What's up?" Phil said when she answered the door

怎么回事？”菲尔应门时问道。

旁白 neutral

" Priscilla and I are going to live in Patty's Place next winter," said Anne triumphantly

“普丽西拉和我明年冬天要住进帕蒂之家了，”安妮得意扬扬地说。

" We've rented it," Priscilla continued," and our friend Stella Maynard is coming, and she's moving in with us!"

“我们已经租下来了，”普丽西拉接着说，“而且我们的朋友斯特拉·梅纳德也要来，她会搬来和我们一起住！”

Suddenly Phil got down on her knees before Anne and Priscilla

菲尔突然在安妮和普丽西拉面前跪了下来。

旁白 neutral

" Oh, please let me come too! I'll be so good

旁白 neutral

If there's no room for me, I'll sleep in the little doghouse in the backyard! Please let me be your roommate!"

要是没地方住，我就睡在后院的小狗屋里！请让我做你们的室友吧！”

旁白 neutral

" Get up, silly!" said Anne. She then said slowly," Phil, we'd love that, but I'll be honest

“起来，傻丫头！”安妮说。然后她缓缓说道，“菲尔，我们当然愿意，但我实话实说。

旁白 neutral

You come from a wealthy family, and you live in an expensive boardinghouse, with fancy meals

Are you sure that you want a simple life, living with poor students?"

你确定想要过简朴的生活，和穷学生住在一起吗？"

旁白 neutral

" Oh, what do I care?" said Phil dramatically

旁白 neutral

" I'd live on bread and water — with just a little jam — if you'll let me move in."

"只要能让我搬进来，光啃面包喝凉水——就加一点点果酱——我都愿意。"

旁白 neutral

" Well, Phil, there would also be many chores to do," Anne continued

"嗯，菲尔，还会有很多家务活要做，"安妮接着说。

旁白 neutral

" At the moment you have a maid, but at Patty's Place, you would have to — "

旁白 neutral

" I'll learn how to cook and clean!" Phil interrupted

"我会学着做饭和打扫！"菲尔插话道。

" There's just one more thing," said Priscilla

"还有一件事，"普里西拉说。

旁白 neutral

" As all Redmond students know, Phil, you entertain visitors almost every evening

旁白 neutral

You have a very busy social life. Now at Patty's Place, we can't do that

你社交生活太忙碌了。但在派蒂小筑，我们可不能那样。

旁白 neutral

We have decided we'll have visitors on Friday evenings only. How does that sound?"

我们决定只在周五晚上接待访客。你觉得怎么样？

旁白 neutral

" Oh, that's fine," said Phil." I knew I should have had a rule like that, but I couldn't decide on what day! You know how indecisive I am!"

“哦，那太好了，”菲尔说，“我就知道该定这么个规矩，可就是定不下是哪一天！你知道我有多优柔寡断！”

旁白 neutral

" Well," said Anne," of course, we must check with Stella, but I'm sure she'll agree."

“嗯，”安妮说，“当然，我们还得问问史黛拉，不过我相信她会同意的。”

旁白 neutral

" And if you get tired of our simple life, you can move out of Patty's Place, and no questions asked," added Priscilla

“要是你厌倦了我们这种简单生活，随时可以搬出派蒂小筑，我们绝不追问，”普里西拉补充道。

旁白 neutral

Phil hugged them both jubilantly, and Anne and Priscilla went home to the boardinghouse

菲尔兴高采烈地拥抱了她俩，随后安妮和普里西拉便回寄宿宿舍去了。

旁白 neutral

" I hope things will be all right," said Priscilla soberly

旁白 neutral

" Phil's a great friend, but how will she be to live with?"

“菲尔是个好朋友，可跟她一起生活会是什么样呢？”

旁白 neutral

" Who knows how any of us will get along?" Anne pointed out

“谁知道我们谁又会相处得如何呢？”安妮指出。

旁白 neutral

" It's not as if Phil is selfish; she's just a little thoughtless. I think it will be fun!"

“菲尔又不是自私，她只是有点没心没肺。我觉得会很有趣的！”

旁白 neutral

At the end of the term, Anne won the English scholarship

学期结束时，安妮赢得了英语奖学金。

旁白 neutral

She was overjoyed since she could now support herself and not rely on Marilla

旁白 neutral

Anne went back to Avonlea for the vacation

安妮回到埃文利度假。

旁白 neutral

People told Anne she hadn't changed much, in a tone that hinted they were surprised and a little disappointed that she hadn't

人们告诉安妮她没怎么变，语气中透着惊讶，还有一丝失望她居然没变。

旁白 neutral

Avonlea had not changed either. At least, so it seemed

旁白 neutral

But then Anne learned that Billy Andrews had married Nettie Blewett

但随后安妮听说比利·安德鲁斯娶了妮蒂·布鲁伊特。

旁白 neutral

She saw them together in church on Sunday

星期天她在教堂看见他们在一起。

旁白 neutral

Anne's real surprise, though, was Ruby Gillis. What had happened to her?

