There are many Beths in the world, shy and quiet, sitting in corners till needed, and living for others so cheerfully that no one sees the sacrifices till the littlecricketon the hearth stopschirping, and the sweet, sunshiny presencevanishes, leaving silence and shadow behind.
世界上有许许多多个贝思,腼腆平静,默默居于一角,需要时才挺身而出,乐于为别人而牺牲自己。人们只看到她们脸上的笑容,却没有意识到她们所作出的牺牲,直到炉边的小蟋蟀停止了吟唱,和美的阳光消逝而去,空剩下一片寂静和黑暗。
If anybody had asked Amy what the greatesttrialof her life was, she would have answered at once, "My nose." When she was a baby, Jo had accidently dropped her into the coalhod, and Amy insisted that the fall had ruined her nose forever. It was not big nor red, like poor 'Petrea's', it was only rather flat, and all thepinchingin the world could not give it anaristocraticpoint. No one minded it but herself, and it was doing its best to grow, but Amy felt deeply the want of a Grecian nose, and drew whole sheets of handsome ones toconsoleherself.
如果有人问艾美生活中最大的痛苦是什么,她会立即回答:“我的鼻子。当她还是婴孩时,乔一次不小心把她摔落在煤斗里头。艾美认定那次意外永远毁掉了她的鼻子。她的鼻子既不大也不红,只是有点扁。无论怎样捏怎样夹也弄不出个贵族式的鼻尖儿,除了她自己外,并没有人在意,而且鼻子的长势也极好,但艾美总认为自己的鼻梁不够直,便画了一大堆美鼻画儿聊以自慰。
