Little Mrs. Sommers one day found herself the unexpected owner of fifteen dollars. It seemed to her a very large amount of money. The way it filled up her worn money holder gave her a feeling of importance that she had not enjoyed for years.
一天,身材娇小的萨默斯太太意外地捡到十五美元。这对她来说算是一笔可观的财富了。这些钱把萨默斯太太那破旧的钱夹撑得鼓鼓的,她觉得自己仿佛成了一位重要人物——她已经有许多年未曾体会过这种滋味了。
The question of investment was one she considered carefully. For a day or two she walked around in a dreamy state as she thought about her choices. She did not wish to act quickly and do anything she might regret.
她要好好思量如何使用这笔钱。这一两天来,她一直恍恍惚惚,来回踱步,思考着各种选择。她可不愿意冲动行事,以免做出一些会让自己后悔的事情。
A dollar or two could be added to the price she usually paid for her daughter Janie’s shoes. This would guaranteethey would last a great deal longer than usual. She would buy cloth for new shirts for the boys. Her daughter Mag should have another dress. And still there would be enough left for new stockings—two pairs per child. The idea of her little family looking fresh and new for once in their lives made her restlesswith excitement.
只要再掏一两美元就能凑足她平时给女儿贾妮买鞋子的钱,这对鞋子一定比平常买的更耐穿。她可以给儿子们买布缝制新衬衫。女儿麦格也该买条裙子了。剩下的钱足够买几双新袜子——每个孩子两双。让全家人生平第一次打扮一新,这想法使她兴奋得坐立不安。
