The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Complete — Page 11

English → Japanese CHAPTER I Level 5/10

At last the enemy's mother appeared, and called Tom a bad, vicious, vulgar child, and ordered him away.

ついに敵の母親が現れ、トムのことを悪くて乱暴で下品な子だと言い、追い払った。

So he went away; but he said he "'lowed" to "lay" for that boy.

それでトムは立ち去ったが、あの少年を「待ち伏せ」してやると言った。

He got home pretty late that night, and when he climbed cautiously in at the window, he uncovered an ambuscade, in the person of his aunt; and when she saw the state his clothes were in her resolution to turn his Saturday holiday into captivity at hard labor became adamantine in its firmness.

その夜、トムはかなり遅く帰宅し、窓からそっとよじ登ると、伯母さんという名の待ち伏せを発見した。そして伯母さんが彼の服の状態を見ると、土曜日の休日を強制労働の拘禁に変えようという彼女の決意は、岩のように固いものになった。
