The purr grew louder, and ended in the full-throated “Aaarh!” of the tiger’s charge.
The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling
トラが おたけびを あげた。
- predicate:
- 雄叫びを上げる
Then there was a howl—an untigerish howl—from Shere Khan.
そのとき、トラらしからぬ こえが あがった。
- らしからぬ(らしからぬ, uncharacteristic)
The Japanese word “らしからぬ” describes behavior or appearance that is unusual for someone, deviating from what is normally expected of them. It is used when a person acts in a way that does not match their typical personality, habits, or style.
“He has missed,” said Mother Wolf. “What is it?”
「かれは しっぱいした」
- predicate:
- 失敗する
Father Wolf ran out a few paces and heard Shere Khan muttering and mumbling savagely as he tumbled about in the scrub.
ちちオオカミは トラの もんくをいうこえが きこえた。
- modifier:
- 文句を言う声が
“The fool has had no more sense than to jump at a woodcutter’s campfire, and has burned his feet,” said Father Wolf with a grunt. “Tabaqui is with him.”
「おろかものは はんだんりょくがなかった」
- subject:
- 愚か者は
“Something is coming uphill,” said Mother Wolf, twitching one ear. “Get ready.”
「なにかが さかを のぼっている」

- 何かが
The bushes rustled a little in the thicket, and Father Wolf dropped with his haunches under him, ready for his leap.
ちちオオカミは とぶ じゅんびをした。

Then, if you had been watching, you would have seen the most wonderful thing in the world—the wolf checked in mid-spring.
そのとき、ちちオオカミが ちょうやくちゅうに とまった。
- たまげる(たまげる, be astonished)
The Japanese word “たまげる” means to be extremely surprised or shocked by something unexpected. It is used when a person reacts strongly to sudden news, unusual events, or anything far beyond their expectations.
- modifier:
- 跳躍中に
He made his bound before he saw what it was he was jumping at, and then he tried to stop himself.
かれは とんだあとに とまろうとした。
- predicate:
- 跳んだ後に
The result was that he shot up straight into the air for four or five feet, landing almost where he left ground.
そのけっか、かれは ４，５フィート とびあがり、もとのばしょに ちゃくちした。

着地する
“Man!” he snapped. “A man’s cub. Look!”
