The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Complete — Page 4

English → Japanese CHAPTER II Level 5/10

He was eating an apple, and giving a long, melodious whoop, at intervals, followed by a deep-toned ding-dong-dong, ding-dong-dong, for he was personating a steamboat.

彼はリンゴを食べながら、時折、長く melodious な叫び声を上げ、その後に低い音のディン・ドン・ドン、ディン・ドン・ドンと続けた。というのも、彼は汽船の真似をしていたからだ。

As he drew near, he slackened speed, took the middle of the street, leaned far over to starboard and rounded to ponderously and with laborious pomp and circumstance—for he was personating the Big Missouri, and considered himself to be drawing nine feet of water.

近づくにつれて、彼は速度を落とし、道の真ん中を歩き、右舷に大きく身を傾け、重々しく大げさな儀式とともに回り込んだ。というのも、彼はビッグ・ミズーリ号を演じており、自分が九フィートの喫水で航行していると思い込んでいたからだ。

He was boat and captain and engine-bells combined, so he had to imagine himself standing on his own hurricane-deck giving the orders and executing them:

彼は船であり、船長であり、エンジンの鐘でもあったので、自分がハリケーン・デッキに立って命令を下し、それを実行していると想像しなければならなかった。

"Stop her, sir! Ting-a-ling-ling!" The headway ran almost out, and he drew up slowly toward the sidewalk.

「止めろ、そこ!チンチンチン!」前進の勢いはほとんど尽き、彼はゆっくりと歩道に向かって進んだ。

"Ship up to back! Ting-a-ling-ling!" His arms straightened and stiffened down his sides.

「後退の準備!チンチンチン!」彼の腕は真っ直ぐに伸び、両脇に硬直した。

"Set her back on the stabboard! Ting-a-ling-ling! Chow! ch-chow-wow! Chow!" His right hand, mean-time, describing stately circles—for it was representing a forty-foot wheel.

「右舷を後退させろ!チンチンチン!チャウ!チャウ・ワウ!チャウ!」その間、彼の右手は優雅な円を描いていた。四十フィートの舵輪を表していたのだ。

"Let her go back on the labboard! Ting-a-ling-ling! Chow-ch-chow-chow!" The left hand began to describe circles.

「左舷を後退させろ!チンチンチン!チャウ・チャウ・チャウ!」左手が円を描き始めた。

"Stop the stabboard! Ting-a-ling-ling! Stop the labboard! Come ahead on the stabboard! Stop her! Let your outside turn over slow! Ting-a-ling-ling! Chow-ow-ow! Get out that head-line! _lively_ now! Come—out with your spring-line—what're you about there! Take a turn round that stump with the bight of it! Stand by that stage, now—let her go! Done with the engines, sir! Ting-a-ling-ling! SH'T! S'H'T! SH'T!" (trying the gauge-cocks).

「右舷止めろ!チンチンチン!左舷止めろ!右舷前進!止めろ!外側をゆっくり回せ!チンチンチン!チャウ・オウ・オウ!船首のロープを出せ!さっさとしろ!さあ、スプリング・ラインを出せ、何をしてるんだ!そのロープの折り返しであの切り株に一回りさせろ!タラップの準備、さあ離せ!エンジン停止、了解!チンチンチン!シュッ!シュッ!シュッ!」(圧力弁を試しながら)

Tom went on whitewashing—paid no attention to the steamboat.

トムは白塗りの作業を続け、汽船には一切注意を払わなかった。

Ben stared a moment and then said: "_Hi-Yi!

ベンはしばらく見つめてから言った。「ヒャッホー!
