I have lots of books to read，said Jo．

Let's play all the time，and rest，as Jo and Meg are going to do．
咱們所有時間都用來玩和休息，就像瓊和麥格要做的那樣。

It was a lonely meal and the room was untidy，because Beth had not cleaned it．

可沒有一個人出現，于是她就去散步，途中遇到了雨，濕淋淋地回到家。
關于《小婦人》
后來鄰居勞倫斯家也有一個藏書室，那也是喬經常去的地方。這些都為喬日后熱心寫作出版了多部作品而打下了基礎。
