The clock struck six and, having swept up the hearth, Beth put a pair ofslippersdown to warm. Somehow the sight of the old shoes had a good effect upon the girls, for Mother was coming, and everyone brightened to welcome her. Meg stoppedlecturing, and lighted the lamp, Amy got out of the easy chair without being asked, and Jo forgot how tired she was as she sat up to hold the slippers nearer to theblaze.
时钟敲响六下,贝思已经扫干净壁炉地面,把一双便鞋放到上面烘干。看到这双旧鞋子,姑娘们想起妈妈就要回家了,心情明朗起来,准备迎接妈妈。梅格停止了训导,点上了灯。艾美不用人说,就离开了安乐椅。乔则坐起来把鞋子挪近火边,一时忘却了疲倦。
"They are quite worn out. Marmee must have a new pair."
“鞋子太破旧了,妈咪得换双新的。
"I thought I'd get her some with my dollar," said Beth.
“我想用自己的钱给她买一双,贝思说。
"No, I shall!" cried Amy.
“不,我来买!艾美嚷道。
"I'm the oldest," began Meg, but Jo cut in with a decided, "I'm the man of the family now Papa is away, and I shall provide the slippers, for he told me to take special care of Mother while he was gone." "I'll tell you what we'll do," said Beth, "let's each get her something for Christmas, and not get anything for ourselves." "That's like you, dear! What will we get?" exclaimed Jo.
