赤毛のアン18章29

"That little redheaded girl they have over at Cuthbert's is as smart as they make 'em. I tell you she saved that baby's life, for it would have been too late by the time I got there. She seems to have a skill and presence of mind perfectly wonderful in a child of her age. I never saw anything like the eyes of her when she was explaining the case to me."

smart:賢明な
'em:them の省略形
as ... as they make 'em:この上なく…で
skill:手腕
presence of mind:沈着,平静

カスバート家が引き取ったあの赤毛の女の子はとても賢いね。あの子がこの赤ちゃんを助けたのだよ。なにしろ私が着く頃には手遅れになっていただろうからね。あの年頃の子どもにしては知識もあるし、何と言っても沈着冷静だ。あの子が状況を私に説明するときの目だが、あんな目をした子にはお目にかかったことがないよ」
