" muttered Jo, rolling her eyes and clutching at the air, as she had seen a famous tragedian do.

" 조가 눈을 굴리며 허공을 움켜쥐면서 중얼거렸는데, 그것은 그녀가 유명한 비극 배우가 하는 것을 본 적이 있는 동작이었다.

"No, it's the toasting fork, with Mother's shoe on it instead of the bread.

"아니, 그건 토스트 포크인데, 빵 대신 어머니의 신발이 꽂혀 있잖아.

Beth's stage-struck!" cried Meg, and the rehearsal ended in a general burst of laughter.

베스가 무대에 홀딱 빠졌나 봐!" 메그가 외쳤고, 리허설은 모두의 폭소 속에 끝났다.

"Glad to find you so merry, my girls," said a cheery voice at the door, and actors and audience turned to welcome a tall, motherly lady with a 'can I help you' look about her which was truly delightful.

"너희들이 이렇게 즐겁게 지내고 있으니 기쁘구나, 얘들아," 문가에서 활기찬 목소리가 들렸고, 배우들과 관객들은 모두 키가 크고 어머니 같은 분위기를 풍기는 부인을 맞이하기 위해 돌아섰는데, 그녀에게는 '제가 도와드릴까요'라는 표정이 감돌아 정말로 사랑스러웠다.

She was not elegantly dressed, but a noble-looking woman, and the girls thought the gray cloak and unfashionable bonnet covered the most splendid mother in the world.

그녀는 우아하게 차려입지는 않았지만 품위 있어 보이는 여인이었으며, 소녀들은 그 회색 망토와 유행에 뒤떨어진 보닛 아래에 세상에서 가장 훌륭한 어머니가 있다고 생각했다.

"Well, dearies, how have you got on today?

"그래, 얘들아, 오늘 하루 어떻게 지냈니?

There was so much to do, getting the boxes ready to go tomorrow, that I didn't come home to dinner.

내일 보낼 상자들을 준비하느라 할 일이 너무 많아서 저녁 식사 때 집에 오지 못했단다.

Has anyone called, Beth?

누가 찾아왔었니, 베스?

How is your cold, Meg?

감기는 좀 어떠니, 메그?

Jo, you look tired to death.

조, 너는 완전히 지쳐 보이는구나.

Come and kiss me, baby."

이리 와서 뽀뽀해 주렴, 아가야."

While making these maternal inquiries Mrs. March got her wet things off, her warm slippers on, and sitting down in the easy chair, drew Amy to her lap, preparing to enjoy the happiest hour of her busy day.

이러한 어머니다운 안부를 묻는 동안 마치 부인은 젖은 것들을 벗고 따뜻한 슬리퍼를 신은 뒤, 안락의자에 앉아 에이미를 무릎 위로 끌어당기며 바쁜 하루 중 가장 행복한 시간을 즐길 준비를 했다.

The girls flew about, trying to make things comfortable, each in her own way.

소녀들은 각자 자신만의 방식으로 분위기를 편안하게 만들려고 분주히 움직였다.

Meg arranged the tea table, Jo brought wood and set chairs, dropping, over-turning, and clattering everything she touched.

메그는 차 테이블을 정리하고, 조는 장작을 가져오고 의자를 놓으면서 손에 닿는 것마다 떨어뜨리고 뒤집고 덜컹거리게 했다.
