Then she stepped on Fox's other skate, bounced down the stairs, flew right out the front door, and ran smack¹ into Mrs. O'Hara.

然后她踩中了小狐的另一只溜冰鞋，滚下楼梯，飞出前门，撞进了奥哈拉太太的怀里。

"Poor Louise must hurt all over," said Doctor Ed.

“可怜的露易丝，摔得太狠了，”艾德医生说。

But Louise didn't cry. She didn't complain. Not even a peep.

但露易丝没有哭，她也没抱怨，连哼都没哼一声。

"Very brave," said Doctor Ed. "Very brave."

“真勇敢，”艾德医生说，“真勇敢。”

"Louise is tough," said Mom.

“露易丝很坚强，”妈妈说。

"Now then," said Doctor Ed. "What's the matter with Fox?"

“现在，”艾德医生说，“小狐摔哪儿了？”

"Oh, it's just a scratch," said Fox. "I don't like to make a fuss."

“哦，就是一点擦伤，”小狐说，“我不喜欢小题大做。”