但真正让安妮惊讶的，是鲁比·吉利斯。她怎么了？

旁白 neutral

She was as beautiful as ever, but her blue eyes were too bright, her cheeks were too flushed, and she was very thin

她美丽依旧，但蓝眼睛亮得过分，脸颊红得异常，而且瘦削得很。

旁白 neutral

" Is Ruby Gillis sick? She looks so different," Anne said to Mrs. Lynde as they walked home from church. Marilla frowned and looked sad

“鲁比·吉利斯病了吗？她看起来太不一样了。”从教堂走回家时，安妮对林德太太说。玛丽拉皱起眉头，神色忧伤。

旁白 neutral

Mrs. Lynde said bluntly," Ruby Gillis is dying of tuberculosis

林德太太直截了当地说：“鲁比·吉利斯得了肺结核，快不行了。

旁白 neutral

Everybody knows it except Ruby and her family. They won't admit it

这事除了鲁比和她家人，大家都知道，只是他们不肯承认。

旁白 neutral

If you ask them about Ruby, they say she's perfectly healthy."

要是你问起鲁比的情况，他们就说她身体非常好。”

旁白 neutral

Anne listened in shocked silence. Ruby Gillis, her old school friend, dying? Could it be possible?

安妮听后震惊得说不出话。鲁比·吉利斯，她的老同学，快要死了？这怎么可能？

旁白 neutral

In recent years they had grown apart, and Ruby and Anne had not talked as much as they used to

近年来她们渐渐疏远了，鲁比和安妮已经不像从前那样无话不谈。

旁白 neutral

But the old schoolgirl friendship was still there — fun, beautiful, silly Ruby!

但学生时代的友谊还在——那个有趣、美丽、傻乎乎的鲁比！

旁白 neutral

It was impossible to think of her and something as tragic as death in the same thought

根本没办法把她和死亡这种悲惨的事联系在一起。

旁白 neutral

Ruby had greeted Anne after church and urged her to come visit the next day

鲁比在教堂做完礼拜后跟安妮打了招呼，还催她第二天去家里玩。

旁白 neutral

Anne had agreed, and so the next evening, Diana and Anne walked to the Gillis' house

安妮答应了，于是第二天傍晚，戴安娜和安妮一起走去吉利斯家。

旁白 neutral

" It's so awful to hear Ruby chatting and pretending nothing is wrong," Diana told Anne

“听着鲁比有说有笑，装作没事的样子，真让人难受。”戴安娜对安妮说。

旁白 neutral

" Sometimes she can hardly speak because she's coughing so much."

“有时候她咳得那么厉害，话都快说不出来了。”

旁白 neutral

Diana and Anne arrived at the Gillis' home, where many young male visitors had already arrived

戴安娜和安妮到了吉利斯家，已经有不少年轻的男客先到了。

旁白 neutral

Everyone was in the parlor, and two young men from Avonlea, Leonard Kimball and Alan Bell, were competing for Ruby's attention

大家都在客厅里，两个埃文利的年轻人，伦纳德·金博尔和艾伦·贝尔，正争着讨鲁比的欢心。

旁白 neutral

Ruby was dressed in white, and her eyes and cheeks were bright

鲁比穿着一身白裙子，眼睛和脸颊都亮亮的。

旁白 neutral

She giggled and chatted with her male admirers for most of the evening

大半个晚上，她都在咯咯地笑着，跟她的男性仰慕者们聊着天。

旁白 neutral

At one point Ruby took Anne upstairs to her bedroom to show Anne some of her new summer clothes

后来鲁比带安妮上楼去她的卧室，给她看自己新做的夏装。

旁白 neutral

" How do you like my new white hat? It's the latest fashion

“你觉得我这顶新的白帽子怎么样？这可是最时髦的款式。

旁白 neutral

I liked the hat you wore to church yesterday."

我喜欢你昨天去教堂戴的那顶帽子。”

旁白 neutral

She turned, holding the hat to her head with one hand

她转过身，一只手把帽子举在头边。

旁白 neutral

" Anne, did you see those two Avonlea boys downstairs?

“安妮，你看到楼下那两个埃文利的小伙子了吗？

旁白 neutral

They're nice, but Tony Spencer is the one I really like. He couldn't come tonight."

他们人不错，可我最喜欢的还是托尼·斯宾塞。他今晚来不了。”

旁白 neutral

Ruby gave a shallow little laugh. Anne looked at the ground; she didn't know what to say

鲁比敷衍地轻轻一笑。安妮看着地面，不知道该说什么好。

旁白 neutral

Just for a moment her eyes met Ruby's, and Anne saw something that made her heart ache

就在那一瞬间，她的目光和鲁比相遇，安妮看到了某种让她心里一痛的东西。

旁白 neutral

" Come and see me while you're home, please, Anne?" whispered Ruby

“你在家这段时间，多来看看我，好吗，安妮？”鲁比轻声说道。

旁白 neutral

" I want to see you. I've missed having an old friend like you around..."

“我想见你。身边少了你这样的老朋友，我挺想你的……”

旁白 neutral

" Are you feeling all right, Ruby?" Anne asked

“你身体还好吗，鲁比？”安妮问道。

旁白 neutral

" Me?" Ruby replied." Why, I'm perfectly healthy, Anne

“我？”鲁比回答说，“哎呀，我身体非常健康啊，安妮。

旁白 neutral

Of course, last winter I had the flu, and I had a slow recovery, but now I am all right. I don't look sick, surely?"

当然啦，去年冬天我得了流感，恢复得慢了些，可现在已经完全好了。我看起来不像生病的样子吧？”

旁白 neutral

Ruby's voice was almost bitter, as if Anne had accused her of something

鲁比的声音几乎带着一丝怨气，好像安妮指责了她什么似的。

旁白 neutral

Then Ruby went quickly downstairs and talked just to the young men, as if Anne and Diana were not there

然后鲁比飞快地下楼，只跟那几个年轻男士说话，好像安妮和戴安娜根本不在场一样。
