14 Miss Stacy and Her Pupils Put On a Concert

CHAPTER 14 Miss Stacy and Her Pupils Put On a Concert The new school year started with much excitement. As soon as Anne met Miss Stacy, she knew her new teacher would be wonderful. "You would love her voice, Marilla," Anne said. As always, she told every single detail

第十四章史黛西小姐和她的学生举行音乐会新学年在一片激动人心的气氛中开始了。 安妮一见到史黛西小姐，就知道她的新老师会很棒。 “你会喜欢她的声音的，玛丽拉，”安妮说。 像往常一样，她把每一个细节都讲了出来

about her day. "When she reads poems out loud it's perfectly lovely!" Marilla continued with her work, rolling out piecrusts. She was used to hearing Anne's constant chatter. Anne enjoyed her studies a great deal— even math didn't seem so awful. She still had to devote more time to it than other subjects. But she finally could make sense of it. She felt like all her hard work was paying off. "Miss Stacy said we'll be putting on a play this year. And would you believe it, Marilla? I'm to play the Fairy Queen! The whole class clapped when she told us. I'm ever so nervous and excited. I've already learned some of my lines—even though it's not until Christmastime." Poor Matthew! Having Anne in a play meant Green Gables was often filled with excited, giggling girls. He was so shy that he

关于她的一天。“当她大声朗读诗歌的时候，真是太可爱了！”玛丽拉继续做着她的工作，把馅饼皮擀开。 她听惯了安妮喋喋不休的唠叨。 安妮非常喜欢她的学习，甚至数学似乎也不那么可怕。 她仍然要花比其他科目更多的时间在这上面。 但她终于明白了。 她觉得她所有的努力都得到了回报。 “史黛西小姐说我们今年要上演一出戏。 你相信吗，玛丽拉？ 我要扮演仙女女王！当她告诉我们时，全班都鼓掌了。 我既紧张又兴奋。 我已经学会了一些台词——尽管直到圣诞节才学会。” 可怜的马太福音!有了安妮的演出，格林·盖布尔斯就常常挤满了兴奋、咯咯笑的女孩。 他太害羞了

could barely say "hello." One day, while watching them put on their coats, he noticed something strange. All the girls wore pretty, frilly dresses with puffed sleeves. All except Anne. Her dress was plain with straight lines and an apron. For the first time, Matthew noticed that Anne was dressed the same as Marilla. Matthew was determined to get Anne a dress with puffed sleeves. The very next day, he went to the store in Avonlea to buy one. But he didn't have the nerve to talk to the salesgirl. So Matthew went to Mrs. Lynde's to see if she could make Anne a dress. "I'd like it to be a surprise, if you don't mind," he said. "For Anne and Marilla." "Don't you worry about a thing," Mrs. Lynde said. "I think it's time that girl had something new to wear. Marilla dresses her

连“你好”都不会说。一天，当他看着他们穿外套的时候，他注意到了一些奇怪的事情。 所有的女孩都穿着漂亮的褶皱袖子连衣裙。 除了安妮。她的衣服朴素，线条笔直，系着围裙。 马修第一次注意到安妮和玛丽拉穿得一样。 马修决定给安妮买一件蓬松袖子的衣服。 第二天，他就去埃文利的商店买了一只。 但是他没有勇气和女售货员说话。 所以马修去了林德太太家，看她能不能给安妮做一件裙子。 “如果你不介意的话，我想给你一个惊喜，”他说。 “给安妮和玛丽拉的。”“你什么都不用担心，”林德太太说。 “我觉得那个女孩是时候换件新衣服了。 玛丽拉给她穿衣服

like an old lady." Matthew surprised Anne with her new dress on Christmas morning. The night before, Marilla learned of the present and wasn't too pleased. "She shouldn't be thinking about silly things like pretty dresses," Marilla said. Matthew didn't expect Anne's reaction, though. When she burst into tears, he thought he must have done something wrong. "Do-do you n-not like them, Anne?" Matthew stuttered. "Oh, Matthew." Anne could barely get the words out. She draped the dress over the back of a chair. It was dark brown with a matching silk headband. She stared at it with her hands clasped in front of her. "It's the most beautiful, most wonderful, most perfect dress I have ever seen!"

像个老太太。”圣诞节早晨，马修用她的新衣服给安妮带来了惊喜。 前一天晚上，玛丽拉得知了这件事，她不太高兴。 玛丽拉说：“她不应该想着漂亮的衣服这种愚蠢的事情。” 马修没想到安妮会有这样的反应。 当她突然大哭起来时，他想他一定是做错了什么事。 “你——你——你不喜欢他们吗，安妮？”马太福音口吃。 “哦,马修。”安妮几乎说不出话来。 她把裙子搭在椅背上。 它是深棕色的，配着与之相配的丝质发带。 她盯着它，双手紧握在胸前。 “这是我见过的最漂亮、最美妙、最完美的裙子！”

Anne threw her arms around Matthew's neck and kissed his cheek. "And puffed sleeves, Matthew! It's everything I dreamed it would be." Matthew blushed more than ever. "Well now, Anne," he said. "That's just grand." Marilla watched from the side. She was surprised to realize she was quite happy about it. She could even feel her eyes well up a bit. Marilla quickly announced they should sit down for breakfast and stop this silliness. She was in the kitchen before they could notice her wiping her eyes. On the night of the Avonlea school play, Anne wore her new brown dress. She stood on stage and read her lines with confidence. "Did you see Gilbert?" Diana asked afterward. "Diana," Anne said haughtily, "you know that I have no time for that boy."

安妮伸出双臂搂住马修的脖子，吻了他的脸颊。 “还有吹袖子，马修！”这一切都是我梦想的。” 马修脸红得更厉害了。 “好了，安妮，”他说。 “太棒了。”玛丽拉在一旁看着。 她惊讶地发现自己对此很高兴。 她甚至觉得自己的眼睛有点湿润了。 玛丽拉赶紧宣布他们应该坐下来吃早饭，别再胡闹了。 他们还没注意到她在擦眼睛，她就进了厨房。 在埃文利学校演出的那天晚上，安妮穿着她的棕色新裙子。 她站在舞台上，自信地念着台词。 “你看到吉尔伯特了吗？”戴安娜事后问道。 “戴安娜，”安妮傲慢地说，“你知道我没有时间照顾那个男孩。”

"But Anne," Diana said, "as you left the stage, a flower fell from your bouquet. I saw Gilbert— with my own eyes—pick it up and put it in his pocket. Isn't that lovely?" "It's of no concern of mine what he does," Anne replied. "Please don't even bother to mention his name to me. I simply don't care." Diana looked at her best friend and thought perhaps there was a bit more to this story. It was hard to settle down after the excitement of the school play. Anne decided that they should form a story club. "We simply can't go back to life before the

“但是安妮，”戴安娜说，“当你离开舞台时，一朵花从你的花束上掉了下来。 我亲眼看到吉尔伯特把它捡起来放进口袋里。 那不是很可爱吗？”“他做什么与我无关，”安妮回答。 “请不要在我面前提起他的名字。 我根本不在乎。”黛安娜看着她最好的朋友，心想也许这个故事没有那么简单。 在学校演出的激动之后，很难平静下来。 安妮决定他们应该成立一个故事俱乐部。 “我们根本无法回到地震之前的生活。
