10 句英文原文
" You see," she said," there could be a thick, soft blue Indian rug on the floor; and in that corner there could be a soft little sofa, with cushions to curl up on; and just over it could be a shelf full of books so that one could reach them easily; and there could be a fur rug before the fire, and hangings on the wall to cover up the whitewash, and pictures.
" Oh, Sara!" cried Lottie.
" I should like to live here!"
中文翻译
她也让洛蒂清楚地看到了它们。
洛蒂总是能相信萨拉画出来的那些东西。
“你看,”她说,“地板上可以铺一块厚实柔软的蓝色印度地毯;在那个角落里可以放一张柔软的小沙发,上面有靠垫可以蜷缩着;就在沙发上方可以有一个放满书的架子,这样伸手就能够到;壁炉前可以铺一块毛皮地毯,墙上可以挂上帷幔来遮盖白灰墙,还可以挂些画。”
它们必须是小房间,但可以很漂亮;可以有一盏带有深玫瑰色灯罩的灯;中间放一张桌子,上面摆着茶具;一个胖胖的小铜壶在炉架上歌唱;床也可以完全不同。
它可以被做得柔软,并覆盖上一条可爱的丝绸床罩。
它可能是美丽的。
也许我们可以哄骗那些麻雀,直到我们与它们成为如此亲密的朋友,以至于它们会飞来啄窗户,请求让它们进来。
“哦,萨拉!”洛蒂喊道。
“我真想住在这里!”
当萨拉说服她再次下楼,并在为她指明方向后,回到自己的阁楼时,她站在阁楼中央,环顾四周。
