Dracula — Page 1

English → Japanese CHAPTER XXVII. Mina Harker’s Journal Level 7/10

How these papers have been placed in sequence will be made manifest in the reading of them.

これらの文書がどのように順序立てて並べられたかは、それらを読むことによって明らかになるであろう。

All needless matters have been eliminated, so that a history almost at variance with the possibilities of later-day belief may stand forth as simple fact.

後世の信念の可能性とほぼ相容れない歴史が単純な事実として浮かび上がるよう、すべての不必要な事柄は取り除かれた。

There is throughout no statement of past things wherein memory may err, for all the records chosen are exactly contemporary, given from the standpoints and within the range of knowledge of those who made them.

選ばれた記録はすべてまさに同時代のものであり、それらを作成した人々の立場から、かつその知識の範囲内で記されたものであるから、記憶が誤りを犯しうるような過去の事柄についての記述は全編を通じて一切存在しない。
