Drag her away from her books when she reads too much. Make her ride her pony in the Row or go out and buy a new doll. She ought to play more with dolls."
如果她读得太多，可要把她拖开啊。让她骑小马上街去踏踏，或者出去买个新洋娃娃。她该多玩玩洋娃娃。”
"Papa," said Sara, "you see, if I went out and bought a new doll every few days I should have more than I could be fond of.
“爸爸，”萨拉说，“你知道，如果我每隔几天就上街买一个新洋娃娃，我会有那么多，都爱不过来了。
Dolls ought to be intimate friends. Emily is going to be my intimate friend."
洋娃娃应该成为亲密的朋友。埃米莉就要成为我的亲密朋友了。”

"Who is Emily?" she inquired. "Tell her, Sara," Captain Crewe said, smiling.
