The Count of Monte Cristo — Page 15
Father and Son
父と息子
We will leave Danglars struggling with the demon of hatred, and endeavoring to insinuate in the ear of the shipowner some evil suspicions against his comrade, and follow Dantès, who, after having traversed La Canebière, took the Rue de Noailles, and entering a small house, on the left of the Allées de Meilhan, rapidly ascended four flights of a dark staircase, holding the baluster with one hand, while with the other he repressed the beatings of his heart, and paused before a half-open door, from which he could see the whole of a small room.
ダングラールが憎しみの悪魔と格闘しながら、船主の耳に仲間への悪意ある疑惑を吹き込もうとしているところはそのままにして、ラ・カヌビエールを横切り、ノアイユ通りに入り、メイアン並木道の左側にある小さな家に入って、片手で手すりを握りながら、もう片方の手で高鳴る胸を抑え、薄暗い階段を四階まで素早く駆け上がり、半開きのドアの前で立ち止まったダンテスを追うことにしよう。そのドアからは、小さな部屋の全体が見渡せた。
This room was occupied by Dantès' father.
この部屋はダンテスの父が住んでいた。
The news of the arrival of the _Pharaon_ had not yet reached the old man, who, mounted on a chair, was amusing himself by training with trembling hand the nasturtiums and sprays of clematis that clambered over the trellis at his window.
ファラオン号の到着の知らせはまだ老人のもとに届いておらず、老人は椅子の上に乗り、窓の格子に絡みついたナスタチウムとクレマチスの枝を、震える手で手入れして楽しんでいた。
Suddenly, he felt an arm thrown around his body, and a well-known voice behind him exclaimed, "Father—dear father!"
突然、体に腕が回されるのを感じ、背後からよく知った声が叫んだ。「父さん——愛しい父さん！」
The old man uttered a cry, and turned round; then, seeing his son, he fell into his arms, pale and trembling.
老人は叫び声を上げて振り返った。そして息子の姿を見ると、青ざめて震えながらその腕の中に倒れ込んだ。
"What ails you, my dearest father? Are you ill?" inquired the young man, much alarmed.
「どうしたんですか、お父さん？具合が悪いのですか？」青年は非常に心配して尋ねた。
"No, no, my dear Edmond—my boy—my son!—no; but I did not expect you; and joy, the surprise of seeing you so suddenly—Ah, I feel as if I were going to die."
「いいや、いいや、愛しいエドモン——わが子よ——息子よ！——いいや。ただ、お前が来るとは思っていなかった。喜びと、突然お前に会えた驚きで——ああ、死んでしまいそうだ。」
"Come, come, cheer up, my dear father! 'Tis I—really I!
「さあ、さあ、元気を出してください、お父さん！私ですよ——本当に私です！」
