The Social Cancer: A Complete English Version of Noli Me Tangere — Page 7
When any recalcitrants refused to accept the new order, or later showed an inclination to break away from it, the military forces, acting usually under secret directions from the padre, made raids in the disaffected parts with all the unpitying atrocity the Spanish soldiery were ever capable of displaying in their dealings with a weaker people.
反抗的な者たちが新秩序の受け入れを拒んだり、後にそこから離脱しようとする傾向を示した場合には、通常は神父からの秘密の指示のもとに行動する軍隊が、より弱い民族との関わりにおいてスペイン兵がかつて示しえた限りの無慈悲な残虐さをもって、不満を抱く地域に対して急襲を行った。
After sufficient punishment had been inflicted and a wholesome fear inspired, the padre very opportunely interfered in the natives' behalf, by which means they were convinced that peace and security lay in submission to the authorities, especially to the curate of their town or district.
十分な懲罰が与えられ、適切な恐怖心が植え付けられた後、神父は非常に好都合なタイミングで原住民のために介入し、それによって彼らは、平和と安全が当局、とりわけ自分たちの町や地区の主任司祭への服従の中にあると納得させられた。
A single example will suffice to make the method clear: not an isolated instance but a typical case chosen from among the mass of records left by the chief actors themselves.
この手法を明らかにするには一つの例で十分である。それは孤立した事例ではなく、主要な当事者たち自身が残した膨大な記録の中から選ばれた典型的な事例である。
Fray Domingo Perez, evidently a man of courage and conviction, for he later lost his life in the work of which he wrote, was the Dominican vicar on the Zambales coast when that Order temporarily took over the district from the Recollects.
フライ・ドミンゴ・ペレスは、明らかに勇気と信念の人であり、というのも彼は後に自らが記した活動の中で命を落とすことになるが、ドミニコ会がレコレクトス会から一時的にその地区を引き継いだ際に、サンバレス海岸のドミニコ会代理司祭を務めていた。
