"Well, how are you? I hope you're good children, are you?" said Aunt Glegg. "Put your hair behind your ears, Maggie, and keep your dress on your shoulder."

"I think the girl has too much hair," Aunt Pullet said. "It should be thinner and cut shorter. It isn't good for her health.

"Maggie," said Mrs Tulliver, "go and brush your hair."

A big idea was taking shape in Maggie's mind. "Tom, come out with me," she whispered.

"There's something I want to do before dinner."

Tom followed Maggie upstairs into their mother's room. She opened a drawer and took out a large pair of scissors.

"What are they for?" said Tom.

Maggie answered by taking the front part of her hair and cutting it straight across the middle of her forehead.

"Oh, Maggie, you'll be *in trouble!" exclaimed Tom.

Snip! went the scissors again, and Tom couldn't help feeling it was rather good fun. Maggie would look so weird.

"Here, Tom, cut it behind for me," said Maggie, excited by her own bravery.

"You'll be in trouble, you know," said Tom, as he took the scissors.

"Never mind, hurry!" said Maggie, giving a little *stamp with her foot. Her cheeks were red.

One delicious snip, and then another and another. The hair fell heavily on the floor, and Maggie stood there, badly *cropped but with a new sense of freedom.

in trouble: сәтсіздікке ұшырау; иметь непрятности

stamp: тепкілеу; топнуть

cropped: қысқыртылған; укороченные

2 What do you think happens next? How will Tom react to Maggie's appearance? How will the adults react?

2. Что, по-вашему, произойдет дальше? Как Том отреагирует на внешность Мэгги? Как отреагируют взрослые?

Ответ:

I think what happens next is that Maggie and Tom go downstairs for dinner. Tom will probably find Maggie's new haircut funny at first, because the text says he thought it was "rather good fun" and she would look "so weird". But he also knows they'll get in trouble, so he might be a bit nervous and maybe even try to say it was all Maggie's idea.

Я думаю, что дальше Мэгги и Том спустятся к ужину. Том, вероятно, сначала посчитает новую прическу Мэгги забавной, потому что в тексте говорится, что ему это показалось "довольно забавным", и она будет выглядеть "так странно". Но он также знает, что у них будут неприятности, поэтому он, возможно, будет немного нервничать и, может быть, даже попытается сказать, что это все была идея Мэгги.

The adults, especially her mother and aunts, will be shocked and very angry. They were already complaining about her hair. When they see it badly cut, they will probably yell at her. Maggie is definitely going to be in a lot of trouble.

Взрослые, особенно ее мать и тети, будут в шоке и очень разозлятся. Они и так уже жаловались на ее волосы. Когда они увидят, как плохо они подстрижены, они, вероятно, накричат на нее. У Мэгги определенно будут большие неприятности.
