原文
"Oh, I don't know." Anne looked dreamily afar to the opal-tinted
horizon. "Marilla's eyes will never be much better than they are now,
although we are so thankful to think that they will not get worse. And
then there are the twins . . . somehow I don't believe their uncle will
ever really send for them. Perhaps college may be around the bend in the
road, but I haven't got to the bend yet and I don't think much about it
lest I might grow discontented."
