小姑娘

" Kirsten , I've been waiting for this ever since you were a little girl," Dad replied.

"科尔斯顿，当你还是个小姑娘时我就盼着这一天了，"他回答到。

Legend has it that a teenage Lillie, who was born in 1843, was walking home from school one afternoon and came across the short-handed firemen of the Knickerbocker Engine Co. No.5 struggling to haul their engine up Telegraph Hill to a fire. She raced to help, pulling on the towrope and exhorting bystanders to pitch in.

传说这位1843年出生的十来岁的小姑娘，名字叫莉莉，一天下午，在她放学回家的路上，正好遇上纽约引擎救火5中队在把他们的救火设备拉到电报山上去救火，由于人手不够，她不仅自己冲上去帮忙拉救火管，而且她还鼓舞围观的群众一起帮忙。

Anyway, I mused, who would know; and after all, she was a good looking lass.

我深思着，不管怎样，谁会知道呢，毕竟，她是一个长得好看的小姑娘。

I give you best, lassie

我是服了你了，小姑娘。

Did You Ever See A Lassie?

你曾看见过一个小姑娘吗？

A small girl facing behind you and lie on the window,what is she doing?

一个小姑娘背对你倚在窗边，她在做什么？

He was very kind to his two employees. He loved children. He always favored me with a piece of caramel, mint, or lollypop when I came to his store. Saying "Here is a sweet for the sweetest little girl in New York."

他对两个雇员非常好，他很爱孩子，我到他的店时，他时不时会给我一块焦糖、薄荷糖或是棒棒糖什么的，嘴里还说着"这是给全纽约最甜美的小姑娘的糖"。

Poor little girl, she was very low-spirited; and when I told her that my London expedition had failed, she fairly broke down, and burst into a storm of sobs and lamentations, telling me that I ought not to have married her if I could give her nothing but poverty and misery; and that I had done her a cruel wrong in making her my wife.

可怜的小姑娘，她十分沮丧；当我告诉她，我的伦敦之行失败了，她的精神简直崩溃了，她爆发出呜咽和号啕大哭的风暴，对我说道：如果我只能给她带来贫穷和苦恼，我就不应该跟她结婚；我娶她为妻，就是残酷地虐待了她。

Really, it was pitiful to see that lovely child leaning night and day over her map of Germany, pinning little flags upon it, and struggling to lay out a glorious campaign: Bazaine besieging Berlin, Froissart in Bavaria, MacMahon on the Baltic.

这个漂亮的小姑娘看起来真叫人可怜，她日夜伏在那张德国地图上，把一些小旗插来插去，努力编造出一场场辉煌的战役；一会儿是巴赞元帅向柏林进军，一会儿是弗鲁瓦萨尔将军攻抵巴伐利亚，一会儿是麦克—马洪元帅挥戈挺进波罗的海海滨地区。

This is not a simple problem which could be solved by a tender and simple maiden just like me.

这不是我一个娇嫩、单纯的小姑娘可以解决的事。

I will endeavour to find you some assistance.

我尽力帮你找人帮忙。

At first I only know bruck is the idol of American younglings, afterwards I returned back to Taiwan ,even in Beijing last year ,I saw her poster everywhere, I was so surprised at her charm.

起初我只晓得布鲁克雷德丝是美国少男少女崇拜的偶像，后来回台湾，甚至去年在北京，居然也四处看见她的海报，才惊讶她的魅力之大。
