That's what she did," said Joe, slowly clearing the fire between the lower bars with the poker, and looking at it; "she Ram-paged out, Pip."

「それが彼女のやったことだよ」とジョーはゆっくりと火かき棒で下の格子の間の火をかき混ぜながら、それを見て言った。「彼女は暴れて出て行ったんだ、ピップ」

"Has she been gone long, Joe?" I always treated him as a larger species of child, and as no more than my equal.

「彼女はずっと前に出て行ったのですか、ジョー？」私はいつも彼を自分と対等な、少し大きな子供のように扱っていた。

"Well," said Joe, glancing up at the Dutch clock, "she's been on the Ram-page, this last spell, about five minutes, Pip. She's a-coming! Get behind the door, old chap, and have the jack-towel betwixt you."

「そうさな」とジョーはオランダ時計をちらりと見上げながら言った。「彼女が暴れ出してから、このところ、だいたい五分ほどだよ、ピップ。もうすぐ来るぞ！ドアの後ろに隠れろよ、おい、タオルを間に挟んでおけ」

I took the advice. My sister, Mrs. Joe, throwing the door wide open, and finding an obstruction behind it, immediately divined the cause, and applied Tickler to its further investigation.

私はその助言に従った。私の姉、ジョー夫人はドアを勢いよく開け、その後ろに障害物があることに気づくと、すぐに原因を察し、ティックラーをもってさらなる調査に当たった。

She concluded by throwing me—I often served as a connubial missile—at Joe, who, glad to get hold of me on any terms, passed me on into the chimney and quietly fenced me up there with his great leg.

彼女は最終的に私を——私はよく夫婦間の投擲物として使われた——ジョーに向かって投げつけた。ジョーはどんな形であれ私を抱きとめることができて喜び、私を暖炉の中へと押しやり、その大きな脚で静かに囲い込んだ。

"Where have you been, you young monkey?" said Mrs. Joe, stamping her foot. "Tell me directly what you've been doing to wear me away with fret and fright and worrit, or I'd have you out of that corner if you was fifty Pips, and he was five hundred Gargerys."

「どこへ行っていたの、このやんちゃ坊主！」とジョー夫人は足を踏み鳴らして言った。「私をこんなに心配させて怖がらせて悩ませて、何をしていたか今すぐ話しなさい。そうしないと、あなたがピップ五十人分で、彼がガジャリー五百人分だったとしても、その隅から引きずり出してやるわ」

"I have only been to the churchyard," said I, from my stool, crying and rubbing myself.

「ただ墓地へ行っただけです」と私は腰掛けの上から、泣きながら体をさすりながら言った。

"Churchyard!" repeated my sister. "If it warn't for me you'd have been to the churchyard long ago, and stayed there. Who brought you up by hand?

「墓地！」と姉は繰り返した。「私がいなければ、あなたはとっくに墓地へ行って、そこに留まっていたでしょうよ。誰があなたを手塩にかけて育てたと思っているの？
