English → Chinese CHAPTER I. Mrs. Rachel Lynde Is Surprised Level 6/10

Rachel found abundant time to sit for hours at her kitchen window, knitting "cotton warp" quilts--she had knitted sixteen of them, as Avonlea housekeepers were wont to tell in awed voices--and keeping a sharp eye on the main road that crossed the hollow and wound up the steep red hill beyond.

雷切尔有的是时间，能在厨房窗边一坐数小时，编织"棉经"被子——她已经编了十六条，埃文利的家庭主妇们每每提及此事，无不肃然敬佩——同时还密切注视着那条穿越洼地、蜿蜒而上、通往远处那座陡峭红山的大路。

Since Avonlea occupied a little triangular peninsula jutting out into the Gulf of St. Lawrence, with water on two sides of it, anybody who went out of it or into it had to pass over that hill road and so run the unseen gauntlet of Mrs. Rachel's all-seeing eye.

由于埃文利地处一个伸入圣劳伦斯湾的小三角形半岛，三面环水中有两面临海，任何进出此地的人都必须经过那条山路，从而无一例外地落入雷切尔太太那双无所不见的眼睛的监视之下。

She was sitting there one afternoon in early June.

六月初的一个下午，她正坐在那里。

The sun was coming in at the window warm and bright; the orchard on the slope below the house was in a bridal flush of pinky-white bloom, hummed over by a myriad of bees.

阳光暖融融、亮晶晶地透过窗户照进来；屋子下方坡地上的果园正绽放着新娘般娇艳的粉白色花朵，万千蜜蜂在其间嗡嗡飞舞。

Thomas Lynde--a meek little man whom Avonlea people called "Rachel Lynde's husband"--was sowing his late turnip seed on the hill field beyond the barn; and Matthew Cuthbert ought to have been sowing his on the big red brook field away over by Green Gables.

托马斯·林德——埃文利人口中那个被称作"雷切尔·林德的丈夫"的温顺小男人——正在谷仓那边的山坡地里播种晚萝卜；而马修·卡斯伯特本应在绿山墙那边的那片大红土溪畔田地里播种的。

Mrs. Rachel knew that he ought because she had heard him tell Peter Morrison the evening before in William J. Blair's store over at Carmody that he meant to sow his turnip seed the next afternoon.

雷切尔太太之所以知道他本应如此，是因为她前一天晚上在卡莫迪的威廉·J·布莱尔商店里，亲耳听见他告诉彼得·莫里森，说他打算第二天下午播种萝卜。

Peter had asked him, of course, for Matthew Cuthbert had never been known to volunteer information about anything in his whole life.

当然，这是彼得问出来的，因为马修·卡斯伯特这辈子从来不曾主动开口说过什么。
