Oh, it was a wonderful pudding! They were all delighted with it.
噢，多好的布丁啊！他们看到它都很高兴。
‘It's your greatest success in all the years that we've been married, my dear! ’said Bob.
“亲爱的，这是我们结婚这么多年来你做的最成功的一件事！”鲍勃说。
‘Well, I did wonder how much fruit to put in it, ’said his wife, ‘but, yes, it's a good one! ’And she laughed just like a young girl.
“哎，我的确不知道里面该放多少水果，”他妻子说，“不过，是的，它很不错！”她像一个小姑娘似地乐了。
Nobody said that it was a very small pudding for a large family. Nobody even thought it. No Cratchit ever said or thought things like that.
没有人说这布丁太小，尤其对这么个大家庭来说。没有人这么想过。克拉奇蒂也没有说过或想过这样的事。
At last, when they had finished their meal, the children cleared the table and washed the plates. Then they all sat round the fire, eating apples and oranges. There was a large bowl of fruit and sugar and hot water and something a little stronger, but only three people could drink at the same time, because the family only owned two glasses and a cup. But this did not worry the Cratchits at all. Now Bob lifted his glass and said, ‘A merry Christmas to us all, my dears! God bless us! ’
最后，当他们吃完饭后，孩子们收拾好桌子并把碗洗干净了，他们团团围坐在炉火旁吃着苹果和桔子。有一大碗水果、糖、热水和略含酒精的东西，但只有三个人可以同时喝，因为他们家只有两个玻璃杯和一个茶杯，但克拉奇蒂一家并没因此而犯愁。鲍勃现在举起杯子说，“祝我们大家圣诞快乐，亲爱的！上帝保佑我们！”
The family repeated his wish, and Tiny Tim said, last of all, ‘God bless us every one! ’He sat very close to his father, on a small chair. Bob held his son's thin little hand in this own. The boy had a special place in his father's heart.
全家人重复着他的祝愿，最后，小蒂姆说，“愿上帝保佑我们每一个人！”他紧靠着爸爸坐在一把小椅子上。鲍勃手握着他儿子瘦小的手，这个男孩在他父亲的心目中占据着特殊的位置。
