At that moment,someone passed by,then stopped and looked back.It was Meg.
就在那時,有人從他們身旁經過,然后停了下來朝后看。那是麥格。
What are you doing here?she said when she saw Jo.You've been running,haven't you?Jo,when will you start to behave like a young lady?
你在這兒干什么?她看到瓊,問道:你剛才奔跑來的,是嗎?瓊,你什么時候才能像個年輕的淑女?
Don't make me grow up yet,Meg,'said Jo,looking sad.It's hard enough having you change so suddenly.
別讓我長大,麥格,瓊說,看上去挺傷感。看見你突然的改變就夠難的了。
Meg was growing into a woman,and Laurie's secret made Jo realize that Meg would leave home one day,perhaps soon.
麥格正在成長為一個婦人,羅瑞的秘密使瓊意識到麥格有一天會離開家,也許很快。
Two Saturdays after Jo had gone secretly into town,Meg saw Laurie chasing Jo all over the garden before the two of them fell on the grass,laughing and waving a newspaper.
兩個星期后的星期六,瓊悄悄去了鎮里,麥格看到羅瑞滿花園地追逐瓊,然后兩人都倒在草地上,笑著舞動著一張報紙。
What can we do with that girl?said Meg.She never will behave like a young lady.
我們該把那個女孩子怎么辦呢,麥格說,她永遠也不會像個淑女。
Minutes later,Jo came in with the newspaper.She sat down and began to read it.
幾分鐘以后,瓊手中拿著報紙走了進來。她坐下來開始讀那份報。
