Little Women — Page 13
「或者当一名护士，这样我就能在他身边，帮助他，」乔呻吟着说道。
"Or a nurse, so I could be near him and help him," exclaimed Jo, with a groan.
「睡在帐篷里，吃各种难吃的东西，用锡杯喝水，一定非常难受，」艾米叹息道。
"It must be very disagreeable to sleep in a tent, and eat all sorts of bad-tasting things, and drink out of a tin mug," sighed Amy.
「妈咪，他什么时候回家？」贝思问道，声音微微颤抖。
"When will he come home, Marmee?" asked Beth, with a little quiver in her voice.
「要好几个月呢，亲爱的，除非他生病了。他会忠实地坚守工作，只要他还能坚持，我们不会提前一分钟要他回来。现在过来听信吧。」
"Not for many months, dear, unless he is sick. He will stay and do his work faithfully as long as he can, and we won't ask for him back a minute sooner than he can be spared. Now come and hear the letter."
她们都聚拢到炉火旁，妈妈坐在大椅子上，贝思坐在她脚边，梅格和艾米分别栖在椅子两侧的扶手上，乔靠在椅背上——这样，如果信里的内容恰好令人感动，就没有人能看出她脸上的任何情绪。
They all drew to the fire, Mother in the big chair with Beth at her feet, Meg and Amy perched on either arm of the chair, and Jo leaning on the back, where no one would see any sign of emotion if the letter should happen to be touching.
在那艰难的岁月里，几乎没有哪封信是不令人动容的，尤其是父亲们寄回家的那些。
Very few letters were written in those hard times that were not touching, especially those which fathers sent home.
这封信里，对所承受的艰辛、所面对的危险、所克服的思乡之情，几乎只字未提。
In this one little was said of the hardships endured, the dangers faced, or the homesickness conquered.
这是一封充满欢快与希望的信，生动地描述了营地生活、行军经历和军事消息，只是在信的结尾，作者那颗父亲的心才溢满了对家中小女儿们的慈爱与思念。
It was a cheerful, hopeful letter, full of lively descriptions of camp life, marches, and military news, and only at the end did the writer's heart over-flow with fatherly love and longing for the little girls at home.
「把我亲爱的爱与吻转交给她们所有人。」
"Give them all of my dear love and a kiss.
