The old gentleman looked a little ashamed.'You're right, I am.Although I love the boy, I find it hard to be patient with him sometimes.Bring him down and tell him it's all right.
老先生看上去有點羞愧。你是對的。我是那樣。雖然我愛那孩子,可有時我發現很難對他有耐心。把他帶下來,告訴他沒事了,
I'm sorry I shook him.'
我很抱歉搖晃了他。
'Why not write him an apology,sir?'said Jo.'He says he won't come down until he's got one.'
為什么不給他寫個條子道歉呢,先生?瓊說。他說只有收到了道歉信他才會下來。
Mr Laurence gave her another sharp look,but then smiled and put on his glasses.'Here, give me a bit of paper,' he said.
勞倫斯先生又尖刻地看了她一眼,可然后就笑了,戴上了他的眼鏡。來,給我張紙,他說。
The words were written and Jo kissed the old man's cheek.Then she went upstairs and put the letter under Laurie's door.But he came out before she was gone.
紙條寫好了,瓊吻了老人的臉頰,然后她跑上樓把信放到羅瑞的門下。可他還沒等她走開就出來了。
'Well done,Jo,'he said.'Did he shout at you?'
干得好,瓊,他說。他對你叫嚷了嗎?
'No,he was quite calm,'said Jo.'Now, go and eat your dinner.You'll both feel better after it.'
不,他很平靜,瓊說。現在去吃飯吧。然后你們倆都會感覺好些。
Everyone thought the matter was ended,but although others forgot it,Meg remembered.She never talked about Laurie's tutor but she thought of him often and dreamed her dreams.

'Oh, dear!'said Jo.
噢,天哪!瓊說。
