“劳拉几乎无法停止期待,也许明天她可以和妹妹嘉利一起去上学”
这一句不看原文几乎无法理解,或许可以加一个“依旧”?明天她依旧可以和……
Sunday afternoon was clear, and the snow-covered
prairie sparkled in the sunshine. A little wind blew
gently from the south, but it was so cold that the
sled runners squeaked as they slid on the hard-packed
snow. The horses' hoofs made a dull sound, clop, clop,
clop. Pa did not say anything.
周日的午后,天气放晴,白雪覆盖下的大草原在阳光的
照耀下闪烁着银色的光芒。
一阵南风徐徐吹来,但是如此寒冷,少年们划着雪橇尖叫着从结冰的路面上呼啸而过。
马蹄敲打着雪地,发出沉闷的声响,哒,哒。。。。。爸爸什么也没说。
Sitting beside him on the board laid across the bobsled,
Laura did not say anything, either. There was
nothing to say. She was on her way to teach school.
坐到爸爸身边横搭在大雪橇的木板上,劳拉也没有说话。
事实上也没什么好说的。她即将踏上教书的道路。
Only yesterday she was a schoolgirl; now she was a
schoolteacher. This had happened so suddenly. Laura
could hardly stop expecting that tomorrow she would be
going to school with little sister Carrie, and sitting in her
seat with Ida Brown. But tomorrow she would be teaching
school.
就在昨天她还是一个学生,现在她已经是一名教师了。这一
切来得那么突然,劳拉几乎无法停止期待,也许明天她可以
和妹妹嘉利一起去上学,还有同桌的女孩艾达.布朗。可是明天,
她将站在讲台上讲课。

有什么要注意的地方,总是找不到最适合的词句。
虽然简单易懂,可是我觉得翻得有点问题。
