《小妇人》第33期第6章艾米遇到麻烦(5)

　　Wild with fear，Jo fetched some wood and pulled it across the ice，while Laurie held Amy's head above the water．Together，they got her out．
　　She was more frightened than hurt，and was quickly taken home．They covered her in blankets and tried to calm her，and after a little while she fell asleep in front of the warm fire．Later，when everything was quiet，Jo asked her mother，'Are you sure she s safe？'
　　'Quite safe，dear．It was sensible to get her home as quickly as you did．'
　　'Laurie did it all，'said Jo．'Mother，if she should die，it will be my fault．I get angry so quickly．Oh，why can't I be more like you？'
　　'I get angry nearly every day of my life，Jo，'said Mrs March，'but I've learned not to show it．I've learned to stop myself saying the angry words that come to my lips，and you must try to do the same，my dear．'
　　Amy moved in her sleep and Jo looked at her．'I refused to forgive her，and today，she nearly died！And it was Laurie who saved her．How could I be so wicked？'Jo began to cry．
　　Then Amy opened her eyes and held out her arms，with a smile that went straight to Jo's heart．Neither of them said a word，but they held each other close， and everything was forgiven and forgotten．

琼吓疯了，她去拿了木头，把它拖过冰面，此时罗瑞将艾米的头托出水面。他们一起把她从水中捞了出来。
　　她没受什么伤，更多的是受了惊吓，被很快送回了家。他们用毛毯盖住她，并试图安慰她，过了一会儿她就在温暖的炉火前睡着了。然后，当一切安静下来，琼问母亲：“你能肯定她没事吗？”
　　“肯定没事，亲爱的，你很明智，很快就把她送回家来。”
　　“都是罗瑞做的。”琼说，“妈妈，如果她死了，那都是我的错。我太爱生气了。噢，我为什么就不能像你呢？”
　　“我每天都会生气，琼，”马奇太太说，“但我学会了不表现出来。我学会了在生气的话就要到嘴边时住口，你也要尽力这样做，我亲爱的。”
　　艾米在睡梦中动了一下，琼看了看她。“我拒绝饶恕她，结果今天她差点就死了！是罗瑞救了她。我怎么会这么可恶呢？”琼哭了。
　　然后艾米睁开了双眼，伸出了她的双臂，面带微笑，那微笑一直走进了琼的心里。她们谁也没说话，但她们紧紧拥抱在一起，一切都已被原谅和遗忘了。
