Little Women
享誉全球的家庭小说:书中的四姐妹伴着慈爱的母亲,过着清贫而富有乐趣的生活,字里行间体现了人性的善良与美好。
Four sisters live with their mother, facing Christmas without their father as the American Civil War is underway. The family is settled in a new neighborhood, living in genteel poverty after the father lost their money. Meg and Jo March, the elder sisters, both work outside the home for money to support the family. Meg teaches four children in a nearby family, while Jo aids her grand-aunt March, a wealthy widow whose strength is failing. Beth helps with housework, and Amy attends school. Their nearest neighbor is a wealthy man whose orphaned grandson lives with him. The sisters introduce themselves to the handsome shy boy, Laurie, who is the age of Jo.

"如果没有礼物,圣诞节就徒有其名。"琼生气地说。
“贫穷真是糟糕透了。”麦格边看着她的旧衣裙边表示赞同,
“有些女孩子有漂亮的东西,而其他女孩却什么都没有,这是不公平的。”小艾米说。
“我们有爸爸和妈妈,还有彼此。”白丝温文尔雅地说道。
"Christmas won't be Christmas without any presents," sad Jo crossly.
"It's so awful to be poor!" agreed Meg, looking at her old dress.
"It's not right for some girls to have pretty things, and others to have nothing at all," said little Amy. "We've got Father and Mother, and each other," said Beth gently.
