的相机呢?


    Well,I don't know anything about cameras. But my friend tells me that 35mm cameras are the best.

    ....我对相机一无所知。但我的朋友告诉我35毫米相机最好。


    Well,they are certainly the most popular. Would you like a rangefinder type or a single-lens reflex?

    这款相机的确最受欢迎。您要测距式的,还是单反?


    What's the difference?

    有什么区别?


    With a single-lens reflex, you actually look through the lens when you are taking the photo, so you can see exactly what you are taking.

    用单反相机拍照时,您可以透过镜头看到实际所拍摄的对象。


    That seems a good idea.

    听上去不错。


    Yes,focusing is easier, too. Try this one. It's a good make.

    是的,而且聚焦也更容易。试试这台。做工很不错哦。


    Yes,I see what you mean. The image is very clear and bright.

    嗯,我理解你的意思。画面很清晰,也很明亮。


    That's right.

    没错。


    Moreover,you can use a number of different lenses. Let me put a telephoto lens on for you to try.

    此外,你还可以使用各种不同的镜头。我换个长焦镜头给您试试。


    My word! That's very good. I can see the people across the street as if they were inside the shop.

    哎呀!太棒了。我能看到街对面的人,他们仿佛就在店里。


    Being able to change the lens is very important in my opinion. You can't do that with most rangefinder cameras, though they are smaller and cheaper.

    我觉得能换镜头是非常重要的。大部分测距式相机都不能做到这一点,尽管它们更轻便、更便宜。


    How much is this camera?

    这款相机多少钱?


    The list price is 5, 000. But I can let you have it for 4, 500.

    标价五千。不过我可以给您四干五。


    That's far too much. Did you say that rangefinder cameras are cheaper?

    这太贵了。你刚刚是不是说测距式相机更便宜?


    Yes,they are much cheaper.

    恩,便宜多了。


    Good.Show me some, please.

    好的。请拿几台给我看看。

    CHAPTER FIVE:The Underground Home


    The Underground Home is a secret place.

    No one knows where it is.

    It is a happy, warm place.

    There is only one room with a big fireplace.

    Tinker Bell has her tiny room too.

    Wendy is a perfect mother.

    She cooks and sews for everyone.

    She also tells beautiful bedtime stories.

    The Lost Boys are happy because they finally have a mother.

    John and Michael are happy because there is a new adventure every day.

    Peter Pan is a perfect father.

    He brings home food and protects the family.

    Wendy and Peter play with the children and laugh with them.

    But one night something happens.

    Wendy tells the children this bedtime story: 'In the big city of London there are two parents. They are very sad because they cannot find their three children. Every night they leave the nursery window open. They wait and wait for their children to return. But they don't return. Poor parents! They are very sad without their children.'

    'Oh,Wendy, this is the story of our parents,' says John.

    'Yes,it is,' says Michael.

    Peter listens and says, 'Sometimes parents forget their children and other children take their place.'

    Wendy is very surprised.

    'Oh,no!' she says! 'Perhaps there are other children in our beds! John, Michael we must go home!'

    'Do we really have to?' ask John and Michael.

    'Yes,we've got to return home.'

    The Lost Boys are sad and say, 'Oh, Wendy, please don't leave us!'

    'Don't be sad. You can come and live with us in London,' says Wendy.

    'Oh,how wonderful!' the Lost Boys say. 'We can have a real family.'

    They jump up and down with joy.

    They dance around the room.

    But Peter is not happy.

    He is very serious and says, 'I'm not coming with you to London. I don't want to grow up. I want to be a boy forever.'

    Everyone says goodbye to Peter.

    Outside,the pirates are waiting for them!

    The children come out of the underground home and the pirates capture them.

    Then they take them to the Jolly Roger.

    They don't make any noise.

    Peter doesn't know where they are.

    He is sad without Wendy, John, Michael and the Lost Boys.

    He sits and thinks.

    'Who is it?' asks Peter.

    He can hear the sound of little bells and opens the door.

    Tinker Bell flies in and says, 'The pirates have got Wendy, John, Michael and the Lost Boys! They are in danger. Let's help them!'

