Peter Pan（n.）
彼得·潘是 J·M·巴里的戏剧《彼得·潘或不愿长大的男孩》（1904）中男孩英雄的名字，最初出现在巴里的《小白鸟》（1902）中。从1914年开始，被用来暗示一个不成熟的成年男子（由 G.B.肖引用，指德皇威廉二世）。
Well, Peter Pan got out by the window, which had no bars. Standing on the ledge he could see trees far away, which were doubtless the Kensington Gardens, and the moment he saw them he entirely forgot that he was now a little boy in a nightgown, and away he flew, right over the houses to the Gardens. It is wonderful that he could fly without wings, but the place itched tremendously, and, perhaps we could all fly if we were as dead-confident-sure of our capacity to do it as was bold Peter Pan that evening. [Barrie, "The Little White Bird"]
“彼得·潘从没有栅栏的窗户爬了出去。站在窗台上，他可以看到远处的树，那肯定是肯辛顿花园，他一看到它们就完全忘记了他现在是一个穿着睡衣的小男孩，然后他飞走了，直接飞过房子到了花园。他能在没有翅膀的情况下飞行真是太神奇了，但那个地方非常痒，也许如果我们像大胆的彼得·潘那天晚上那样对自己的能力充满信心，我们也可以飞行。” [巴里，《小白鸟》]
