Little Women — Page 7
她的父亲叫她"小安静小姐"，这个名字非常适合她，因为她似乎生活在自己快乐的世界里，只有在遇到她信任和爱的少数人时才会走出来。
Her father called her 'Little Miss Tranquility', and the name suited her excellently, for she seemed to live in a happy world of her own, only venturing out to meet the few whom she trusted and loved.
艾米虽然是最小的，但至少在她自己看来，她是一个极其重要的人。
Amy, though the youngest, was a most important person, in her own opinion at least.
她是个标准的雪姑娘，有着蓝色的眼睛和卷曲在肩上的金黄色头发，肤色白皙，身材纤细，举止总是像一位时刻注意礼仪的年轻淑女。
A regular snow maiden, with blue eyes, and yellow hair curling on her shoulders, pale and slender, and always carrying herself like a young lady mindful of her manners.

Meg stopped lecturing, and lighted the lamp, Amy got out of the easy chair without being asked, and Jo forgot how tired she was as she sat up to hold the slippers nearer to the blaze.
"这双鞋已经破得不成样子了，玛美必须得有一双新的。"
"They are quite worn out. Marmee must have a new pair."
"我想用我的一块钱给她买一双，"贝思说。
"I thought I'd get her some with my dollar," said Beth.
"不，我来买！"艾米叫道。
"No, I shall!" cried Amy.
"我是最大的，"梅格开口说，但乔坚决地打断道："现在爸爸不在家，我就是这个家里的男子汉，我来买拖鞋，因为他让我在他离开时特别照顾好妈妈。"
