赤毛のアン3章9

"YOU would cry, too, if you were an orphan and
had come to a place you thought was going to be
home and found that they didn't want you because
you weren't a boy. Oh, this is the most TRAGICAL
thing that ever happened to me!"

orphan:孤児
tragical: = tragic,悲劇的な

「おばさんもきっと泣くわ。身寄りがなくて、自分の家
族になると思っていた人から、男の子じゃないっていう
理由で欲しくないって言われたら、泣くわよ。これまで
でこれほど悲劇的なことはなかったわ」
