English → Japanese PART ONE--The Old Buccaneer Level 6/10

But by this time we had all long ceased to pay any particular notice to the song; it was new, that night, to nobody but Dr. Livesey, and on him I observed it did not produce an agreeable effect, for he looked up for a moment quite angrily before he went on with his talk to old Taylor, the gardener, on a new cure for the rheumatics.

しかしその頃には、私たちは皆とっくにその歌に特別な注意を払うことをやめていた。その夜、その歌が新鮮だったのはリヴジー先生だけで、先生にはあまり好ましい効果をもたらさなかったと私は見て取った。というのも、先生は庭師の老テイラーとリウマチの新しい治療法について話を続ける前に、ちょっとの間かなり怒った様子で顔を上げたからだ。

In the meantime, the captain gradually brightened up at his own music, and at last flapped his hand upon the table before him in a way we all knew to mean silence.

その間、船長は自分の歌にだんだんと気分が良くなっていき、ついには私たちが皆、沈黙を意味すると知っている仕草で、目の前のテーブルに手をぴしゃりと叩きつけた。

The voices stopped at once, all but Dr. Livesey's; he went on as before speaking clear and kind and drawing briskly at his pipe between every word or two.

声はすぐに止まった。リヴジー先生以外は。先生は以前と変わらず、はっきりと穏やかに話し続け、一言か二言ごとにパイプをすかさず吸っていた。

The captain glared at him for a while, flapped his hand again, glared still harder, and at last broke out with a villainous, low oath, "Silence, there, between decks!"

船長はしばらくの間先生をにらみつけ、また手をぴしゃりと叩き、さらに強くにらみつけ、ついには悪辣な低い罵り声を上げた。「静かにしろ、そこの甲板の間！」

"Were you addressing me, sir?" says the doctor; and when the ruffian had told him, with another oath, that this was so, "I have only one thing to say to you, sir," replies the doctor, "that if you keep on drinking rum, the world will soon be quit of a very dirty scoundrel!"

「私に話しかけていたのですか？」と先生は言った。そして、その乱暴者がまた罵りながらそうだと告げると、「あなたに申し上げることは一つだけです」と先生は答えた。「このままラム酒を飲み続けるなら、世界はすぐに非常に汚らわしい悪党から解放されるでしょう！」

The old fellow's fury was awful.

老人の怒りは凄まじかった。

He sprang to his feet, drew and opened a sailor's clasp-knife, and balancing it open on the palm of his hand, threatened to pin the doctor to the wall.

彼は飛び上がって立ち上がり、船乗りの折り畳みナイフを取り出して開き、それを手のひらの上で開いたままバランスを取りながら、先生を壁に縫い付けると脅した。
