英文名著精选阅读:《小妇人》第四章:负担 第8节
Amy was in a fair way to be spoiled, for everyone petted her, and her small vanities and selfishnesses were growing nicely. One thing, however, rather quenched the vanities. She had to wear her cousin's clothes. Now Florence's mama hadn't a particle of taste, and Amy suffered deeply at having to wear a red instead of a blue bonnet, unbecoming gowns, and fussy aprons that did not fit. Everything was good, well made, and little worn, but Amy's artistic eyes were much afflicted, especially this winter, when her school dress was a dull purple with yellow dots and no trimming.
艾美差不多被大家宠坏了,她的虚荣和自私也成正比例增长。然而有一件事却刺伤了她的虚荣心:她得穿表姐的衣服。由于表姐弗洛伦斯的母亲毫无品味,艾美大受其苦,帽子该配蓝色的却配了红色,衣服与她很不协调,而围裙又过分讲究。其实这些衣物全都不错,做工精细,磨损极少,但艾美的艺术眼光却不能忍受,尤其是这个冬天,她穿的暗紫色校服布满黄点还没有饰边。
"My only comfort," she said to Meg, with tears in her eyes, "is that Mother doesn't take tucks in my dresses whenever I'm naughty, as Maria Parks's mother does. My dear, it's really dreadful, for sometimes she is so bad her frock is up to her knees, and she can't come to school. When I think of this degerredation, I fell that I can bear even my flat nose and purple gown with yellow skyrockets on it."
