"Dear me, I didn't know anyone was here!" stammered Jo, preparing to back out as speedily as she had bounced in.
“噢，我不知道这里有人！”乔张口结舌，准备转身冲出去。
But the boy laughed and said pleasantly, though he looked a little startled, "Don't mind me, stay if you like."
但男孩笑了，愉快地说：“别管我，你喜欢就呆着吧，”尽管他看上去也有点吃惊。
"Shan't I disturb you?"
“我会打扰你吗？”
"Not a bit. I only came here because I don't know many people and felt rather strange at first, you know." "So did I. Don't go away, please, unless you'd rather."
“一点也不会。我进来是因为这里有很多人我都不认识，你知道一开始总有点陌生感。”“我也一样。请不要走开，除非你真的想这样。”
The boy sat down again and looked at his pumps, till Jo said, trying to be polite and easy, "I think I've had the pleasure of seeing you before. You live near us, don't you?"
男孩又坐下来，低头望着自己的浅口无带皮鞋。乔尽量用礼貌轻松的口吻说：“我想我曾幸会过阁下。阁下就住在我们附近吧？”
"Next door." And he looked up and laughed outright, for Jo's prim manner was rather funny when he remembered how they had chatted about cricket when he brought the cat home.
“隔壁。”他抬起头笑出声来，因为他想起了把猫送回她家时两人一起谈论板球的情景。相比之下，乔这副一本正经的神态显得十分逗趣。
That put Jo at her ease and she laughed too, as she said, in her heartiest way, "We did have such a good time over your nice Christmas present." "Grandpa sent it."
乔轻松下来，也笑了。她诚挚地说：“你送来的美妙的圣诞礼物真令我们开心极了。”“是爷爷送的。”
"But you put it into his head, didn't you, now?"
“但这是你出的主意，没错吧？”
"How is your cat, Miss March?" asked the boy, trying to look sober while his black eyes shone with fun.
“你的猫好吗，马奇小姐？”男孩试图严肃一点，但黑色眼睛里却闪着调皮的光芒。
"Nicely, thank you, Mr. Laurence. But I am not Miss March, I'm only Jo," returned the young lady.
“很好，谢谢，劳伦斯先生；不过我不是什么马奇小姐，我叫乔，”年轻女士答道。
