Mother Wolf threw herself down panting among the cubs, and Father Wolf said to her gravely:
The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling
ははオオカミは こどもたちのなかに たおれこんだ、
- predicate:
- 倒れ込む
“Shere Khan speaks this much truth. The cub must be shown to the Pack.
「にんげんのこを むれに みせなければならない」
- modifier:
- 人間の仔を
Wilt thou still keep him, Mother?”
「あなたは まだ かれを ほごするつもり?」
- predicate:
- 保護する
“Keep him!” she gasped. “He came naked, by night, alone and very hungry; yet he was not afraid!
「かれを みすてるな!」
- predicate:
- 見捨てるな
Look, he has pushed one of my babes to one side already.
「かれは わたしのこを おしのけた」
- predicate:
- 押し退ける
And that lame butcher would have killed him and would have run off to the Waingunga while the villagers here hunted through all our lairs in revenge!
「シア・カーンは かれを ころしていたはずだ」
Keep him? Assuredly I will keep him. Lie still, little frog. O thou Mowgli—for Mowgli the Frog I will call thee—the time will come when thou wilt hunt Shere Khan as he has hunted thee.”
「わたしは かれを ほごするつもりだ」
“But what will our Pack say?” said Father Wolf.
「われわれの むれは なんというだろう?」
- subject:
- 我々の群れは
The Law of the Jungle lays down very clearly that any wolf may, when he marries, withdraw from the Pack he belongs to.
オオカミは けっこんするときに むれから ぬけてよい。
- predicate:
- 抜ける
But as soon as his cubs are old enough to stand on their feet he must bring them to the Pack Council, which is generally held once a month at full moon, in order that the other wolves may identify them.
オオカミは むれのぎかいへ そのこを つれていかなければならない。
- modifier:
- 群れの議会へ
- お披露目(おひろめ, unveiling / debut)
The Japanese word “おひろめ” refers to the act of presenting something or someone publicly for the first time. It is often used when a new product, performance, project, or even a person is officially introduced to an audience. The term implies a formal or special moment of debut or unveiling.
After that inspection the cubs are free to run where they please, and until they have killed their first buck no excuse is accepted if a grown wolf of the Pack kills one of them.
そのあと、そのこは じゆうに はしれる。
The punishment is death where the murderer can be found; and if you think for a minute you will see that this must be so.
こをころしたものは しざいだ。
- subject:
- 仔を殺した者は
- predicate:
- 死罪だ
