The Adventures of Reddy Fox — Page 24

English → Japanese Full Text Level 3/10

But as he saw how very helpless Reddy really was and how much pain he felt, suddenly Peter Rabbit's big, soft eyes filled with tears of pity.

しかし、レディが本当にどれほど無力であるか、そしてどれほどの痛みを感じているかを見たとき、突然ピーター・ラビットの大きく柔らかな目が哀れみの涙で満たされました。

He forgot all about the threats of Reddy Fox and how Reddy had tried to trick him.

彼はレディ・フォックスの脅しや、レディが彼を騙そうとしたことをすっかり忘れてしまいました。

He forgot all about how mean Reddy had been.

彼はレディがどれほど意地悪だったかもすっかり忘れてしまいました。

"Poor Reddy Fox," said Peter Rabbit. "Poor Reddy Fox."

「かわいそうなレディ・フォックス」とピーター・ラビットは言いました。「かわいそうなレディ・フォックス」

XI. Granny Fox Returns

XI. グラニー・フォックスの帰還

Up over the hill trotted old Granny Fox.

丘の上をトコトコと老いたグラニー・フォックスが歩いてきました。

She was on her way home with a tender young chicken for Reddy Fox.

彼女はレディ・フォックスのために柔らかな若い鶏を持って家に帰る途中でした。

Poor Reddy!

かわいそうなレディ！

Of course, it was his own fault, for he had been showing off and he had been careless or he never would have gone so near to the old tree trunk behind which Farmer Brown's boy was hiding.

もちろん、それは彼自身のせいでした。なぜなら彼は見せびらかしていて不注意だったからです。そうでなければ、ブラウン農夫の息子が隠れていた古い木の幹のそんなに近くには決して行かなかったでしょう。

But old Granny Fox didn't know this.

しかし、老いたグラニー・フォックスはこのことを知りませんでした。

She never makes such mistakes herself.

彼女自身はそのような間違いを決してしません。

Oh, my, no!

まあ、とんでもない！

So now, as she came up over the hill to a place where she could see her home, she laid the chicken down and then she crept behind a little bush and looked all over the Green Meadows to see if the way was clear.

そこで今、彼女が丘を越えて自分の家が見える場所に来たとき、彼女は鶏を置き、それから小さな茂みの後ろにそっと忍び込んで、道が安全かどうか確かめるためにグリーン・メドウズ全体を見渡しました。

She knew that Bowser the Hound was chained up.

彼女は猟犬のバウザーが鎖につながれていることを知っていました。

She had seen Farmer Brown and Farmer Brown's boy hoeing in the cornfield, so she had nothing to fear from them.

彼女はブラウン農夫とブラウン農夫の息子がトウモロコシ畑で草取りをしているのを見ていたので、彼らから恐れることは何もありませんでした。
