17 An Epoch in Anne’s Life

CHAPTER 17 An Epoch in Anne's Life One night as Anne was bringing in the cows from the field, Diana told Anne the most wonderful news. "You will never guess," Diana laughed. "Aunt Josephine has invited us to visit her in the city and see the fair. Can you believe it?" "It seems too wonderful," Anne squealed. "What if Marilla won't let me go? You know

第十七章安妮生活的新纪元一天晚上，当安妮把奶牛从地里牵回来的时候，戴安娜告诉了安妮一个极好的消息。 “你永远猜不到，”戴安娜笑着说。 “约瑟芬姨妈邀请我们去城里看望她，参观集市。 你能相信吗？”“太美妙了，”安妮尖叫道。 “如果玛丽拉不让我走怎么办？” 你知道

how she feels about concerts and the like." "We'll have my mother ask her," Diana said. "That's sure to help." And help it did. Marilla agreed to let Anne go. They got up bright and early for the thirty- mile ride to Charlottetown. Miss Barry met them at the door with a big hug. It was such a magical time. Anne and Diana saw all kinds of animals and crafts at the fair. They ate fresh-baked pie and watched as people from Avonlea won prizes, so there was plenty to cheer about. The high point for Anne was watching a man go up in a hot-air balloon. Another night, Miss Barry took them out for ice cream. It all seemed like heaven to Anne, but she was happy to return home to Avonlea and Green Gables. "I don't think I'm cut out for city life," she told Marilla. "I felt lonesome

without you and Matthew—not to mention the orchard and the Lake of Shining Waters." "I hope you thanked Miss Barry for her kindness," Marilla said. "Oh yes, I did. And she thanked us both for the visit, too. Miss Barry said she first thought you were an old fool for keeping an orphan girl. But now she's changed her mind. She said I was lovely to have around the house." "You shouldn't brag, Anne," Marilla scolded. "I'm not bragging, Marilla. That's exactly what she said." "Well, then, I guess I agree with Miss Barry.

没有你和马修——更不用说果园和闪光湖了。” “我希望你感谢了巴里小姐的好意，”玛丽拉说。 “哦，是的，我看到了。她也感谢我们俩的来访。 巴里小姐说她一开始以为你是个老傻瓜收留了一个孤儿。 但现在她改变了主意。 她说有我在家里真好。” “你不应该吹牛，安妮，”玛丽拉责备道。 “我不是在吹牛，玛丽拉。 她就是这么说的。” “好吧，那么，我想我同意巴里小姐的看法。 你能回家，我真是太高兴了。”
