Peter Pan 004 – Chapter IV.THE FLIGHT – 002

Sometimes it was dark and sometimes light, and now they were very cold and again too warm.
Did they really feel hungry at times, or were they merely pretending, because Peter had such a jolly new way of feeding them? His way was to pursue birds who had food in their mouths suitable for humans and snatch it from them; then the birds would follow and snatch it back; and they would all go chasing each other gaily for miles, parting at last with mutual expressions of good-will.
But Wendy noticed with gentle concern that Peter did not seem to know that this was rather an odd way of getting your bread and butter, nor even that there are other ways.

Certainly they did not pretend to be sleepy, they were sleepy; and that was a danger, for the moment they popped off, down they fell.
The awful thing was that Peter thought this funny.

“There he goes again!” he would cry gleefully, as Michael suddenly dropped like a stone.

“Save him, save him!” cried Wendy, looking with horror at the cruel sea far below.
Eventually Peter would dive through the air, and catch Michael just before he could strike the sea, and it was lovely the way he did it; but he always waited till the last moment, and you felt it was his cleverness that interested him and not the saving of human life.

   그의 방법은 인간에게 적합한 음식을 입에 물고 있는 새들을 쫓아가서 그들로부터 음식을 빼앗는 것이었다; 그러면 새들은 따라와서 다시 음식을 빼앗으려 했고; 그들은 서로 몇 마일 동안 즐겁게 추격하곤 했으며, 마침내 서로의 호의를 담아 헤어졌다.

4. But Wendy noticed / with gentle concern / that Peter did not seem to know / that this was rather an odd way / of getting your bread and butter, / nor even that there are other ways.

   하지만 Wendy는 다정하게 염려하며 Peter가 이것이 빵과 버터를 얻는 다소 이상한 방법이라는 것을 알지 못하는 것 같다고 알아챘다; 그리고 심지어 다른 방법이 있다는 것도 모르는 것 같았다.

   확실히, 그들은 졸린 척하지 않았다, 그들은 정말 졸렸다; 그리고 그것은 위험이었다, 그들이 잠에 빠지는 순간, 곧바로 아래로 떨어졌다.

8. “Save him, save him!” / cried Wendy, / looking with horror / at the cruel sea / far below.

   결국 Peter는 공중에서 급강하하고, 바다에 부딪히기 직전에 Michael을 잡아냈고, 그가 그렇게 하는 방법은 정말 멋졌다; 그러나 그는 언제나 마지막 순간까지 기다렸고, 당신은 그가 인간의 생명을 구하는 것보다 자신의 기지가 더 흥미롭다고 생각하는 것 같다고 느꼈다.
