绿山墙的安妮9-15章 纯英文(22)
"No.I'm not going to take the scholarship.I'm going to teach.I've applied for the school here,but I think it has been promised to Gilbert Blythe.But I can teach at another school.I have it all planned out,Marilla.You won't be lonely.We'll be happy here together,you and I."
"Oh,Anne,I can't let you give up your dream for me."
"I'm not giving up my dream!"Anne laughed."It has just changed a little-a bend in the road.My mind is quite made up,Marilla.I'm not going to Redmond,and I am going to stay here and teach."
"You wonderful girl!"said Marilla.
The news soon spread around town.Most people thought Anne was foolish not to to Redmond,but Mrs.Allan and Mrs.Lynde did not.
"Well,Anne,I hear they are going to let you teach in the school right here in Avonlea,"said Mrs.Lynde the next day.
"Mrs.Lynde!"cried Anne,surprised."I thought they had promised it to Gilbert Blythe!"
"So they did.As soon as Gilbert heard that you had applied for it,he went to them and made them give it to you.He is going to teach at White Sands.It was real kind and thoughtful of him,I think."