    'I must save them. Come Tink, let's go to the Jolly Roger! This time I must attack Hook!'

    第五章:地下之家

    地下之家是一个秘密的地方。
    没人知道它在哪里。
    这是一个快乐、温暖的地方。
    只有一个房间有大壁炉。
    叮叮铃也有她的小房间。
    温迪是个完美的母亲。
    她为大家做饭和缝纫。
    她还会讲美妙的睡前故事。
    迷失的男孩们很高兴,因为他们终于有了妈妈。
    约翰和迈克尔很高兴,因为每天都有新的冒险。
    彼得·潘是一个完美的父亲。
    他把食物带回家,保护家人。
    温迪和彼得和孩子们一起玩,一起笑。
    但是一天晚上发生了一件事。
    温蒂给孩子们讲睡前故事:“在伦敦的大城市里,有一对父母。他们很伤心,因为他们找不到他们的三个孩子。每天晚上他们都把育儿室的窗户打开。他们等了又等,等着孩子们回来。但他们不会回来。可怜的父母!没有了孩子,他们很伤心。”
    “哦,温迪,这是我们父母的故事,”约翰说。
    “是的,是这样,”迈克尔说。
    彼得听着说:“有时父母会忘记他们的孩子,而其他孩子会代替他们。”
    温迪很惊讶。
    “哦,不!她说!“也许我们的床上还有别的孩子!约翰,迈克尔,我们得回家了!”
    “我们真的必须这么做吗?”约翰和迈克尔问。
    “是的,我们得回家了。”
    迷路的男孩们很伤心,说:“哦,温迪,请不要离开我们!”
    “别难过。“你可以来伦敦和我们一起住。”温迪说。
    “哦,太好了!”迷路的孩子们说。“我们可以拥有一个真正的家庭。”
    他们高兴得上蹿下跳。
    他们在房间里跳舞。
    但是彼得不高兴。
    他很严肃地说:“我不会和你一起去伦敦的。我不想长大。我想永远做个男孩。”
    每个人都向彼得道别。
    外面,海盗们正在等着他们!
    孩子们从地下之家出来,海盗抓住了他们。
    然后他们带他们去快乐罗吉号。
    他们不制造任何噪音。
    彼得不知道他们在哪里。
    没有温迪、约翰、迈克尔和迷失的男孩,他很伤心。
    他坐着思考。
    “是谁?”彼得问。
    他听到了小铃铛的声音,打开了门。
    叮叮铃当飞了进来,说:“海盗抓走了温迪、约翰、迈克尔和走失的孩子们!他们有危险。让我们帮助他们吧!”
    “我必须救他们。来吧,小叮当,我们去快乐罗吉号!这次我必须攻击胡克!”

    Digital textbooks are transforming the way many students learn.

    电子课本正在改变着许多学生的学习方式。

    All the Fairfax County Public Schools have begun using online course material for their middle- and high-school students.

    费尔法克斯县的所有公立初高中学校已经开始使用网络课程资料了。

    This school year, the schools shifted from hard cover to electronic textbooks for social studies in its middle and high schools.

    本学年,初高中的学校的社会学科不再使用硬书皮装订课本,而改成了使用电子课本。

    The switch came after digital books were used in 15 schools last year.

    这一改变是继去年的十五所学校使用电子课本之后发生的。

    "Our students come to us technologically ready to use resources from a variety of different places," says Assistant Superintendent Peter Noonan.

    “我们的学生来学校学习,在技术层面上他们已经能够使用从不同来源获得的学习资源,”助理院长彼得·努南说。

    "The world is changing constantly. The online textbooks can change right along with the events that are happening."

    "Usually it is between $50 and $70 to buy a textbook for each student," Noonan says,

    “通常一本教材的费用是每个学生50——70美元,”努南说,

    "which adds up to roughly $8 million for all of our students.

    “我们所有的学生的教材费用加起来大概是800万美元。

    We actually have purchased all of the online textbooks for our students for just under $6 million."

