11 A Tempest in the School Teapot

CHAPTER 11 A Tempest in the School Teapot Suddenly it was September and time for school. This was Anne's first chance to attend school with other children, and she was both nervous and excited. Marilla watched her walk down the lane. Anne was such an odd girl, Marilla hoped she'd be able to get along with the other children.

第十一章学校茶壶里的暴风雨突然间到了九月，该上学了。 这是安妮第一次有机会和其他孩子一起上学，她既紧张又兴奋。 玛丽拉看着她沿着小巷走去。 安妮是一个很古怪的女孩，玛丽拉希望她能和其他孩子和睦相处。

When Anne returned home that night, Marilla knew she had nothing to worry about. "I'm a little behind in my reading but it won't take me long to catch up. Math will be a bit harder, though." Anne ate the cookies Marilla had baked in honor of this special day. "I met so many lovely girls but I, of course, still love Diana best. And Jane Andrews told me Minnie MacPherson told her she heard Prissy Andrews tell Sara Gillis I had a very pretty nose. Wasn't that lovely? Do you think it's true, Marilla? Do I have a pretty nose?" "Your nose is nice enough," said Marilla shortly. Secretly she thought Anne's nose was pretty but she had no intention of telling her so. "Mr. Phillips is quite strict and he pays

那天晚上安妮回到家时，玛丽拉知道她没什么好担心的。 这个人说：“我的阅读有点落后，但很快就会赶上来。 不过数学会有点难。” 安妮吃了玛丽拉为纪念这个特殊的日子烤的饼干。 “我遇到了很多可爱的女孩，但我当然还是最爱戴安娜。 简·安德鲁斯告诉我明妮·麦克弗森告诉她她听到碧西·安德鲁斯对莎拉·吉利斯说我的鼻子很漂亮。 那不是很可爱吗？你认为这是真的吗，玛丽拉？ 我的鼻子漂亮吗？”“你的鼻子很漂亮。”玛丽拉简短地说。 她私下里觉得安妮的鼻子很漂亮，但她不打算告诉她。 “菲利普斯先生很严格，他付了钱

more attention to the older children," Anne said. "Anne," Marilla scolded. "You shouldn't speak about your teacher like that." "Oh, I'm not saying an untruth, Marilla," Anne insisted. "You can ask anyone." A few weeks passed and all had gone smoothly. Then one morning as they walked down the road, Diana said, "I guess Gilbert Blythe will be in school today. He's been visiting his cousins in New Brunswick all summer." "Gilbert Blythe?" Anne remembered hearing the name at school. "His father is the town doctor and he's ever so handsome. He's two years older than us but in our grade because he took two years off when his father was sick. They went to Alberta and Gilbert didn't go to school. He's very clever, though, Anne. You'll have a

更多地关注年龄较大的孩子，”安妮说。 “安妮，”玛丽拉责备道。“你不应该那样说你的老师。” “哦，我没有说谎，玛丽拉，”安妮坚持说。 “你可以问任何人。”几个星期过去了，一切都很顺利。 一天早上，她们走在路上，戴安娜说：“我想吉尔伯特·布莱斯今天会在学校。 整个夏天他都在新不伦瑞克看望他的表兄妹。” “吉尔伯特·布莱特?”安妮记得在学校听到过这个名字。 “他的父亲是镇上的医生，他非常英俊。 他比我们大两岁，但在我们这个年级，因为他父亲生病时他请了两年假。 他们去了阿尔伯塔，吉尔伯特没有上学。 不过他很聪明，安妮。 你会有一个

tough time beating him for Head of the Class." "I'm glad," said Anne quickly. "I prefer the challenge. It doesn't mean as much to beat only little kids in the spelling bee." During class, Diana leaned close to Anne. "That's Gilbert at the back of the room," she said. He was a tall boy with curly brown hair. Anne watched as he pulled the braids of Ruby Gillis when she tried to stand up. He looked right at Anne afterward and winked. "I think your Gilbert Blythe is handsome," confided Anne to Diana, "but very bold. It isn't polite to wink at a strange girl." That afternoon as Anne worked hard on her math problems, Gilbert tried to get her attention. He wasn't used to having to work so hard at it. This was something new for him.

要在班长的竞选中打败他可真不容易。” “我很高兴，”安妮赶紧说。 “我更喜欢挑战。在拼字比赛中打败小孩子并不意味着什么。” 上课时，黛安娜靠近安妮。 “坐在房间后面的是吉尔伯特，”她说。 他是一个高个子男孩，棕色的卷发。 当鲁比·吉利斯试图站起来时，安妮看着他拉着她的辫子。 后来他直勾勾地看着安妮，使了个眼色。 “我觉得你的吉尔伯特·布莱斯很帅，”安妮向戴安娜吐露道，“但很大胆。 对陌生女孩使眼色是不礼貌的。” 那天下午，当安妮在努力做数学题时，吉尔伯特试图引起她的注意。 他不习惯这么努力地学习。 这对他来说是新鲜事。

Gilbert reached across the aisle and picked up the end of Anne's long red braid. Holding it out at arm's length, he said in a whisper, "Carrots! Carrots!" Anne heard him this time. She looked angrily back at him. "You mean boy!" she cried. "How dare you!" And then—Thwack! Anne brought her slate down on Gilbert's head and cracked it— slate, not head—in two.

吉尔伯特穿过过道，拿起安妮长长的红辫子的末端。 他把它举到一臂远的地方，低声说：“胡萝卜！胡萝卜!”安妮这次听到了。 她生气地回望着他。 “你这个坏孩子！”她叫道。 “你怎么敢！”和then-Thwack !安妮把她的石板放在吉尔伯特的头上，把它劈成了两截——是石板，不是头。

The Avonlea school always enjoyed a scene and this was a good one. There were "oohs" and gasps around the room. The teacher, Mr. Phillips, stormed up to Anne. "Anne Shirley, what does this mean?" he said angrily. Anne did not answer. It was too much to tell the whole class that Gilbert called her "carrots." "It was my fault," Gilbert said. "I teased her." Mr. Phillips paid no attention to Gilbert. "It's a great disappointment to see a pupil behaving like this," Mr. Phillips said. "Anne, go and stand on the platform in front of the blackboard for the rest of the afternoon." With a sad, white face, Anne did as she was told. On the blackboard Mr. Phillips wrote, twice, "Ann Shirley has a very bad temper." It was a terrible punishment for

埃文利学校总是乐在其中，这一幕也很精彩。 房间里响起了“哦”声和喘息声。 老师菲利普斯先生怒气冲冲地走到安妮面前。 “安妮·雪莉，这是什么意思？”他生气地说。 安妮没有回答。让全班同学都知道吉尔伯特叫她“胡萝卜”实在是太过分了。 “这是我的错，”吉尔伯特说。 “我逗她。”菲利普斯先生没有注意到吉尔伯特。 菲利普斯说：“看到一个学生这样做，我感到非常失望。” “安妮，下午剩下的时间都站在黑板前的讲台上。” 安妮带着悲伤、苍白的脸，照吩咐做了。 菲利普斯先生在黑板上写了两次：“安·雪莉的脾气很坏。” 这是一种可怕的惩罚
