The Expedition of Humphry Clinker — Page 2
I want none of his submissions, neither will I pocket any of his money.
彼の謝罪など一切受け入れる気はないし、彼の金も一銭も受け取るつもりはない。
The fellow is a bad neighbour, and I desire, to have nothing to do with him: but as he is purse-proud, he shall pay for his insolence: let him give five pounds to the poor of the parish, and I will withdraw my action; and in the mean time you may tell Prig to stop proceedings.
あの男は悪い隣人であり、私は彼と一切関わりたくない。しかし彼は金に物を言わせる男だから、その傲慢さの代償を払わせてやろう。教区の貧しい者たちに五ポンドを寄付させれば、私は訴えを取り下げる。その間、プリグに手続きを止めるよう伝えてくれ。
Let Morgan's widow have the Alderney cow, and forty shillings to clothe her children: but don't say a syllable of the matter to any living soul--I'll make her pay when she is able.
モーガンの未亡人にオルダニー牛を与え、子供たちの衣服のために四十シリングを渡してやれ。しかしこのことは誰にも一言も漏らすな――彼女が余裕ができたときに返済させるつもりだ。
I desire you will lock up all my drawers, and keep the keys till meeting; and be sure you take the iron chest with my papers into your own custody--Forgive all, this trouble from,
私の引き出しをすべて鍵をかけて施錠し、次に会うまで鍵を保管しておいてほしい。また書類の入った鉄の箱を必ずあなた自身の管理のもとに置いてくれ――このような煩わしいことを頼んで申し訳ない。
