英文名著精选阅读:《小妇人》第四章:负担 第11节
When they had laughed at Beth's story, they asked their mother for one, and after a moments thought, she saidsoberly, "As I sat cutting out blueflanneljackets today at the rooms, I felt very anxious about Father, and thought how lonely and helpless we should be, if anything happened to him. It was not a wise thing to do, but I kept on worrying till an old man came in with an order for some clothes. He sat down near me, and I began to talk to him, for he looked poor and tired and anxious.
大家听到贝思的故事全笑起来,又请母亲也来一个。母亲略想一想,严肃地说:“今天我在工作间里裁剪蓝色天鹅绒大衣时,非常挂念父亲,我想如果万一他遇到什么不测的话,我们将多么孤独无援。这样想很傻,但我不能自已。这时一个老人走进来交给我一张衣服订单。他在我旁边坐下,我看他模样像个穷苦人家,显得既疲倦又焦虑,便和他攀谈起来。
"'Have you sons in the army?' I asked, for the note he brought was not to me."
“'你有儿子在部队吗?'我问,因为他带来的条子不是给我的。
"Yes, ma'am. I had four, but two were killed, one is a prisoner, and I'm going to the other, who is very sick in a Washington hospital.' he answered quietly."
“'有,夫人。有四个,但两个死了,还有一个在监狱,我现在去看另一个,他住在华盛顿医院,病得十分厉害,'他平静地说。
