英文名著精选阅读:《小妇人》第四章:负担 第12节
"Once upon a time, there were four girls, who had enough to eat and drink and wear, a good many comforts and pleasures, kind friends and parents who loved them dearly, and yet they were notcontented." (Here the listeners stoleslylooks at one another, and began to sewdiligently.)
“从前,有四个姑娘,她们衣食不愁,安逸舒适,有好心的朋友和深深爱着她们的父母,然而她们并不满足。这时听众们狡黠地互相交换个眼色,又继续飞针走线。
"These girls were anxious to be good and made many excellentresolutions, but they did not keep them very well, and were constantly saying, 'If only we had this,' or 'If we could only do that,' quite forgetting how much they already had, and how many things they actually could do. So they asked an old woman what spell they could use to make them happy, and she said, 'When you feeldiscontented, think over your blessings, and be grateful.'" (Here Jo looked up quickly, as if about to speak, but changed her mind, seeing that the story was not done yet.)
“这些姑娘们都想做个好孩子,并作了许多宏图大计,但总是不能持久。她们老说:'如果我们有这些东西就好了。'或'如果我们能够这样多好。'完全忘记了自己已身处福中。于是她们问一位老妇人有什么魔法可以使她们幸福。老妇人说:'当你们感到不满足时,想想自己所拥有的东西,并为此而心存感激。'"(这时乔马上抬起头来,似乎有话要说,但想到故事尚未结束,便把话咽了回去。)
