ANNE OF GREEN GABLES
Marilla saw Matthew in the front yard① and immediately rushed to② the door．But when her eyes fell on the odd little figure③ in the stiff，ugly④ dress，with the long red hair and the eager，bright eyes⑤，she froze⑥ in amazement⑦．“Matthew Cuthbert，who's that？” she asked．“Where is the boy？”
“There wasn't any boy，” said Matthew．“There was only her．”He nodded at⑧ the child，remembering that he had never even asked her name．
“No boy! But there must have been a boy，” insisted⑨ Marilla．“We sent word to Mrs Spencer to bring a boy．”
“Well，she didn't．She brought her．She arrived at the train station and couldn't be left there alone⑩．”
During this dialogue the child had remained silent ．Suddenly she seemed to grasp the full meaning of what had been said．She sprang forward a step and clasped her hands ．“You don't want me！” the girl cried．“You don't want me because I'm not a boy! I might have expected it．I might have known it was all too beautiful to last．I might have known nobody really did want me．Oh，what am I going to do I'm going to burst into tears ！”
Burst into tears she did．Sitting down on a chair by the table，throwing her arms on it，and burying her face in them，she proceeded to cry stormily ．Marilla and Matthew looked at each other．Neither of them knew what to say or do．Finally Marilla stepped in to try to comfort the child．“Well，well，there's no need to cry so about it．”
“Yes，there is need！” The child raised her head ，revealing a tear-stained face ．“You would cry，too，if you were an orphan and had come to a place you thought was going to be home and found that they didn't want you because you weren't a boy．”
“Well，don't cry anymore．We're not going to send you off tonight．You'll have to stay here until we investigate this affair．What's your name？”
“Anne，” said the child sadly．
“Well，come along ，Anne．It's dinner time．”They all sat down for dinner but Anne could not eat．She tried to enjoy the bread and butter and the apple jam out of the little glass dish by her plate but she had no appetite ．
“You're not eating anything，” said Marilla sharply ，eying her as if it were a serious problem[1]．Anne sighed．“I can't．I'm in the depths of despair ．Can you eat when you are in the depths of despair？”
[1]as if从句使用虚拟语气，表示与现在事实相反的假设。
“I've never been in the depths of despair，so I can't say，” responded Marilla．
“Weren't you Well，did you ever try to imagine you were in the depths of despair？”
“No，I didn't．”
“I guess she's tired，” said Matthew．“Best put her to bed ，Marilla．”
Marilla had been wondering where Anne should be put to bed．She decided on the small bedroom． She lit a candle and told Anne to follow her，which Anne did，taking her hat and bag from the hall table as she passed．The hall was perfectly clean ； the little room in which she found herself seemed still cleaner[2]．
[2]in which引导定语从句，修饰先行词the little room。
Marilla set the candle on a three-legged table and turned down the bedclothes．“Well，undress as quick as you can and go to bed．I'll come back in a few minutes for the candle．I daren't trust you to put it out yourself．You'd likely set the place on fire ．”
