Annie Moffat did not forget her promised invitation, and one April day Meg went to stay at the Moffats' large house.

安妮·墨菲没有忘记她答应过的邀请，一个春日，麦格来到了墨菲家的大房子里。

The Moffats were very fashionable, and simple Meg was rather daunted, at first, by the splendor of the house and the elegance of its occupants.

莫法特一家是很时髦的，单纯朴素的梅格起先真有点被那座豪华的宅邸和住在里面的人的高雅风度吓住了。

Keeping that warning carefully in mind, Margaret got safely down stairs and sailed into the drawing rooms where the Moffats and a few early guests were assembled.

梅格把这些告诫小心地记在心里，安然下了楼，迅速进入起居室，莫法特太太和好几位早到的客人已聚集在那里。

" Of course not. Don't I always tell you everything? I was ashamed to speak of it before the younger children, but I want you to know all the dreadful things I did at the Moffats'."

“当然不要，我不是总把一切事情都告诉你的吗？在小妹妹面前我说不出口，但是我要你们知道我在莫法特家做过的所有糟糕透顶的事。”

Meg couldn't refuse the offer so kindly made, for a desire to see if she would be 'a little beauty' after touching up caused her to accept and forget all her former uncomfortable feelings toward the Moffats.

对于这样好心提出的建议，梅格觉得无法谢绝，因为想看看经过打扮后她究竟会不会变成“小美人”，她接受了，而且忘掉了她以前对莫法特一家人的不快之感。
