5 . Queen's College 女王學院
One day Marilla said , ' Anne your new teacher ,Miss Stacy , spoke to me yesterday . She says you must study for the examinations for Queen's College in two year's time. Then if you do well , you can study at Queen's in Charlott-town for a year , and after that you'll be a teacher ! '
一天，瑪麗拉說：“安妮，你的新老師，斯塔西小姐昨天跟我談了談。她說你必須準備參加兩年后的女王學院入學考試。如果你考得好，可以在夏洛特鎮(zhèn)的女王學院學習一年，然后成為一名教師?！?/p>
' Oh Marilla ! I'd love to be a teacher ! But won't it be very expensive ? '
“哦，瑪麗拉！我喜歡當老師！可那是不是太貴了！”
' That doesn't matter , Anne . When Matthew and I adopted to look after you as well as we could . Of course we'll pay for you to study.'
“那沒關系，安妮。3年前馬修和我收養(yǎng)你的時候，我們決定盡力照顧你。我們當然會花錢讓你上學?！?/p>
So in the afternoons Anne and some of her friends stayed late at school, and Miss Stacy helped them with the special examination work . Diana didn't want to go to Queen's , so she went home early ,but Gilbert stayed . He and Anne still never spoke and everybody knew that they were enemies , because they both wanted to be first in the examination . Secretly ,Anne was sorry that she and Gilbert weren't friends, but it was too late now.
這樣，每天下午，安妮和她的一些小伙伴在學校呆到很晚，斯塔西小姐幫助她們準備考試。戴安娜不準備去女王學院上學，因此她很早就回家，可吉爾伯特留了下來。他和安妮還是不說話，每個人都知道她們是敵人，因為他們都想在考試中獲得第一名。安妮為她沒有和吉爾伯特成為朋友暗暗感到后悔，但已經太晚了。
For two years Anne studied hard at school . She enjoyed learning , and Miss Stacy was pleased with her . But she didn't study all the time . In the evenings and at weekends she visited her friends , or walked through the fields with Diana , or sat talking to Matthew.
安妮在學校里刻苦學習了兩年。她愛學習，斯塔西小姐對她很滿意。但她并非把所以時間都花在學習上。晚上或周末的時候，她去拜訪朋友，或與戴安娜在田野里散步，或坐著與馬修聊天。
' Your Anne is a big girl now . She's taller than you , ' Rachel Lynde told Marilla one day.
一天，蕾切爾?林德對瑪麗說：“你們的安妮現在已經成了大孩子了?，F在她比你還高了。”
' You're right Rachel ! ' said Marilla in surprise.
“是的，蕾切爾！”瑪麗拉有點驚訝地回答。
' And she's a very good girl now , isn't she ? She doesn't get into trouble these days . I'm sure she help you a lot with the housework , Marilla. '
“她是個好姑娘了，不是嗎？現在她不再惹麻煩。我想她幫你干很多的家務活，瑪麗拉?！?/p>
' Yes , I don't know what I'd without her , ' said Marilla , smiling.
“對，我不知道沒有她我該怎么辦，”瑪麗拉笑著說。
' And look at her ! Those beautiful grey eyes , and that rebrown hair ! You know , Marilla , I thought you and Matthew made a? mistake when you adopted her . But now I see I was wrong . You've looked after her very well . '
“看看她現在！那雙漂亮的灰色眼睛和紅褐色頭發(fā)！你知道，瑪麗拉，你們剛剛收養(yǎng)她的時候，我覺得你們范了一個錯誤?？涩F在我知道我錯了。你們把她照看得真好?！?/p>
' Well , thank you , Rachel , ' replied Marilla , pleased.
“哦，謝謝，蕾切爾，”瑪麗拉高興地回答。
That evening , when Matthew came into the kitchen , he saw that his sister was crying.
那天晚上，當馬修走進廚房的時候，看見他的妹妹正在哭泣。
' What's the matter ?' he asked, surprised . ' You haven't cried since ... well , I can't remember when .'
