The Expedition of Humphry Clinker — Page 2

English → Japanese RESPECTED SIR, Level 8/10

Finally, if you and I should come to a right understanding, I do declare in verbo sacerdotis, that, in case of any such prosecution, I will take the whole upon my own shoulders, even quoad fine and imprisonment, though, I must confess, I should not care to undergo flagellation: Tam ad turpitudinem, quam ad amaritudinem poenoe spectans--

最終的に、あなたと私が正しい理解に達するならば、私は司祭の言葉にかけて宣言します、そのような訴追が起きた場合には、鞭打ちの刑だけは勘弁願いたいと白状しなければなりませんが、罰金や禁固刑に至るまで、すべてを私自身の肩に引き受けるつもりです――刑罰の恥辱と苦痛の両面を見据えて――

Secondly, concerning the personal resentment of Mr Justice Lismahago, I may say, non flocci facio--I would not willingly vilipend any Christian, if, peradventure, he deserveth that epithet:

第二に、リズマハーゴ判事閣下の個人的な怒りについては、私はまったく意に介しないと申し上げましょう――万が一その称号に値するのであれば、いかなるキリスト教徒をも故意に貶めるつもりはありません。

albeit, I am much surprised that more care is not taken to exclude from the commission all such vagrant foreigners as may be justly suspected of disaffection to our happy constitution, in church and state--

とはいえ、教会と国家における我らが幸いなる憲法への反感を正当に疑われうる、そのような放浪の外国人すべてを治安判事団から排除するために、もっと注意が払われていないことには、大いに驚いております――

God forbid that I should be so uncharitable, as to affirm, positively, that the said Lismahago is no better than a Jesuit in disguise;

かの リズマハーゴが変装したイエズス会士に過ぎないと断言するほど、私が無慈悲であるなどとは神よ許したまえ。

but this I will assert and maintain, totis viribus, that, from the day he qualified, he has never been once seen intra templi parietes, that is to say, within the parish church.

しかしながら、これだけは全力をもって主張し、断言します。すなわち、彼が資格を得た日以来、彼は一度たりとも、イントラ・テンプリ・パリエテス、つまり教区教会の内部で目撃されたことがないのです。
