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

The doctor never so much as moved.

医者はまったく動じなかった。

He spoke to him as before, over his shoulder and in the same tone of voice, rather high, so that all the room might hear, but perfectly calm and steady: "If you do not put that knife this instant in your pocket, I promise, upon my honour, you shall hang at the next assizes."

彼はこれまでと同じように、肩越しに、部屋中に聞こえるよう少し高めの、しかし完全に落ち着いた安定した声で言った。「そのナイフを今すぐポケットにしまわないなら、名誉にかけて約束する、お前は次の巡回裁判所で絞首刑になるぞ。」

Then followed a battle of looks between them, but the captain soon knuckled under, put up his weapon, and resumed his seat, grumbling like a beaten dog.

そのあと二人の間で視線の戦いが続いたが、船長はすぐに折れ、武器をしまい、打ちのめされた犬のようにぶつぶつ言いながら席に戻った。

"And now, sir," continued the doctor, "since I now know there's such a fellow in my district, you may count I'll have an eye upon you day and night.

「さて、」と医者は続けた、「私の管轄区域にそのような人物がいることがわかった以上、昼も夜もお前を監視するつもりだ。

I'm not a doctor only; I'm a magistrate; and if I catch a breath of complaint against you, if it's only for a piece of incivility like tonight's, I'll take effectual means to have you hunted down and routed out of this.

私は医者であるだけでなく、治安判事でもある。お前に対する苦情をほんの少しでも耳にしたら、たとえ今夜のような無礼な振る舞いであっても、お前を追い詰めここから追い出す有効な手段を講じるつもりだ。

Let that suffice."

それだけ言っておけば十分だろう。」

Soon after, Dr. Livesey's horse came to the door and he rode away, but the captain held his peace that evening, and for many evenings to come.

まもなく、リヴジー先生の馬が玄関に引かれてきて、彼は馬に乗って去っていったが、船長はその夜も、その後の多くの夜も、おとなしくしていた。

第二章

Black Dog Appears and Disappears

黒い犬、現れて消える

It was not very long after this that there occurred the first of the mysterious events that rid us at last of the captain, though not, as you will see, of his affairs.

これからそれほど時が経たないうちに、最終的に船長を私たちのもとから去らせることになる不思議な出来事の最初のものが起きたのだが、ご覧のように、彼の事柄からは逃れられなかった。
