13 Anne to the Rescue

CHAPTER 13 Anne to the Rescue The Canadian prime minister came to Prince Edward Island to give a speech. Most of Avonlea—including Marilla, Rachel Lynde, Diana's parents, and Aunt Josephine —traveled the thirty miles to hear him. Marilla wasn't worried about leaving Anne and Matthew alone overnight. The girl was so sad and quiet lately—it was hard to lose a

第13章安妮前来救援加拿大总理来到爱德华王子岛发表演讲。 埃文利的大多数人——包括玛丽拉、雷切尔·林德、戴安娜的父母和约瑟芬姨妈——都不远万里赶来听他的演讲。 玛丽拉不担心让安妮和马修单独过夜。 这个女孩最近很悲伤，很安静，很难失去一个

best friend. Diana wasn't even allowed to speak to Anne at school. Every night Anne came home and told the Cuthberts all the things she and Diana did not do. And so, Anne and Matthew found themselves alone by the fire one winter's night. She was struggling with her math homework. "Matthew, did you study math in school?" she asked. "Sure," he replied. "Don't know that I remember much, though." "I wish you did. These are very hard. I hate to think that Gilbert will get them all right and I won't." "Well, no," Matthew shifted in his chair. "Mr. Phillips told me last week that you were 'making rapid progress.'" Anne and Matthew's talk was cut short by

最好的朋友。戴安娜甚至不被允许在学校和安妮说话。 每天晚上安妮回到家，把她和戴安娜没有做过的事都告诉卡斯伯特夫妇。 于是，一个冬夜，安妮和马修发现他们俩就在火炉旁。 她正在努力做数学作业。 “马修，你在学校学数学吗？”她问。 “当然，”他回答。“不过我不知道我还记得多少。” “我倒希望你这么做了。这些都很硬。 我讨厌认为吉尔伯特会把它们都弄好，而我不会。” “嗯，不，”马修在椅子上动了动。 “菲利普斯先生上周告诉我，你‘进步很快’。’”安妮和马修的谈话被打断了

a banging on the door. Diana stood there, white-faced and breathless. She had only a shawl thrown over her shoulders. "Diana!" Anne ran to the door. "What's the matter?" "It's Minnie!" Diana cried. "She's so sick. She has the croup! Mary-Jo Spencer is staying with us while Mother and Father are away, but she doesn't know what to do. Oh, Anne, Minnie is just a baby. I'm so scared." Matthew grabbed his coat and hat and left without a word. "He's gone for the doctor," Anne said as she got her coat. "He doesn't have to say a word. I just know." "He'll have to go all the way to Carmody," Diana said. "Dr. Blythe went to town—and I think Dr. Blair did, too." "There's no time to talk." Anne took Diana's hand. "I know what to do. Don't

敲门声。戴安娜站在那里，脸色苍白，上气不接下气。 她只披了一条披肩。 “戴安娜!”安妮跑到门口。 “怎么啦？”“这是米妮!”黛安娜哭了。 “她病得很重。她有一群人！玛丽-乔·斯宾塞在爸爸妈妈不在家的时候和我们住在一起，但她不知道该怎么办。 安妮，米妮只是个孩子。 我好害怕。”马修抓起外套和帽子，二话没说就走了。 “他去请医生了，”安妮一边拿外套一边说。 “他什么也不用说。 我就是知道。”“他得一路走到卡莫迪，”戴安娜说。 “布莱斯医生进城去了——我想布莱斯医生是进城去了。 布莱尔也是。”“没时间说话了。” 安妮握住黛安娜的手。“我知道该怎么做。 不

forget, I looked after three sets of twins. They always got the croup." The two girls ran through the woods to the Barrys'. Minnie, aged two, was truly sick. Mary-Jo paced the floor with the crying baby in her arms. "She's pretty sick," Anne said, "but I've seen worse." Anne set to work right away.

忘了吧，我照顾过三对双胞胎。 他们总是能得到大家的支持。” 两个女孩穿过树林跑到巴里家。 两岁的敏妮病得很重。 玛丽-乔抱着哭闹的婴儿在地板上踱来踱去。 “她病得很重，”安妮说，“但我见过更严重的。” 安妮马上开始工作。

She ordered Mary-Jo to heat some water. Diana put her sister to bed. Anne fixed up the medicine and started the long night of helping Minnie. It was a long night and very hard work. Anne and Diana fed Minnie her medicine and kept her warm. Matthew and the doctor finally arrived at three in the morning. Matthew had to go all the way to Carmody to find him, and the trip was a long one. The doctor examined Minnie. He said that the danger had passed. "You've done a fine job, Miss Shirley," he said. "I was very worried for a while there," Anne admitted. "Although I said nothing to Diana or Mary-Jo." Matthew and Anne walked back to Green Gables in the bright moonlight. Even though she was very tired, she couldn't stop talking.

她命令玛丽-乔热些水。 黛安娜把妹妹放到床上。 安妮准备好了药，开始了帮助敏妮的漫漫长夜。 这是一个漫长的夜晚，非常辛苦的工作。 安妮和戴安娜给敏妮喂药，并让她保持温暖。 马修和医生终于在凌晨三点到达。 马修不得不一路跑到卡莫迪去找他，这趟路很长。 医生给敏妮做了检查。 他说危险已经过去了。 “你做得很好，雪莉小姐，”他说。 “有一段时间我非常担心，”安妮承认。 “不过我对黛安娜和玛丽-乔什么也没说。” 马修和安妮在明亮的月光下走回格林·盖布尔斯。 尽管她很累，她还是说个不停。
