译文：十八年来，洁茹一直生活在孤儿院里，“家”到底是什麽样子，她根本无从想像！ 

　　五、原文：Just as Jerusha became lost in her thoughts, a little boy ran over looking for her and said that Mrs. Lippett wanted to see her immediately. A little upset, Jerusha headed towards the office, all the time in her heart thinking, What did I do wrong? Were the sandwiches not thin enough? Did the cherry cakes not taste right? Or did one of the Trustees notice the hole in little Susie's stockings?

　　译文：当洁茹正在发呆的时候，有一个小男孩跑来找洁茹，说李派特太太叫她赶快去。洁茹有些不安地朝办公室走去，心里一直在想：“我做错了什麽吗？是三明治切得不够薄？核桃糕的味道不够好？还是有董事大人看到了小苏西袜子上的破洞？”

　　六、原文：When Jerusha went downstairs, the light in the big empty hall was not yet on, but she caught a glimpse of the last Trustee getting into his car to leave the orphanage. It was too dark, however, to see the Trustee very clearlyshe could only get a good impression of him from the back. He was quite tall, and had long legs. He looked just like a big, dancing Daddy Longlegs that was calling for his ride home！

　　译文：洁茹下楼时，空荡荡大厅中的灯还未点亮，她刚好看见最後一位董事大人正准备坐进车子离去，但因光线太暗，她并没有看清楚他的样子，只是从他的背影中得到一个强烈的印象他很高，腿很长，简直就像一只舞动着长腿正在叫车的大蜘蛛！
