I always thought a piccolo made a man look silly .
我一直觉得男人一拿短笛就显得傻乎乎的。
Peter ignored him and put the piccolo to his lips and began playing .
彼得没有理睬他,径直将短笛举到唇边开始吹奏。
We could not get them to stop playing peter 's piece , even when I stopped waving the piccolo .
我们根本没法让它们停止演奏彼得的曲子,即使我停止挥舞短笛也没用。
I took the piccolo and , because I didn 't know what else to do , waved it around like a conductor 's baton , vaguely in synch with the whining of the gossamers .