“發(fā)生什么事了？”他吃驚的問道?！澳闵弦淮蔚粞蹨I是在……哎，我也想不起來是什么時候了?！?/p>
' It's just ... well ,I was thinking about Anne,' said Marilla. ' I'll ... I'll miss her when she gose away.'
“只是因為……我在想關于安妮的事”瑪麗拉說道?！八吡艘院笪視視肽钏?。”
' When she gose to Queen's, you mean ? Yes , but she can come home at weekends , on the train .? '
“你的意思是當她去女王學院的時候？是的，但周末的時候她可以坐火車回來。”
' I'll still miss her ' said Marilla sadly.
“但我還是會想念她，”瑪麗拉難過的說。
In June the Avonlea boys and girls had to go to Charlottetown to take their examinations.
六月里，埃文利村的男孩子和女孩子們必須去夏洛特鎮(zhèn)參加考試。
' Oh , I do hope that? I've done well, ' Anne told Diana when she arrived back at Green Gables. ' The examinations were very diffcult . And I've got to wait for three weeks before I know ! Three weeks ! I'll die!
“噢，我真希望我考得好，”安妮回到格林?蓋布爾斯后對戴安娜說?！翱荚嚪浅ｋy。而且我還得等3周才能知道成績！3周?。∥視彼赖?！”
Anne wanted to do better than Gilbert . But she also wanted to do well Matthew and Marilla . That was very important to her.
安妮希望超過吉爾伯特。但她也希望為馬修和瑪麗拉爭氣。這對她很重要。
Diana was the first to hear the news . She ran into the kitchen at Green Gables and shouted , ' Look , Anne ! It's in Father's newspaper ！You're first... with Gilbert... out of all the students on the island !Oh , how wonderful ! Anne took the paper with shaking hands , and saw her name , at the top of the list of two hundred . She could not speak.
戴安娜是最先聽到消息的。她跑進格林?蓋布爾斯的廚房高喊道：“看，安妮！登載在父親的報紙上！你是第一名……還有吉爾伯特……超過了島上所有的學生！哦，多棒?。“材萦妙澏兜氖纸舆^了報紙，看到了自己的名字在200個學生的名單中排在首位。她激動的說不出話。
' Well , now , I knew it ,' said Matthew with a warm smile.
“好，現在，我終于聽到這好消息了，”馬修面帶微笑地說。
' You've done well ,I must say , Anne ' said Marilla , who was secretly very pleased.
“我必須說，你干得很出色。安妮，”瑪麗拉說，她的心里暗暗高興。
For the next three weeks Anne and Marilla were very busy . Anne need new dresses to take to Charlottetown.
在隨后的3周時間里，瑪麗拉和安妮非常的忙碌。安妮需要一些新衣服帶到夏洛特鎮(zhèn)去。
The evening before she left , she put on one of her new dresses to show Matthew . Marilla watched the happy young face . She remembered the strange , thin little child , with her sad eyes ,who arrived at Green Gables five years ago , and she started crying quietly.
出發(fā)的前一天晚上，安妮穿上一件新衣服給馬修看?，旣惱嗽斨材菽贻p快樂的臉。她回憶起5年前到格林?蓋布爾斯來的那個奇怪、瘦弱、眼神憂傷的女孩，瑪麗拉輕聲的哭了起來。
' Marilla , why are you crying ? ' asked Anne .
“瑪麗拉，您怎么哭了？”安妮問。
' I was just thinking of you when you were a little girl , ' said Marilla . ' And... you're going away now... and I'll be lonely without you '
“我只是想起了你小的時候，”瑪麗拉回答。“而你……你現在就要走了……沒有你我會感到孤單的?！?/p>
Anne took Marilla's face in her hands , ' Marilla , nothing will change , Perhaps I'm bigger and older now , but I'll always be your little Anne . And I'll love you and Matthew and Green Gables more every day of my life. '
安妮雙手捧著瑪麗拉的面頰?！艾旣惱磺卸疾粫淖?。也許我長大一些了，但我永遠是您的小安妮。這輩子我每天都會更愛您、馬修和格林?蓋布爾斯的?！?/p>
