アンの青春7章25

Mrs. Lynde says that Mr. Wiggins sells everything off the place that can be sold and brings his family up on skim milk. You wouldn't like your relations to be starved, even if they were only third cousins, would you? It seems to me, Marilla, that it is our duty to take them."

sell everything off:ことごとく売却する
bring up on the bottle:ミルクで育てる
relation:親戚
starved:飢えた
third cousin:またいとこの子

ウィギンスさんというのは、家にあるものなら何でも売り払って家族はスキムミルクで育ててるってリンドさんは言うわ。遠い親戚といっても、親戚を飢えさせたくはないわよね？　双子を引き取るのは私たちの義務じゃないかしら、マリラ」
