Toward evening, when Dorothy was tired with her long walk and began to wonder where she should pass the night, she came to a house rather larger than the rest.
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum
ドロシーは おおきな いえに たどりついた。
- predicate:
- たどり着く
On the green lawn before it many men and women were dancing.
しばふのうえで、
たすうの だんじょが おどっていた。
- subject:
- 多数の男女が
Five little fiddlers played as loudly as possible, and the people were laughing and singing, while a big table near by was loaded with delicious fruits and nuts, pies and cakes, and many other good things to eat.
テーブルは ごちそうで いっぱいだった。
The people greeted Dorothy kindly, and invited her to supper and to pass the night with them; for this was the home of one of the richest Munchkins in the land, and his friends were gathered with him to celebrate their freedom from the bondage of the Wicked Witch.
そのひとびとは ドロシーを あたたかく でむかえた。
- predicate:
- 出迎える
Dorothy ate a hearty supper and was waited upon by the rich Munchkin himself, whose name was Boq.
ドロシーは もてなしを うけた。
Then she sat upon a settee and watched the people dance.
そのあと、かのじょは ひとびとが おどるのを ながめた。
- predicate:
- 眺める
When Boq saw her silver shoes he said, “You must be a great sorceress.”
「あなたは きっと いだいな まじょなのだろう」
- 買い被り（かいかぶり, overestimation）
- “かいかぶり” means evaluating someone or something as more capable, talented, or valuable than they actually are. It implies giving excessive credit or assuming a higher level of ability without sufficient evidence.
“Why?” asked the girl.
「どうして？」
“Because you wear silver shoes and have killed the Wicked Witch.
「あなたが シルバーシューズを はいているから。
あなたが じゃあくなまじょを たいじしたから」
Besides, you have white in your frock, and only witches and sorceresses wear white.”
「あなたの ワンピースは しろい。
まじょだけが しろを きるのだ」
“My dress is blue and white checked,” said Dorothy, smoothing out the wrinkles in it.
「わたしの ドレスは チェックの あおとしろだ」
- predicate:
- 青と白だ
“It is kind of you to wear that,” said Boq. “Blue is the color of the Munchkins, and white is the witch color.
「ありがとう それを きてくれて」
So we know you are a friendly witch.”
「だから、わたしたちは わかる。
あなたが ゆうこうてきな まじょだと」
- predicate:
- あなたが友好的な魔女だとわかる
Dorothy did not know what to say to this, for all the people seemed to think her a witch, and she knew very well she was only an ordinary little girl who had come by the chance of a cyclone into a strange land.
かのじょは ただの ふつうの こどもだ。