    而我们为学生们购买的各科在线教材实际上总共用了不到600万美元。”

    CHAPTER FOUR: The Mermaid's Lagoon


    One summer evening Peter, Wendy, John, Michael and the Lost Boys go to the Mermaid's Lagoon.

    Beautiful mermaids live here and they are Peter's friends.

    They swim and play in the blue lagoon.

    Then they sit on Marooner's Rock to comb their long hair.

    They sit in the sun and laugh.

    The children like the mermaids and John says, 'I want to catch one!'

    He tries, but the mermaid jumps into the water.

    Peter says, 'It is very difficult to catch a mermaid.'

    Suddenly someone says, 'Look, the pirates are coming!'

    A small boat with two pirates is coming to the lagoon.

    John,Michael and the Lost Boys jump off the rock and swim away.

    But Wendy stays with Peter.

    They hide behind the rock.

    Peter sees Tiger Lily.

    She is sitting in the small boat.

    Poor Tiger Lily is a prisoner of the pirates.

    'Let's leave her on this rock. When the sea rises, she will die!' says Smee.

    The two pirates laugh.

    It is already night and it is very dark.

    Peter wants to save Tiger Lily and thinks of something intelligent.

    He imitates Captain Hook's voice and says, 'Cut the ropes and let her go! Do as I say, you idiots! Let her go!'

    The two pirates are amazed.

    'Can you hear Hook's voice?' asks Smee.

    'Yes,but what do we do?' asks Starkey.

    'We must obey him and cut the ropes,' says Smee.

    They cut the ropes and Tiger Lily is free.

    She quickly jumps into the water and swims away.

    Captain Hook sees everything and he is furious.

    'That horrid Peter Pan! This time I must attack him,' he says.

    He swims to the rock and fights with Peter.

    It is a long fight.

    The Captain hurts Peter with his hook, but Peter fights courageously.

    At last, Peter wins the fight and Hook swims back to the Jolly Roger.

    Peter is now alone on the rock with Wendy.

    'The sea is rising and we are in great danger here. We must leave this rock,' says Peter.

    'Oh,Peter, I am very tired and I cannot swim or fly.'

    He sees a big kite with a long tail.

    It is flying slowly over the lagoon.

    He takes the tail of the kite and says, 'Wendy, hold on to this tail and fly away with the kite.'

    Wendy flies away.

    The sea is rising.

    'I must fly away,' Peter thinks.

    When he gets home everyone is happy to see him especially Wendy.

    第四章:美人鱼的泻湖

    一个夏天的晚上,彼得、温迪、约翰、迈克尔和迷路的男孩们去美人鱼泻湖。
    美丽的美人鱼住在这里,它们是彼得的朋友。
    他们在蓝色的泻湖里游泳和玩耍。
    然后他们坐在流放者岩上梳理他们的长发。
    他们坐在阳光下欢笑。
    孩子们喜欢美人鱼,约翰说:“我想抓一只!”
    他试了试,但是美人鱼跳进了水里。
    彼得说:“要抓住美人鱼是非常困难的。”
    突然有人说:“看,海盗来了!”
    一艘小船载着两个海盗来到了泻湖。
    约翰、迈克尔和迷路的男孩们跳下岩石游开了。
    但是温迪和彼得呆在一起。
    他们躲在岩石后面。
    彼得看到了虎莉莉。
    她正坐在小船上。
    可怜的虎莉莉是海盗的俘虏。
    “我们把她留在这块岩石上吧。等海水涨起来,她就死了!斯密说。
    两个海盗笑了。
    已经是晚上了,天很黑。
    彼得想救虎莉莉,想出了一个聪明的办法。
    他模仿胡克船长的声音说:“割断绳子,放她走!照我说的做,你们这些白痴!放开她!”
    两个海盗都惊呆了。
    “你能听到胡克的声音吗?”斯密问。
    “是的,但我们该怎么办呢?”斯塔奇问。
    “我们必须服从他,割断绳子,”斯密说。
    他们割断了绳子,虎莉莉自由了。
    她迅速跳进水里,游走了。
    虎克船长看到了这一切,非常愤怒。
    “那个可怕的彼得·潘!”他说,这次我必须攻击他。
    他游到岩石和彼得打架。
    这是一场漫长的战斗。
    船长用钩子刺伤了彼得,但彼得勇敢地反抗。
    最后,彼得赢得了战斗,胡克游回了海盗船。
    彼得现在和温迪单独在岩石上。
    “海平面在上涨,我们在这里非常危险。我们必须离开这块岩石。”彼得说。
    “哦,彼得,我很累,我不会游泳,也不会飞。”
    他看到一只长尾巴的大风筝。
    它正缓慢地飞过泻湖。
    他抓住风筝的尾巴说:“温迪,抓住这条尾巴,带着风筝飞走。”
    温迪飞走了。
    海平面在上升。
    “我必须飞走,”彼得想。
    当他回家时,每个人都很高兴看到他,尤其是温迪。

