The Expedition of Humphry Clinker — Page 1
Heaving this importunity, I send, my love to you and Saul, being in good health, and hoping to hear the same from you; and that you and Saul will take my poor kitten to bed with you this cold weather.
このようなご無礼をお許しいただき、あなたとソールにご挨拶申し上げます。私は元気にしておりますが、あなた方も同様であることを願っております。また、この寒い季節に、あなたとソールが私のかわいそうな子猫を一緒に寝床に入れてやってくださることを願っております。
We have been all in, a sad taking here at Glostar--Miss Liddy had like to have run away with a player-man, and young master and he would adone themselves a mischief; but the squire applied to the mare, and they were, bound over.
グロスターでは皆がひどく動揺しておりました――リディお嬢様が役者男と駆け落ちしそうになり、若旦那様とその男は互いに危害を加えようとしておりましたが、スクワイア様が治安判事に訴え出て、彼らは起訴されることになりました。
--Mistress bid me not speak a word of the matter to any Christian soul--no more I shall; for, we servints should see all and say nothing--
――奥様は私にこの件について誰にも一切口外しないようにとおっしゃいました――私もそのつもりです。というのも、私ども使用人はすべてを見ても何も言わないものでございますから――
But what was worse than all this, Chowder has had the misfortune to be worried by a butcher's dog, and came home in a terrible pickle--Mistress was taken with the asterisks, but they soon went off.
しかし何よりも最悪だったのは、チャウダーが肉屋の犬に噛まれるという不幸に遭い、ひどい有様で帰ってきたことです――奥様はひどく動転なさいましたが、すぐに落ち着かれました。
The doctor was sent for to Chowder, and he subscribed a repository which did him great service--thank God he's now in a fair way to do well--pray take care of my box and the pillyber and put them under your own bed; for, I do suppose madam, Gwyllim will be a prying into my secrets, now my back is turned.
チャウダーのために医者が呼ばれ、大変効果のある薬を処方してくださいました――神様のおかげで今では回復の見込みがございます――どうか私の箱とまくら入れをご自分のベッドの下に置いてお世話くださいませ。というのも、グウィリム奥様が私の留守中に私の秘密を詮索するに違いないと思っているからでございます。
John Thomas is in good health, but sulky.
ジョン・トーマスは元気ですが、不機嫌にしております。
The squire gave away an ould coat to a poor man; and John says as, how 'tis robbing him of his perquisites.
スクワイア様が古いコートを貧しい男に与えられましたが、ジョンはそれが自分の特権を奪うものだと申しております。
