《小妇人》第16期_第3章 劳伦斯家的男孩(6)

　　'Gan I help？'said Laurie．He had a cup of coffee in one hand and a plate with a cake on it in the other．
　　'I was trying to get something for Meg，'said Jo．
　　'And I was looking for someone to give this to，' he said．He fetched more coffee and a cake for Jo， then the three of them had a happy time talking together until Hannah arrived．Meg completely forgot about her foot and stood up quickly．She cried out with pain，and when Laurle saw that she could not walk， he immediately offered to take them home in his grandfather's carriage．
　　'But you can't want to go home yet，'said Jo．
　　'I always go early，'said Laurie．
　　He sat with the driver， and the two girls sat with Hannah inside the carriage and talked excitedly about the party．
　　'I had a wonderful time，did you？' said Jo．
　　'Yes，until I hurt myself，'said Meg．'Salie's friend，Annie Moffat， has asked me to go and stay with her for a week in the spring， when Sallie does．'
　　Jo told Meg her adventures，and then they were home．They thanked Laurie and went quietly into the house， hoping to wake no one． But as soon as they opened their bedroom door，two little voices cried out：'Tell us about the party！Tell us about the party！'

“我能帮忙吗？”罗瑞说。他一只手端着一杯咖啡，另一只手举着一个盘子，上面放着一块蛋糕。
　　“我正给麦格找点吃的，”琼说。
　　“我正找人要把这些吃的送出去，”罗瑞说。他又替琼取了一些咖啡和一块蛋糕，然后三个人一起聊天，度过了一段愉快的时光，直到海娜来了。麦格早已完全忘了她脚疼的事，很快站了起来。她痛苦地喊叫了一声。罗瑞看到她不能走路，就立即邀请她们一起坐他祖父的马车回家。
　　“可你还不想回家呢，”琼说。
　　“我一向走得很早，”罗瑞回答。
　　他坐在车夫旁边，两个女孩和海娜坐在马车里面，兴奋地谈论舞会的情况。
　　“我玩得棒极了，你呢？”琼说。
　　“我也是，直到我受了伤，”麦格说，“萨丽的朋友安妮•墨菲请我春天到她那儿住一个星期，萨丽也去。”
　　琼给麦格讲述她的经历，然后她们就到家了。她们感谢了罗瑞，就悄悄地走进家门，不想惊醒任何人。然而当她们一推开卧室的门，两个小小的声音就叫起来：“快给我们讲讲舞会的事！快给我们讲讲舞会的事！”
