Chapter 14 Happier days
第14章 快乐的日子
Christmas Day was very different that year．Beth felt much better and was carried to the window to see the snowman which Jo and Laurie had made．
那年的圣诞节非同寻常。白丝感觉好多了，她被抬到窗前看琼和罗瑞堆起的雪人。
It had a basket of fruit and flowers in one hand and a new piece of music in the other．
它一只手拿着一篮水果和鲜花，另一只手拿着一张新歌谱。
Laurie ran up and down，bringing in the presents，and Jo sang a funny song．
罗瑞跑上跑下地送来礼物，琼唱着一首有意思的歌。
'I'm so happy！'laughed Beth，as Jo carried her back to the other room to rest after the fun．'Oh，I do wish that Father was here too！'
我真高兴！玩乐过后、琼把白丝抱到另一个房间休息时白丝笑着说。噢，我真希望爸爸也在这儿！
Half an hour later，Laurie came to the house and opened the door quietly．'Here's another Christmas present for the March family！'he called out．
半个小时以后，罗瑞来到屋里，静悄悄地打开门。这儿有给马奇一家的另一份圣诞礼物！他喊道。
He moved away，and in his place appeared a tall man holding the arm of another tall man，who tried to say something but couldn't．
他挪开了，在他的位子上出现了一个高大的男人，他扶着另一个高大的男人，这个人试图说些什么，但没有说出来。
'Father！'cried Meg and Jo together-and Mr March disappeared under lots of loving arms and kisses．Mr Brooke kissed Meg-by mistake，as he tried to explain．
爸爸！麦格和琼同声喊道—然后马奇先生就沉浸在许多爱的拥抱和亲吻中了。布鲁克先生吻了麦格—是个误会，他试图这样解释。
Suddenly， the door to the other room opened，and there was Beth，running straight into her father's arms．
突然，另一个房间的门打开了，是白丝，她径直奔向了父亲的怀抱。
There were tears of happiness on many faces before all the excitement died down．
兴奋消散之前，许多人脸上都淌下了欢乐的眼泪。
Then Mrs March thanked Mr Brooke for taking care ofher husband，and he and Laurie left the family to themselves．
马奇太太感谢布鲁克先生照顾了她丈夫，然后他和罗瑞就离开了，剩下了一家人在一起。
关于《小妇人》
她们家的邻居劳伦斯家有祖孙二人，爷爷慈祥，孙子劳里热情，都乐于助人。在两家的交往中，马奇家始终处于不亢不卑的状态，但也不失热忱。
