"I'll tell you what we'll do," said Beth, "let's each get her something for Christmas, and not get anything for ourselves."

"Eu vou lhes dizer o que faremos", disse Beth, "vamos cada uma comprar algo para ela no Natal, e não comprar nada para nós mesmas."

"That's like you, dear! What will we get?" exclaimed Jo.

"Isso é típico de você, querida! O que vamos comprar?" exclamou Jo.

Everyone thought soberly for a minute, then Meg announced, as if the idea was suggested by the sight of her own pretty hands, "I shall give her a nice pair of gloves."

Todos pensaram seriamente por um minuto, então Meg anunciou, como se a ideia tivesse sido sugerida pela visão de suas próprias mãos bonitas, "Vou lhe dar um belo par de luvas."

"Army shoes, best to be had," cried Jo.

"Sapatos militares, os melhores que houver", gritou Jo.

"Some handkerchiefs, all hemmed," said Beth.

"Alguns lenços, todos com bainha", disse Beth.

"I'll get a little bottle of cologne. She likes it, and it won't cost much, so I'll have some left to buy my pencils," added Amy.

"Vou comprar um pequeno frasco de colônia. Ela gosta, e não vai custar muito, então me sobrará algum dinheiro para comprar meus lápis", acrescentou Amy.

"How will we give the things?" asked Meg.

"Como vamos entregar as coisas?" perguntou Meg.

"Put them on the table, and bring her in and see her open the bundles. Don't you remember how we used to do on our birthdays?" answered Jo.

"Coloque-as sobre a mesa, traga-a para dentro e veja-a abrir os embrulhos. Você não se lembra de como fazíamos nos nossos aniversários?" respondeu Jo.

"I used to be so frightened when it was my turn to sit in the chair with the crown on, and see you all come marching round to give the presents, with a kiss. I liked the things and the kisses, but it was dreadful to have you sit looking at me while I opened the bundles," said Beth, who was toasting her face and the bread for tea at the same time.

"Eu costumava ficar tão assustada quando era minha vez de sentar na cadeira com a coroa, e ver vocês todas virem marchando ao redor para dar os presentes, com um beijo. Eu gostava das coisas e dos beijos, mas era terrível ter vocês sentadas me olhando enquanto eu abria os embrulhos", disse Beth, que estava aquecendo o rosto e torradas o pão para o chá ao mesmo tempo.

"Let Marmee think we are getting things for ourselves, and then surprise her. We must go shopping tomorrow afternoon, Meg.

"Deixemos Marmee pensar que estamos comprando coisas para nós mesmas, e então a surpreendamos. Devemos ir às compras amanhã à tarde, Meg.
