Ulysses — Page 12
Folded away in the memory of nature with her toys.
彼女のおもちゃとともに、自然の記憶の中にしまい込まれて。
Memories beset his brooding brain.
記憶が彼の物思いにふける脳裏を取り囲んだ。
Her glass of water from the kitchen tap when she had approached the sacrament.
彼女が聖餐に近づいたとき、台所の蛇口から注いだ彼女のコップの水。
A cored apple, filled with brown sugar, roasting for her at the hob on a dark autumn evening.
暗い秋の夕べ、暖炉の鉄板の上で彼女のために焼かれていた、黒砂糖を詰めた芯抜きのりんご。
Her shapely fingernails reddened by the blood of squashed lice from the children's shirts.
子供たちのシャツから潰したシラミの血で赤く染まった、彼女の形のよい爪。
In a dream, silently, she had come to him, her wasted body within its loose graveclothes giving off an odour of wax and rosewood, her breath, bent over him with mute secret words, a faint odour of wetted ashes.
夢の中で、彼女は静かに彼のもとへやってきた。ゆったりとした経帷子をまとった痩せ衰えた体からは蝋と紫檀の匂いが漂い、声なき秘密の言葉をささやきながら彼の上に屈み込む彼女の息からは、濡れた灰のかすかな匂いがした。
Her glazing eyes, staring out of death, to shake and bend my soul.
死の彼方から見つめる彼女の曇りゆく目は、私の魂を揺さぶり、打ちのめすために。
On me alone.
ただ私ひとりに。
The ghostcandle to light her agony.
彼女の苦悶を照らす臨終の蝋燭。
Ghostly light on the tortured face.
苦悶に歪んだ顔に差す幽霊のような光。
Her hoarse loud breath rattling in horror, while all prayed on their knees.
すべての者が膝まずいて祈る中、恐怖に満ちたしわがれた荒い息がぜいぜいと鳴った。
Her eyes on me to strike me down.
私を打ち倒さんとする彼女の眼差し。
_Liliata rutilantium te confessorum turma circumdet: iubilantium te virginum chorus excipiat._
_Liliata rutilantium te confessorum turma circumdet: iubilantium te virginum chorus excipiat._
Ghoul! Chewer of corpses!
グール！屍肉を食らう者！
No, mother! Let me be and let me live.
いや、母さん！私をそっとしておいて、生きさせてくれ。
—Kinch ahoy!
―キンチ、おーい！
Buck Mulligan's voice sang from within the tower.
バック・マリガンの声が塔の中から響いてきた。
It came nearer up the staircase, calling again.
その声は階段を上り近づいてきながら、再び呼びかけた。
Stephen, still trembling at his soul's cry, heard warm running sunlight and in the air behind him friendly words.
スティーヴンは、魂の叫びにまだ震えながら、暖かく流れる陽光と、背後の空気の中に友好的な言葉を聞いた。
—Dedalus, come down, like a good mosey.
―ディーダラス、ゆっくりでいいから降りてこい。
Breakfast is ready.
朝飯の準備ができてるぞ。
Haines is apologising for waking us last night.
ヘインズが昨夜俺たちを起こしたことを謝っている。
It's all right.
