The next day Anne came home to find Marilla looking dejected." Are you tired, Marilla?"

" Did you see the optometrist?" asked Anne anxiously

But if I don't, I'll be blind in six months! Blind! Anne, just think of it."

“您不能卖掉绿山墙农舍，”安妮坚定地说，“您也不会一个人孤零零地待在这里，玛丽拉。我会陪着您。”

But Mrs. Lynde told Anne," I'm glad to hear you're not going, Anne

" But I'll teach at Carmody and study Latin and Greek at home, Mrs. Lynde!" said Anne laughing

旁白 neutral

" The school board gave you Avonlea School," Mrs. Lynde said

“校董会把埃文利学校给你了，”林德太太说。

旁白 neutral

Anne jumped to her feet." I thought they promised it to Gilbert Blythe!"

旁白 neutral

Are we going to be friends after this? Have you really forgiven me?"

When Anne came home later, Marilla asked curiously," Who was with you, Anne?"

后来安妮回到家时，玛丽拉好奇地问：“安妮，刚才是谁跟你在一起？”

旁白 neutral

旁白 neutral

" I didn't think you two were such good friends." Marilla smiled

“我还以为你们俩不是这么好的朋友呢。”玛丽拉笑了笑。

旁白 neutral
