8 All play and no work
'The first of June,and the King family is going on holiday tomorrow!'said Meg.'I'm free for three months!
'And Aunt March went away for her holiday today,'said Jo.'Isn't life wonderful!'
'What will you do all your holiday?'asked Amy.
'I'll stay in bed late,and do nothing,'said Meg.
'I have lots of books to read,'said Jo.
'Let's not do any studying,Beth,'said Amy.'Let's play all the time,and rest,as Jo and Meg are going to do.'
'I will if Mother doesn't mind,'said Beth.
Mrs March agreed to the plan and said they could try it for a week.
'But,'she added,'I think by Saturday night you will find that all play and no work is as bad as all work and no play.'
Next day,Meg appeared at ten o'clock and ate breakfast alone.It was a lonely meal and the room was untidy,because Beth had not cleaned it.
8 只有玩乐没有工作
“今天是6月1号,金一家明天就要去度假了,”麦格说,“我有三个月的自由时间!”
“今天马奇姑妈也去度假了,”琼说,“生活真好啊!”
“你们整个假期做什么呢?”艾米问。
“我会睡懒觉,什么也不做,”麦格答道。
“我有许多的书要读,”琼说。
“咱们什么功课都不做了吧,白丝,”艾米说,“咱们所有时间都用来玩和休息,就像琼和麦格要做的那样。”
“如果妈妈不介意我就同意,”白丝说。
马奇太太同意了这个计划,并说她们可以试一个星期。
“但是,”她补充道,“我想到星期六晚上你们就会发现只有玩乐没有工作的生活就像只有工作没有玩乐一样糟糕。”
第二天,麦格10点钟才露面,独自用早餐。这是一顿孤寂的早餐,房间乱糟糟的,因为白丝没有整理过。