    CHAPTER THREE:The Neverland


    Wendy,John and Michael fly over cities, towns, mountains, forests and seas.

    Finally,they see an island in the sea below them.

    'Look,that's Neverland,' says Peter.

    'Neverland!' say the children.

    In Neverland the Lost Boys live in the forest in a secret underground home.

    There are six Lost Boys: Slightly Soiled, Tootles, Nibs, Curly and the Twins.

    They are waiting for Peter.

    Suddenly they hear the voices of the pirates.

    Nibs is very brave.

    He goes out, hides behind a tree and looks around him.

    He sees the horrible pirates.

    They are walking in the forest.

    They are big and ugly.

    Their pirate ship is the Jolly Roger.

    The pirates' captain is James Hook.

    He is a cruel pirate and a very badman.

    He's got black eyes, black hair and a black beard.

    He hates Peter Pan.

    He's only got one arm.

    The other is a hook!

    In the past Peter Pan cut off Captain Hook's right arm during a fight.

    A crocodile ate the arm.

    Now the crocodile follows Captain Hook everywhere because he wants to eat him.

    The crocodile has an alarm clock in its stomach!

    Captain Hook can always hear it.

    'I know the Lost Boys live in this forest. We must find them and Peter Pan!' says Captain Hook.

    'Tick,tock, tick, tock!' Captain Hook hears the alarm clock.

    'Oh,no, the crocodile is coming to eat me!' says Captain Hook.

    He runs away and the pirates follow him.

    Soon some Indians arrive in the forest.

    They are looking for the pirates.

    The pirates are their enemy.

    Tiger Lily is their leader.

    She is the beautiful daughter of the Indian chief.

    She loves Peter Pan.

    Tinker Bell and Wendy love him too.

    The Indians go away and the Lost Boys return to play in the forest.

    Then Nibs looks at the sky and says, 'Look, there is a lovely white bird in the sky.'

    'Is it really a bird?' the Lost Boys ask.

    Tinker Bell says, 'Yes, yes, it's a bird. It's a Wendy bird. You must shoot it!'

    Sometimes Tink is a bad fairy.

    She knows it is Wendy, but she doesn't like her.

    Nibs takes his bow and arrow and shoots Wendy.

    Poor Wendy falls to the ground.

    The Lost Boys see Wendy and say, 'She's not a bird! She's a lovely girl.'

    Peter flies down with John and Michael and asks, 'Where is Wendy?'

    Tootles says, 'Here she is.'

    Peter goes over to her and asks, 'Wendy, are you all right?'

    Wendy slowly opens her eyes and smiles.

    'Yes,but I'm very tired,' she says.

    The Lost Boys are sorry.

    They decide to build her a little house.

    When the house is ready Wendy says, 'What a lovely little house! Thank you.'

    'Can you be our mother now? Can you tell us bedtime stories before we go to bed?'asks Nibs.

    'Of course,' says Wendy. 'Come in and I can tell you the story of Cinderella.'

    They enter, sit down and listen to Wendy's story.

    It is a wonderful story.

    Peter Pan is outside the house with his sword.

    He wants to protect Wendy and the Lost Boys.

