Little Women — Page 3
贝思叹了一口气,低头看着自己粗糙的双手,这次叹息声大得人人都能听见。
And Beth looked at her rough hands with a sigh that any one could hear that time.
"我不相信你们任何一个人像我受的苦那么多,"艾米喊道,"因为你们不必去上学,不必面对那些无礼的女生——她们在你不会背课文时嘲弄你,嘲笑你的衣服,要是你父亲不富有就给他贴标签,要是你的鼻子不好看就侮辱你。"
"I don't believe any of you suffer as I do," cried Amy, "for you don't have to go to school with impertinent girls, who plague you if you don't know your lessons, and laugh at your dresses, and label your father if he isn't rich, and insult you when your nose isn't nice."
"如果你是说'诽谤',就该说'诽谤',别说什么'贴标签',好像爸爸是个泡菜瓶子似的,"乔笑着建议道。
"If you mean libel, I'd say so, and not talk about labels, as if Papa was a pickle bottle," advised Jo, laughing.
"我知道我说的是什么意思,你也用不着对我冷嘲热讽。用好词是应该的,要丰富自己的词汇量,"艾米一本正经地回答道。
"I know what I mean, and you needn't be statirical about it. It's proper to use good words, and improve your vocabilary," returned Amy, with dignity.
"孩子们,别互相斗嘴了。乔,你有没有想过,要是我们小时候爸爸没有亏掉那笔钱就好了?哎呀!要是我们没有这些烦恼,我们该多快乐、多幸福啊!"梅格说道,她还记得从前更好的日子。
"Don't peck at one another, children. Don't you wish we had the money Papa lost when we were little, Jo? Dear me! How happy and good we'd be, if we had no worries!" said Meg, who could remember better times.
"你前几天还说,你觉得我们比金家的孩子快乐多了,因为他们虽然有钱,却整天吵架、烦恼不断。"
"You said the other day you thought we were a deal happier than the King children, for they were fighting and fretting all the time, in spite of their money."
"贝思,我是说过。嗯,我觉得我们确实更快乐。虽然我们要干活,但我们能苦中作乐,正如乔所说,我们是一群相当快活的人。"
"So I did, Beth. Well, I think we are. For though we do have to work, we make fun of ourselves, and are a pretty jolly set, as Jo would say."
"乔就爱说这些俚语!"艾米说道,带着责备的目光看向那个懒洋洋伸展在地毯上的高挑身影。
"Jo does use such slang words!" observed Amy, with a reproving look at the long figure stretched on the rug.
