Eight Cousins

Rose really did have some cause to be sad; for she had no mother, and had lately lost her father also, which left her no home but this with her great-aunts.

罗丝确实有理由难过；她没有母亲，最近又失去了父亲，除了与姑婆们同住之外，她无处为家。

Here she read a great deal, cried a little, and dreamed many of the innocent bright dreams in which imaginative children find such comfort and delight.

她在这里读了许多书，哭了一小会儿，又做了许多天真而明亮的梦——富有想象力的孩子们正是从这样的梦里获得慰藉与快乐。
