Little Women — Page 9
क्रिसमस की रात के नाटक के बारे में अभी बहुत कुछ करना है," जो ने कहा, अपने हाथ पीठ के पीछे बाँधे और नाक हवा में उठाए, ऊपर-नीचे चहलकदमी करते हुए।
There is so much to do about the play for Christmas night," said Jo, marching up and down, with her hands behind her back, and her nose in the air.
"मैं इस बार के बाद और अभिनय नहीं करने वाली। मैं इन सब चीज़ों के लिए अब बहुत बड़ी हो गई हूँ," मेग ने कहा, जो 'सज-धजकर' मस्ती करने के मामले में अब भी उतनी ही बच्ची थी जितनी पहले।
"I don't mean to act any more after this time. I'm getting too old for such things," observed Meg, who was as much a child as ever about 'dressing-up' frolics.
"तुम रुकोगी नहीं, मुझे पता है, जब तक तुम सफ़ेद गाउन पहनकर बाल खुले छोड़कर घूम सकती हो और सोने के काग़ज़ के गहने पहन सकती हो। तुम हमारी सबसे अच्छी अभिनेत्री हो, और अगर तुमने मंच छोड़ा तो सब कुछ खत्म हो जाएगा," जो ने कहा। "हमें आज रात रिहर्सल करनी चाहिए। यहाँ आओ, एमी, और बेहोशी वाला दृश्य करो, क्योंकि उसमें तुम किसी सीधी छड़ी की तरह अकड़ी रहती हो।"
"You won't stop, I know, as long as you can trail round in a white gown with your hair down, and wear gold-paper jewelry. You are the best actress we've got, and there'll be an end of everything if you quit the boards," said Jo. "We ought to rehearse tonight. Come here, Amy, and do the fainting scene, for you are as stiff as a poker in that."
"मैं क्या करूँ। मैंने कभी किसी को बेहोश होते नहीं देखा, और मैं खुद को चोट लगाकर नीला-काला नहीं करना चाहती, जैसे तुम धड़ाम से गिरती हो। अगर मैं आराम से नीचे जा सकी, तो गिरूँगी। अगर नहीं, तो कुर्सी पर बैठ जाऊँगी और शालीनता बनाए रखूँगी। मुझे कोई फ़र्क नहीं पड़ता अगर ह्यूगो पिस्तौल लेकर मेरी तरफ आता है," एमी ने जवाब दिया, जिसमें नाटकीय प्रतिभा तो नहीं थी, पर उसे इसलिए चुना गया था क्योंकि वह इतनी छोटी थी कि नाटक का खलनायक उसे चीखते हुए उठाकर ले जा सके।
"I can't help it. I never saw anyone faint, and I don't choose to make myself all black and blue, tumbling flat as you do. If I can go down easily, I'll drop. If I can't, I shall fall into a chair and be graceful. I don't care if Hugo does come at me with a pistol," returned Amy, who was not gifted with dramatic power, but was chosen because she was small enough to be borne out shrieking by the villain of the piece.
"इस तरह करो। अपने हाथ ऐसे जोड़ो, और कमरे भर में लड़खड़ाते हुए जाओ, बेतहाशा चिल्लाते हुए — 'रोड्रिगो! बचाओ मुझे! बचाओ मुझे!'" और जो एक नाटकीय चीख के साथ आगे बढ़ गई जो सच में रोमांचकारी थी।
"Do it this way. Clasp your hands so, and stagger across the room, crying frantically, 'Roderigo! Save me! Save me!'" and away went Jo, with a melodramatic scream which was truly thrilling.
