「我来告诉你们我们该怎么做,」贝思说,「我们每人给她准备一份圣诞礼物,自己什么都不买。」

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

「真是你的风格,亲爱的!我们要送什么呢?」乔喊道。

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

大家默默地想了一会儿,然后梅格宣布道,似乎是被自己那双漂亮的手启发了,「我要送她一副漂亮的手套。」

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."

「军用皮鞋,买最好的,」乔喊道。

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

「几块手帕,全都锁好边,」贝思说。

"Some handkerchiefs, all hemmed," said Beth.

「我去买一小瓶古龙水。她喜欢这个,而且也不贵,这样我还能剩下一些钱买铅笔,」艾米补充道。

"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.

「我们怎么把礼物送给她呢?」梅格问道。

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

「把东西放在桌上,把她带进来,看她打开包裹。你们不记得我们过生日时是怎么做的吗?」乔回答道。

"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.

「轮到我坐在那把戴着花冠的椅子上,看着你们一个个走过来送礼物和亲吻,我总是好紧张。我喜欢那些礼物和亲吻,但是你们盯着我看着我拆包裹,真是让我难为情,」贝思说道,她正同时烤着自己的脸和茶点用的面包。

"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.

「让玛美以为我们是在给自己买东西,然后给她一个惊喜。我们明天下午必须去购物,梅格。」

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