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

西面的窗户朝向后院,和煦的六月阳光如洪流般涌入;

through the west one, looking out on the back yard, came a flood of mellow June sunlight;

而东面的窗户则能瞥见左边果园里盛开的白色樱桃树,以及小溪边洼地里婀娜摇曳的白桦树,

but the east one, whence you got a glimpse of the bloom white cherry-trees in the left orchard and nodding, slender birches down in the hollow by the brook,

那扇窗户被一丛缠绕的藤蔓遮得满是绿意。

was greened over by a tangle of vines.

玛丽拉·卡斯伯特每当坐下来的时候,就坐在这里,

Here sat Marilla Cuthbert, when she sat at all,

她总是对阳光略存戒心,觉得阳光太过轻盈跳跃、太不稳重,

always slightly distrustful of sunshine, which seemed to her too dancing and irresponsible a thing

不适合这个本该认真对待的世界;

for a world which was meant to be taken seriously;

她此刻就坐在这里织着毛线,她身后的桌子已经摆好了晚餐。

and here she sat now, knitting, and the table behind her was laid for supper.

雷切尔太太还没把门完全关上,就已经在心里把桌上的东西记了个一清二楚。

Mrs. Rachel, before she had fairly closed the door, had taken a mental note of everything that was on that table.

桌上摆了三副碗碟,可见玛丽拉一定是在等马修带人回来喝茶;

There were three plates laid, so that Marilla must be expecting some one home with Matthew to tea;

但碗碟都是平日里用的普通碗碟,只有蟹苹果果酱和一种蛋糕,

but the dishes were everyday dishes and there was only crab-apple preserves and one kind of cake,

所以来的客人应该不是什么特别尊贵的人。

so that the expected company could not be any particular company.

可是,马修那件白领衬衫和那匹枣红母马又作何解释呢?

Yet what of Matthew's white collar and the sorrel mare?

雷切尔太太越想越觉得头晕,这个一向平静、毫无神秘感的绿山墙农舍,如今竟让她如此困惑不解。

Mrs. Rachel was getting fairly dizzy with this unusual mystery about quiet, unmysterious Green Gables.

"晚上好,雷切尔,"玛丽拉爽快地说,"今晚天气真好,不是吗?请坐吧。你们家里都好吗?"

"Good evening, Rachel," Marilla said briskly. "This is a real fine evening, isn't it? Won't you sit down? How are all your folks?"

玛丽拉·卡斯伯特与雷切尔太太之间存在着一种情谊——姑且称之为友谊吧,尽管找不到更贴切的词——而且这份情谊由来已久。

Something that for lack of any other name might be called friendship existed and always had existed between Marilla Cuthbert and Mrs. Rachel.
