The weary voice went on: “I think I could keep on if I had only the selling to do, but there is a great pile of dishes that must be washed.”
那個(gè)疲倦的聲音繼續(xù)說(shuō):“我想只要我還有賣(mài)菜的活干，我就能繼續(xù)干下去，但是有一大堆盤(pán)子要洗。”
“Oh, please!” said a small voice. “I’ll do it for twenty cents.”
“哦,謝謝!一個(gè)小聲音說(shuō)。“只要20美分，我就做。”
Betsy stood by the woman’s elbow.
貝琪站在那女人的胳膊肘旁。
“Do what, child?” asked the tired woman in great surprise.
“做什么,孩子?”疲憊不堪的女人驚訝地問(wèn)。
“Everything!” said Betsy. “Wash the dishes and tend the booth. You can go and rest. I’ll do it for twenty cents.”
“一切!”貝西說(shuō)。“洗碗、收拾攤子。你可以去休息了。只要20美分，我就做這些事情。”
The woman looked at the small, eager girl in surprise.
女人驚訝地看著這個(gè)矮小、熱切的女孩。
“I can wash dishes as well as anybody,” said Betsy.
“我洗盤(pán)子洗得和任何人一樣好，”貝琪說(shuō)。
“Yes, I think she can,’’ said the friend in the other booth. “And I am sure she can do the selling, too.”
“是的，我想她能，”另一個(gè)隔間里的朋友說(shuō)。我相信她也能做銷(xiāo)售。
The tired woman waited no longer, but tied a long apron around Betsy’s neck, gave her a few instructions, and left, saying she would be back shortly after five o’clock. So Betsy mounted a soap box and began joyfully to wash the dishes. She had never thought that she would ever in her life simply love to wash dishes.
這個(gè)疲憊的女人不再等了，而是在貝特西的脖子上系了一條長(zhǎng)長(zhǎng)的圍裙，給了她一些指示，然后離開(kāi)了，說(shuō)她將在五點(diǎn)鐘后不久回來(lái)。于是貝琪裝上一個(gè)肥皂盒，高興地開(kāi)始洗碗。她從來(lái)沒(méi)有想過(guò)，在她的一生中，她會(huì)單純地愛(ài)洗碗。