    鳄鱼把胳膊吃了。
    现在鳄鱼到处跟着胡克船长,因为它想吃掉他。
    鳄鱼的胃里有一个闹钟!
    胡克船长总能听到。
    “我知道迷路男孩住在这片森林里。我们必须找到他们和彼得·潘!胡克船长说。
    “嘀嗒,嘀嗒,嘀嗒,嘀嗒!”虎克船长听到闹钟响了。
    “哦,不,鳄鱼要来吃我了!”胡克船长说。
    他逃跑了,海盗们跟着他。
    不久,一些印第安人来到了森林里。
    他们正在寻找海盗。
    海盗是他们的敌人。
    虎莉莉是他们的首领。
    她是印第安酋长的美丽女儿。
    她喜欢彼得·潘。
    叮叮铃和温迪也爱他。
    印第安人走了,迷路的男孩们回到森林里玩耍。
    然后尼布斯看着天空说:“看,天空中有一只可爱的白鸟。”
    “它真的是一只鸟吗?”迷路的男孩问。
    叮叮铃说:“是的,是的,它是一只鸟。这是一只温迪鸟。你必须射了它!”
    有时候叮叮铃是个坏仙女。
    她知道那是温迪,但她不喜欢她。
    尼布斯拿起弓箭向温迪射去。
    可怜的温迪倒在地上。
    迷路的孩子们看到温迪说:“她不是一只鸟!她是个可爱的女孩。”
    彼得带着约翰和迈克尔飞了下来,问道:“温迪在哪里?”
    图图说:“她来了。”
    彼得走过去问她:“温迪,你还好吗?”
    温迪慢慢睁开眼睛,笑了。
    “是的,但我很累,”她说。
    迷路的男孩们很抱歉。
    他们决定给她建一座小房子。
    当房子准备好了,温迪说:“多可爱的小房子啊!谢谢你。”
    “你现在可以做我们的母亲了吗?你能在我们睡觉前给我们讲睡前故事吗?尼布斯问。
    “当然,”温迪说。“进来吧,我可以给你讲灰姑娘的故事。”
    他们走进来,坐下来听温迪讲故事。
    这是一个精彩的故事。
    彼得·潘拿着他的剑在房子外面。
    他想保护温迪和迷失的男孩们。

    Once upon a time, societies were organized around religion, farming, trade or industry.

    如今,在世界上的许多地方,这仍然存在。但是其它的一些东西正变得越来越重要信息交流以及我们进行信息交流所用的技术。

    People worldwide celebrate New Year in different ways.

    世界各地的人们以不同的方式庆祝新年。

    In Latin America, people express their hopes through the color of their underwear.

    在拉丁美洲,人们通过他们内衣的颜色来表达他们的愿望。

    If you wore yellow, that supposedly enhances your chances for abundance and earning more money.

    如果你穿着黄色内衣,据称那会增加你变富裕的机会,并且你会赚更多的钱。

    If it was red, then you'll more likely find love in the new year.

    In Denmark, people throw their old dishes at the doors of their friends' homes each New Years Eve.

    在丹麦,每逢新年前夕,人们会将他们的旧盘子扔在好友家门口。

    Thus,a front doorstep covered with broken plates suggests that the person inside has a lot of friends.

    因此,一个覆盖着破碎盘子的前门台阶暗示着住里面的人拥有一大批朋友。

    Still,for all those who take part in grand New Years events, there are many more who make their own traditions.

    尽管有许多人参加盛大的新年活动,但仍然有更多的人制定了自己的传统。

    It may be a small gathering of family and friends, watching New York's Times Square ball drop on TV, or loudly running through the neighborhood.

    这或许是家庭成员和朋友之间的一个小聚,大家在电视机前观看纽约时代广场的水晶球坠落或者是在邻里间大声地奔跑。

    Some may simply go to sleep early, so they can be energized for an early New Years Day hike- perhaps while wearing underwear that suits their mood, and wishes for the new year.

    有些人或许早早地就睡了,这样他们便可以为明早的新年旅行养精蓄锐——或许在此期间,他们穿着符合自己心境的内衣,并且为新年许愿。