When Marilla had gone，Anne looked around her sadly．The whitewashed walls were so painfully bare ．The floor was bare，too．In one corner was the bed，a high，old-fashioned one of dark wood．Midway between table and bed was the window，with an icy white curtain over it．There was no restroom，but there was a wash stand with a faucet in the other corner．The whole room felt cold and unwelcoming，which sent a shiver through Anne's bones．With a sob she quickly undressed，put on her nightclothes and jumped into bed where she pressed her face down into the pillow and pulled the clothes over her head．
When Marilla came up for the light，she saw the untidy way the clothing had been thrown on the floor．She carefully picked up Anne's clothes，placed them neatly on a yellow chair，and then，taking up the candle，went over to the bed．“Good night，”she said，a little awkwardly ，but not unkindly．
Anne's white face and big eyes appeared over the bedclothes．“How can you call it a good night when you know it must be the very worst night I've ever had？” she said disapprovingly．Then she dived down into the bedclothes again．
To bed went Matthew．And to bed，when she had put her dishes away，went Marilla，frowning most resolutely．And up-stairs，in the east gable，a lonely，heart-hungry，friendless child cried herself to sleep．
绿山墙的安妮
玛丽拉看见马修到前院了，立刻冲到门口。但是，当她的目光落在那个穿着破旧、红色长发、眼睛热切明亮、模样古怪的小女孩身上时，她惊呆了。“马修·卡斯伯特，她是谁？那个男孩子呢？”她问道。
“没有男孩子，只有她在那里。”马修答道。他向那孩子点了点头，突然想起自己甚至还没有问过女孩儿的名字。
“没有男孩儿！可是一定得有个男孩儿。”玛丽拉坚持说，“我们给斯宾塞太太捎口信要带个男孩子来的呀。”
“嗯，她没有。斯宾塞太太只带来了这个孩子。她到了火车站，总不能把她一个人扔在那儿吧。”
俩人说话时，这孩子一声不吭。突然，她似乎完全明白了他们说话的意思，冲上前一步，双手紧握。“你们不想要我！”她大喊道，“你们不想要我，就因为我不是男孩儿！我早就应该料到。我早就应该知道这件事太美好，无法持久。我早就应该想到没人真的想要我。哦，我该怎么办呀？我马上就要哭出来了！”
她立刻哭了起来。一下坐到桌边的椅子上，扑到桌上，脸埋在臂弯里，号啕大哭。玛丽拉和马修面面相觑，都不知道该说什么，也不知道该做点儿什么。最后玛丽拉试着走上前安慰这个孩子。“好啦，好啦，没必要为这事儿哭成这样。”
“有，有必要！”那孩子抬起头，露出一张泪痕斑斑的脸。“如果你是个孤儿，来到一个满以为会成为自己家的地方，却发现他们并不想要你，因为你不是个男孩，你也会哭的。”
“好吧，别再哭了。今晚我们不会送你走的。在我们搞清楚这件事之前，你先待在这儿。你叫什么名字？”
“我叫安妮。”孩子悲伤地说。
“好的，来吧，安妮，该吃晚饭了。”他们都坐下来吃饭，但安妮吃不下。她试着吃点儿面包、黄油和摆在她盘子旁边小玻璃碟里的苹果酱，但一点胃口都没有。
“你什么都没吃。”玛丽拉严厉地说，眼睛盯着她，好像这是个严重的问题。安妮叹了口气。“我吃不下。我彻底绝望了。你彻底绝望的时候还能吃得下东西吗？”
“我从来没有完全绝望的时候，所以没法回答。”玛丽拉回答道。
“你没有过吗？好吧，那你有没有试着想象自己陷入了绝望的深渊？”
“不，没想过。”
“我想她一定是累了，”马修说，“最好让她去睡觉吧，玛丽拉。”
玛丽拉一直在想应该让安妮睡在哪里，最后决定安排在一间小卧室。她点了根蜡烛，让安妮跟着她。安妮跟了上来，路过大厅时从桌子上拿起自己的帽子和包。大厅非常干净；她发现自己进来的这间小屋似乎更干净。
玛丽拉把蜡烛放在一张三条腿的桌上，铺开床褥。“好了，赶快脱掉衣服上床睡觉吧。几分钟后我会回来拿蜡烛，我可不放心让你自己吹灭蜡烛，你很可能会放火烧了这个地方。”
玛丽拉走后，安妮悲伤地环顾四周。四周的墙壁粉刷得雪白，什么装饰也没有。地板上也空荡荡的，角落里有一张床，一张高高的老式深色木床。桌子和床的中间有一扇窗，窗上挂着一块冰白色的窗帘。房间里没有洗手间，但另一个角落有一个带水龙头的洗漱台。整个房间让人感到寒冷而陌生，安妮浑身打了个寒战。她抽泣着，迅速脱下衣服，穿上睡衣，跳到床上，把脸埋在枕头里，拉过棉被蒙住脑袋。
玛丽拉回来取蜡烛时，看到安妮的衣服乱七八糟地扔在地上，便仔细地捡起衣服，整齐地放在黄色的椅子上，然后拿起蜡烛，走到床边。“晚安。”她口气有些生硬，但透着一丝温情。
安妮从被子里露出苍白的脸蛋和大眼睛。“你明明知道这一定是我度过的最糟糕的一晚，还说什么晚安呢？”她反驳道。然后又钻进了被子里。
马修上床睡觉了。玛丽拉收拾完盘子，紧紧地皱着眉头，也回到房间休息了。楼上东山墙那边的房间里，一个孤独、心灰意冷、没有朋友的孩子，哭泣着进入了梦乡。

玛丽拉把蜡烛放在一张三条腿的桌上，铺开床褥。“好了，赶快脱掉衣服上床睡觉吧。几分钟后我会回来拿蜡烛，我可不放心让你自己吹灭蜡烛，你很可能会放火烧了这个地方。”
玛丽拉走后，安妮悲伤地环顾四周。四周的墙壁粉刷得雪白，什么装饰也没有。地板上也空荡荡的，角落里有一张床，一张高高的老式深色木床。桌子和床的中间有一扇窗，窗上挂着一块冰白色的窗帘。房间里没有洗手间，但另一个角落有一个带水龙头的洗漱台。整个房间让人感到寒冷而陌生，安妮浑身打了个寒战。她抽泣着，迅速脱下衣服，穿上睡衣，跳到床上，把脸埋在枕头里，拉过棉被蒙住脑袋。
玛丽拉回来取蜡烛时，看到安妮的衣服乱七八糟地扔在地上，便仔细地捡起衣服，整齐地放在黄色的椅子上，然后拿起蜡烛，走到床边。“晚安。”她口气有些生硬，但透着一丝温情。
安妮从被子里露出苍白的脸蛋和大眼睛。“你明明知道这一定是我度过的最糟糕的一晚，还说什么晚安呢？”她反驳道。然后又钻进了被子里。
马修上床睡觉了。玛丽拉收拾完盘子，紧紧地皱着眉头，也回到房间休息了。楼上东山墙那边的房间里，一个孤独、心灰意冷、没有朋友的孩子，哭泣着进入了梦乡。
